The story
马克:大卫,婚礼上你站在我旁边。你一定要穿西装!David, at the wedding you'll stand next to me. You have to wear a suit!
小雨:这家商店专门卖大号的西装,一定有你的!This shop specializes in big suits — they're sure to have one for you!
店员:先生,您试试这件西装。这是最大号的。Sir, try this suit. It's our biggest size.
大卫:……太短了。你们看,我的手都出来了!...Too short. Look, my hands are sticking right out!
店员:那……这件呢?Then... how about this one?
小雨:也太短了!脚也出来了!Too short too! Your ankles are sticking out!
大卫:不管哪件西装,都太短了!No matter which suit it is, they're all too short!
店员:不是西装短,是先生太高了。It's not that the suits are short, sir. You're too tall.
