《IT狂人》精讲 29

Oh my God! Did you see that look? I have a dinner date with that man.

苍天呐！看到他那表情了吗？我要跟那个苦瓜脸男人共进晚餐。

If I'm not here tomorrow, I want you to call the police.

不会吧？你收到回复了？那条结尾写"狗类勿扰"的广告？没错。

Oh my God, brilliant! More money gone!

天哪，真背！我的钱又少了！

Well, now the money that Daniel lost wasn't really yours, was it? It would have been if I'd married him, Moss².

丹尼尔输的钱并不是你的，对吗？我要是跟他结婚，那就成我的了，莫斯。

I need a good restaurant. Maybe if he likes the food, he won't beat me to death with a shoe.

Haven't you got it yet? That's what I do: I lie...I lie and I lie and...I lie!

你还没明白吗？我能做的只有说谎、说谎、再说谎！

Well, I went to a good place recently. Nice atmosphere. Food's great. Really? Yes. Why?

好吧，我最近去了家好餐厅。环境优雅，食物美味。真的假的？当然是真的，怎么了？

Sorry, I just didn't have you down as a restaurant person.

抱歉，我只是没想到你居然也会下馆子。

I'm a restaurant person. Why wouldn't I be a restaurant person? Cheese string?

我当然会下馆子。我怎么就不能下馆子了？要来点芝士条吗？

No, thanks. What's this place called?
