场景：

小华下意识地翻看了男友的手机，居然发现一个女孩的视频，心里堵得慌，必须问个明白。

Xiaohua：Honey, what are you doing？

小华：亲爱的，嘛呢？

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：I’m preparing dinner. What's up？

小华男友：我在准备晚饭。怎么了？

Xiaohua：Do you live a double life?

小华：你过着双重身份的生活吗？

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：What do you mean by "live a double life"?

小华男友：这话啥意思？

Xiaohua：Which means you're different.

小华：你不一样。

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：What are you talking about?

小华男友：你在说啥？

Xiaohua：Okay. Simply put, you work in a coffee shop, but as night falls, you put your wig on, dress up in sexy gowns, like a drag queen.

小华：好吧，简单地说，你在咖啡店工作，晚上你带上假发，套上性感的裙子，简直就是男扮女装者啊。

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：What? I have to say, you have a large vocabulary bank. I don't understand what you're talking about.

小华男友：什么？我想说，你词汇量太大。我压根不知道你在说啥。

Xiaohua：I’m talking about a girl's video in your photo album. Who is she? Tell me. What's the problem between us？She looks like another you.

小华：我在说你相册里的女孩的视频。她谁啊？告诉我，我们之间的问题在哪儿？她就是你的翻版。

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：What? I'm so confused! Ah, damn it, it was such a coincidence.

小华男友：什么? 我蒙圈了。啊，糟糕，一场巧合。

Xiaohua：A coincidence?

小华：巧合？

Xiaohua's Boyfriend：OMG. Let me explain. Okay. It's a birthday paradox. I drove home the other day when I finished work. I had a car accident. A white BYD sideswiped my car and we both stopped. You know what, the traffic policeman was totally stunned because he found both of the drivers shared the same birthdate, the same year, but also the same name.

小华男友：我的天呀。让我解释。这是生日悖论的问题。前些天我下班开车回家。遇到一个车祸。一辆白色BYD剐蹭我的车，然后我们停车。你知道吗？警察叔叔都傻眼了，我们司机两人是同年同月同日生，名字都一样。

Xiaohua：And the same colored car and the same modal BYD, right? You are a liar. A storyteller.

小华：还同色的车，同型号，对吧？你个骗子！故事大王。

（小华男友到底还是没解释清楚，小华只好把心声告诉了小红。）
