英文原文:

On the drive to the funeral home

Yi-jun: Don't we need to give a white envelope with money for the family, though?

Holly: No. People give plates of food. The food is brought to the reception or in the weeks following.

Yi-jun: At the reception?

Holly: That's after the funeral. That way the family doesn't need to think about cooking while they're mourning.

Yi-jun: Then you don't take anything with you for a viewing?

Holly: You can bring flowers if you want, but you usually have those delivered.

参考译文:

开车去葬仪社的路上

怡君:那我们不需要包白包给家属吗?

荷莉:不用。大家都会带一盘食物过去。食物会带到接待会上,或者葬礼过后的几周之内,都可以带菜去给丧家。

怡君:拿到接待会?

荷莉:那是在葬礼之后。这样子家属在哀恸之余,就不必分神去准备食物了。

怡君:那去瞻仰遗容时,什么都不用带吗?

荷莉:你要带花去也行,不过通常会请人送过去
