因为工作生活上的诸多问题,好久没更新了。现在慢慢重新开始,那就从美女律师烟绯开始吧。7月28日是烟绯的生日,来看看邮件吧。
When you used to come find me, I'd joke that you needed to make an appointment first. Now, it's my turn to book some of your time.
I remember you have plans to go to Fontaine, and today's the perfect opportunity for us to find a quiet place for me to tell you all about Fontaine's laws! It wouldn't do if you get careless once you get there, end up breaking some law, get arrested by the Maison Gardiennage, and then get sent to the Fortress of Meropide! Once that happens, even if you want me to be your attorney, it'll be too late, you know!
Though, on the other hand, you're usually pretty law-abiding, aren't you? Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing?
Anyway, just think of it as keeping me company. I've attached the deposit, so I'll be expecting you!
精读如下:
When you used to come find me, I'd joke that you needed to make an appointment first. Now, it's my turn to book some of your time.
之前你来找我,我总开玩笑让你先预约,这次轮到我来预约你的时间啦。
I remember you have plans to go to Fontaine, and today's the perfect opportunity for us to find a quiet place for me to tell you all about Fontaine's laws!
我记得你有去枫丹的打算,今晚机会正好,咱们找个清静些的地方,我来给你说说枫丹的律法。
It wouldn't do if you get careless once you get there, end up breaking some law, get arrested by the Maison Gardiennage, and then get sent to the Fortress of Meropide!
以免你去了枫丹之后,一不留神触犯了枫丹法律,被执律庭的人逮住送去梅洛彼得堡了。
Once that happens, even if you want me to be your attorney, it'll be too late, you know!
等到那时候再要我来做你的「代理人」,可就来不及喽。
Though, on the other hand, you're usually pretty law-abiding, aren't you? Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing?
转念想想,你应该还挺遵纪守法的吧?会不会是我杞人忧天了呢?
Anyway, just think of it as keeping me company. I've attached the deposit, so I'll be expecting you!
总之,随信附上「定金」,就当陪我聊天也好,你可一定要来啊。

闲聊:
放在最后,想随便写写身边发生的事,然后记住几个单词。
我在杭州,最近最大型的活动就是亚运会了,虽然已经结束好几天了。家门口的比赛,却一张票都没买到,只能看看直播555。
but,我想聊的是奖牌榜。我看抖音上有些up把奖牌榜说成medal tally,而亚运官方网站的翻译是medal table。
tally:a record of the number or amount of sth, especially one that you can keep adding to 记录;积分表;账
table:a list of facts or numbers arranged in a special order, usually in rows and columns 表;一览表
差不多。
