I sorted out this script bit by bit. The reference materials are mainly two dictionaries: Collins English-English, 21st Century English-Chinese Dictionary.
If you see too many people, continue to update. So far, I have sorted out the 10th episode by myself.
You can never get tired of watching this play over and over again. Too many easter eggs~
