《绝望的主妇》精讲56

Voice-over：Bad news travels quickly, and when it arrives, we have to find a way to deal with it. If our husbands tell us they've moved on...we look for projects to distract¹ us. If the bills start to stack up...We find ways to earn extra cash. If we're told a secret too terrible to share...We learn to keep it to ourselves. But we must remember the bad news that's delivered can sometimes be good news...In disguise².

Woman Prisoner: That the guy you were talkin' about? The one that killed your sister?

Felicia Tillman: It certainly is.

Woman Prisoner: He looks like a killer³. It's a shame they let him out.

Felicia Tillman: As it turns out, it's all for the best. Paul can now receive the punishment he's entitled⁴ to.

Woman Prisoner: What do you mean?

Felicia Tillman: Just between us girls, Paul Young will be dead within six months.

Woman Prisoner: How you gonna make that happen? You're in here at least two years.

Felicia Tillman: True, but you see, Paul Young doesn't have a friends on that street. I do.

旁白：坏事总是不胫而走，它降临的时候，我们必须想办法应对：如果丈夫告诉我们 他们已经不念旧情了，我们就应当追寻新的目标；如果账单堆积不下，我们就另辟蹊径去赚钱；如果我们得知一个无法分享的噩耗，我们就把它深埋心间；但我们必须记住，不经传来的噩耗，有时也可能是...喜讯。

女囚犯：是你说起的那个人吗，那个杀了你姐姐的人？

费利西亚.蒂尔曼: 就是他。

女囚犯：他看起来就像个杀手，放他出去真可惜。

费利西亚.蒂尔曼: 事实上，这一切再好不过了，保罗现在就能受到他应得的惩罚了。

女囚犯：你什么意思？

费利西亚.蒂尔曼:我只告诉你，保罗·杨在6个月之内，必死无疑。

女囚犯：你怎么办得到呢？你要在这儿关至少2年。

费利西亚.蒂尔曼:真的，你等着瞧吧，保罗·杨在那条街上没有任何朋友，但我有。
