李华收到了妈妈从中国寄来的包裹，迫不及待地把里面的东西拿给Larry看。他们会用到两个常用语：tacky和swallow one's pride。

LH: Larry，你看，这是我妈送你的礼物！

Larry: Interesting...Is...Is that a rug?

LH: 什么啊？这是毛衣！多好看啊！

Larry: That's a sweater? Oh, my...

LH: 你看！我妈还在这儿别了张纸条，上面说，这是她亲手给你织的。我妈真有两下子，是不是啊，Larry?

Larry: ...Oh my.

LH: 怎么？你不喜欢？

Larry: Umm...Look, Lihua. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but...It's just a little tacky for what I'd normally wear.

LH: Tacky？什么意思？

Larry: Well...basically...not fashionable.

LH: 不时髦？俗气？这毛衣怎么俗气了？！

Larry: Well, look at this design...there are pine trees and little people knit into it.

LH: 那怎么了，有松树有小人儿就俗气？

Larry: Well, a little bit. And look at these colors...bright green and red on black? It's so tacky it almost hurts my eyes... and plus, look at the...

LH: 你还嫌颜色太鲜艳，亮得闪了你的眼？！行了行了！I don't think they're tacky at all. 我觉得一点儿都不俗！我妈亲手织的，看你敢不穿！

Larry: Listen, I know you like tacky clothing, and that's fine. But I'm not wearing it.

LH: 什么？你说我喜欢俗气的衣服？！我哪有！

Larry: OK, for example, your pink Hello Kitty tennis shoes are quite tacky.

LH: 粉色的hello kitty网球鞋不是tacky，是可爱！可爱！
