The story

小雨：大卫，你的号码是多少？David, what's your number?

大卫：一百零八。安娜，你的号码呢？One hundred and eight. Anna, what's yours?

安娜：一百零九。我的号码比你大，我也比你快！One hundred and nine. My number's bigger than yours, and I'm faster than you too!

大卫：号码跟快没关系！……我有点儿紧张。Numbers have nothing to do with speed! ...I'm a bit nervous.

安娜：紧张？我一点儿也不紧张！……哎？我的号码呢？我的号码不见了！Nervous? I'm not nervous at all! ...Huh? Where's my number? My number's gone!

小雨：在你后面呢！你看，你也很紧张嘛。It's on your back! See, you're nervous too.

马克：这个比赛的记录是一个小时零五分。The record for this race is one hour and five minutes.

大卫：记录？我不要记录，但我要比安娜快！The record? I don't care about the record, but I'm going to beat Anna!
