《绝望的主妇》精讲94

加比：当然，你是最懂墨西哥风情的，你念R时会卷舌，你还把足球叫做橄榄球。

卡洛斯：我为民族文化感到自豪，而你竟然取笑我？

Voice-over: Thanksgiving--it's a time for defrosting turkeys...For visiting families...For performing in pageants¹. Thanksgiving is also a time for shopping...

Gaby: Well, don't just sit there scratching yourself. Help me.

Voice-over: And stress.

Carlos:Frijoles, tamales? Babe, I think you got the wrong bags. Where are the yams and the cranberry² sauce?

Gaby: Hector and Carmen have a big Mexican dinner every Thanksgiving. Since we invited them over, I told them I'd serve their favorite dishes, like...Chorizo stuffing, bollitos, Jalapeno corn bread. I thought it'd be nice for Grace. It's our first holiday we're together as a family.

Carlos:That was very sweet of you.

Gaby: Yeah. So good luck. We eat at 2:00.

Carlos:Wait, wait. I'm cooking?

Gaby: Yeah. You're the one who knows about Mexican stuff. You roll your r's, you call soccer football...

Carlos:You're mocking me because I'm proud of my culture?

Gaby: No! I'm celebrating it. And there's two bags of your culture right there.

旁白：感恩节，人们解冻火鸡；款待远道而来的家人；参加游行表演；感恩节也是购物的时节。

加比：别在那呆坐着了，过来帮帮我。

旁白：以及紧张的时节。

卡洛斯：菜豆，玉米粉蒸肉，宝贝，我还以为你拿错袋子了！番薯和小红莓果酱到哪去了？

加比：赫克多和卡门每逢感恩节都会吃一顿墨西哥大餐，既然我们邀请他们过来，我告诉他们我会做他们爱吃的菜，比如西班牙辣香肠、蔬菜杂烩、墨西哥胡椒玉米面包。我想这对格雷斯一定很不错，这是我们作为家人一起过的第一个感恩节。

卡洛斯：你真贴心。

加比：好，祝你好运，我们两点开饭。

卡洛斯：等等，等等，要我掌勺吗？

加比：当然，你是最懂墨西哥风情的，你念R时会卷舌，你还把足球叫做橄榄球。

卡洛斯：我为民族文化感到自豪，而你竟然取笑我？

加比：不，我是要庆祝它，那儿有整整两袋你民族文化的体现。赶紧开始吧！
