Marlin: Wait a minute. What is going on? you.already told me which way the boat was going.
Dory: I did? Oh, no.
Marlin: If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny. And I know funny. I'm a clownfish.
Dory: No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry. See, I suffer from short-term memory loss.
Marlin: Short-term memory loss. I don't believe this.
Dory: No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly. It runs in my family. At least, I think it does. Um, hmm. Where are they? Can I help you?
Marlin: Something's wrong with you--really. You're wasting my time. I have to find my son.
Bruce: Hello.
Marlin: -Ohh.
Dory: -Well, hi!
Bruce: Name's Bruce. It's all right. I understand. Why trust a shark, right? So, what's a couple of bites like you... doing out so late, eh?
Marlin: We're not doing anything. We're not even out.
Bruce: Great! Then how'd you morsels... Iike to come to a little get-together I'm having?
Dory: You mean, like a party?
Bruce: Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?
Dory: I love parties. That sounds like fun.
Marlin: Parties are fun, and it's tempting, but--
Bruce: Oh, come on, I insist.
Marlin: OK. That's all that matters.
Dory: Hey, look, balloons, It is a party,
Bruce: Ha ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.
【重點詞彙】
1. short-term memory loss
藍唐王魚多莉答應幫助小丑魚馬林找他的兒子，但是在小丑魚一次次問她有關信息時，多莉總不記得這些。short-term memory loss意思是短期記憶喪失，相對的是long-term memory loss 意思是長期記憶喪失。
2. run in
當小丑魚馬林不相信多莉說的短期記憶喪失時，多莉解釋說這個是家族遺傳的。Run in 有“運行、追捕、試車”之意，在這裏意譯爲“遺傳”。
2. something's wrong with
剛開始小丑魚馬林聽到多莉的短期記憶喪失時，還覺得不可思議，絕對是藉口，而後多莉又問了一次“你有什麼需要幫忙的嗎？”，馬林開始相信，多莉真的有點問題。Something is wrong with somebody 意思是某人有問題，如果是在醫院病人對醫生說“Something is wrong with me”意思則是“我身體有點不舒服”。
4. mind your distance
小丑魚馬林和多莉一起跟着鯊魚布魯斯踏上了前往派對的旅程。馬林和多莉對於海中的氣球非常感興趣，很想摸一摸，這時布魯斯讓他們最好小心點，不要弄破氣球。Mind your distance 直譯是“注意距離”，在這裏意譯爲“小心點”。
