I will not apologize for loving our daughter. 我不会为爱我们的女儿而道歉。

I'm not criticizing³. I'm not only criticizing, but we did talk about giving Lily a little more independence. Yeah,  没错，我不是在批评你。我不只是在批评你，我的意思是我们要让莉莉更独立一些。

which is why we put her in preschool. 所以我们才把她送去幼儿园的啊。

Yes, but you can't bear to leave her there. You always pick her up early. 对，但你却舍不得把她留在那儿。你总是早早地去接她。

That is ridiculous. 没有的事。

Okay. Okay. Lily, honey, Did daddy pick you up early from preschool today? 好。好。莉莉，亲爱的，今天爸爸提前去幼儿园接你了吗？

No. -Case closed. 没有。-"就此结案"。

But do I coddle her more than any other loving parent? 但说我过于溺爱她远超过其他慈母仁父？

It's possible. And for Lily's sake⁵, I should probably work on that. 也许是吧。为了莉莉，我应该少一点溺爱。

No, you calm down! This is how I talk when somebody accuses my Manny of stealing. 不，你给我冷静！有人指责我的曼尼偷东西我就这样说话。

Who is that? - It's the principal⁶. He's saying that Manny stole some girl's locket. 是谁？-是校长。他说曼尼偷了个什么女生的小吊坠。
