| Alex: | Shannon, I’m so excited about taking you to meet my parents. |
| Shannon: | You know that in Taiwan meeting the parents basically seals the deal, right? |
| Alex: | You mean if you took me to meet your parents,we’d have to get married? |
| Shannon: | Basically, yeah. |
| Alex: | Good thing it doesn’t work that way in America…. |
| Shannon: | No pressure, ha-ha. But I am looking forward to meeting the people who raised you. |
| Alex: | Oh, man—check out the news! There’s a huge storm coming. A1)hurricane! |
| Shannon: | Isn’t that just like a typhoon? We get those in Taiwan all the time. |

| 艾利克： | 香儂，我真是迫不及待要帶妳去見我父母。 |
| 香 儂： | 你知道在台灣去見父母基本上等於「成交」了，對吧？ |
| 艾利克： | 意思是如果妳帶我去見父母，我們就得結婚？ |
| 香 儂： | 差不多囉。 |
| 艾利克： | 還好在美國不興這一套……。 |
| 香 儂： | 不是在逼你，哈哈。但我很期待去看看把你撫養長大的人。 |
| 艾利克： | 喔，天啊—妳看一下新聞！有大暴風雨要來了。是颶風！ |
| 香 儂： | 那不就跟颱風一樣嗎？在台灣很稀鬆平常的。 |

| 好用句 | seal the deal 達成協議，完成交易 | |
|
| |
| |
seal 有「印章，蓋章」的意思，deal 則表示「交易，協定」。以前談成交易時需要蓋章，因此seal the deal 就表示生意談成，敲定交易。
A: Did you sign a contract?
你簽約了嗎？
B: No. We sealed the deal with a handshake.
沒有，我們握手成交。
