Todd: OK, John could you tell us about your wedding day?
托德：好的，约翰，你能跟我们说说结婚那天的事吗？
John: Sure, I got married about two years ago on May 18th. I got married in my wife's parents backyard 1. They have a really beautiful backyard, with a pool and it's nicely landscaped, with lots of nice flowers and bushes 2 and trees. It was a kind of a small wedding we only had about 30 to 50 people there, all close friends of the family, and a few family members who I hadn't seen in a few years who were able to make it, but it was a pretty small affair and we had the food catered 3, some seafood 4 and some meat, steak, type items 5, and it was a beautiful outdoor wedding. The actual ceremony only lasted about 15, 20 minutes. I cried, when I was supposed to like, deliver my lines. I cried and everyone told me afterwards, they were like, " I couldn't hear a word you were saying because you were crying, right!" and I was trying not to talk loud cause the louder I got the louder my crying noises got, so I was like "Ah, mmm, will you merry me?", just real quiet. But other than that it went pretty smooth.
约翰：当然可以，我在两年前结婚，5月18日。我在我妻子父母的后院举行了婚礼。他们有一个非常漂亮的后院，里面有游泳池，景色非常美，当然还有大片漂亮的鲜花、灌木丛还有树木。我们举行的是小型婚礼，只邀请了30到50名宾客，都是家人的亲密朋友，有些家人我已经有几年没有见过了，他们都来参加婚礼了，我们的婚礼并不隆重，我们准备的美食包括海鲜、肉类、牛排这类的食物，那是一场很唯美的户外婚礼。实际上整个仪式只持续了大概15或是20分钟。我在要宣誓时哭了。我哭了，之后所有人都跟我说，“我根本没听到你说的任何一个字，因为你一直在哭！”我努力控制自己不要大声说话，因为我说话的声音越大，我哭泣的声音也越大，所以我就像这样，“啊，唔，你愿意嫁给我吗？”，非常小的声音。不过除了那个，婚礼进行的很顺利。
