Hilary: I agree, but do you think our enemies will agree to a truce?

希拉里：我同意，但是你覺(jué)得我們的敵人會(huì)同意停戰(zhàn)協(xié)定嗎?

希拉里：我不想覺(jué)得敵方同意停戰(zhàn)的條件。這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)持續(xù)的時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)了。

希拉里：如果你要是這么覺(jué)得的話，我們就這樣做吧。這場(chǎng)和鄰國(guó)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)持續(xù)的時(shí)間越來(lái)越長(zhǎng)了。誰(shuí)通知他們停戰(zhàn)呢，你去還是我去?

Vladimir: I’ll take it, but first I’ll make sure their ugly, dirty, mean barking dog that wakes me up in the middle of the night is tied up. I don’t want to become a casualty while bringing them this peace offering!

弗拉基米爾：我去吧，但是首先要確定他們的在半夜把我吵醒的又丑又臟的狗拴住了。我可不想成為給他們帶來(lái)和平的犧牲品。
