To paint the town red
满城狂玩儿
Will: Hello! Im Will. Its Friday night time to have fun! This is the Burning Swan - my favourite pub. Im just waiting for Li. Oh there she is. My goodness! What is she wearing this time?
Li: Hi Will.
Will: Hi Li! Nice... blue overalls!
Li: Thank you, 这些都是新买的工作服 overalls, 专门为今天晚上准备的。
Will: Okay. I dont really follow fashion, but in London at least, overalls are really just for builders and painters and carpenters.
Li: Yes, youre right! 好了我们从哪儿开始呢?
Will: Eh? What are you doing?
Li: 这里看上去是挺单调的。
Will: Why have you got a can of paint?
Li: 特别是对面儿的那堵墙,你看漆都掉了。Shall we?
Will: Li, what are you doing? You cant just walk into places and start repainting their walls! Dont! Stop it! Dont! I love that brown colour!
Li: Will,你不是说要刷成红色吗?
Will: No! No-one wants it to be red!
Li: But didnt you say that tonight wed paint the town red, starting with this pub 你不记得了今天早上你说我们要把这城市刷成红色的,还说就从这个酒吧开始!
Will: Its just an expression! It means that well go out and have a really exciting, crazy time. Well paint the town red it just means well have fun, not actually paint things.
Li: OK. To paint the town red 是一个短语意思是在城里狂玩儿。
Will: Lets listen to some examples.
