Try though he might, Oliver couldn‟t remember the exact moment he stopped believing in love.

你在干什么?

-Oliver: Oh, sorry man. Are these your bushes?

bush: 灌木，灌木丛

啊，对不起，先生。这矮木丛是你家的?

I‟ll clean it all up when I am done. I'll be like I was not here.

-Mike: You are done now!

你现在就完了。

-Oliver: Oh easy, big fella. I am just a P.I. doing a domestic surveillance job.

fella: <俚>小伙子，伙伴 P.I.: private investigator 缩写 domestic: 家庭的 surveillance: 监督，监视

住在街尾的一个金发女士。

你说Susan？他们不是你想的那样。他们只是结过婚。

She is only talking to him because they had a kid together.

她会和他说话仅仅是因为他们有个孩子。

-Oliver: From what I heard, they are on their way to kid number two.

你简直在胡言乱语。

她不是那样的。

-Oliver: Oh please. Look at her. That woman clearly knows her way around a mattress.

-Mary Alice: Yes, Oliver Weston had become a cynic, which is why he couldn‟t recognize a man who

was still in love.

如果我发现有一张收据作假，那么就等着被解雇吧。

Oh, Scavo? He's going to start with you.

Scavo?你第一个。

-Lynette: I can't believe that son of a bitch hired a forensic accountant.

son of bitch: 狗娘养的

我简直不敢相信，那个王八蛋雇了专职会计师。

He's more whipped than I thought. Well, he's tragically underestimated us.

whipped: 受到鞭打的 tragically: 可悲地 underestimate: 低估

看来他比我想像中的还要受打击。只可惜他低估了我们。

The gloves are coming off.

我们就跟他动真格的。

quit: 辞职

也许我应该辞职。

-Lynette: What? Yesterday you were up in arms. Now, now you're ready to cave?

up in arms: 感到愤怒，起来进行武装战斗 cave: 倒塌

什么?昨天我们才扬言说要斗争到底。今天你就打算投降了?

-Tom: If Ed is determined to get me, sooner or later, he's going to get me. It's just a matter of time.

如果Ed下定决心要解雇我，那么迟早，他会解雇我的。这只是时间问题。

-Lynette: No, no! We are not backing down.

back down: 放弃

不不! 我们不能食言。

I'm going to walk over to Ed's office right now, and I'm going to make very clear that if you're out the

door, I'm right behind ya.

ya: you: 你

我现在就去Ed的办公室，我要告诉他如果他解雇了你，我会跟你一起走。

-Tom: We can't both be unemployed.

unemployed: 失业的

我们不能都失业。

-Lynette: Oh, it'll never happen. He knows this place will go down like a house of cards without me.

哦，这决不可能发生。他知道如果公司没有我，一定会倒闭的。

-Tom: Honey, wait. Just wait!

亲爱的，等等，先等等!

-Lynette: What, what?

怎么了?

-Tom: I'm not going to hide behind my wife's skirt.

我不能受我妻子的保护生活。

-Lynette: We're a team. I'm just lending support.

lend: 借 support: 支持

我们是一组的，我只是给予支持。

-Tom: That's not the way it's going to look to everybody else out there.

可旁人不会这么看啊。

Look, let me talk to him, man to man. If my way doesn't work, then we'll do it your way.

让我先跟他谈谈，男人和男人的对话。如果我的方法不奏效，那时我们再用你的。

-Lynette: Okay, go get him.

好，你去找他。

-Lynette: Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Tom, what happened?

哦老天啊!哦老天啊!Tom 发生什么事了?

-Tom: I think I gave him just cause.

just: 正当的

我想这下给了他解雇我的理由了。

-Mary Alice: Susan knew she couldn't afford to keep the P.I. from revealing her affair with Karl

afford: 支付得起 reveal: 泄露 affair: 事情

Susan知道她不可能凑集足够的钱给私家侦探以隐瞒她和Karl的亲密关系。

and since Edie would learn the truth anyway, Susan felt it would be better if it came from her.

learn: 知道

既然Edie迟早都会知道事情的真相，Susan觉得也许由自己来告诉她会比较好...

Which is how she came to write a letter begging Edie for forgiveness.

beg: 祈求 forgiveness: 原谅

所以她写了封信给Edie 请求她的原谅。

Her words were so sincere and heartfelt, from the moment she mailed it,

sincere: 真诚的，诚挚的 heartfelt: 衷心的，真心诚意的 mail: 邮寄

在信中，她言词诚恳坦荡。在她寄出信的时候，Susan就知道...

...she was a dead woman.

know that, right?

-Betty: Because this is our special day, just you and me.

因为这是我们俩特别的日子，只有你和我。

-Caleb: Is he mad at me? 'Cause of Danielle?

mad at: 生气 „cause: because

他因为Danielle的事很生我的气吗?

-Betty: No. He knows that you didn't mean to scare her.

mean: 有意 scare: 吓

不，他知道你并不是故意要吓她的。

-Caleb: 'Cause he said it was okay for me to kiss her.

他说我可以亲她的。

-Betty: What did you say?

你刚刚说什么?

他说Danielle喜欢我，我亲她的话，她就不会反抗。

-Betty: Your brother told you that?

你弟弟这么告诉你的?

-Caleb: Matty said that she was waiting for me and that she wanted a really big kiss.

Matty说她正在等我，等我给她一个长吻。

-Betty: What else did your brother tell you?

你弟弟还对你说了些什么?

-Gabrielle: Xiao-Mei? I made you some hot cocoa. I guess the baby thing didn't really appeal to you, huh?

cocoa: 可可 appeal: 有吸引力

晓梅？我给你做了热可可。我想你对生孩子那事没兴趣，对吗?

