Chuck: Well, I was just about to figure that out.
查克：我正在想呢。
Woman A: Well, that's 83 South. And this road here will hook you up with I-40 East. If you turn right, that'll take you to Amarillo, Flagstaff, California. And if you head back that direction, you'll find a whole lotta nothin' all the way to Canada.
女A：那是83号公路南行线，这条可接上州际40号公路东行线。如果你右转可以去阿玛里洛，旗杆市加州，如果回头往那里走，经过一片荒芜直达加拿大。
Chuck: I got it.
查克：明白了。
Woman A: All right, then. Good luck, cowboy.
