　　Chandler: You have every reason to be upset. We did lie. But only because we've been waiting and trying to have a baby for so long. Now we don't know how long it's gonna be before we can get another chance again.

　　钱德勒：你完全有理由生气。我们确实撒谎了。但这只是因为我们太久以来一直都在等待和努力有个孩子。现在我们也不知道，下一次机会还要等到何年何月。

　　Erica: Why don't you ask the reverend to pray on it?

　　埃里卡：你为什么不让牧师祈祷去呢？

　　Chandler: Erica, please. Just consider us. Ask them to see our file¹. Our last name's Bing. My wife's a chef² and I'm in advertising³.

　　钱德勒：埃里卡，求求你了。考虑一下我们吧。找他们要我们的档案看看。我们姓宾。我妻子是个厨师，我从事广告行业。

　　Erica: Yeah. I actually liked you guys. But it doesn't matter, because what you did was wrong

　　埃里卡：是。我其实挺喜欢你们的。但是这都无关紧要了，因为你们做的是不对的。

　　Chandler: But you did like us. And you should. My wife's an incredible⁴ woman. She's loving and devoted⁵ and caring. And don't tell her I said this but the woman's always right...

　　钱德勒：但是你确实喜欢我们俩啊。你也没有喜欢错。我妻子是个特别棒的女人。她有爱心，乐于奉献，非常关心别人。别告诉她我这么说了，但是她总是正确的……

　　I love my wife more than anything in this world. And I... It kills me that I can't give her a baby... I really want a kid. And when that day finally comes, I'll learn how to be a good dad. But my wife... she's already there. She's a mother... without a baby... Please?

　　我爱我妻子胜过这世上的任何事物。我……不能给她个孩子，我难过得要死……我真的想要个孩子。那一天最终到来的时候，我会学着当一个好爸爸。但是我妻子……她已经准备好了。她是个好妈妈……可是没有孩子……求求你了。
