Debbie: Okay, I’m off. I’ll be back around eight o’clock.
黛比:好,我走了,大概八點(diǎn)左右回來(lái)。
Marcelo: Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?
馬塞洛:嘿,這么急匆匆的要去哪兒?
Debbie: I’m going to my religious education class.
黛比:我要去上宗教課程。
Marcelo: Religious education class? What’s that about?
馬塞洛:宗教課程?是關(guān)于什么的?
Debbie: Well, I’ve decided to convert to McQuillanism.
黛比:呃,我決定轉(zhuǎn)信仰麥克奎藍(lán)教義。
Marcelo: I’m not familiar with that denomination. It is Christian, isn’t it?
馬塞洛:我不熟悉那個(gè)教派,是基督教嗎?
Debbie: No, it isn’t, but there are some similarities in the spiritual teachings between McQuillanism and Christianity, but we have different ways of worshiping – different prayers, hymns, and rituals.
黛比:不是,但是麥克奎藍(lán)教義跟基督教義在精神教誨方面有些相似處。
Marcelo: It doesn’t sound legit. Are you sure McQuillanism isn’t really a cult?
馬塞洛:聽(tīng)起來(lái)不是很正統(tǒng),你確定麥克奎藍(lán)教不是邪教?
Debbie: Of course not. My spiritual leader has been tutoring me on the tenets of the faith so I understand it, but I can see why you’d question it, since you don’t know anything about it.
黛比:當(dāng)然不是,我的精神領(lǐng)袖教導(dǎo)我一些信條和教義,因此,我理解。但是我明白你為什么會(huì)有疑問(wèn),因?yàn)槟銓?duì)其一無(wú)所知。
Marcelo: Well, as long as you’re satisfied.
馬塞洛:好吧,只要你確信就好。
Debbie: I am and I can’t wait to become a full- fledged McQuillanite. McQuillanism is a little unconventional, but we take our faith very seriously.
黛比:我當(dāng)然確定,并且已經(jīng)等不及要成為一個(gè)完全的麥克奎藍(lán)教徒。麥克奎藍(lán)教義有一點(diǎn)標(biāo)新立異,但是我們的信仰很嚴(yán)肅。
Marcelo: Have it your way. What’s that you’re carrying?
馬塞洛:你按你的想法做事,你拿的什么?
Debbie: It’s a cat costume. As I said, we do things a little differently.
黛比:一套貓樣子的戲服,我說(shuō)了,我們做的事有一點(diǎn)不同。
Marcelo: I’m sorry I asked.
馬塞洛:對(duì)不起,我問(wèn)多了。
Debbie: Okay, I’m off. I’ll be back around eight o’clock.
Marcelo: Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?
Debbie: I’m going to my religious education class.
Marcelo: Religious education class? What’s that about?
Debbie: Well, I’ve decided to convert to McQuillanism.
