Kathy: Thanks for the tea, Morley.
Morley: It figures that lobster would make me sick.
Kathy: No excuses. You lost, fair and square.
Morley: Well, it's worth it. I feel like I'm in old China at this teahouse.
Kathy: This used to be a gold mining town. That's how the people here had enough money to pay for the stone architecture.
Morley: By the way, it's great that you got over your fear of heights.
Kathy: I owe it all to Dan. He gave me the courage to try.

卡西：莫理，谢谢你请的茶。
莫理：我就知道那只龙虾会让我不舒服。
卡西：别找理由。你输了，很公平。
莫理：嗯，输的很值得。在这间茶坊里我好像活在中国古代。
卡西：这里曾是金矿重镇。所以这里的人才有足够的钱建造石材建筑。
莫理：顺便一提，你能克服惧高症实在是太好了。
卡西：多亏阿丹。是他给了我尝试的勇气。
重点解说：
★ It figures... …是理所当然的，也可以独立成句说成That / It figures.，表示‘想也知道’
★ fair and square （口）光明正大的
★ mining (n.,a.) 矿业（的）
★ architecture (n.) 建筑
★ get over 忘却（过去）
★ fear of heights 惧高
★ owe something to someone 对某人在某事物上欠一份情
