这次我没有用救生梯哦，慢慢来嘛。那你为什么在看A片?

从我早前的观察看来你不需要再做资料搜集了啊。

Dan: I can't talk about this with you.

我不能跟你聊这个。

Vanessa: I'm curious,though,about the change in your attitude because may I remind you that in your pale, romantic, tortured³ days, you'd wax⁴ on and I quote that sex is meaningful, like art,and you don't rush art.

可是我对你态度的转变很好奇。请容我提醒你在你那青涩，浪漫，痛苦的岁月里。你总是很说激动地说，我引用一下：“性是很有意义的事，就像艺术，是急不来的。”

Dan: That was in, uh, 2005. I was more idealistic then.I was much younger and there wasn't an actual girl who wanted to have sex with me.

那是在，呃...... 2005年，我那时还比较理想主义，那时太年轻了，而且当时也没有女孩要跟我上床。

噢，你能不能......

我的朋友Dan。

Dan: Please not turn my sex life into a country song?

拜托不要把我的性生活变成，乡村歌曲好吗?

Vanessa: It's okay. I'm sure Serena knows what to do what with her vast experiences with boarding school professors, pamplonian bullfighters, best friends' boyfriends...

没关系，我想Serena，肯定知道该怎么做，她有那么多经验，和寄宿学校的教授和潘普洛纳的斗牛士啦，和好朋友的男朋友啦......

Dan: That's enough now.You can go, please.

够了，你可以走了。

Vanessa: But if it were me with you, I'd want you to hide Cedric, maybe get some candles and replace the football sheets.But... take it or leave it.
