Jennifer: This year I'm going to get him a gag gift.

今年我要送他个搞笑的礼物。

Billy: Cool! That's a great idea. What did you have in mind?

酷！好主意。你想送什么？

Jennifer: Well, we have a tradition in my family...

我们家族有个传统……

Billy: Don't tell me: socks.

别说是：袜子。

Jennifer: No, ties. And there's a tie store. Let's go!

不，是领带。那里有家领带店。走！

Billy: That is the most boring, typical gift in the world!

领带是世界上最乏味、最刻板的礼物！

Jennifer: I know. But this year I want to get him an interesting tie. Like this one.

我知道。但是今年我要送他一条有趣的领带。像这条。

Billy: That's not exactly a conversation piece. It's so plain.

Jennifer: It's perfect! It's a Dilbert tie!

它很完美！这是条呆伯特领带！

Billy: The diagonal black and red stripes are really conservative though...

但黑色和红色相间的斜纹还真是保守……

Jennifer: But watch this...it bends upwards, just like Dilbert's tie. There's a wire inside.

可是你看好喔……这可以向前翘起来，就像是漫画里呆伯特的那条领带。里面有铁丝。

Billy: A fly-away tie! What a riot!

一条飞行领带！炫！
