Michelle: What will you be doing on April 29?
Man: To be honest, I'm not quite sure. I haven't got anything marked in my diary. Is there something I should be worried about?
Michelle: Think about it. What's happening?
Man: To be honest, I'm not too great, politically.
Michelle: I'm just going to tell you! It's Kate and William's day of their marriage!
Man: OK, well I'm not a royalist so to be honest I'm probably going to be sat at home watching TV. Not really too concerned about the future of the monarchy and to be honest it's just a wedding between two upper class people.
Li: 這位男人說，it's just a wedding between two upper class people 那只不過便是兩個上層人之間的婚禮罷了。He's definitely not a royalist!
William: No, definitely not!
Let's just hear one more clip. What is this person planning to do during the royal wedding?

Man: I might actually be working there because I do a waitering job, so I might actually get a job waitering that I haven't confirmed yet. But that would be amazing, to actually work there.
Michelle: Oh my goodness, so you might be working at the royal wedding?
Man: Yeah, no, I actually might be yeah, which will be quite cool.
Michelle: Brilliant! So you'll be serving canapés to like Kate and Will...
Man: Champagne and stuff... yeah it'll be wicked. Really cool.

Man: My grandma wants me to nick a piece of wedding cake... so I'll do my best!
Michelle: Do you think that you might meet some glamorous guests and stuff like that?
Man: Oh certainly, yeah! David Beckham's going isn't he? So that would be top of my list to see.
William: That man said he might be at the actual wedding, waitering.
Li: 他是餐廳服務員 waitering 意义是餐廳服務。
William: Serving champagne and canapés.
Li: Canapés 西式宴會小點古道热肠。
William: And his grandmother has asked him to nick a piece of wedding cake!
Li: To nick something 就是偷東西的意思。不過這個詞不正式，比較心語化。
William: But he just wants to see David Beckham.
