Jim: You know that religion is a taboo subject, especially with Paul. Why were you baiting him all through dinner?
吉姆：你知道的，宗教是禁忌話題，尤其是對保羅而言。你為何在晚餐時一直逗他？
Tammy: I wasn’t baiting him. We have very different views on spirituality and I wanted to discuss the subject with him.
塔米：我不是逗他。我們這是對精神世界有不同的見解而已，我只是想跟他探討一下。
Jim: You were making disparaging remarks about his faith and some of the things he holds most sacred. I think you were trying to be provocative.
吉姆：你在出言中傷他的信仰以及他最敬畏的東西。我認為你這就是在挑釁。
Tammy: I may have said a few things that were provocative, but I don’t understand how people can believe in superstitions.
塔米：或許我的某些話有點偏激，可我就是不理解人們怎么會相信迷信。
Jim: There you go again! People’s religious beliefs shouldn’t be called superstitions.
吉姆：你又來了！別人的宗教信仰怎么能被稱作迷信。
Tammy: I’m just calling it like I see it. I didn’t know you were such a fundamentalist.
塔米：因為我看到的就是這樣。原來你是個原教旨主義者。
Jim: I’m not a fundamentalist. In fact, I’m an atheist, or at least an agnostic, but I still try to show respect for other people’s beliefs.
吉姆：我不是原教旨主義者。事實上，我是無神論者，或者說至少是個不可知論者，但是我還是會盡量尊重別人的宗教信仰。
Tammy: Beliefs are made to be challenged. If you can’t defend your beliefs, you shouldn’t have them.
塔米：宗教信仰本就應該接受挑戰。如果你捍衛不了自己的信仰，那你有什么資格信奉它們。
Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, behold the voice of tolerance.
吉姆：女士們，先生們，聽聽他這自由主義的聲音。
