Ivy: This is so sad!

艾維：這消息太讓你難過了!

Stephan: What is?

史蒂芬：什么消息?

Ivy: I’m reading the obituary for one of my favorite actors as a child, Mr. McBoo. He had quite a life.

艾維：我正在讀我孩童時最喜歡的一個演員McBoo的訃告。他的一生不平凡。

Stephan: Oh, yeah?

史蒂芬：哦，是嗎?

Ivy: Yeah, and this article has really done him justice. It’s a nice tribute to a man who touched so many lives. It says here that he’s survived by his wife and five children.

艾維：是的，這篇文章對他進(jìn)行了真實(shí)的評價。這是對曾經(jīng)觸動過那么多人的演員的很好的悼念方式。文章中說他去世后留下妻子和五個孩子。

Stephan: Did he live to a ripe old age?

史蒂芬：他活到高齡?

Ivy: He was 97 when he died. There’ll be a memorial service and funeral for him this Saturday. I think I’ll send some flowers.

艾維：他去世時享年97歲。這周六會舉行相關(guān)的紀(jì)念活動和他的葬禮。我想我會去送花。

Stephan: Really? You didn’t know him personally, did you?

史蒂芬：真的?你本人并沒有見過他，是吧?

Ivy: No, but it would be nice to be part of the funeral, in some small way. I wonder who’ll be giving the eulogies. I’m sure it’ll be somebody important.

艾維：沒有，但是能參加他的葬禮也不錯。我想知道誰讀悼文?？隙ㄊ悄澄恢匾娜宋铩?/p>

Stephan: If you say so. I’ve never heard of him. Was he on a children’s show, or something?

史蒂芬：這么說的話，我還從沒有聽說過他呢。他主持少兒節(jié)目，還是其他的節(jié)目?

Ivy: You’ve never heard of Mr. McBoo?! Were you raised in a cave?

艾維：你從未聽說過McBoo先生? 你是在山洞里長大的?

Stephan: Not quite. We didn’t have a TV in the home when I was growing up.

史蒂芬：不完全是，我小時候，家里并沒有電視。

Ivy: Oh, you poor, poor man. You’ve been deprived of Mr. McBoo all your life. Don’t worry. I’ll fix that. I have all of his shows, so we can have a viewing marathon this weekend.

艾維：啊，可憐的人呀!你的生活中竟然沒有接觸過McBoo先生。不過不用擔(dān)心，我會給你補(bǔ)上這一課的。我有他所有的節(jié)目表演，這周末我們可以盡情觀看。

Stephan: Lucky me.

史蒂芬：我真有幸。