I know it's a lot to ask, it's just, Carlos and I think of you as family. Don't you think of us as family?

我知道这样要求有点过分，Carlos和我只是把你当成一家人而已。你难道不觉得我们是一家人吗?

-Xiao-Mei: Oh, yes! You are like mother to me.

哦，是的！你就像我妈妈一样。

-Gabrielle: Mm hmm. Well, if we are so frigging close, what's the big deal? It's nine months out of your

life.

恩，既然我们这么亲密，你还介意什么嘛？只需你生命中的九个月。

-Xiao-Mei: Down there.

这里。

-Gabrielle: Wait. Are you a virgin? Wow.

virgin: 处女

等等，你是处女?

-Xiao-Mei: If I have baby, I will be shamed.

shamed: 羞愧的

如果我有了孩子，我会羞愧至死的。

-Gabrielle: Are you kidding? No one cares about virginity in this country.

kid: 开玩笑 virginity: 童贞

你不是开玩笑吧？在这个国家没有人在意女人这回事。

It went out of style in the fifties, and trust me, honey, it isn‟t making a comeback.

comeback: 复辟，卷土重来

那是50年代的人的想法了，相信我，亲爱的。不会再有人这么想的。

Seriously, no one cares.

真的，没人会在意那个。

-Xiao-Mei: Husband would care. No man want me if I ruined. I want husband so much.

日后的丈夫会在意的。生完孩子后不会再有人想要我了，我非常想有一个丈夫。

-Gabrielle: Well, what kind of husband do you want? Do you want a rich husband?

你想要个怎样的丈夫？想要个富有的丈夫吗？

Well, then, rich men don't marry virgins for the same reasons they don't hire chauffeurs who can't drive.

They value experience.

chauffeur: 司机 value: 注重

富人不会娶处女就如同他们不请不会开车的司机一样。他们重视经验。

-Xiao-Mei: Really?

真的吗？

-Gabrielle: Would I lie to family?

我会骗我的家人吗？

-Lynette: Here are the numbers you wanted.

这是你想要的数据。

-Ed: Lynette, wait. Have you heard from Tom?

Lynette，等一下，你听tom说了吗？

-Lynette: He's not answering his cell phone. But you don't have to worry, okay?

cell phone: 手机

他不接电话。但你不必担心了。

You got what you wanted. He's out of the building.

你已经得到你想要的，他已经不在这儿了。

-Ed: Come in here and close the door.

关门，来这儿。

-Lynette: You sure? I might punch you, too.

punch: 殴打

你确定吗？我也许也会打你的哦。

-Ed: I'll take my chances.

我想试试。

-Lynette: If this is where you want me to apologize for my husband, I'm not going to do it.

apologize: 道歉

如果你想让我为我的丈夫向你道歉，门儿也没有。

Maybe he shouldn't have hit you, but you provoked him.

provoke: 刺激

也许他不应该打你，但是是你先刺激他的。

-Ed: Now wait a minute?

先别激动好吗？

-Lynette: No! I am sorry, Tom gets punished because you can't deal with your screwed-up marriage.

screwed-up: 搞砸了的 marriage: 婚姻

不！由于你那糟糕的婚姻而惩罚Tom，

It is pathetic, Ed. If you had stood up to your wife in the first place, none of this -- what?

pathetic: 可悲的

Ed,你太可悲了。如果你一早敢与你老婆对抗，什么事都不会——怎么了？

-Ed: I love it. You're giving me crap about my marriage. You know what?

crap: 废话

你说得真好。你现在说的关于我婚姻的东西都是废话。

Here! Oh, the forensic accountant found some interesting stuff in Tom's expense reports.

forensic: 法院的 accountant: 会计师 stuff: 东西

看看这个。会计师在tom的花销记录里找到了些有趣的项目。

Yeah, it seems on his last three trips east, he cashed in his first-class ticket and took a detour to Atlantic

City.

cash: 付现款 first-class: 头等的 detour: 绕路而行

看起来，在他最近的三次东部之旅中，他坐的都是头等舱，而且还顺便绕道去了趟亚特兰大。

-Lynette: What? That can't be right.

什么？这肯定是调查错了。

-Ed: Well, it's all there. Hotels, bar tabs. Oh, and on this page two tickets to a show. And flowers.

bar tab: 酒吧账单

详详细细的都在那儿写着。宾馆还有酒吧的账单。噢，还有这页...两张演出票。还有花。

-Lynette: That doesn't make any sense. There's got to be some kind of an explanation for this.

explanation: 解释

这样说没有道理，他肯定有他的原因。

-Ed: Before you pass judgment on someone else's marriage, I'd clean up my own house first.

judgment: 判断 clean up: 收拾干净

在评论别人的婚姻之前，我会先把自己的婚姻搞清楚。

-Bree: Sorry, I don't know what's taking Danielle so long to get dressed.

真不好意思，不知道Danielle怎么换了那么久的衣服。

-Andrew: Just give her a break, mom. I'm sure she's just trying to look nice for our company.

我总是说，越“辣”，越好。

-Andrew: So, Mr. McMillan, I hear you went to Perkins College. I'm thinking about going there after I

graduate.

graduate: 毕业

McMillan先生，我听说你以前上的是Perkins大学。我在考虑等我高中毕业以后也去那儿念书。

-Peter: Uh, Perkins, huh? I was there. Yeah, I made it to every party,

噢,Perkins是吧?我在那儿的时候参加了许多派对，

and I went to classes in my spare time. No, actually, it's a great college. I, I, I think you'd like it.
