旁白 neutral

" All right, I think we reached everyone. Let's get back to the square."

旁白 neutral

" That's not why we're here, Morb!" Maff yelled." You are not the true king!"

" Oh wait, I know what you're looking for. What's a celebration without confetti?"

“哦等等，我知道你们在期待什么。没有纸屑庆典还算什么庆典？”

旁白 neutral

He snapped his fingers again, and confetti rained down over the square

他又打了个响指，彩色纸屑像雨一样落在广场上。
