干这件荒谬的事 把茶包浸到
the ridiculous business of dunking it
这马尿里边
in the lukewarm piss

诺曼

我知道现在会员越来越少 经济不太景气 可是
I know the membership's dropping, times are tight, but...

一位皇后与她的大象十分亲密
One Queen was so close to her elephant
以至于当她过世后 那头大象
that when she passed away, the elephant
在她的墓前守了三天
stood beside her tomb for three days
接着便抑郁而终
before dying of grief.
我们应该都感受过这样的爱
We should all know such love,
只是不一定是从大象身上
just not necessarily from an elephant.
有时候他们的确是不胜任
And sometimes they're right, they can't.
