1、中英对照绝望的主妇超级经典台词Everyone understands the nature of war, we also understand that victory depends on the cards that we have been dealt. Some when faced with a bloody battle sim ply give in, but for some surrender is unacceptable, even though they know it w ould be a fight to the death。 每个人都清楚战争的本性，我们也知

2、道胜利取决于我们打出的那些牌。有些人在面对血战会从容放弃；但是对某些人来说投降是无法接受的，尽管他们清楚面前的是决一死战。 The world is filled with unlikely friendships. How did they begin, with one per son desperately in need and another willing to lenda helping hand. When such k indness is offered,we are finally able to see the worth of those we have previ

3、ously written off, and before weve known it, a bond has formed, regardless of whether others can understand it. Yes, unlikely friendships start up everyday, no one understands this more than the lonely, in fact, its what they counton 世界上到处都是不太可能的友谊。它们都是由一方迫切的需求和另一方伸出的援助之手开始的。当这样的帮助提供给我们的时候，我们才明白曾经失败

4、的价值。在我们相识之前，一条纽带就已经把我们连接在一起了，不管别人能否理解。的确，不太可能的友谊每天都在发生，没有人能比孤独寂寞的人更了解这一点。事实上，不太可能发生的友谊就是他们的指望。 Now and then we all need a little help, so we ask for small favors. But it s always best to be wary of those eager to come to our rescue. Because even the smallest of favors carries a price tag. Yes, every

5、one has an agenda, no matter what they may tell us.and in those rare instances where there is no ulterior motive, were so taking aback that we may fail to recognize the truth - that a loving friend has just done us an enormous favor。 偶尔我们总会需要帮助，所以我们请别人帮点小忙。不过对那些急切想拯救我们的人最好要带着一颗机警的心。因为哪怕是最小的恩惠都是有价格的。

6、是的，每个人心里都有一本帐，不管他们告诉我们什么。别有用心的人太多了，像好朋友帮了大忙这样的情况真是少之又少。我们过分的警觉导致我们失去了对真相的判断力。 This is how Bree Van De Kamp finally came to change her weeklyroutine, she sti ll cleaned on Tuesdays, paid her bills on Wednesdays,and did her laundries on Thursdays, but her Fridays were now reservedfor a meeting, a spec

7、ial meeting w here she stood in front of peopleshe didnt know, and said things she didnt believe, and afterwardsBree would come home and reward herself on the complet ion of anothersuccessful week。对每个人来说意识到自己孤独的活在世上都是震惊无比的。我们认为理所当然的家庭会抛弃我们；我们深信无比的丈夫也可能背叛我们；我们深深爱着的女儿也许不再回到我们的身边。那时我们只能一个人孤独的走到生命的尽头。 T

8、his is the street where I used tolive, and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in, and I saw what they brought w ith them -beautiful dreams for the future and quiet hopes for a better life no tjust for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, w

9、ould Itell th em what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in st ore? No, from where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from e

10、njoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes,there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surpri ses wedidnt see coming, but thats really the point, dont you think? 这就是我曾经生活的街道，我和这些人一起分享过生活。我在他们搬来那天起认识的他们，我看到他们带来的对美好未来的憧憬；为更好生活的向往，为自己更为了孩子。如果我可以，我会告诉他们前路是什么样的吗？我会警告他们未来的悲伤和背叛吗？不会，站在我的位子我

11、自然明白路应该怎样走。秘诀就是放下拖慢我们脚步的艰难困苦，勇往直前的享受这快乐而又短暂的人生旅途。 Every storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning, everything will be mad e clean again. And even the most troubling stains will have disappeared. Like t he doubts over his innocence, or the consequence of his mistake, like the scars of hisbetr

12、ayal,or the memory of his kiss.So we wait for the storm to pass hoping for the best, even though we know in our hearts some stains are soindelibl e, nothing can wash them away。 每随风暴而来的是希望不论如何，到了早晨，一切都会变干净，即使最顽固的污点也会消失。像对清白的疑惑，错误的结果，背叛的创伤，亲吻的记忆。我们等待着风暴退却，期待着雨过天睛。即使我们清楚在心中， 有些污点是如此顽固，没有什么能将它们清除。 Have

13、you met theperfect couple? The two soul mates whose love never dies? The twolovers whose relationship is never threatened.The husband and wife whotrus t each other completely. If you havent met the perfect couple,let me intr oduce you.They stand atop a layer of butter cream frosting.The secret of th

