Is it that truck? Nope. 是那台卡车吗？不是。

Is it boring? Yes! My turn. I spy something annoying. 是"无聊"吗，是的！换我出题。猜猜我看到了什么烦人东西。

Maybe the B.S. stands for "Big sale." 人家可能不是胡扯，是胡买呢。

No more business calls, okay? I thought we were getting away for fun. 别再接公事电话了，好吗？我们来度假不是为了放松吗。

We are, but our business is nowhere near where we need it to be, 是啊，但我们的生意离我们预期目标差了十万八千里，

Max, there's no such thing as an extraterrestrial. 麦克斯，"天外来客"只是无稽之谈。

Okay, first, that's something an extraterrestrial would say. 真正的"天外来客"就会这么说。
