Prudence: Your highness, a princess never prepares her own meals. That is not how things are done.
Cinderella: There are rules about breakfast?
Prudence: Of course, there are rules. Your highnss. But its certainly not your fault that you dont know the traditions of the castle. Thats what the king expects me to teach you.
Cinderella: I am sure I can learn it in no time.
Prudence: Mm-hmm. Come along. Theres no time to dally. Just do as I say, and everything will be fine.
Prudence: The king would be horrified to find the hostess of the royal banquet dressed like a scullery maid! A princess must be attired like royalty.
Cinderella: Couldnt I just wear one of my own dresses?
Prudence: Very amusing, Your highnessbut it simply isnt done.
scullery:后厨房,洗涤室
attire:穿上盛装
banquet:宴会
I can learn it in no time. 我会很快学会的。
Theres no time to dally. 不能再耽搁时间了。
It simply isnt done. 这可不行的
