3 weeks ago, our neighbours, the Rand's lost their house and everything they own in a fire. Fortunately nobody was hurt. 3个星期前，我们的邻居兰德家在一场大火中失去了房子和一切。幸运的是没人受伤。

And fortunately, their friends, was wonder woman, over here. 更幸运的是，有他们的朋友就是我身边这位神奇女侠。

I'm hardly wonder woman. 我可不是神奇女侠。

She mobilized² the community to donate clothes, furniture, appliances. All to help them start over in their new rental³. 她动员了整个街区为他们捐赠衣服、家具以及日常用品。以助他们开始在新家的生活。

but it was the only structure to survive the fire. 但那是火灾中唯一幸存的东西了。

Por favor, don't even say that word! In my country it is considered very, very bad luck when your house burns down. 上帝啊，不要提"火"那个词！在我们国家，如果房子被烧毁那就意味着背到极点。

They lived a block away from us. Smoke was everywhere. I was so upset, I couldn't sleep for days. 他们离我们就一个街区远。到处都是烟雾。我很难过，好几天都没睡。

Of course, Mitchell won't let me take anything. 当然，米奇尔也不准我吃药。

Well, Cam, we both know why. 小卡，我们都知道原因吧。

Dad, you're gonna kill yourself. I got it! 老爸，你是在要自己的老命啊。我能行！

We're on a schedule here. I still have to pick up the truck. 我们还有安排。我还得去把卡车开过来。

If you want him to stop lifting things, put all this in grocery bags and turn the TV on to a football game. 如果你不想让他搬东西，就都放进杂物袋里，然后把电视调到橄榄球频道。

Oh! Take this phone away from me! -Why? 把电话从我身上拿走！-怎么了？

Two of our best brokers⁴ left to start their own agency, and the office gossip⁵ is flying. 我们公司最棒的两个经纪人另起炉灶了，办公室流言蜚语四起。

But I want today to be about the Rands, and if I have this-- oh, my god! 我今天只想关注兰德一家的事，一旦我开始听电话，哦，上帝啊！

Those guys took two secretaries and the tube dude with them! 那两个家伙还带走了两个秘书和管子兄！

Who's the tube dude? 管子兄是谁？

Hi, hi, sorry. We would have been here sooner, but this one had a wardrobe crisis⁶. You know, it's a somber⁷ occasion, and all my tops are too joyful⁸. 抱歉。我们本该早些到的，可我老公出门前不停换衣服。那可是个很严肃的场合，而我的上衣都太喜庆了。
