Hello!

Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited.
我们邻居的孩子将在一座外地的教堂举行婚礼,我和丈夫都受邀前往。
We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket.
我们立马冲向了一家商店,我买了一件好看的粉色裙子和一件夹克衫。
The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
那裙子稍有点紧,但我还有一个月才要去参加那6月30号的婚礼,(因此)我只要减肥减掉几磅就行了。

June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two.
6月30号到了,当然,我一磅也没减掉;事实上我还长了两磅。
But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣) would cure everything.
但我估计一件好的新近身内衣就能解决一切。
附: figure n. 图形, 形状, 数字
v. 描绘, 演算, 表示; 出现, 出名, 估计
这里figure 作动词“估计”之意

So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store.
所以,在我们去城外(参加婚礼)的路上,我们再次停在路边的商店。
I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle.
我跑进去并告诉店员我需要一件大好的紧身内衣。
The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on.
店员找到了那个上面印有“LG”的盒子并询问我是否愿意试穿。
“Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”
“哦,不,大号肯定可以了。我没必要再试了”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go.
第二天上午非常热,所以直到要走的时间前45分钟我才去穿那紧身内衣。
附:rather adv. 相当, 有点儿, 颇; 倒不如; 宁可, 宁愿; 而不是
这里做“相当;很”之意
I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size.
我打开那盒子却发现里面是件小号的紧身内衣
Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle.
因为已经没时间去再找另一件并且不穿紧身内衣我就没法穿那裙子,于是,一场我和紧身内衣间的战斗在宾馆房间内爆发了。(拟人说法,增加搞笑性)
Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag?
你曾尝试过把20磅的马铃薯塞进一个只能装5磅东西的包里吗?
That's it.
那就是它了。(即“我”强行要穿上紧身内衣)
Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it.
最终,我的丈夫笑地像疯了一般,抓住“紧身内衣”的两边把我摇进去了。
At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.
当我把那件与我已经憋红的脸一点也不相配的粉色裙子穿上时,我们准备好出发 。

Finally we got to the church.
最终我们到了教堂。
I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass.
我听一个人说人们正在做大弥撒
附High Mass
大弥撒
I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.
我转向我丈夫问到“啥是大弥撒?”他耸了耸肩。

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.
不幸的是,我终于知道这大弥撒持续了1小时22分钟8秒半--神父会为所有除我紧身内衣外的东西祝福。

希望能帮到你 (不好意思,刚才没看完)

while all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars,I'd rather say Mars is totally

当我的所有同学看起来都对去火星的单程票疯狂时,我更愿意说火星完全不适合人类存在unsuitable for human existence.

People won't have enough food supplies there,and the terrible environment would make it impossible for 那里人们不会有足够的食物供应,恶劣的环境也不可能让人长寿them to live a long life.

Besides,the journey won't be safe.Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars,never to return?

除此之外,这旅途也不会安全.有人可以解释给我听为什么人们只想去火星而不想回来?
