（单词翻译）

 　　When I first met Lance, I thought he was the perfect guy. He was a real gentleman. He opened doors for me and pulled out my chair in restaurants. He was as chivalrous1 as they come. But after a while, I realized that he took chivalry2 a little too far.

　　...
　　Lance: Let me carry that box for you.
　　Guinevere: No, that’s okay. It’s not heavy.
　　Lance: It doesn’t matter. I’m your boyfriend and I can’t have you carrying a box when my hands are free.
　　Guinevere: Is that some kind of code of conduct I don’t know about?
　　Lance: It’s how a knight3 would treat his lady.
　　Guinevere: That’s nice, but I’m perfectly4 capable of carrying my own box, thank you.
　　Lance: Don’t argue. It’s my duty to show every courtesy to my girlfriend, so give me that box.
　　Guinevere: Are you saying that your code of conduct takes precedence over my preferences?
　　Lance: No, I’m just telling you that my job is to help and protect you, even if it’s against your will.
　　...
　　How can you argue with that logic5?
