《绝望的主妇》精讲81

加比：因为我很同情她，她家境并不富裕，而我们家财万贯。

胡安妮塔：罗西姑妈很穷，但每次她来，你都把首饰盒藏起来。

Gaby: Hi, sweetie. You and Grace have a good time?

Juanita: It was okay.

Gaby: What are you smiling about?

Juanita: I found out something about Grace today. She's a thief.

Gaby: What are you doing with that?

Juanita: She stole your necklace, so I stole it back.

Gaby: No! No! No! I mean... that's very sweet of you, but Grace didn't steal this. I gave it to her as a present.

Juanita: Why?

Gaby: Because... I felt sorry for her. You know, her family is poor, and we have so much.

Juanita: Aunt Rosie's poor, and you always hide your jewelry¹ box when she comes over.

Gaby: Yeah, well, Grace isn't a klepto with a meth habit.

Juanita: So do you want me to give it back?

Gaby: No. I'll take care of it. But now that I know you're good at getting things back, next time we're at aunt Rosie's, I'm missing gold earrings².

加比：甜心，你跟格雷斯玩得开心吗？

胡安妮塔：马马虎虎吧。

加比：你在笑什么？

胡安妮塔：我今天发现了格雷斯的小秘密，她是个小偷。

加比：你怎么拿着这项链？

胡安妮塔：她偷了你的项链，我又给偷回来了。

加比：不，不，不，你真是很贴心，但是格雷斯并没有偷，是我送给她的。

胡安妮塔：为什么？

加比：因为我很同情她，她家境并不富裕，而我们家财万贯。

胡安妮塔：罗西姑妈很穷，但每次她来，你都把首饰盒藏起来。

加比：格雷斯不是吸毒成瘾的盗窃狂。

胡安妮塔：那我还回去？

加比：不用，我来处理吧。现在我可知道了你很擅长索回东西，下次我们再去罗西姑妈家时，留意一下我那对金耳环。
