《绝望的主妇》精讲61

护士：没什么。我只是说索里斯先生是A型血孩子生父的可能性是...0。

加比：你想说是我出轨了？

Nurse: Oh,Mrs.Solis,can I talk to you?

Gaby: If this is about juanita and the dessert cart, I told you not to leave it unattended.

Nurse: No,I was reviewing her chart, And I realized we still had a couple of questions. Is she allergic¹ to any medications? Uh,not that I'm aware of.

Gaby: Okay. All her vaccinations² up-To-Date? Yes.

Nurse: And how old was she when you adopted her?

Gaby:I know it's hard to believe that the little acorn³ gave birth to the mighty⁴ oak, but believe me,I did.

Nurse: Okay. Maybe I'm confused,but the other day when we talked about possible blood transfusions⁵, you told me you and your husband were type-O.

Gaby:Yeah,we are. So?

Nurse: W- Well,your daughter is type-A. Two o's can't have an "a." Never mind.

Gaby: Whoa,whoa,whoa. What... what was that? What was that "oh. Never mind"?

Nurse: It's none of my business.

Gaby: No,no,tell me. What are you implying?

Nurse: Nothing. I'm simply stating that the odds⁶ of Mr.Solis Being's being the biological father of a type-A baby are roughly...nil⁷.

Gaby: Are you suggesting I cheated on him?

Nurse: I'm simply stating that the odds of Mr.Solis Being the biological father are...

Gaby: Listen,nursie. I know you spend your days emptying bedpans. And shaving the groins of senior citizens, but there's no drama here. I've been faithful to my husband. I have nothing to hide. Give me that.

护士：索里斯女士，能跟你谈谈吗？

加比：如果是因为胡安妮塔又吃光了甜点，那不怪我，让你看好了的。

护士：不是啦，我在核对她的表格，我发现还有些问题，她有对什么药物过敏吗？

加比：没有吧。

护士：疫苗都按时接种了吗？

加比：是的。

护士：你收养她时她几岁呢？

加比：我这么小巧，生个胖娃，确实不可思议，但相信我，是我生的。

护士：好吧。大概是我搞错了，但是前几天我们在讨论输血的时候，你说你们夫妻的血型是O。

加比：是啊。怎么了？

护士：你女儿是A型血，俩O型血生不出A型血。没事儿了。

加比：等等，什么意思？这句"没事儿了" 是什么意思？

护士：这不关我的事。

加比：不会，告诉我，你想说什么？

护士：没什么。我只是说索里斯先生是A型血孩子生父的可能性是...0。

加比：你想说是我出轨了？

护士：我只是说索里斯先生是孩子生父的可能性...

加比：听着，小护士，我知道你整天就是倒倒便盆，给老人们剃剃毛，但少来八卦我解闷。我对老公很忠诚，没什么好遮遮掩掩的。把那个给我。
