K:Where did you hear that saying?
凱西：你在哪里聽到這句諺語的?
E:I read it in a book somewhere. It's a very interesting proverb. Nothing lasts forever, does it?
艾凡：我在某處的一本書上看過這句話。那是一句很有趣的成語。任何事物都不能永久持續(xù)下去，是不是?
K:Well, I suppose true love does.
凱西：不過，我認為真愛能永恒持續(xù)。

K:Well, I have.
凱西：嗯，我有。
E:Oh? When was that?
艾凡：哦?那是什么時候的事呢?
K:In high school. But I guess that was just puppy love. It didn't last.
凱西：在高中的時候。但是我想那只是少男少女間不成熟的迷戀罷了。那段愛情沒有持續(xù)下去。
E:Anyway, I've really enjoyed traveling in Europe with you, Kathy. You're a great partner. You don't complain much, your habits are OK, and you have a great sense of humor.
艾凡：不管怎樣，凱西，和你同游歐洲我真的很快樂。你是一個很棒的游伴。不怎么會抱怨、你的習慣還好，而且很有幽默感。
