摩登家庭第三季 第84期:欢度火鸡节

 Welcome, welcome, welcome! Happy turkey day! Hey, is that a new car? Yep! It's the best, isn't it? 欢迎，欢迎，热烈欢迎！欢度火鸡节哦！哇 你们买了辆新车啊？没错！是不是特棒？

I can't take my eyes off it. You shouldn't, either. 我的目光简直被钉在上面了。您也别往别处看了。

Are you okay, mami? 你还好吧，闺女？

I'm...I'm...Hey, guys! Now the party's started. Come on! 我，我，大家好啊！派对开始了。快进去吧！

How are you? - Good. -You disgust¹ me. Are you hungry? 最近好吗？-很好。-恶心死姐了。饿坏了吧？

Oh, good. It's still in one piece. You hit those potholes² pretty hard. It's like you didn't see 'em. 还好没散架。你都快把我建的洞穴弄塌方了。你难道没看见吗。

No, I saw 'em. 不，我看见了。

Can I be honest with you, Jay? I'm getting the sense that you're not the biggest fan of "Allegria"? 我能跟你说句实话吗，杰？我觉得你好像不那么喜欢我做的"阿雷古丽娜"？

You got a name for it now? Great. All right. Cards on the table? This is not your best work. Now look, don't get me wrong. 你还给它起了个名字？真棒。好吧，要我说实话吗？你可以做得更好的。听着，别会错意。

You're a talented kid. You're gonna be a big success in the world. But this...this is a swing and a miss. 你挺有才的。终有一天你会展翅翱翔。但这个，纯粹是瞎胡闹嘛。

Well, but my mom said it was-- - It's great, yeah, I know. But how did she say it? 不过妈说...... -你妈说很好，我知道。不过你注意到她的语气了吗？

What do you mean? 什么意思？

There's a big difference between "It's great," and "It's great." You hear that? "It's great," And "It's great." "很好"和"还好"简直是天壤之别。你听出来了吗"很好"和"还好"。

All I hear is a bunch³ of people telling me I'm great. 我只知道很多人都说我很有才。

And that's a problem, because a lot of times people will lie to you to protect your feelings, and that's not doing you any favors⁴. 这就是问题所在了，因为很多时候人们怕你伤不起，故意说谎骗你，那对你完全没好处的。

You get a lot farther⁵ in life if you know what you're good at and what you're not. Now you can handle that, right? 如果想走得更远就必须明白自己的优势和劣势所在。现在能接受了吗？

Yeah. - Of course you can. How you doing, honey? -I'm great. 恩。-就知道你可以的。你还好吧，亲爱的？-还好啦。

Okay, everybody, come on! Two minutes till dinner! Get ready! -Good! -All right! 好了，大伙儿，动起来！还有两分钟开伙！准备好哟！-好啊！-真棒！

Oh, wow, Manny. What have you got there? He made a centerpiece! 哇塞，曼尼。手上端的什么啊？他亲手做的餐桌装饰哦！

Oh, that's fantastic. - It's stunning⁶. -It's garbage. 真了不起。-令人震惊。-就是个垃圾。

No, no, no! What are you doing? It's so beautiful! Stop the lies. Jay told me the truth. 别，别，别啊！你干什么呀？多漂亮啊！别骗我了。杰跟我说实话了。

What did you say? 你胡说些什么了？

I mentioned it wasn't his best effort. 我就说他可以做得更好啊。

He said it was a swing and a miss. 他说我那是瞎胡闹。

Why? ! Why do you say these things, Jay? ! It's like I married my mother! 为什么？为什么你要泼冷水啊，杰？！你简直跟我老妈一模一样！

Jay, why would you do that? -Because he's a Pritchett. 杰，你为何那样啊？-他们家人都这德行。

But don't let these negative nellies drag you down, Manny, because one day you could have a trillion-dollar idea that the people who supposedly love you most-- - 不过别被那些小人打击到，曼尼，总有一天你会想出个点石成金的创意，那些理应最爱你的人......

Okay, Phil! That's it. Go get the head-scratcher. 够了，菲尔！别说了。去拿你的头部按摩仪吧。

The real head-scratcher, "Tm"? 真正的挠头仪，"不求人"吗？

Go get it, and let everybody else decide how many trillions I've cost you. 去拿过来，让大伙儿瞧瞧我耽误了你挣多少金子。

Way ahead of you. 多到你想都不敢想。
