Bobby: I just love the Xmas and New Year season.

Kelly: Because of all the presents you get from family and friends?

Bobby: No! Because of all the great bashes you go to.

Kelly: You mean Xmas parties at home with your folks?

Bobby: Not really. I mean the office parties, your friends' parties, the nightclubs, everything!

Kelly: You sound like a real party animal, Bobby. Do you dance and drink?

Bobby: I can dance, but I am a bit not a good drinker. I get tipsy too easily.

Kelly: So why do you go to so many parties?

Bobby: You know that you are young only once, so you should have a good time!

凯莉：因为你从家人和朋友那里得到礼物？

鲍比：不是。我指的是办公室的派对、朋友的派对、夜总会，一切的一切！

凯莉：你听起来像是个真正的派对动物，鲍比。你跳舞、喝酒吗？

鲍比：我可以跳舞，不过我不胜酒力。我太容易醉了。
