摩登家庭第六季 第219期:以医生的口吻表白

 Doctor! I need your help. I've been drinking this tequila, and I cannot find the worm¹. I think I just swallow it. 医生，我需要你的帮助。我在喝这瓶龙舌兰酒，可我找不到蠕虫了。我想可能是被我吞了。

That's very serious. That worm could eat your insides in a matter of hours. 那很严重。蠕虫在几小时内就能吞食你的内脏。

Well, there must be something she can do. 一定有什么办法可以抢救吧。

Drink pickle² juice. The worm cannot survive in pickle juice. 喝腌黄瓜汁。蠕虫在腌黄瓜汁里无法存活。

Is this enough? - Just. 这些够了吗？-刚好。

Thank you, doctor. I'm feeling better already. 谢谢你，医生，我已经感觉好多了。

You got lucky. 你很幸运。

The only other treatment is to freeze the worm to death by lowering³ the body temperature with an ice bath. 另一个治疗办法是泡在冰水浴缸里使体温降低从而将蠕虫冻死。

I feel it inside of me. 我觉得它在我体内蠕动。

No. I think it's inside of me. I knew we should've poured the tequila in your bellybutton. That's why they have these systems in place. 不，我觉得在我身体里。我就知道应该把龙舌兰倒进你肚脐里的。这些规矩是有存在的道理的。

I heard an expensive car pull out. I figured you were in it. 我听见一部昂贵的轿车开走了。我以为你在里面呢。

Oh, yeah, that was Will going to the hospital. I just came to get my dress. 是啊，威尔回医院去了。我只是来拿我的裙子。

Um, he gave me this card, but he writes like a doctor. Can you read it for me? 他给我一张卡片，不过字迹太潦草了。你能给我读一下吗？

No. That sounds way too personal. 不，那是你们的隐私。

Ohh, come on! I visited you in the hospital. 拜托，我都去医院看你了。

Just do it! 读吧！

Nah, I'm okay. 不了。

Can you just see if you can read it? I can't. 你看看能不能认出来嘛？我看不懂。

I'd rather not. 还是算了。

Can you even read? Can you please try? - I'll try. Yeah, no, I'll try. 你识字吗？试一下好吗？-好吧，我试试。

Thank you. - You're welcome. 谢谢你。-不客气。

Dear Haley, I know how eyes work, but I never knew how they sparkled⁴ until I met you. 亲爱的海莉，我知道眼睛如何转动，但直到遇见你我才知道它们有多么闪耀。

I know how hearts work, but I never knew they could sing until I met you. Love, Will. 我知道心脏如何跳动，但直到遇见你我才知道它会歌唱。爱你的威尔。

Oh, crap. 该死。

Really? I thought it was kind of sweet. The doctor part, then it circled around back to you. 是吗？我觉得写得挺甜蜜的。以医生的口吻来写他对你的感觉。

Why does he have to be so into me, you know? We met like two weeks ago. A gold heart! Really? 他为什么要这么喜欢我呢？我们两周前才认识。心形金项链！开什么玩笑？
