Betty:So everyone is happy except the insects.
貝蒂：因此，除了害蟲，皆大歡喜。
Winston:Right, and now this natural method of pest control is being copied all over the world.
溫斯頓：是的，現在這種自然控制害蟲的方法全世界的人都在效仿。
Betty:Interesting, but now I must go and...
貝蒂：真有趣，但是現在我得走了……
Winston:Wait! There's more. What is stronger than steel, lighter than a feather and as elastic as a rubber band?
溫斯頓：等等。還沒說完了。你知道什么比鋼鐵更堅固，比羽毛更輕，還像皮筋一樣有彈性嗎？
Betty:What?
貝蒂：是什么？
Winston:It's the silk the spiders make their webs with.
溫斯頓：正是蜘蛛用來織網的絲。
Winston:Scientists are trying to develop a material having similar properties.
溫斯頓：科學家們正在研制一種具有相似屬性的材料。
Winston:They plan to use it in spacecraft, artificial organs like hearts, and to make really bullet-proof vests.
溫斯頓：他們計劃把它用在太空船，用在像心臟這樣的人造器官上，用它來做防彈衣。
Betty:I still think spiders are nasty and should be killed. Their bites are dangerous, aren't they?
貝蒂：我仍然認為蜘蛛令人討厭，必須消滅蜘蛛。被它們咬會中毒，不是嗎？
Winston:To insects, yes, but to people, rarely. But even their poison is useful.
溫斯頓：對昆蟲來說的確如此，但對人來說卻很少。但正是毒液很有用。
Winston:Doctors think it might be used to treat brain disorders in humans.
溫斯頓：醫生認為毒液能用來治療人腦失調疾病。
Betty:That's good news for you, then. But seriously, I get your point, Winston.
貝蒂：那對你來說是一則好消息。但說真的，我明白你的意思了，溫斯頓。
Betty:We should try to understand things in nature and not destroy them.
貝蒂：我們應該設法去了解自然界的生物而不是去消滅它們。
