大卫:这是一封信?这么厚!That's a letter? It's so thick!
小雨:比字典还厚。谁寄给你的?It's thicker than a dictionary. Who sent it to you?
乐乐:这么厚?一定是你对象写的。马克,是你吗?This thick? It must be from your other half. Mark, was it you?
马克:这儿写着……是胖胖包子的律师。It says here... Pangpang Buns' lawyer.
乐乐:律师给包子店寄信?他要买包子吗?A lawyer's writing to a bun shop? Does he want to buy buns?
