ANDREW: Your older brother is a little strange, I think.

DAN: Steve? You think he's strange? Why?

ANDREW: He wanted me to come over and watch "Star Trek" with him.

DAN: Oh, that. He's a Trekkie. You shouldn't be surprised.

ANDREW: He's a what?

DAN: A Trekkie. He's a serious "Star Trek" fan.

、So he has all the episodes on tape. And he has a "Star Trek" website on the internet.

ANDREW: He even has a website? For "Star Trek"?

DAN: Yes, he's a serious fan.

ANDREW: I don't understand it, though.

He's 27 years old. Isn't it kind of immature to be serious about a science fiction show?

DAN: Don't you have Trekkies in Taiwan?

ANDREW: I don't think so. Maybe some kids. But your brother is an adult.

And he works for an accounting firm. Why should he like "Star Trek" so much?

DAN: It's just a kind of hobby. Some American adults are like that.

They have some show they like, and they know every episode.

Some of them even start to collect memorabilia.

ANDREW: Memorabilia? What's that?

DAN: They collect all the posters, or dolls, or stickers,

or anything that comes out from the show.

ANDREW: And your brother is like that too?

DAN: Oh, sure. Go in his basement some time.

You will see the walls are all covered with "Star Trek" stuff.

ANDREW: That's too strange! Doesn't he have trouble finding a girlfriend?

DAN: Maybe a little.

It's true some Americans agree with you. They think it's too immature.

ANDREW: I like "Star Trek" sometimes too. I liked the movie.

But I don't think of it seriously. It's just for fun.

DAN: He does it for fun too. Don't worry. He's not a maniac. He just does it for fun.

安德魯：我覺得你哥哥有點怪。

丹：史提夫?你覺得他怪?為什么?

安德魯：他想找我來和他一起看《星際迷航記》。

丹：喔，那個啊!他是"星際迷"，別大驚小怪。

安德魯：他是什么?

丹："星艦迷"。他是《星際迷航記》的電影迷。

他擁有所有影集的錄影帶，他還有《星際迷航記》的網(wǎng)站。

安德魯：他還有網(wǎng)站啊?《星際迷航記》 的嗎?

丹：是的，他很迷的。

安德魯：我還是不明白。

他 27 歲了，還對科幻片這么著迷，不是很幼稚嗎?

丹：臺灣沒有星艦迷嗎?

安德魯：沒有吧!有些小孩子可能是，但是你哥哥是成人啊。

而且他在會計公司上班，為什么他這么迷《星際迷航記》?

丹：這是一種嗜好罷了。有些美國成人也是如此。

他們有自己喜歡的節(jié)目，也知道每一集的內容。

有些人甚至開始收集紀念品。

安德魯：紀念品?那是什么?

丹：他們收集海報、玩偶、尖刀，

還有電影里面出現(xiàn)的任何東西。

安德魯：你哥哥也像他們那樣?

丹：對啊。有空去他的地下室看看。

你可以看到墻上到處都是《星際迷航記》里的東西。

安德魯：太奇怪了!他這樣找女朋友會有麻煩嗎?

丹：也許有一點，

有些美國人跟你一樣，認為他太不成熟了。

安德魯：我也喜歡《星艦迷航記》那部電影。

但是我沒那么瘋狂，純粹為了好玩。

丹：他也是為了好玩而已，別擔心，他不是狂熱者，只是好玩罷了。
