《绝望的主妇》精讲87

Voice-Over: It was morning in suburbia--a time for women to attend to their husbands' needs. And while Tom Scavo's wife was setting¹ out the sports section, and Carlos Solis' wife was removing lint² from his suit...And Roy Bender's wife was cleaning his dentures...Paul Young's wife was resting because she had already attended to her husband's needs...all night long.

旁白：郊区的早晨往往是女人们照料丈夫的时间：汤姆·斯加沃的妻子为他翻开体育版新闻；卡洛斯·索利斯的妻子给他掸去西装上的线头；罗伊·班德的妻子替他清洗假牙；保罗·杨的妻子则在休息，因为她已经伺候了她的丈夫一整夜。
