Well, actually there's this boy Evan that I really like, but, um...

这个嘛，我看上了个男生叫埃文，但是...

I found out something kind of disturbing about him. He's into pokeo.

他的有些事让我很是郁闷。他爱玩口袋游戏王。

Pokeo? That thing Gabe likes? Well, honey, what would you see in a guy like that?

口袋游戏王？就是盖比爱玩的那个？宝贝，你看上他哪点了？

Well, this is Evan at a swim meet.

看，这是埃文游泳比赛时候的照片。

Yeah, that explains that. Well, honey, no one's perfect. Everyone has their flaws.

好呀，这倒解释了很多疑问。宝贝，人无完人。每个人都有瑕疵。

You think I was thrilled when I found out your father was into bugs¹?

你觉着当我发现你爸是灭虫的后很兴奋吗？

But you got over it?

但你熬过去了吗？

Yeah, that's what I did-- got over it. Look, honey, relationships are about compromise.

是的，那就是我所做的，熬过去。听着，宝贝，恋爱意味着宽容对方。

If you really like this guy, try being interested in things he's interested in.

On my second date with your father I threw out three facts about bark beetles².

在我和你爸第二次约会的时候我对他侃侃而谈了三个有关树皮甲虫的知识。

Ha ha, the man was mine. Well, I've taken up enough of your time.

哈哈，他就被我降服了。好了，我已经占用你足够多的时间了。

Mom, didn't you get poked³ in the other eye?

老妈，你不是另外的那只眼睛受伤了吗？

No no, it was-- it was this eye.

不不不，就是这只眼睛。

I'm pretty sure it was the other one.

No no no no. Oh gosh, let mama rest, dear. Let mama rest.
