The story

王老师：各位，欢迎！今天，马克和安娜的婚礼在这儿举行！Everyone, welcome! Today, Mark and Anna's wedding is being held right here!

乐乐：王老师，谁是新郎？谁是新娘？Teacher Wang, who's the groom? Who's the bride?

王老师：新郎是马克，新娘是安娜。他们俩是今天的新人。The groom is Mark and the bride is Anna. Those two are today's newlyweds.

乐乐：新娘在做什么？婚礼还没开始，她在吃东西！What's the bride doing? The wedding hasn't even started, and she's eating!

小雨：新娘一边等，一边吃。很正常，尤其是安娜。The bride is eating while she waits. Totally normal — especially for Anna.

乐乐：新郎的眼镜是新的吗？跟以前的一样啊。Are the groom's glasses new? They look the same as before.

大卫：是新的。同样的眼镜，他买了两个。They're new. He bought two pairs of exactly the same glasses.

小雨：他挑了一个小时呢！两个比一个强嘛。He spent an hour choosing! Two is better than one, right?