14、eir success? Well, for starters, they dont have tolook at each other。 你有没有遇到过完美的一对，精神伴侣，他们的爱永远不死；这对恋人，他们的爱情从没受到过威胁；丈夫和妻子，完完全全信任对方？如果你没有遇见过这样的一对眷侣，让我来给你介绍这么一对：他们是站在奶油冰淇淋上的。他们成功的秘诀？他们从来不正视对方 We all carrysomething with us. Of course, its nice if we travel with some one whocan help lighten the load. But

15、 usually, its easier to just drop wh atweve been carrying so we can get home that much sooner. Assuming, ofcourse, there will be someone there to greet us when we arrive. Wh y dowe clutch at this baggage, even when were desperate to move on? Because we all know theres a chance we might let go too so

16、on。 我们都在负重前行。当然，能结伴而行会很幸福，有人帮助分担重负。但通常抛掉负担会更简单。这样我们就能早日归家。设想着，当然，有人会在家迎接我们归来。为什么有人仍然抓住行李不放，即使我们不顾一切的向前看。因为我们都知道，有的机会也许我们放弃的太快。 We all have our reasons for rewritinghistory.Sometimes we need to provide ours elves alibis. Sometimes wewanna hurt someone who has hurt us, and then there a re times we jus

17、twanna spare ourselves embarrassment. Of course, there are some who feelthat to rewrite history is just another way to lie. But what is history anyway.But a set of lies agree depend? 我们都有要改写历史的原因。有时候我们需要给自己找一些托辞。有时我们想要伤害那些曾经伤害过我们的人，有时我们只是不想自己困窘难堪。当然，有时改写历史只是另一种方式去说谎。但是，历史究竟是什么呢。难道只是一系列的谎言吗？ Sabotage

18、, everyone is capable of it. But some go about it morecruelness than t he others。 阴谋破坏，每个人都能做，但有些人可以做得更加冷酷。 Like the ones whocreate vengeance 像那些渴望复仇的人。 Or the ones who hunger for love。 像那些寻觅爱情的人。 Or the ones who were determined to burn bridges。 像那些决定一刀两断的人。 And then there are those who simply wants

19、 something 也有些人的愿望简单而直接。 Something that belongs to someone else 有时候， 那属于其他人。 There is a place in St. Timothy church where sinners go to confesstheir sins. St.Timothy 教堂有处罪人忏悔的地方 And once they are done, they expectabsolution 当他们忏悔完，都期待能得到宽恕 But the truth is, not all confessions areworthy of such forg

20、iveness。 但事实上，不是所有忏悔都值得被原谅。 Most who unveil hisagendas deserve the condemnation they receive。 大多数人，秘密计划败露了，得到应有的谴责。 Most who disclose revengeful motives marry the punishment that follows。 大多数人， 报复动机暴露了，得到随之而来的惩罚 Only the truly repentant at any right at allexpect a second chance。 只有真心悔过，才有权利获得第二次机会。

21、Were just why its best tothink twice before you confess。 这就是为什么最好在你忏悔前先三思而后行 Especially if youdont know what it is youre confessing to。 尤其是如果你不知道你在忏悔什么 Sweetie, we cant prevent what cant predict。 亲爱的，我们不能预防我们所不能预知的 Isntthere anything I could do? 有什么是我能做的么？ Yes, yes. You can enjoy thisbeautiful day。

22、你可以享受这美丽的一天。 这就是Bree Van DeKamp如何最终改变了自己的每周安排，她仍然在周二打扫卫生；在周三付帐单；在周四洗衣服，但每个周五她要参加一个特别会议，在会议上她站在一群陌生人面前说她自己都不相信的话，然后回到家中犒劳自己，祝贺完满成功的一周。 At that precise moment as DrHanson Mills was cutting yet another umbilical cor d, other ties werebeing severed all over town, like the one between a child an d a moth

23、erwho didnt want him to grow up so quickly, or the one between a case offine wine and a housewife who hadnt wanted to admit she had a problem, or the one between a women and the boyfriend who couldnt forgiveher betrayal. The choice to separate from what we love is painful; theonly thing w orse is wh

24、en someone weve trusted makes the choice forus。 就在HansonMills医生切断另一根脐带的时候，小镇上其他的联系也被切断了。像一个母亲和儿子之间，母亲不想孩子那么快就长大；一箱好酒和主妇之间的关系，主妇不想承认她酗酒；或是一个女人和男友之间的关系，男友不能原谅她的背叛。选择离开我们的爱是痛苦的，更糟糕的是我们信任的人让我们做这样的选择。 Temptation comes to all of us, whether or not we succumb dependson our ability to recognize its disguise

25、, sometimes it arrives in aform of an old flame, fli ckering back to life, or a new friend whocould end up being so much more, or a young child who wakens feelingswe didnt know we had. And so we give in t o temptation all the while knowing come morning, well have to suffer the consequences。 每个人都会受到诱

