打工姐妹花第二季 第99期:给安迪看杂志

 Hey, Andy. Hi, candy. 你好，安迪。你好，糖果。

Did you see it? Did you see the new Martha Stewart Living? 你看到了吗？你看了新一期的《玛莎生活杂志》了吗？

Oh, sorry, no. I still have to get through my Glamour¹ and Modern Bride. 抱歉，没有。我还没看完本期《魅力》跟《新娘》女性杂志呢。

And I had sisters, so I'm allowed to know those names. 我有姐姐，所以知道那些杂志名不为过。

"A Williamsburg must-have." Nice. "威廉斯堡必尝好滋味"。不错啊。

You know I feel the same way about you. 我一直觉得你也是。

Aw, cute, but it really doesn't mean anything unless it's in a blurb². 真会说话，不过除非上了报章杂志不然不算数。

I couldn't wait to show this to you. I'm so glad you were here late doing inventory³. 我都等不及要拿给你看呢。真庆幸你还在这里加班整理存货。

Yeah, you know, it's the weirdest⁴ thing. 是啊，说来也怪。

The only thing I can't account for is one missing Elvis Pez dispenser, Max. 我唯一不知道去哪里的就是一个猫王的糖果盒，麦克斯。

Um, I don't know what you're talking about, but... Thank you very much. 我不知道你在说什么，但...非常感谢。

Can we please get back to the blurb? 我们能回到宣传这个话题吗

Sorry. You're right. I should have made a bigger deal about it. 抱歉，你说得对。我应该更重视这件事。

It's just I've been a little freaked out. We had some big drama here today. 只是我有点被吓到了。这里今天发生了件大事。

Drama in a candy store? 小糖果屋能发生什么"大事"？

Did the yogurt-covered craisins finally realize how stupid they are and commit mass suicide⁵? 是不是被酸奶裹着的葡萄干终于意识到自己是多么愚蠢，然后集体自杀了？

No, but seriously they pulled some bodies out of the closed-down soup kitchen across the way tonight. 不，不过说真的，今晚他们从对面的施粥坊运出几具尸体。

So now we're completely off the blurb? 所以现在完全不聊宣传这事了吗？

Some guys broke in. A bunch of people got shot. Apparently⁶, it was a drug deal gone wrong. 有些不明人士闯进去。然后一堆人被乱枪打死。显然是毒品交易谈不拢。

Oh, my God. That's horrible. I know. Why can't a drug deal ever go right? 天啊，太可怕了。就是啊。为什么毒品交易总是谈不拢呢？

Hey, they said it was a real bloodbath. 听人说当时血肉横飞啊。

I want to see it! 我要去看！

Oh, okay, so I'm closing the magazine then? 好吧，我得合上杂志了是吗？
