brian: the weather is just so great today! do you have a right idea for what we can do?
dario: you're so right, brian! the day is too good to waste sitting indoors.
brian: let's go down to the supermarket, get some food and go and sit in the park and practice our english.
dario: sounds like a great idea. only one small problem, though.
brian: what's that?
dario: no cash! no mean-green! no bills!
brian: that's actually not a small problem, dario!
dario: maybe we can just go and sit in the park and chat anyway?
brian: sounds fine to me, but i know i will get hungry later.
dario: we will cross that bridge when we come to it brian.
布萊恩：今天的天氣就是好！我們能去做什么，你有什么好主意嗎？

布萊恩：我們?nèi)コ邪?，買點(diǎn)吃的，然后去公園里坐著練習(xí)英語。
達(dá)里奧：聽起來像是個(gè)很棒的主意。不過有個(gè)小問題。
布萊恩：什么問題！
達(dá)里奧：沒有現(xiàn)金！沒有綠票子！沒有錢！
布萊恩：實(shí)際上那不是個(gè)小問題，達(dá)里奧！
達(dá)里奧：不管怎樣，也許我們可以只去公園里坐坐，聊聊天？
布萊恩：我沒意見，不過我知道過會(huì)兒我會(huì)餓的。
達(dá)里奧：船到橋頭自然直，布萊恩。
