打工姐妹花第二季 第123期:辞掉露丝

 Wow. You suck¹ at this too.. 哇，你贴东西也好烂。

Sorry I'm late. 抱歉我来迟了。

I was having a dream that I was sleeping in, then I woke up, and I was. 我做梦梦到了我睡过头，醒来之后，才发现真睡过头了。

Who's the boss? Tony Danza? 谁是老板？托尼·丹扎？

No, Max, who's the boss? 不，麦克斯，谁才是老板？

I am. Have a seat, Ruth. Here? Good call. 我才是。露丝，请坐。这吗？聪明的选择。

In addition to being a boss, I am also a waitress. 除了是一个老板，我也是个女服务员。

But when I do my job, I don't call people dumb². 但当我在工作时，我从不叫人白痴。

All right, I do, but at least it's to their face. 好吧，我是有叫人白痴，但我是当面叫。

Oh, you're talking about that thing? I meant Caroline. 你在说那件事啊？我叫的是卡洛琳啦。

No, I know you meant me, because I'm not dumb and neither is Caroline. 不，我知道你是说我，因为我不是白痴，卡洛琳也不白痴。

And one thing I figured out is that in business, maybe I have to be a little more Ruthless³. 而做生意我学到的一件事就是，有时候我得更铁石心肠。

Meaning no more Ruth. You're fired. 也就是没有露丝。你被炒了。

So, I'm not getting college credit⁴? 所以我弄不到大学学分了吗？

I'll probably get kicked out of school again, but no worries, right? 我大概又要被踢出学校了，不过没事啦，对吧？

I'm really proud of how you stuck up for yourself. 你站出来为自己说话，我真以你为荣。

You're fired. Sorry, I can't stop. 你也被炒了。抱歉，停不住了。

Look, Max. We're on our way. 你看，麦克斯。离梦想越来越近了。
