Episode: The duty call


(When Robin and Frank were enjoying the life in the sunshine on beach, Marjorie, Robin's boss, phoned in.)

当罗宾和弗兰克正在沙滩上，晒着太阳，享受生活时，罗宾的老板打来了电话。

Robin: Hello?

Marjorie: Look, I know you're on vacation, but this is a dire emergency.

我知道你在渡假，但是这绝对是一件可怕的意外。

Robin: Oh, no.不。

Marjorie: The photo shoot's on, but it's an availability nightmare. Vendela and Evander Holyfield only have a mutual 17-hour window. If we don't get them now, nobody’s available for four months and we lose them for the May cover.

照片已经拍出来了，但没有用。Vendela 和 Evander Holyfield只能共同露面17小时。如果我们现在不能和他们敲定的话，后四个月就没有可以采访的了，同时也没法把他们做到5月那期的栏目中。

Robin: There's gotta be somebody closer whose life you can screw up.

总还有别人离你更近些，你可以去挤占他们的时间。

Marjorie: That's the ironic thing, dear. There's not. Vendelar's in Sydney. Evandeer's in Osaka. I threw Taylor on a plane this morning to Papeete.

你在讽刺我，亲爱的，没其他的人了。Vendelar在悉尼，而Evandeer却在大阪。今早我已经派泰勒做飞机去了帕皮提了。

Robin: Tahiti?塔希提岛？

Marjorie: Yes. They're all coming to you. All you have to do is fly back to Tahiti, baby-sit the shoot, fly back out. 15 hours at the most.

他们都来你这了，而你要做的就是飞回塔希提岛，然后在飞回来，最多就15个小时。

Robin: Look, this is complicated. Uh... Frank proposed to me last night.

看这很复杂。弗兰克已经向我求婚了。

Marjorie: Oh, my God! This is so exciting! Sweetie, I'm so happy for you!

哦，太棒了。亲爱的，我真为你感到高兴。

Robin: Well, I'm glad, but the point is what kind of message am I sending to Frank if the day after our betrothal, I'm leaving him to go on some photo shoot?

我很乐意，但问题的关键是在我和弗兰克订婚的第二天我就要离开他去拍一些新闻照片，我该怎么对他说呢？

Marjorie: An excellent message. This is the perfect opportunity to establish parameters.

你要告诉他这是一个绝好的消息。

Robin: Oh, God.天呢！

Marjorie: I read somewhere that 38.6% of all women are pressured into quitting their jobs in the first year of marriage.

我在什么地方读到过一篇报道说的是38.6%的女人在结婚的第一年迫于压力而辞职。

Robin: Marjorie, you read that in our magazine and we made it up.

马乔里你是在我们的杂志上读到的，那篇文章还是我写的呢。

Marjorie: Oh, please. Robin, please, please, please. Robin, please.

求你了，罗宾 ，求你了。

Robin: Deal.成交。

Marjorie: Oh, good! Do you have a way back to Tahiti?好。你要回塔希提岛吗？

Robin: Oh yeah, I can... [Groans]是的，我可以

(Right, how could she manage to find a plane flying back to Tahiti? And How to persuade her boyfriend for this business trip on their vacation? The stories are following up...)

(Continuing...)（她怎样才能找到一架飞回塔希提岛的飞机呢？以及她怎样才能说服男友让她在他们的渡假期间去出这趟公差呢？故事待续）
