Wang Fei: In a jiffy. 那么 in a jiffy 也是“片刻”的意思是不是?!但是什么是 jiffy 呢?
William: Well, you know what, Wang Fei? Nobody is completely sure of the origin of this word. But it has been in use for over 200 years!
Wang Fei,沒人能確定這個詞的起源,但是這么用已經200多年了。
Wang Fei: 200 years! That's quite a long time. More than a jiffy!
200年,真長。比“片刻”長多了。
William: Yes, and that's several billion shakes of a lamb's tail.
是的,那得要幾十億次羊尾巴。
Wang Fei: Yes and all those ticks of a clock! Bye for now.
William: Bye bye.
