《他没那么喜欢你》精讲 72 我不得不说真正的高手是我

…if he’s sleeping with someone else

Woman: Well, my first husband was unimpressive. I found him in bed with his big-breasted secretary...when I came home early from the Maldives. It was just so unoriginal. Made me feel sorry for him. My second husband was a pinch more creative. Cheated on me with my sister...but made me believe that I was insane for being suspicious. So at least some mind games, some intrigue¹. But my last husband, he was a gem². He was a veritable master at covering his tracks. I mean, I pored over his phone records, I intercepted³ his credit-card bills...I had him followed on numerous occasions...and never found a single shred⁴ of evidence. It wasn't until he died...that I found out about the property he owned with his Austrian mistress. But the real master, I have to say, is me. Three husbands, countless⁵ boyfriends, I haven't been caught yet.

...如果他跟别人上床了。

女子：嗯，我的第一任丈夫没什么特别的地方。当我提前从马尔代夫回到家时...他跟他的波霸秘书被我捉奸在床。太没创意了。我都替他丢脸。我的第二任丈夫就挺有想象力的。背着我跟我妹妹有一腿...让我觉得自己疑心太重，不正常。所以搞外遇至少得动点儿脑筋，耍些手段。可我的最后一任丈夫，真是个极品。他是个名副其实的遮谎专家。我翻查他的通话记录，截获他的信用卡账单...还在很多场合都跟踪过他...却从未发现过一丁点儿证据。直到他去世后...我才发现他跟他澳洲情妇的一处房产。但是，真正的高手，我不得不说，是我。三任丈夫，数不清的情人，却从未被抓到。
