To paint the town red
Will: Hello! I'm Will. It's Friday night - time to have fun! This is the Burning Swan - my favourite pub.
大家好！我是Will。现在是周五的晚上，轻松时间。 我现在我最爱的酒吧Burning Swan。
I'm just waiting for Li. Oh there she is. My goodness! What is she wearing this time? Li: Hi Will.
我在等Li。呀，她来了。 我的老天，她这次穿的什么呀？ 嗨，Will。
Will: Hi Li! Nice... blue overalls! Li: Thank you, these are new overalls, I bought them especially for tonight.
嗨，Li很好看的（准备称赞Li的打扮，但是）蓝色工作装啊！ 谢谢！这可是新的工作服哦。我特意为今晚买的。
Will: Right. Okay. Li, I don't really follow fashion, but in London at least, denim overalls are really just for builders and painters and carpenters. Li: Yes! Right, where do we start, Will?
好吧。额,Li，我并不怎么了解潮流，但是至少在伦敦，牛仔工作服的的确确是建筑工或者油漆工和木工的专属啊。 是啊。我们从哪里开始呢，Will。
Will: Eh? What? What are you doing?
呃？什么？你在干嘛？
Li: It's definitely very dull in here. Will: Why have you got a can of paint? Li: That wall especially. Shall we?
对呀，这里面颜色是很暗啊。 你干嘛带着一罐油漆？ 尤其是那堵墙！可以开始了吧？
Will: Li? What are you doing? She's finally gone mad. Li!
Li，你在干嘛？终于是脑子出毛病了！Li!
Li: What's the matter?
怎么了？
Will: Look, you can't just walk into places and start repainting their walls! Don't! I love that brown colour! Li: Didn't you want it to be red?
听着，你不能走进任何地方就开始重新粉刷人家的墙壁。 别动！我爱那种棕色。 难道你不是想让它变红色的吗？
Will: No! No-one wants it to be red! Li: But you said that tonight we'd paint the town red - starting with this pub! Will: It's an expression!
没有啊。没有人想让它变红色！ 但是你说了今晚我们去把镇子刷成红色的——从这个酒吧开始！ 那是个表达而已！
Li: Not again! Will: It means that we'll go out and have a really exciting, crazy time. We'll paint the town red - it just means we'll have fun, not actually paint things. Let's listen to some examples.
又是这样！ 指的是，我们出去玩儿个够本！ We'll paint the town red——指的是我们要出去狂欢，而不是去粉刷什么东西。 来听一些例句。
It's my daughter's birthday today. She's gone out with her friends. I expect they'll paint the town red!
今天是我女儿的生日。她跟朋友出去了。我希望她们能玩儿开心！
Go on, come out with me tonight, let's paint the town red! We had a crazy night on Saturday, we painted the town red. Li: So now, Will, tell me about all this crazy fun we're meant to have. What's your idea of painting the town red?
来吧。今晚跟我出去。我们去狂欢！ 周六晚上很疯狂。我们都玩儿疯了！ 那，Will，现在你就告诉我，我们要怎么狂欢？ 你想怎么疯玩儿呢？
Will: Well we drink, we dance, we laugh loudly, we meet people, we stay up all night.
呃，喝酒啊，跳舞啊，大笑啊，认识朋友，玩儿个通宵达旦。
Li: Hmm. I'd still rather just paint. Let's just do this one wall. Will: No, Li, stop, stop we'll get arrested.
嗯，我还是刷油漆吧。 不要，Li。助手！我们会被抓的！
Li: Isn't that colour so much better? Will: No! No! Look, stop it! You'll ruin our night out! Li: It's beautiful! Will: Li! Stop!
难道这种颜色不是更好看了很多吗？ 才没有！不要！助手！Li!你会把我们的这个晚上全毁掉的！ 真漂亮！ Li,助手！
