I've had this listing for two months, and I can't move it because of the statue across the street. 这栋房子已经挂牌两个月了，但因为街对面那座雕塑一直卖不出去。

We've got to do something about this. It's obscene². 我们得想点办法，真的太淫秽了。

I tried. - Yeah, the guy's a jerk⁴. 我试过了。-那家伙是个混蛋。

I told him how much it bothered us. It only seemed to please him. 我跟他说这对我们造成了多大的困扰。结果他好像很高兴。

I'm not gonna lie -- It makes me feel bad about my body. 我说实话...那雕塑让我对我的身材很不自信。

I don't feel comfortable letting my kids play out here. 这害得我不放心让我的孩子在外面玩。

Our kids. - Paul, please. 是我们的孩子。-保罗，拜托。

The statue. 那座雕塑。

Ohh, God, we hate that thing. 天呐，我们也很讨厌那玩意儿。

You do? 真的吗？

Porn belongs on a big screen in the bedroom or your phone in the bathroom. 色情作品应该在卧室的大电视里播放或是浴室里的手机上。

Kids, go play. 孩子们，去玩。

Well...what are you gonna do? 要怎么办呢？

Well...guess we'll just get used to ignoring it. 这个嘛...看来我们只能习惯无视它了。