26、惑，我们是否屈服与诱惑决定于我们识破其伪装的能力。有时它们以闪回的火花形式出现；有时是一个意义深远的新朋友；有时是一个触发我们不曾有过的感觉的婴儿。不过如果我们屈服于诱惑，那么第二天我们必须承担后果。 Weve all done something inour lives us we are ashamed of, some of us have fallen for the wrongman, some have let go of the right women, therere th ose who have humiliated their parents and those who

27、have failed their children. Yes,weve all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow。 我们都做过一些自己都感到惭愧的事。有些人爱错了人，有些人错过了爱；有些孩子使父母丢脸，也有些家长让孩子失望。是的，我们都犯过错使我们爱的人离我们而去。但如果我们试着从这些错误中吸取教训并成长，就还有挽回的机会。 Theres is a prayer intended to

28、give strength to people faced with circumst ances they dont want toaccept. The power of the prayer comes from its ins ight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life h asdealt us; Because so many of us are cowardly, and afraid to stand upfor wha t is right; Because so m

29、any of us give in to despair, when faced with an imposs ible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that god will hea r you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no。 祈祷赐给我们力量，让我们能够面对不愿接受的事实。祈祷的力量来自它对人性的洞察力；因为太多的人对我们的生活充满愤怒；因为太多的人过于懦弱，不敢拍案而起；因为太多的人无法选择

30、的时候，选择对绝望妥协。好消息是敢于把话说出口的人，上帝会听到你的祈祷并回答你。坏消息是有的时候上帝的答案是否定的。 When the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know if reve aled, the damage it will do. So they conceal it with insturdy walls, or they pl ace it behind closed doors, or they obscure it with clever disguises, but truth ,

31、 no matter how ugly, always emerges,and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt, and someone elsewill revel in their pain, and thats the ugl iest truth of all。 当真相很丑陋的时候，人们想法设法来掩盖它。因为他们知道如果被发现的话后果相当严重。所以他们用严实的墙来遮蔽它；或把真相关在紧闭的门后；或用聪明的伪装使它们变得朦胧。但不管真相多么丑陋它们总会浮现，那些我们关心的人最后还是会受到伤害，而另外一些人却为他们的痛苦而

32、快乐，这才是最丑陋的事实。 Its a shocking moment for each of us that moment we realize we are all alo ne in this world. The family we take for granted could oneday abandon us; the husband we trust so implicitly might betray us; the daughter we love so deeply perhaps wont return to us. And then wecould end up all

33、 by ourselves。 We get so few of them。 我们很少有这样的一天 Thereare so many things we wish we could tell the young 有太多的事情我们想要告诉孩子们 Wedlike to persuade them not to grow up so fast 我们想说服他们，不要这么快就长大。 But theywont listen。 但他们听不进去。 We want to tell them the beauty face but theyrefuse to believe it。 我们想告诉他们，花容总有凋谢的一

34、天，但他们拒绝相信。 We worn them thattheir actions will have consequences, but still they defy us。 我们警告他们，他们的所作所为会有后果，但他们仍然不予理睬。 Suddenly the young can began tounderstand the world is a dangerous place。 终有一天，孩子们会意识到这个世界是危险的 So itsup to us to do anything we can to protect them 所以我们要做的就是，尽一切可能来保护他们 Absolutely

35、anything 不惜一切代价。 Dangerous men walk among us。 危险的人在我们之中潜伏。 And we cant always be sure who they are or what secretthey hide。 我们不是总能肯定他们是谁，或者他们隐藏着怎样的秘密。 But once our suspicious areconfirmed 但是最可怕的疑虑得到证实。 We can take action。 我们就可以采取行动 Once theiragenda were revealed 一旦他们的行事议程被揭露。 We can take steps to pr

36、otectourselves and those we love。 我们就能采取措施保护自己和我们爱的人。 Yes, dangerous men cancause great harm 是的，危险的人会造成巨大的伤害。 But sometimes the greatest dangerousthey pose is to themselves。 但是人有时候他们所做有最危险的事， 是对他们自己做的。 Theres areason people cant wait for Christmas, and it has little to do withfamily reunions。 人们等不及过

37、圣诞节的理由和家人团聚没有任何关系。 Or curling up with a cup ofeggnog. 或是为了蜷缩着喝一杯蛋酒。 with that unexpected kiss beneath the mistletoe。 又或是槲寄生下那个意料的吻。 or receiving a present from a special someone。 或是收到某个特殊的人送来的礼物。 no, people look forward to Christmas。 不是的，人们期待圣诞节的到来。 because they know, its a time for miracles。 因为他们知道

