《绝望的主妇》精讲130

原来Gaby根本没去做心理治疗，而是去美容SPA去了，卡洛斯知道后大为光火...

Carlos: Hello.

Maria: Hi. This is maria. I'm just calling to confirm gabrielle solis for her 1:00 appointment.

Carlos: Yep. She's on her way.

Maria: Terrific. You wouldn't happen to know what kind of treatment she wants today,do you?

Carlos: Uh,I don't know. Whatever you've been doing seems to be working.

Maria: Well,on monday she got the seaweed wrap, wednesday the hot stone massage¹. We just want to make sure she takes full advantage of our entire spa menu.

Carlos:Oh,she is taking full advantage,all right.

Gaby: Oh,good,sandro. There you are. I think we should start on my shoulders today. Mm. That's good. Maybe a little lighter³ on the pressure. No,no. Lighter. Okay,maybe let's not do the shoulders.

Carlos: Okay. How about the glutes?

Gaby: Carlos? What are you doing here?

Carlos: What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in therapy.

Gaby: This is therapy! Didn't you see the sign? "massage therapy," "aromatherapy."

Carlos: I talked to Dr. Wyner. She said that you haven't been back since the first session. Why not?

Gaby: Well... I just don't think I really need it. I mean,this is really helping⁴.

Carlos: No. This is ignoring the problem.

Gaby: You know,the way you say "problem," you make it seem a whole lot worse than it actually is.

Carlos: Gaby,you almost got us killed pulling a doll out of the car.

Gaby: Fine. If it'll get you off my ass², i'll make an appointment for next week.

Carlos:Now get your clothes on. We're leaving.

Gaby: God,now I'm so tense. I'll give you 100 bucks⁵ if you work on my shoulders for ten minutes.

Carlos: That's for free.

卡洛斯：喂！

玛丽安：你好，我是玛丽安，我想确认下Gabrielle Solis一点的预约。

卡洛斯：没错，她正在路上。

玛丽安：很好，那您知道她今天要进行何种治疗吗？

卡洛斯：不知道，管它是什么，反正貌似挺有效。

玛丽安：周一是海藻浴，周三做了热石按摩，我们只想确认她要做全套的SPA理疗吧？

卡洛斯：嗯，她确实是整得挺全乎！

加比：Sandro，你总算来了。我今天想揉揉肩，舒服，力稍微小点，不不，轻点，好吧，那就别揉肩了。

卡洛斯：那揉屁屁怎么样？

加比：Carlos，你在这儿干嘛？

卡洛斯：那你呢，你应该去接受治疗的。

加比：这就是治疗，没看见牌子？"按摩理疗" 、"香料理疗"。

卡洛斯：我问过Wyner医生，她说第一次之后你就再也没去过，为什么不去？

加比：我觉得我根本不需要，这个很有效果。

卡洛斯：不，这是在回避问题。

加比：知道吗？你一口一个"问题"。整得跟多严重的似的。

卡洛斯：Gaby，为抢个娃娃出来，你差点把我们都害死。

加比：好吧，如果能让你消停点儿，我预约下周去好了。

卡洛斯：现在，穿上衣服，跟我走。

加比：老天，我现在全身发紧，你给我按10分钟的肩，我给你100块。

卡洛斯：这个免费赠送。
