BillとYokoの会話です。夫婦の会話らしく訳してみましょう。
チャレンジタイムです。

Yoko: After 2 months of being shut down, we finally ＜got the green light＞ to re-open. ＜What a long stretch that was!＞
2ヶ月間の閉鎖後にやっと再開の許可が出たわ。本当に長かったわね。

Bill: Well, look at the bright side, at least you were able to have Skype lessons that is better than most of us.
良い方に考えると、君は少なくてもスカイプレッスンができたんだから僕たちよりはマシだよ。

Yoko: You got a point there. After all it was better than nothing that’s for sure.
それもそうね。結局のところ、何もないよりは良かったって事は確かね。

Bill: I had to break into my savings otherwise ＜I would not get by any longer.＞
僕は貯金を崩さないとやっていけなかったしね。

Yoko:＜All is good＞ now and hopefully things will pick up perfectly fast.
今のところは大丈夫だけど、あとは何もかも早くうまくいって欲しいわ。
