Kadir: Stop that! Stop snickering! Gabriel Voltaire is an author of great acclaim. You shouldshow a little reverence.

別這樣!停止竊笑!Gabriel Voltaire是大獲好評(píng)的作者。你應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的崇敬之情。

Melissa: Yes, but he seems to have a bad case of stage fright. I know it’s an honor to hear himspeak, but it’s hard to show reverence when the man is sweating like a pig!

梅利莎：是的，但他似乎會(huì)怯場(chǎng)。我知道這是一種榮譽(yù)，聽到他的發(fā)言是種榮幸，但是看他緊張得渾身冒冷汗我就很難表現(xiàn)出尊敬了!

Kadir: He’s not sweating like a pig. He’s just talking passionately about his writing. I, for one,appreciate his level of dedication to his work.

他不是渾身汗。他只是在激情地談?wù)撍膶懽?。?duì)我來說，欣賞他的工作的奉獻(xiàn)水平。
