羅布：大家好！今天是圣誕節！
Helen: Hello Rob!
海倫：你好，羅布！
Rob: Hello Helen! Happy Christmas!
羅布：你好，海倫！圣誕快樂！
Helen: Happy Christmas!
海倫：圣誕快樂！
Rob: Come in, come in!
羅布：請進，請進！
Helen: Thank you.
海倫：謝謝你。
Helen: Wowwwwwwwwww!
海倫：哇！
Rob: So, what do you think?
羅布：你覺得怎么樣？
Helen: That's amazing.... so many decorations - and what a beautiful Christmas tree! You must have spent ages doing this! It's beautiful!
海倫：這真不可思議……這么多裝飾，這圣誕樹太漂亮了！準備這些你一定花了很長時間吧！它真漂亮！
Rob: Well I do like to do Christmas with all the trimmings!
羅布：我非常喜歡用各種配飾來裝點圣誕節！
Helen: All the trimmings? I don't understand.
海倫：所有的飾物！我不明白。
Rob: All the trimmings–it means all the extra things that traditionally come with something to make it more special.
羅布：All the trimmings的意思是和某樣東西搭配的額外的東西，會使那個東西更加特別。
Helen: I see. Like all these decorations?
海倫：我明白了。就像所有的這些裝飾品？
Rob: Yes. In my family, we have always had Christmas with all the trimmings, so we have a Christmas tree, decorations, gifts, Christmas songs, silly Christmas games and, most importantly, Christmas lunch. Now, come this way!
羅布：對，我家經常會用各種配飾來裝飾圣誕節，所以我們有圣誕樹、裝飾品、禮物、圣誕歌曲、愚蠢的圣誕游戲，最重要的是，我們有圣誕午餐。現在，過來這邊吧！
Helen: Roast turkey for lunch!
海倫：午餐吃烤雞！
Rob: Now that is a roast turkey with all the trimmings! Not only is it a turkey, but we're eating it with all the things you traditionally eat with Christmas roast turkey: cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, gravy, stuffing, carrots-
羅布：是烤雞和其他的配菜！并不是僅僅有烤雞，還有我們通常在圣誕節會和烤雞一起搭配吃的各種菜肴：蔓越橘醬、烤土豆、肉汁、餡料胡蘿卜……
Helen: Mmm, I'm very hungry now!
海倫：嗯，我現在非常餓！
Rob: All the trimmings!
羅布：所有的配菜！
Helen: I think I understand what 'all the trimmings' means now.
海倫：我想我現在明白這個短語的意思了。
Rob: It's an expression usually used with food, especially at Christmas and for the big roast dinners that we like to eat here in Britain. I adore Sunday lunch with all the trimmings: roast meat, along with lots of vegetables and sauces and other traditional accompaniments. Mmmmm....
羅布：這個短語通常和食物一起使用，尤其是像我們英國在圣誕節吃燒烤晚餐時會使用的短語。我喜歡有各種配菜的周日午餐：有烤肉、還有許多蔬菜和醬汁，還有其他的傳統配餐。嗯……
Helen: Yummy!
海倫：好吃！
Rob: But you can also use this expression in other situations:
羅布：不過這個短語也可以用在其他場合：

When I get married, I want a perfect wedding with all the trimmings.
