Vella: Well, I would love to become a Hollywood actress, but it might be too impossible so I would just try in Indonesia first, and maybe if I can go international, then that would be amazing.

維拉：我想成爲好萊塢演員，不過這可能遙不可及，所以我想先在印尼嘗試一下，也許我可以走向國際呢，要是那樣就太棒了。

維拉：我非常希望有機會能見到他，我想和他一起跳舞。

Daniel: OK.

丹尼爾：好。

Daniel: Wow, why?

丹尼爾：哇哦，爲什麼？

維拉：最好是一個女孩一個男孩……

Daniel: Why?

丹尼爾：爲什麼？

Vella: I don't know.

維拉：我也不知道。

Daniel: Oh, it sounds, it sounds really fun.

丹尼爾：哦，這聽起來很有趣。

Vella: Because no one in my family, you know, has twins, so I think it would be cool to be the first one to have twins.

維拉：我家裏沒有人生雙胞胎，所以我想如果第一胎能生雙胞胎會很酷。

Daniel: But at the same time, it seems to me to be quite hard to raise like twins because everything comes double, you know.

丹尼爾：可是養雙胞胎非常難，因爲所有的東西都要準備雙份。

Vella: It's the same thing as having like two or three children, you know, you just get them at the same time.

維拉：這和養兩三個孩子一樣，只不過雙胞胎要同時買而已。

Daniel: That's why it's even harder because you have, I don't know, double expenses, double everything.

丹尼爾：所以會更難，因爲這樣花費也是雙倍的，一切都是雙倍的。

Vella: Yeah, well I'd just love to try having twins.

維拉：對，我們想盡量生雙胞胎。

Daniel: No, great, that sounds like a good plan. Thanks.

丹尼爾：好，聽起來是個不錯的計劃。謝謝你。
