　　马克：哇塞，我要流口水啦。自从今天下班回到家我就一直想吃东西来着。
　　Jingjing: Face it, you can't get food off your mind, Mark. Everyday you get home from work it's the same old story: you want me to get in the kitchen and fix you something to eat.
　　京晶：承认吧，马克，你脑子里天天就想着吃东西的事。你每天下班回家都一样：想要我去厨房给你弄点儿什么吃的。
　　Mark: Come on, do you really expect me to cook some food? My cooking is dangerous, you know that. You've tried it before! Besides, I think women should do the cooking, not men!
　　马克：拜托，难道你真的希望我去煮饭吃吗？我的厨艺太糟糕了，你知道的。你不是已经尝试过了吗？而且，我认为做饭是女人应该做的事，不是男人该做的！
　　Jingjing: That's bull 4! Just because you're a guy and I'm a girl doesn't mean that I have to do the cooking! I've had it up to here with you! From now on, I think you should cook for me. If you think it's so easy, then you try it!
　　京晶：胡说！就因为你是男的我是女的，我就得去做饭吗？我受够了！从现在开始，你要给我做饭。如果你觉得做饭那么容易的话，那你试试吧！
　　Mark: Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Tomorrow I'll make dinner for you.
　　马克：好吧，好吧。对不起，明天我会给你做饭的。
