《绝望的主妇》精讲53

汤姆：宝贝，你不觉得你有点焦虑过头了吗？

丽奈特：汤姆，那个女人住在豪华天台屋上。我们必须不吃肉，才能买台笔记本。让我这样做吧。

Lynette: Nope. I was wrong. Preston, switch back with parker.

Preston: Why are we doing this?

Lynette: When renee pulls up to this house, she is gonna see the one thing I can show off--My beautiful, beautiful family. What is that, a pimple¹? Get in the back!

Tom: Honey, don't you think you're getting a little carried away?

Lynette: Tom, that woman lives in a penthouse. We had to give up meat so we could buy a laptop. Let me have this.

Tom: Is that her?

Lynette: Of course it is.

Tom: Okay, everybody, smile for mom and her strange and twisted friendship.

Renee: I'm back, rudolfo. Please tell signor cipriani I always stay in that suite² when I visit venice, and if it's not available, I'll be very unhappy. Now if you'll excuse me, there's someone more important I need to speak with. Hey, jose. Thanks for holding. Look, I can't do Thursday. So--

Lynette: Jose, she'll call you back.

Renee：Lynette, you haven't changed.

Lynette: Neither have you.

Renee: Hi, sweetie.Oh, no, please tell me you didn't dump³ Tom for this handsome, young trophy⁴ husband.

Tom: It's me, Renee. I mean, I do work out, like, 3 times a week, so maybe that's what you're--Oh, okay.

Renee: Are these your kids?

Lynette: Yeah. Yes, and here is our latest addition.

Renee: Oh, she's precious. Look at you all, what a perfect little suburban⁵ picture.

Lynette: Well, you know, I've been blessed. Very blessed.

丽奈特：不，我搞错了，普雷斯顿，和帕克对调一下位置。

普雷斯顿：我们为何要这样？

丽奈特：当雷尼驾到时，我必须让她看到我的幸福美满的家庭。这是啥，粉刺吗？站后面去！

汤姆：宝贝，你不觉得你有点焦虑过头了吗？

丽奈特：汤姆，那个女人住在豪华天台屋上。我们必须不吃肉，才能买台笔记本。让我这样做吧。

汤姆：是她吗？

丽奈特：当然是。

汤姆：好了，各就各位，为了妈妈和她的变态朋友，大家笑一个吧。

雷尼：我回来了，鲁道夫，告诉西诺·西比奥尼，我在威尼斯期间一直住那家酒店，要是订不到的话，我会很生气。容我挂断，我现在要和一个更重要的人说上几句。胡西，谢谢守听，瞧，周四我真的没空，所以...

丽奈特：胡西，她一会儿打给你。

雷尼：丽奈特，你一点都没变。

丽奈特：彼此彼此。

雷尼：亲爱的，哦，不，别告诉我，你为了这个年轻的帅哥，把汤姆甩了。

汤姆：就是我，雷尼。我是指，我一周要出去健身三次，可能因此你就...好吧。

雷尼：这是你的孩子吗？

丽奈特：是的。这位是我们家的新成员。

雷尼：她可娇贵了，瞧你们一家，真是一幅幸福美满的城郊图画。

丽奈特：你知道的，上帝保佑着我，如此保佑。
