　　Derek: But he’s a really nice guy. He’s intelligent1 and has a great sense of humor.2 He’s a real prince!

青蛙或王子，你选哪一个？(2)

　　翻译

　　德里克正跟妹妹朱莉娅聊天。

　　德里克：那么，你认识我朋友保罗，对吗？

　　朱莉娅：是啊，我认识他。我希望你别再提他了。我不想跟他约会。

　　德里克：但他真的是个好人。他聪明，又很有幽默感。他是个真正的王子呢！

　　朱莉娅：他看起来更像一只青蛙，而不像个王子。不过，要是你想撮合我跟他哥哥格雷格的话……

　　德里克：格雷格？为什么你会想跟他约会呢？

　　朱莉娅：我为什么不呢？格雷格真的很帅。

　　德里克：朱莉娅，我想你没领会这个道理。

　　朱莉娅：真的？什么道理？

　　德里克：一个人的外表没那么重要。性格要重要的多。
