Vern: I really think we’ve bitten off more than we can chew. I like do-it-yourself projects, but installing a new window and a new door isn’t as easy as it looks.
弗恩：我真的觉得我们有些自不量力了。我喜欢自己动手做项目，但安装一扇新窗户和一扇新门并不像看上去那么容易。
Genevive: What we don’t know, we’ll learn as we go. Okay, we’ve removed the old window. This new double-paned one is going to be great and it’ll slide open and close easily, unlike the old one. We just need to put in a new frame first, and then we can move it into place.
吉内瓦：不知道的东西，边做边学就好了。好了，我们拆下了旧窗户。这个新的双层玻璃肯定不错，滑动式的开合十分方便，跟旧窗户不一样。我们只需要先放好窗户的框架，然后再将它移动到合适的位置。
Vern: You make it sound so easy. Is the screen going to fit? It looks too big.
弗恩：说的挺简单。这个框架合适吗？看起来有些太大了。
Genevive: Oh sure, it’ll fit.
吉内瓦：哦，当然，很合适。
Vern: This latch doesn’t seem to be working.
弗恩：这个闩锁好像坏了。
Genevive: It’ll work once it’s installed. Come on, give me a hand. Hmm...the new window doesn’t seem to fit exactly. I’m not sure what the problem is. Let me think about it. Let’s move on to the door and come back to it later.
吉内瓦：等安装完就可以用了。来，帮我一把。嗯…新窗户似乎不太合适。我不知道问题出在哪里。我先想想。我们先安装门吧，一会儿再回来弄窗户。
Vern: Are you sure?
弗恩：你确定？
Genevive: Sure, I’m sure. Installing the new door will be easier and we can get it out of the way.
吉内瓦：当然,毋庸置疑。安装新门更简单，放心吧，我们可以解决的。
Vern: Maybe we should wait until the window is installed. If we can’t finish installing the window and the door before nightfall, it’ll be a very cold night in the house.
弗恩：我们还是安装好窗户再说其他的吧。如果我们不能赶在天黑前把窗户和门安装好，晚上会被冻坏的。
Genevive: Don’t worry. Let’s see, first we have to remove the old door without damaging the jamb. The hinges are rusted; it seems to be stuck. Oh, I think it’s finally coming off.
吉内瓦：别担心。我来瞧瞧，首先我们必须在不损坏门框的前提下拆掉旧门。铰链生锈了;门好像被卡住了。哦，它总算掉下来了。
Vern: See? Replacing the door isn’t going to be as easy as you thought, is it?
弗恩：看吧？换门没有你想象的那么容易，对不对？
Genevive: I got it off in the end, didn’t I?
吉内瓦：我还是把它弄下来了，不是吗？
Vern: Yes, but will you be able to put in the new one before I die of frostbite?
弗恩：是的，但是你能在我冻死之前换上新的吗?
