A: Man, I'm freaking out. You gotta help me. 兄弟，我现在焦虑不安，你要帮帮我。
B: Whoa, whoa, take it easy, relax. Geez, you're sweating like a pig. What's going on? 哇哦哇哦，放松点儿。天呐，你汗流浃背，发生什么事情了？
A: I can't go through with this. I just can't....I'm not ready for marriage. What was I thinking? I'm only 35 years old. I've got my entire life ahead of me, adventures waiting. I can't settle down yet.我没办法这么做。我真的不能，我还没准备好要结婚。我当时在想什么？我才35岁，我的整个人生都摆在我面前，那些冒险还在等着我，我还不能安定下来。
B: What are you talking about? It wasn't more than a month ago that you were rambling on about how you're tired of living the life of a bachelor and how you envy your friends that have a family. 你在说什么？不到一个月前，你还在说你有多么厌倦单身的生活，多么羡慕那些有家庭的朋友。
A: I know, I know. 我知道，我知道。
B: Let's think this through. First of all, you cannot leave Amy at the alter. Not only will she be humiliated and kill you, but she's a woman that you love and woman of your dreams. Why would you want to end that or jeopardize it like this? Second of all, you are just getting cold feet. You know deep down inside that you want to marry her, so cut the crap and do it.我们再好好想想这个事情。首先，你不能让艾米留在婚礼上。不只是因为她会蒙羞，然后想杀了你。而是她是你爱的女人，也是你梦中的女孩。为什么你会想就这么结束它或者毁灭它呢？第二，你只是临阵退缩了，在你心里，你深深的知道你想娶她。所以废话少说，去吧。
A: You're right. I'm being crazy. Okay, I'm ready. Let's do this.你说的对，我疯了。好了，我准备好了，我们开始吧。
B: Great. Phew. That was a close one. You had me going there for a minute, I thought I was gonna have to slap some sense into you.太好了，松了一口气。太险了。你刚刚要是让我等一会，我想我会给你一巴掌打醒你。
