　　Oh! Our estate auction²? Yeah, I think I heard something about that. 我们的财产拍卖会吗？知道啊。我是有听说过

　　Great. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. 很好，那我们明天见。再见。

　　I'm not going. 我才不去

　　What? Why'd you say yes? 为什么？那你刚才还答应他？

　　Max, come on. It's really important to me that you meet my father. 求你了，麦克斯。你能跟我的父亲见面，对我来说很重要。

　　Well, you never met my father, and you don't see me dragging you to every railroad boxcar in the country trying to find him. 你也没见过我爹，我也没有拉着你试图去全国所有的货运火车上找他啊。

　　Come on, it's gonna be a really hard week for me. 求你了。这周我已经够不顺心了。

　　Has any week ever not been hard for you? 你有哪一周是顺心的吗？

　　Everything I've ever owned is being auctioned³ off to the public. I'm humiliated⁴. 我过去拥有的一切东西通通要被拿去拍卖给社会大众了。我颜面无存。

　　Would this be a bad time to tell you your one long face hair is back? 那想必现在不是个告诉你你那根超长脸毛又长出来的好时机？
