摩登家庭第六季 第209期:我们家要出大科学家

 Okay, Gloria, just make sure Jay doesn't find out. 歌洛莉亚，确保别让杰发现。

Oh. Boy. I just heard that. You probably think there's something between me and Gloria. Relax. 天呐。我刚刚听到。你该误会我和歌洛莉亚有情况了吧。别紧张。

I couldn't be more relaxed if I was in a coma¹. 我昏迷的时候都没有现在这么放松。

Jay's grill² was delivered. She's keeping it under wraps so I can be there when he sees it! 杰的烤架刚刚送到。她把烤架藏起来，等我到的时候再给他看！

Oh, my God! I just got accepted into Caltech. 天呐！我刚被加州理工录取了。

You did? ! 真的吗？！

That is incredible³! We're gonna have a famous scientist in the family! 太棒了！我们家要出大科学家了！

Uh, not that there's any shame in learning a trade. Air conditioners are always gonna break. 学一门实在的手艺也没什么可耻的。空调总是会坏掉的。

Eh, I looked into it. It's a lot of classes. 我查过了。要上的课太多了。

Honey, that is unbelievable. 亲爱的，真是不可思议。

It's hardly unbelievable. Super-smart kid, super-smart school. I never doubted you. 没什么不可思议的。超厉害小孩，上超厉害学校。我从不怀疑你。

That must feel great. 一定感觉很棒。

Yep. Pretty great. 对啊，棒极了。

What was that? 这是怎么回事？

I think that was my fault. 我觉得是我的错。

Me too. Why? 我也觉得。为什么？

I do this all the time. She does these amazing things, and I'm so used to it, I don't even make a big deal over Caltech. 我总是这样。她这么了不起，而我却习以为常了，被加州理工录取我都没太当回事。

I got excited. Doesn't that count? 我这么兴奋，这还不算吗？

Well, honey, you get excited over everything. You're a born cheerleader. 亲爱的，什么事都会让你兴奋。你天生就是个啦啦队长。

I just need to make a really big fuss⁴ over Alex today. That's all. 我今天要给艾丽克斯好好宣传庆祝一下。就这样。

I know -- you're upset because I said that you were a born -- 我知道，你不爽因为我说你天生是个...

There's no such thing as a born cheerleader. It takes hard work and sacrifice. 没有什么天生的啦啦队长。刻苦训练，作出大量牺牲才能当上的。

You know what a human pyramid is without hours of training? 10 obituaries⁵. 你知道没有充分训练就跳人体金字塔会怎么样吗？10条人命就没了。
