朱莉：我们要提到经济吗？农业生产啊，矿产啊什么的？

TREVOR: Well ... Dr White said we shouldn't go into that sort of detail.

特雷弗：嗯……怀特博士说这类细节信息不用提。

JULIE: But it's pretty important when you think about it ... you know because it does influence the education system ...

朱莉：但我觉得这个还挺重要的……因为经济确实会影响教育体系……

TREVOR: Look ... let's think about that one later shall we?
