杨: Hey, here is the invitation for Mary’s wedding.

嘿，给你Mary的婚礼请帖。

李: Oh my god! I must be crazy!

哦，我的天哪!我要疯了!

杨: What? Do you like her?

怎么了? 难道你爱她?

李: Are you joking? I only mean this is the third time that I receive such invitation this month.

你在开玩笑吗?我只是说这个月我已经收到3次请帖了。

杨: Wedding is a good thing. New couples want to share their happiness.

婚礼是开心的事情。新人们希望分享快乐。

李: I am also happy. The only sad thing is my pocket.

我很高兴。难过得只有我的口袋。

杨: Oh, you mean "red envelope".

哦，你说红包。

李: Yes. If I do not take one, I will feel embarrassed and the inviter would privately say that I have no idea about "gratitude".

对的。如果没带，我自己会觉得不好意思，邀请者也会私下说我不懂人情。

杨: Then you just take.

那你就带吧。

李: Yes, I take and now I spend all my salary this month.

是的，我带了，然后花光了这个月所有的薪水。

杨: Oh, I must say it is quite common. Although some people are reluctant in their hearts, they will just obey. If you can’t change it, just accept it.

哦，我只能说这很普遍。虽然很多人内心排斥，但是他们只能遵从习俗。如果不能改变，就接受吧。
