Okay, how am I supposed to eat with a uterus staring me in the face?

有张子宫图在眼前晃悠，我怎么吃的下？

Oh, Gabby, I didn’t know you got a sonogram. Let me see. Oh!

哦，Gabby，我们都不知道你去做过B超了。让我看看。

Honey, you need to put that in a frame or something.

最好给照片镶个框。

I don’t think so.

我才不呢。

Oh come on, that’s a picture of your baby. You can’t tell me you’re not a little bit excited.

别这样，那可是你孩子的照片。你不可能一点都不兴奋吧。

Fine, I’m pregnant. Whee! Now come on, we are supposed to be cheering up Susan.

好吧，我怀孕咯，哈哈哈。别说这个了，我们来是要安慰Susan的。

This is a time of crisis and I think you need another scoop¹ of mint chocolate chip.

现在是危机时刻，给你再来一勺薄荷冰淇淋。

Thanks.

谢谢。

Susan. Why are you so eerily² calm? Mike Delfino just dumped you.

Susan，你怎么出奇地冷静？Mike Delfino刚刚甩了你。

The Susan Mayer I know would be a blubbering mess right now.

我所认识的susan mayer现在应该痛哭流涕才对呀。

Oh, come on, trot³ her on out. She’s fun to watch.

给我们讲讲嘛，看她这样真有意思。

Actually, I think I’m starting to feel pretty Zen about the whole thing.

其实我倒觉得这事应该看开一点。

Well, I think Mike will calm down in a couple of days and come to his senses.

Mike需要冷静一下，过几天他应该会明白的。

No, I came between the man and his son. There’s a huge betrayal. I, I can’t even blame him for hating me.

不是，我阻碍一个男人和他的儿子见面。这简直是天大的背叛。他这么恨我，我不怪他。

But Zach was starting to obsess⁴ with Julie again.

但是Zach又那么迷恋Julie。

Exactly. You’re a mother trying to protect her child. It’s a natural impulse.

是呀，身为人母，保护自己的孩子是母性的本能。

Over the past couple of days, I gave myself a long hard look in the mirror and I did not like what I saw.

这几天我自己也好好照了照镜子，实在不喜欢现在这副嘴脸。

I’m with you. Carry on.

我支持你，继续！

I just think if I start acting⁵ like an adult for once, maybe, who knows, somewhere down the line, Mike and I at least can be friends.

我只是想如果我表现的成熟稳重一点，也许...谁又知道呢？以后Mike和我至少能作个朋友吧。

All right, you’re not Zen. You’re numb⁶.

说了这么半天，你这哪是看开了。分明是受刺激变麻木了嘛。

I’m fine. You got any pie?

我没事，有派吃吗？

没做。

I can wait.
