I'm just gonna go over and ask Andy if he'll float² us some cash³ till the holiday rush kicks in. 我这就过去问安迪借点钱周转，节日高峰期过后就能还他了。

While I'm gone, why don't you Wikipedia Kwanzaa? 我去的时候，你搜搜宽扎节摆饰吧。

Well... Here's the first eight. 好了，先上八个给你。

And how many cupcakes would you like "to go"? I'm thinking⁴ of a number between 40 and 50. 你还想外带多少个小蛋糕走呢？我觉得就来个40到50个吧。

Not all families are the same, Caroline. 有些家庭就不是这样呢，卡洛琳。

Besides, we're fine. The universe will provide. 而且，我们没事的。老天爷会照顾我们。

Well, the universe better provide in, like, a second, 'cause look, there's the landlord⁶. 那老天爷最好是这几秒内赶紧照顾我们啊，房东来了。

He just went into that Moroccan place. 他已经到斜对面摩洛哥店了。
