Wendi: No, and a purple shirt too and a purple tie, some purple patent shoes and a purple brief case.
温迪：不好，还是紫色衬衫配紫色领带，再搭配一双紫色皮鞋，拿一个紫色公文包。

Todd: OK, what's a color you don't like?
托德：好，你不喜欢哪个颜色？
Wendi: A color I don't like. I'll show you a color I don't like, but I don't know if there's a name for it, the closest name would probably be mustard.
温迪：不喜欢的颜色。我可以给你看一下我不喜欢的颜色，不过我不确定那个颜色的准确说法，大概就是芥末黄这个颜色。
Todd: Like this green.
托德：就像这种绿色一样吗？
Wendi: You think that's a green. See I think that's more of baby diarrhea.
温迪：你觉得那是种绿色。我认为那更接近于婴儿腹泻的颜色。
Todd: It does actually look like baby diarrhea.
托德：看起来的确像婴儿腹泻的颜色。
Wendi: It is quite baby diarrhea. Have you ever had to change a baby's diaper?
温迪：就是很像婴儿腹泻的颜色。你给婴儿换过尿布吗？
Todd: Of course.
托德：当然换过。
Wendi: Yeah, it's kind of, it's about that color and that's one that I don't like. Yeah, it's bad isn't it.
温迪：对，就是那种颜色，那就是我不喜欢的颜色。那颜色很糟，是吧？
Todd: That is disgusting.
托德：有点儿恶心。
Wendi: There's a story behind those pants.
温迪：关于这条裤子有个有意思的故事。
Todd: Oh, yeah, what's the story behind the pants?
托德：这条裤子有什么有意思的故事？
Wendi: I think no one would buy them so they got heavily discounted and so I purchased them and then when I got home, I was like, "Wait a second! I know why no one else would buy those cause they're so ugly."
温迪：我觉得是因为没有人买这样的裤子，所以这裤子的折扣很低，所以我买了下来，然后我回家以后，我突然想到：等等，我知道为什么没人买这裤子了，因为它们太丑了！
Todd: What, you were working at a clothing store?
托德：你在服装店工作吗？
Wendi: No, I was shopping.
温迪：不是，我是去购物的。
Todd: And you noticed that no one buying these poor pants and you're like, 'I must buy them."
托德：你是注意到没人买那裤子然后你觉得你一定要买下来吗？
Wendi: Yeah. No, actually, I think like whenever I buy stuff, cause it's not often, my first thing is I look at the price tag and I was like, "Ah, dam, a thousand yen, I could use some work pants." And then I bought them and well, they've never been worn, but a little while later.
温迪：其实不是，我不经常买东西，所以我购物的时候第一件事就是看价格标签，所以当时我想：天哪，1000日元，我可以买来当作工作裤。然后我就买了，后来我一直没有穿过，不过之后……
Todd: Well, you've actually never worn these things?
托德：你从来没穿过这些衣服吗？
Wendi: I've never worn them.
温迪：没穿过。
Todd: Come on, you gotta, you know bust out.
托德：你要勇于尝试。
Wendi: I can't bust out. It's like me busting out in those is akin to you busting out in the purple suit. It's just not going to happen.
温迪：我做不到。对我来说，穿这样的裤子就像你穿紫色西装一样。是永远不会发生的事情。
Todd: Yeah, but you see, I would actually have to spend a lot of money. I would wear the purple suit but I just don't want to go buy it. If I actually had it I'd probably wear it.
托德：你看，我要穿紫色西装就要花一大笔钱。我会穿紫色西装，不过我只是不想买紫色西装。如果我有紫色西装，那我就会穿的。
Wendi: That's dishonest because if I got you a purple suit, you would not wear it.
温迪：你说的不是真话，如果我给你买一套紫色西装，你还是不会穿的。
Todd: Oh, buy it. I'll wear it.
托德：哦，你买吧。我会穿的。
Wendi: Oh, no way. There's not way you would.
温迪：不可能。你肯定不会穿的。
Todd: Because you know what, the greatest thing about being a teacher is you can wear whatever you want.
托德：你知道，当老师最棒的事情就是你可以想穿什么衣服就穿什么。
Wendi: That's kind of true.
温迪：这倒是事实。
Todd: You know because they expect you to have no fashion sense anyway.
托德：不过他们认为你没有时尚品味。
Wendi: For sure.
温迪：没错。
Todd: So.
托德：是吗？
Wendi: It is true actually.
温迪：其实这没错。
