Wang Fei: (Screaming) Ahhh!!

王飞（尖叫）啊！

Finn: Wang Fei, are you ok?

芬恩：王飞，你还好吗？

Wang Fei: (Screaming) No, no. Ahhh!!

王飞：（尖叫）不，不好。啊！

Finn: What's wrong? What's wrong?

芬恩：怎么了？出什么事了？

Wang Fei: There's a big, green spider in the studio!

王飞：演播室里有一只巨大的绿色蜘蛛！

Finn: A spider? Oh, it's only a spider. Chillax!

芬恩：一只蜘蛛？哦，那只是只蜘蛛，冷静！

Wang Fei: Chillax?!

王飞：Chillax？！

Finn: Yes, chillax. I'll get the spider... Now, hold on... Got it. Feel better?

芬恩：对，冷静。我会处理这只蜘蛛的……现在，等等……解决了。感觉好些了吗？

Wang Fei: Thanks, yes, much better. So Finn, what was that word you just said?

王飞：谢谢你，感觉好多了。芬恩，刚刚你说的那个词是什么意思？

Finn: Chillax. It's a combination of two words. Can you guess them?

芬恩：Chillax，这是由两个单词组合而来。你能猜到是哪两个词吗？

Wang Fei: Chill... and... relax?

王飞：Chill和relax吗？

Finn: Chill and relax, yes. It means the same as chill or chill out or relax. So just now I told you to chillax, which means don't worry, relax.

芬恩：没错，就是chill和relax。意思就类似冷静或是放松。刚才我让你冷静，意思就是别担心，放松。

Wang Fei: Oh, I understand. So if I tell somebody to chillax it means, basically, to relax or to calm down?

王飞：哦，我明白了。如果我跟某个人说chillax就是让他放松或是冷静下来？

Finn: That's right. That's one way we can use it. For example:

芬恩：没错。这是我们应用这个短语的一种方式。比如：

I'm so worried about going on my first date with Steven!

我很担心和史蒂文的第一次约会。

Chillax, it'll be ok. I'm sure you'll have a nice time.

放松下来，会没问题的。我确定你会度过愉快时光的。

Finn: You could also just say, I want to chillax or I'm chillaxing.

芬恩：你也可以说，我想放松一下。

Wang Fei: Chillaxing.

王飞：放松。

What are you doing tonight?

你今晚做什么？

Nothing special, just going to chillax at home.

没什么特别的，就只是在家放松。

Wang Fei: So does chillax mean exactly the same as chill out and relax?

王飞：那chillax和冷静还有放松的意思完全相同吗？

Finn: Well the meaning is the same, but chillax is a newer expression, so you probably won't hear it as much.

芬恩：意思是相同的，不过chillax是一种更新潮的表达方式，所以可能你听到的并不多。

Wang Fei: Great. So by the way Finn, where did you put that spider?

王飞：太棒了。对了，芬恩，你把蜘蛛放哪里了？

Finn: The spider?

芬恩：蜘蛛？

Wang Fei: Yes, the big, green spider.

王飞：对，那只巨大的绿色蜘蛛。

Finn: Oh, the spider. I can't remember. I think I left it on the desk.

芬恩：哦，那只蜘蛛。我不记得了。我想我把它放在桌子上了。

Wang Fei: Really? Then what is that big, green thing climbing up your neck?

王飞：真的吗？那在你脖子上爬的那个巨大的绿色物体是什么？

Finn: Eh? What? Ahhh!!

芬恩：呃？什么？啊！

Wang Fei: Ha ha. Finn, chillax! I was just kidding.

王飞：哈哈，芬恩，放松！我只是开玩笑的。

Finn: Very funny Wang Fei. Bye for now.

芬恩：太有趣了，王飞。现在该说再见了。

Wang Fei: Bye.