38、，是时候.。出现奇迹了.。 Its a dangerous world. So we all look for protection.And whether wefind i t in the arms of our mother,or at the end of a jagged blade, orin the kiss of our sweetheart, or at the end of a barrel. We do what wehave to to feel safe. Because we know somewhere in the world there arethose wh

39、o would do us harm。 这个世界危机四伏，所以我们都会寻求保护。不管是妈妈那温暖的臂弯，还是一把锯齿刀片，不管是心爱妻子的一个轻吻，还是一把手枪。为了安全感，我们不得不有所行动。因为我们知道世界上的某个地方，有想伤害我们的人。 Yes, it can happen so quickly. Lifeas we know it can change in the blink of an eye. Unlikely friendshipscan blossom. Important careers can be tossed aside. A long -lost hopecan b

40、e rekindled.Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there areno chan ges left。 是的，世事瞬息万变。转眼之间，面目全非。不可能的友谊可以开花结果，重要的事业可以放置一边，灰飞烟灭的希望可以重新点燃。不论如何，我们仍然要感激生活的改变，因为不久末日来临，就不在有任何改变了。 Recapturing the past is a tricky business.While mos

41、t memories are simply souve nirs of a happier time, others canbe quite deadly。 回顾过去不是件容易事，其中大部分是关于快乐时光的记忆，也有的可能是致命的。 In everyhousewifes closet, theres an article of clothing that tells you moreabout its owner than she would want you to know. It might be a T-shirtthat she despises but wears without c

42、omplaint. Perhaps its somelingerie, she knows isnt hers, but refuses to discuss. Or a dressshe once loved, that she can no longer bear to look at this. You canlearn a lot about women f rom what they choose to wear. You can learneven more by what they choose to ta ke off, and who they take it offfor。

43、 每个主妇的衣橱里，满满的都是关于着装的文章，记载着主人很多不为人知的细节。也许是一件T恤，她很不喜欢，却毫无怨言的穿上；也许是一件内衣，她明知不是自己的，却拒绝提起；也许是一件她曾经非常喜欢的长裙，可如今却再也不想看见。是的，女人决定穿什么，会让你知晓很多，但是如果知道她愿意褪去什么，为谁褪去，你会更加了解她的。 Its so easy to spot the lonely ones.Theyre thepeople who tell stories to the ir plants, and whisper secrets to theirpets, and have arguments

44、with their TV, and the loneliest of all arethe ones who talk to people who are no longer the re。 孤单的身影总是随处可见。他们向自己的盆栽倾诉心事，向自己的宠物分享秘密，和自己的电视机争吵不休，但最孤单的则是这样一类人，他们向亡者倾诉。 Passion. Its a force so potent we still remember it long after itsfaded away . A drive so alluring it can push us to the arms ofunexp

45、ected lovers. A sensat ion so overwhelming it can knock down wallswe built to protect our hearts. A f eeling so intense it resurfaceseven though we try so hard to keep it buried. Y es, of all emotions,passion is the one that gives us a reason to live and an e xcuse tocommit all sorts of crimes。 激情，就

46、算它在逝去很久以后，仍是让人如此难以忘记。它是如此强烈的诱惑，把我们推到意想不到的爱人怀中；它是无法抗拒的感情，击垮了我们修筑起来的保护心灵的高墙；它是那尽管我们如此努力的埋藏，却仍浮出水面的炙热情感。是的，在所有的情绪中，激情给了我们生活下去的理由，却也给我们了犯下各种罪刑的借口。 Power, its the type of thing most people dont think about,until its taken a way. Whether its the political power of the many,ora lovers influence over j ust

47、one. We all want some sort of power inour lives, if only to give ourselves choices. Yes, to be withoutchoices, to feel utterly powerless, well.its a lot.like beingalone.in the dark。 能量，多数人平日里毫不在意，直到有一天猝然消逝才会察觉。不论是大众的政治权力，还是恋人间亲亲我我的影响。人生中我们都需要某种能量，哪怕只是给我们一些选择。是的，假如连选择都没有，假如连一丝能量都没有，那么在黑暗中，蔓延开来的，就是无边无

48、际的孤独。 Gossip-itsjust a harmless form of recreation. Its careless talk that deals inpolite fiction. Its nasty speculation thats based on not-so-politefact. H pw do we protect ourselves from the venomous sting pf such idlegoddip?The best way is to just tell the truth . 321 Anyone can end up avictim.injured by the actions of others .But whether the damage isinficted by a cunning ex-wife.or a blow delivered by
