DAPHNE: Oh, don't be silly.
JENS: Mrs O'Donnell, my name is Jens Foss.
DAPHNE: Nice to meet you, Jens. You must call me Daphne.
JENS: Thank you for welcoming us to your lovely home.
DAPHNE: Oh, this is too kind, really. Peter, you should have told them it's only a little supper.
PETER: Ah, not to worry!
DAPHNE: I'm afraid this is typical of Peter. Please, do sit down.
PETER: It doesn't matter. The important thing is you're here now.
DAPHNE: Did you ⑥have trouble finding us?
JENS: Not really. Sorry, are we late?
PETER: Drink?
彼得: 快請進。
達夫妮: 你一定是瑪麗亞吧。非常高興見到你。
瑪麗亞: 感謝您邀請我們。
達夫妮: 噢，請千萬不要客氣。
顏斯: 歐唐納夫人，我是顏斯·福斯。
達夫妮: 很高興見到你，顏斯。叫我達夫妮好了。
顏斯: 非常感謝您邀請我們來你可愛的家做客。
達夫妮: 噢，你太客氣了。彼得，你應該告訴他們這只是一頓家常便飯。
彼得: 哈，不必擔心！
達夫妮: 這就是彼得的個性。請坐。
彼得: 沒關係。重要的是你們現在都坐在這裡了。
達夫妮: 找到我們家有困難嗎？
顏斯: 不是很難。不好意思，我們遲到了嗎？
彼得: 喝點什麼？
