Brian: I got the pic, u brother looks like one person
Nikky: ELVIS?
Brian: yeah, The late(去世的) rock and roller
【注】late这个词除了一般意思以外,还可以用在过世的人的名字前面,记忆里前总统Clinton来华访问时曾说过一句(the late Dengxiaoping tell us to seek truth from facts/已经逝世的邓小平先生生前告诉我们要实事求是)
Nikky: his whiskers(洛腮胡子) made him that way
Brian: no, a lot of people got the whiskers, but few like him
Nikky: u look good too, brian
Brian: flattered, but I like
Nikky: still remember last year when I toured Graceland, the hometown of the King (Graceland是猫王的故乡)
Brian: how is that like, I know he is so famous and household
Nikky: like what?
Brian: I mean in Graceland, are there many people to visit? (参观的人多么?)
Nikky: second most visited home after the white house (参观人数仅次于美国白宫)
【注】不知道nikky有没有夸大这个事实,么多人对猫王感兴趣么?
Brian: have u ever been to the white house, I mean just for tour?
Nikky: no, I haven't been to Washington, neither do I want to
Brian: o, when did u go to Graceland?
Nikky: last July
Brian: why July, is there a reason in it?
Nikky: normally, people went there in August because he died in August, but to avoid the too many people season, I went there a month earlier only to find that still a lot of people come from everywhere in the world
【注】由于猫王是在8月去世的,所以世界各地的歌迷都在8月去Graceland悼念这位英年早逝的英雄人物,nikky想赶在8月之前去以避免高峰期,但是没有料到人还是一样的多。
