《绝望的主妇》精讲36

[00:01.00]An odd thing happens when we die.

[00:03.58]Our senses vanish.

[00:05.38]Taste, touch, smell, and sound become a distant memory,

[00:09.17]but our sight --

[00:11.18]ah, our sight expands,

[00:13.80]and we can suddenly see the world we've left behind so clearly.

[00:17.47]Of course, most of what's visible to the dead could also be seen by the living,

[00:22.98]if they'd only take the time to look.

[00:26.19]Like my friend Gabrielle.

[00:28.19]I should have seen how unhappy she was, but I didn't.

[00:32.57]I only saw her clothes from Paris...

[00:35.87]and her platinum¹ jewelry²...

[00:39.70]and her brand-new diamond watch.

[00:43.00]Had I looked closer,

[00:44.88]I'd have seen that Gabrielle was a drowning woman

[00:47.59]desperately in search of a life raft.

[00:50.30]Luckily for her, she found one.

[00:53.97]Of course, Gabrielle only saw her young gardener

[00:56.80]as a way to infuse her life with a little excitement.

[01:01.68]But now she was about to discover just how exciting her life could get.
