特維:正如亞伯拉罕所言,“我在外邦作了寄居的。”
孟德爾:那是摩西說的!
特維:哦,好吧,正如大衛王所言,“我本是拙口笨舌的。”
孟德爾:那也是摩西說的。
特維:……作為一個拙口笨舌的人,他可夠能說的。
Tevye: As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land. "
Mendel: Moses said that!
Tevye: Ah. Well, as King David said, "I am slow of speech, and slow of tongue."
Mendel: That was also Moses.
Tevye: For a man with a slow of tongue, he talked a lot.
