浪漫喜剧啊？我本来希望能看点更有动作感的，或者甚至是部惊悚片。你知道，能让人肾上腺素飙升的那种。

嗯，我猜也是。但如果我们尝试折中一下呢？有没有什么电影能把一点动作和轻松幽默结合起来？比如动作喜剧？
An action-comedy? That's a solid compromise! I actually saw a new one pop up on our list, 'The Spy Who Loved Me A Little Too Much.' Sounds promising.
动作喜剧？这是个不错的折衷方案！我确实在我们列表里看到一部新出的电影，叫《那个太爱我的间谍》。听起来很有前景。
Oh, I think I saw that trailer! It looked pretty funny. Okay, I'm game for that. It's got the action for you, and hopefully, enough laughs for me.
哦，我好像看过那个预告片！看起来挺搞笑的。好吧，我赞成。它有你喜欢的动作戏，希望也有足够多的笑点让我开心。
