　　Jin: Where did all the syllables go?
　　Rick: That's the beauty of Philly's slang－the easier it is to pronounce, the better!
　　Jin: That's interesting.
　　Rick: Or you can say, “that's innerestin’.”
　　Jin: That's different. You guys like to drop the “t” a lot, right?
　　Rick: Right. It helps the words to flow right off your tongue.
　　Jin: I didn't realize big American cities have their own specialized slang!
　　(续上期，下期续)
　　阿敬：那些音节跑到哪里去了？
　　瑞克：那就是费城俚语的美妙之处——愈容易发音愈好！
　　阿敬：真有意思。
　　瑞克：或是说 ‘曾有意素’也行。
　　阿敬：是有些不同。你们很喜欢把t省略掉，对吧？
　　瑞克：没错。这样可以让字顺口溜出嘴。
　　阿敬：我之前都不知道美国大城有自己特殊的俚语！
　　重点解说：
　　★ syllable (n.) 音节。因为Fluffya 、Fill Uff Ya 的音节比Philadelphia 少，所以阿敬才会问那些音节跑到哪里去了？
　　★ pronounce (v.) 发音，宣判
　　★ specialized (a.) 专门的 [NextPage]

　　Rick 's
　　Rick: Do you think things went OK?
　　Jin: I don't know. He seemed busy and not too excited about the idea.
　　Rick: It's out of your hands. Let's wait to see what happens.
　　Jin: Maybe Taiwan is too far away?
　　Rick: Let's not worry about it now. We still have things to check out here in Fluffya!
　　Jin: Fluffya? What's that?
　　Rick: That's our local slang for Philadelphia. Or you can just say “Fill Uff Ya!”

　　在瑞克车上
　　瑞克：你觉得进行得顺利吗？
　　阿敬：不知道。他似乎很忙，也对这个想法不太起劲。
　　瑞克：这不是你能控制的事。咱们就静观其变吧。
　　阿敬：或许台湾太遥远了？
　　瑞克：现在先别担心这个了。 ‘惠城’还一堆东西等着我们去看呢！
　　阿敬： ‘惠城’？那是啥？
　　瑞克：那是我们这里的俚语，表示 ‘费城’。或是你要说 ‘惠层’也行！
　　重点解说：
　　★ out of someone's hands （某人）无法掌握的
　　★ slang (n.) 俚语
