I think the tree looks particularly(特别) beautiful in this light.Don’t you?
Well, if by beautiful you mean is unbelievaly ugly,then I’d agree.

He does landscapes(他画风景画).sells them at the country fair(集市),people say they’re beautiful.

I feel bad(难过) for his wife,she married a dreamer,because of that ,one of the two of them(他俩中任何一个) will always be unhappy.
Why do we have to be unhappy ?(我们为您为什么要不高兴)
As annoying as the yard was to my dad,it was nothing compared to how annoying Juli was in that tree.
Every morning we had to listen to the sound of her blow-by-blow traffic report.
Listen,girl,I’m this close to calling the police(我要报警了),You’re trespassing(非法入侵) and obstructing progress on a contrated job.
Either you come down or we’re gonna cut you down.(要么你下来要么我们砍树你下来)

He doesn’t even age(变老),I told myself I should be glad about it.Isn’t that what I’d always wanted? but still I felt bad for her,I was gonna tell her I was sorry,but then I thought,no,that’s the last thing I needed Juli thinking I missed her.
