Not so much Shakespeare as Jello¹. 比起莎士比亚来，你更喜欢果冻。

Was my first word really "Latte"? 我说的第一个词真的是"拿铁"吗？

I wasn't deterred². I knew Lily had what it took to be a great clown. 我并没有灰心。我知道莉莉拥有成为优秀小丑的天份。

I mean...She just needed to find her persona, and that process can be painful, especially for me. 还用问吗？她只是需要找到适合自己的形象，过程可能会很痛苦，尤其对我来说。

Ohh, Lily! 莉莉！

Good morning, neighbors. 早安，邻居们。

Beautiful day, huh? 天气真好，不是吗？

Don't even try to sweet-talk us. This tacky boat ain't going anywhere. 嘴里抹了蜜也没用。这艘俗船哪里也不会去。
