Yves: Help me fill out this application for our marriage license.

伊夫:帮我填填这张结婚证申请。

Vanessa: Can’t you do it? I’m really busy with work right now. Do as much as you can and just ask me if you don’t know something.

瓦妮莎:你不能填吗?现在我确实忙着工作呢,尽量帮我填写吧,遇到不清楚的地方再问我。

Yves: Okay, I’ll try, but I’m reading through the requirements, and it’s a good idea for both of us to know what they are.

伊夫:好吧,我试试,但是我正在通读相关要求,正好我们都来了解一下到底要求什么。

Vanessa: Okay, then just read them out loud to me.

瓦妮莎:好的,大声读出来,我听听。

Yves: All right. We need to bring identification and it’s best to bring our birth certificates, just in case. We don’t need blood tests and there’s no waiting period in this state. Are you listening?

伊夫:好的,我们需要带身份证,最好带我们的出生证明,以防万一。我们不需要验血,这个州不用等很长时间,你在听吗?

Vanessa: To every word. Go on.

瓦妮莎:每个词听的都很清楚,继续说。

Yves: For people who have been married before, they’ll have to bring proof of divorce, death, or annulment. Okay, since you’ve been married before, you’ll need to bring a copy of your final divorce decree. Did you hear that?

伊夫:以前结过婚的人需要拿离婚证明、或者配偶死亡证明、或者婚姻的废除证明。好,既然你先前结过婚,你需要带份离婚证明的复印件。听到没有?

Vanessa: Yeah, yeah.

瓦妮莎:嗯嗯。

Yves: We can choose any qualified officiant and the marriage license is valid for 90 days – that’s 90 days to get married and have the marriage recorded. We only have 90 days after we get the license to get married, got that?

伊夫:我们可以任选个有资格的牧师,结婚证有效期是90天——这90天里可以结婚,可以记录婚礼过程。我们拿到结婚证后有90天的时间来举行婚礼,明白吗?

Vanessa: Sure, 90 days. No problem.

瓦妮莎:当然,90天,没问题。

Yves: I’m starting to wonder. If you don’t have time to fill out our marriage license application, how will you make time for our wedding?

伊夫:我有个疑问:如果你都没时间填我们的结婚证申请,那你怎么会有时间准备我们的婚礼?

Vanessa: What? I’m really busy right now. Let’s talk about it later.

瓦妮莎:什么?我现在真的很忙,我们等会儿再谈论这个。

Yves: Is it just me, or does this conversation not bode well for our future marriage?

伊夫:到底是我的问题,还是这个谈话不是我们未来婚姻的好兆头啊?
