Edie，你可以无家可归，也可以穿着寒碜。如果两样兼备可够你受的。

EDIE: That reminds me. My insurance cheque still hasn't come yet. Can I stay with you for a few more weeks?

这提醒了我，我的保险支票还没到呢。我能在这多住几个星期吗？

MRS HUBER: Of course. What kind of Christian⁴ would I be if I denied shelter to a friend in need? Oh look, here's something we can salvage⁵, your measuring cup. We can just scrape⁶ off the burnt part and it'll look good as new.

当然，如果我帮助处在困境中的朋友，还算什么基督徒呢？哦，看这个，我们可以变废为宝。我们将烧坏的部分刮掉，就会和新的一样了。

EDIE: That's not my cup. Mine was plastic.

那不是我的杯子，我的是塑料制的。

MRS HUBER: Well, how did it get in here?

那它是怎么到这来的？

EDIE: I don't know. Who cares? Now would you put that down and start looking for jewellery?

我不知道。这有什么大不了的？现在你能把那玩意放下，然后开始找珠宝了吗？
