你的名字叫大衛。David: Yes, that is correct.
是的，沒錯。Todd: But what does everyone call you here?
這裏的人都怎麼稱呼你？David: Tennessee
田納西。Todd: OK. Why does everyone call you Tennessee?
爲什麼所有人都叫你田納西？David: Two reasons. One, I'm from Tennessee, the most obvious reason and the third is because usually there is two to three, one time there was four Davids here.
有兩個原因。第一，我來自田納西州，這是最明顯的原因。另外，就是因爲通常會同時有兩個或三個，有時候甚至是四個人都叫大衛。Todd: Oh, I see.
我明白了。David: And to keep us from getting confused they just started calling me Tennessee.
爲了不叫混了，大家就開始叫我田納西。Todd: Oh, nice. Great. Well it was nice to meet you, David.
好的，太棒了。很高興認識你，大衛。David: Nice to meet you too, Todd.
