Wendi: OK, so the next thing was when I was young, I used to watch this TV program. It was called the "Wonder Years". And I had such a crush on that kid Fred.

溫迪：我小的時候看過《純真年代》這部電視劇。當時我非常喜歡演孩子的弗萊德。

Ken: Fred Savage was it?

肯：是弗萊德·薩維奇嗎？

Wendi: Yeah, yeah, Fred Savage. What was his name in that show?

溫迪：對，弗萊德·薩維奇。他在戲裏面叫什麼？

Ken: I actually never really watched that show. No, I've seen a couple of reruns.

肯：其實我沒怎麼看過那部劇。不對，我看過幾次重播。

Wendi: I know he had a crush on some girl names Wendi but I can't recall what his name was, but I has such a huge mad crush on him.

溫迪：我記得他很喜歡名字是溫迪的女孩，不過我想不起來他在戲裏的名字了，我當時真的非常喜歡他。

Ken: It's that show with the little kid, but like someone else, like the adult's like recounting his childhood.

肯：那是一部講述一個孩子成長的故事，裏面是主角成年以後對自己童年時期進行的回憶。

Wendi: Yeah, I think so.

溫迪：對，是這樣的。

Ken: Like there's a narrator in the back.

肯：電視劇中有旁白。

Wendi: I think so. Yeah. I think so. But then, that whole thing just broke down when I saw Austin Powers, and "Mole, Mole, Mole, Mole".

溫迪：是的，對。我記得也是。可是在我看了他出演的《王牌大賤諜》之後一切都結束了。

Ken: Was that him?

肯：那是他嗎？

Wendi: Yeah.

溫迪：對。

Ken: That was him?

肯：真的是他？

Wendi: It's the same guy and he's an adult and he's not attractive or cute whatsoever and so I just feel really betrayed. OK, so I told you about an actor I had a crush on when I was young. So what show did you grow up on that you totally had a crush on — one of the actresses?

溫迪：對，是他，成年後的他不再那麼吸引人，也不再可愛，我有種被背叛的感覺。我剛告訴了你我小時候喜歡的演員。你小時候有沒有非常喜歡的節目和女演員？

Ken: Unfortunately. Unfortunately, I was banned from watching TV as a child.

肯：不幸的是，我小時候家裏不讓我看電視。

Wendi: Are you serious?

Ken: Yeah, so.

肯：對。

Wendi: Were you really?

溫迪：真的？

Ken: I did not grow up watching TV. Yeah. I was not raised on TV.

肯：小時候不能看電視。我不是看着電視長大的。

Wendi: You weren't raised on TV at all?

溫迪：你小時候完全不能看電視嗎？

Ken: Not at all.

肯：對，完全不能看。

Wendi: So, were taking Monday to Friday, no TV?

溫迪：週一至週五不能看電視？

Ken: I'm talking I had to, like while my mom was cooking dinner, I could like turn the volume really low on a nine inch black and white TV and maybe catch five minutes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or something.

肯：我媽媽做晚飯的時候，我可以把那臺九英寸黑白電視的音量調低，大概能看五分鐘的《忍者神龜》或其他節目。

Wendi: Are you serious?

溫迪：你說真的嗎？

Ken: That's how bad it was.

肯：真實情況就是這麼糟。

Wendi: That's shocking.

溫迪：這太令人震驚了。

Ken: That is, yeah.

肯：是這樣的。

Wendi: Yeah, so then at like what age did you, because you know how to work a computer quite well, when did you learn all this stuff?

溫迪：你什麼時候開始……你擅長電腦操作，你是什麼時候開始學習這些的？

Ken: I guess once my brother and sister started growing up, then my mom, you know, let me have a little bit more freedom.

肯：我的兄弟姐妹漸漸長大以後，我媽媽就給了我一定的自由。

Wendi: Yeah. Yeah.

溫迪：嗯。

Wendi: Yeah.

溫迪：好。
