210.Wishing for a Vacation
210.希望度假
C'mon, Rich. Let me help take your mind off school! Shelly said, as she switched off the table lamp and moved closer to Howard. "Take a break!"
“來吧,里奇,讓我幫你暫時忘記學校里的事!”謝莉說,她把臺燈關掉,靠近霍華德。“休息一下吧!”
Howard switched the light back on.
霍華德又把燈打開了。
Shelly, he said to her with a frown. "I took a few extra electives this semester so that I would be finished earlier with my studies. I can't take a chance of failing even one! And you know I'm swimming against the tide in a couple of them."
“謝莉,”他皺著眉頭對她說,“這學期我多學了一些選修課,這樣我就能早點畢業。我可不能冒險考砸哪怕是一門課!而且你知道有幾門課我想不隨大流。”

I know, Shelly said as she moved back to her side of the couch. "And I was the one who told you to take the course on designing with synthetic fabrics. I know you hate that class. I just don't like being alone all the time and having our love life take a back seat to school! It makes me want to cry sometimes!"
“我知道,”謝莉說,她回到沙發自己那一邊。“是我叫你學習合成纖維布設計課程的。我知道你不喜歡這門課程。我只是不想老一個人呆著,不想我們的戀愛生活跟學習相比處于次要地位!我有時候直想哭!”
Oh, honey. Don't take such a dim view of things! Rich said softly as he put his arm around Shelly. "And I'm sorry if I take the stress out on you sometimes! But next year I'll be done with all of this and we'll be able to take a leaf out of your books and spend a month on an island vacadon!"
“啊,親愛的。看事情別那么悲觀!”里奇柔聲說道,他用手抱住謝莉。“如果我有時把壓力發泄在你身上,我向你道歉!可是明年我就徹底解放啦,我們就可以以你為榜樣去島上度一個月的假!”
Oh, Rich, really? Shelly said. "I can't wait! An island vacation is synonymous with romance and love! I wish we could go now!"
“噢,里奇,是真的嗎?”謝莉說。“我都等不及了!島上度假是浪漫和愛情的同義詞!真希望我們現在就能去!”
Me too! Rich answered. "But I have to take these tests seriously before we can go. Now get up and please go get some table salt for me—these French fries you made are a little too bland."
“我也一樣!”里奇回答道。“可是在我們能夠去之前,我得認真對待這些考試。你起來去給我拿點佐餐鹽來—你做的這些法國油炸土豆太淡了。”
Okay.
“遵命。”
