介绍:
感谢热心听友“大声Helen”帮忙听写本篇文稿!
Ryan (R): A Beijing couple has decided to break tradition and used the subway for their wedding party’s transportation. Crazy or cool? What’s going on?
Bob (B): Well, I mean, Niu Hongling and I have beenfighting over this story since... but is actually does calm down to whether this is a wedding for human beings or for cats.
R: How does it come down to that Bob?
Niu Honglin (N): I have nothing to do with it.
B: Because I think it would totally be different if this was cats? Anyway it was a story. OK. So hiring a limousine.. It’s a headache. The whole wedding thing is a headache, isn’t it? For couples who want to get married. So much they have to think about getting from A to B, moving the whole wedding party around that kind of things. It’s a huge expense. And in these days, when we’ve got to think about the environment and you know the kind of things that... What would we rather spend our money on? Do we rather spend it on luxury limousines? Or do we want to maybe spend it on things for the new house or something like that? Then you think it yourself, I KNOW! Let’s have the wedding in the subway. Good idea or bad idea, I don’t know.
N: Well, I have to justify for this specific couple. Well, in their case, they didn’t actually have the wedding in the subway. They are just using subway as a transportation choice. So they decided to go from home to the hotel using the subway, but wearing traditional Chinese wedding customs. And they walked into the subway station with their bridesmaid and best-man. And actually it’s very sweet, cuz the bridegroom checked the regulation beforehand to make sure that they didn’t violate any rules. And they set out at 8am Saturday to avoid disturbing traffic peak hours, keeping the ride low key without any special music or arrangements during the trip. So I believe it’s a cute and sweet idea and they didn’t disturb anyone. They kind of spread their joy and they have made their contribution to promoting a green idea of living.
R: I want to talk about how Bob wants to spread joy with the cat in the subway as he was referencing... I do believe? I don’t know. But you know, looking at this, I mean I don’t think we can comfortably say nobody was a little annoyed. Someone is gonna have to take the cab, not the cab, the subway. Because the cabs are maybe a little more expensive if you are cab hailing, maybe taking the subway on a Saturday. So in which case, if you’re taking the subway in the morning, for whatever reason, on a Saturday someone is, at 8am, then do you think this would annoy you? I seem to be under the impression anyone waking up at 8am on a Saturday is grouchy. Right, I would be, I would be grouchy and then I see these people having a great time, getting married... And I am single, I’m doing something at 8am in the morning.
B: Oh, he’s bitter.
R: And I’m like rub it in my face, could you just take your taxi with your tinted windows, So I don’t even have to see it. Bob.
B: Just calm down.
R: You’re gonna on the side with me Bob?
B: No, not in the slightest. So do you think it’s a good idea or not a good idea before I go onto cats?
R: Oh, God.
N: I think it’s a good idea for them. Because they are not taking a limo. They are taking the subway. And I feel like they are not really disturbing anyone. And also a lot of netizens have responded, saying that renting a limo is not that important and their way of doing this is environmental-friendly. And it’s possibly faster concerning Beijing’s traffic conditions. So I’m agree with them doing it.
B: Do you know, I think it depends on which subway line that this was going to happen on. If it’s subway Line1, then I reckon that there’s a lot of grumpy people.
R: Yeah, me.
B: You, for example. Sitting there, being grumpy and saying go get married somewhere else.
R: Bring cats.
B: But on some lines, I reckoned, on Line6. This would be fine. Everything is a bit more chilled on Line6.
R: I don’t take Line6 often, so I can’t say. But definitely on Line1...
B: And we’re talking about Beijing Subway here?
R: Yes, definitely on Line1. I would be a little bit grumpy. Niu Honglin?
N: Yeah, for me, as long as you are happily married, you will spend your day with your loved ones, friends and relatives. You can do whatever you want as long as you are not bothering anyone, you have my bless.
B: But use cats.
R: How did cats ever get into this? You got to explain yourself here.
B: Cuz everybody loves cats.
R: That’s not true. Some people love dogs.
B: Or dogs. Okay, I think more people like cats. But if you’re going to do something which is really sort of... When it comes to society like getting in people’s way. Then you just would think, okay I gotta do something to make people feel happy, in which case, take a cat with you. And then, everybody would be happy. No, you didn’t get away with more. I have done it myself.
R: See, this is where it starts. This is what I’m worried about guys. And I want your opinions. I starts with weddings. But then it ends up being with Bob with cats on the subway. And who knows how many cats Bob will bring with him on the subway?
B: I’m not a crazy cat-man. I’m not gonna bring you like 10 cats or something like that.
N: Well, let me bring the subject a little more to human wedding instead of cat wedding. For those of you who really want some creative ideas. You can also take some water ways, you can also take a bike and also a horse might be a nice choice. For those of you who want to have some adventure, you can get married on an airlift. And also you can rent a party bus to transport all your guests, relatives and friends. So whatever you want to do, just be happy and creative.
R: Guys, gotta know, quick closing statements, cute or annoying? What do you think Bob?
B: I think, annoying on Line1 and probably quite entertaining on Line5.
R: Oh my God.
N: Cute and happy and full of pink bubbles.
B: And cats.
R: Or maybe cats. That could definitely just be you, Bob, on this one.
