说漏关系遇上彩虹小镇：praise be to God

一对同性伴侣在纽芬兰的酒吧闲聊，说漏了关系，本以为要冷场，结果一句 praise be to God（谢天谢地）接住了场面，全酒吧的人一个接一个举手认亲。有人感慨 We somehow ended up in the gayest town in Newfoundland（我们稀里糊涂落到了纽芬兰最「同」的小镇）。想学英语里化解尴尬、幽默接话，这段很可爱。

发生了什么

一对同性伴侣在纽芬兰的甘德落脚，在酒吧跟老板马蒂和他太太布伦达闲聊。两人说话格外小心，可几杯下肚，一句 Kevin and I have been together for almost five years（凯文和我在一起快五年了）说漏了嘴，整个酒吧瞬间安静。没想到马蒂先接话：Well, praise be to God. My daughter's gay（赞美上帝，我女儿也是同性恋），接着布伦达、她哥哥一个接一个报出家里的同性恋亲戚。有人感叹，We somehow ended up in the gayest town in Newfoundland（稀里糊涂落到了纽芬兰最「同」的小镇）。后来镇上办烧烤，镇长让大家 round up some grills（把烤架收拢来），挨家挨户去拿，反而被请喝了一路茶。想学英语里化解尴尬、幽默接话，这段很暖。
