（单词翻译）

Singing Christmas Carols 

Andrea: What are you doing? 

Stephanie: I’m coming up with a list of Christmas carols to sing when we go caroling. 

Andrea: Can I come? 

Stephanie: Uh, I don’t think... 

Andrea: What? You don’t think I can sing in tune¹? 

Stephanie: No, it’s not that... 

Andrea: You think I’m going to forget the lyrics²? 

Stephanie: No, it’s not that either... 

Andrea: I know what it is. You think I’m too good. I’ll outshine the other singers. Don’t worry. I don’t mind hiding my light under a bushel, just this once. 

Stephanie: Well, it’s not that either. I just don’t think you’re a good fit for our group. 

Andrea: Not a good fit? I’m very knowledgeable³ about music and know all of the traditional carols. I’ve even composed some original ones that you might consider adding to your list. 

Stephanie: I know you’re very knowledgeable about music, but in our group, it’s all about the singing voice. 

Andrea: What’s wrong with my singing voice? Listen to this [sung loudly and poorly]: “Jingle⁴ bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...”
