Acheng:Sounds like an Italian name with an “i”at the end.

Sophia: Admit it. You just think of Mussolini.

Acheng: No, I'm an art lover, so I think more of Bellini and Botticelli!

Sophia: Ah, yes. The Italians do love the sensual forms of the human body.

Acheng:Don't we all...hey! Your cousin sells gift items?

Sophia: Yeah-all from Italy. See all the saints? They're important to Roman Catholics.

阿　震：聽起來應該是一個「尼」結(jié)尾的意大利名字。

蘇菲亞：承認吧，你剛剛聯(lián)想到墨索里尼。

阿　震：不，我是個藝術(shù)愛好者。我比較會聯(lián)想到貝里尼跟波底迦里!

蘇菲亞：對。意大利人的確喜歡滿足感官刺激的人體。

阿　震：誰不是呀……嘿!你表妹賣禮品嗎?

蘇菲亞：是啊——全是意大利貨。看到這些圣徒嗎?他們對天主教來說非常重要
