小高：总的来说很顺利。开始的时候因为紧张，我的脸像鬼一样苍白。但是之后我就适应了。

京晶：好吧，我听了一点儿也不惊奇。你的演技真的非常棒。再加上有我专业的帮助，你肯定顺利完成。
Xiao Gao: Hey, don't get too ahead of yourself, we only practiced together for an hour!
小高：嘿，不要得意忘形，你只帮了我一个小时而已。
Jingjing: I know I know,I'm just teasing you. But maybe one day we'll see you on the big screen.
京晶：我知道啦，我只是逗你玩儿呢。但是有一天，我没准能在好莱坞电影里看到你。
Xiao Gao: Maybe not. For now, I think I'll stick to acting in small plays.
