《绝望的主妇》精讲129

加比看完心理医生回来，非常兴奋的告诉卡洛斯，自己非常喜欢这个治疗，并决定以后每周去三次，她软硬兼施地说服卡洛斯，答应每天送她。

Gaby: I love therapy¹.

Carlos: Really?

Gaby: Yeah. It's like a talk show, where I'm the guest and the only topic is me.

Carlos:So it's helping²? You talked to her about the doll?

Gaby: Ya-bup-bup-bup-bup! That is confidential³. First rule of therapy. Actually,first rule of therapy is no wine, but I'm gonna change that.

Carlos: I'm so glad this is working. I've been worried about you.

Gaby: It's exactly what I needed. In fact,I'm gonna be going three times a week-Mondays,thursdays,and fridays.

Carlos: Wow,that's a lot.

Gaby: Well,it was your idea. Oh,by the way,uh, you're gonna have to take over my carpools on mondays. That's okay,right?

Carlos: Sure. I guess I could move some things around.

Gaby: And no golf on thursdays, because you'll have to take juanita to ballet⁴.

Carlos: Gaby,I do business on the links.

Gaby: Do you want me to get better or not?

Carlos: Okay. Okay. I will cancel golf.

Gaby: Oh,and on friday,I have a gynecologist appointment.

Carlos: Gaby!

Gaby: That I need you to cancel. Wouldn't that be great,though?

加比：我喜欢死这个心理治疗了！

卡洛斯：真的吗？

加比：是呀，跟谈话节目似的，只有我一个嘉宾，话题都围着我转。

卡洛斯：还算有用哈，说娃娃的事了吗？

加比：停停停！话题是保密的，这是心理治疗的首要原则。实际上，首要原则是没有酒水，我得改掉这规矩。

卡洛斯：我真高兴心理治疗有用，我很担心你的。

加比：我真的需要这个治疗，我以后要每周都去三天，周一、周四、周五。

卡洛斯：你去得真勤！

加比：这可是你的主意。我想起来了，周一拼车需要你来了，没意见吧？

卡洛斯：没问题，我安排一下。

加比：周四不能打高尔夫，因为你得送胡安妮塔去跳芭蕾。

卡洛斯：加比，我要在球场上谈生意的。

加比：你还想让我好起来吗？

卡洛斯：好吧，好吧，我不打高尔夫球了。

加比：周五我要去看妇科医生。

卡洛斯：加比！

加比：我是想让你帮我取消啦？这样很好吧！
