摩登家庭第三季 第56期:看来你们见过我老婆了

 I've been working on that one since the first time I tried to fasten you into your car seat. I pinched your chunky little thigh¹. 我一直在寻求解决之道自从第一次帮你系安全带起就开始了。当时我把你绑的太紧了。

Even though you basically just called me fat. So...Is it really fun? What? No! 虽然你这是在间接说我胖。好了这真的很好玩吗？ 什么？不会吧！

We all struggle with limitations. Some we're willing to accept... 我们都纠结于为人之限。有一些我们愿意接受......

You know, I just wanna be home, reading on opposite ends of the sofa. 我现在只想回家，靠着沙发读点书。

And some we're not. 还有一些我们不愿接受。

I'm so embarrassed I did that. 我那样做太尴尬了。

I'm just so happy that that was all it was. 你只是做那个我们很欣慰。

Why? What'd you think I was doing? 怎么？你以为我在做什么？

It's never too late to grow in life. Oh, my god! 永葆童心也未尝不可。天啊!

"Thanks to our patented lengthenator, you can increase your height by up to 4 inches." 有了我们的专利助长器，您将最高能增高4英寸。

I can't believe he would spend $50 on this thing. 难以置信他居然花了50美元来买。

I know. He could've got a 2 year subscription² to "Playboy" For that. 就是嘛。这些钱都够他订两年的花花公子了。

He's not getting the "Playboy" Ever! Ow! He's a little boy! 他不会去订什么花花公子！他只是个小孩！

Wouldn't it be great if we woke up tomorrow and our car had found its way home? 等我们明早起来会不会发现我们的车已经回来了？

Yeah, I feel that's not the way it's gonna happen. 我觉得事情不会这么发展。

Happened on the farm one time. A tornado³ scooped⁴ up one of our calves⁵, dropped it who knows where. 我在农场就遇到过。一场龙卷风卷走了我们的一头牛犊，谁知道卷到哪去了。

Six months later, A full grown cow comes walking up the driveway, same markings, same moo. That night, we...We ate like kings. 可六个月后，一头成年牛沿着车道走回来了，一样的花纹，一样的叫声。那晚，我们......我们大餐了一顿。

Okay, I've told it before. 之前我说过这故事。

Oh, my gosh! It's our car! 我的天哪！那是我们的车！

I see you've met my wife. 看来你们见过我老婆了。
