I think, over time, they started to resent⁴ each other, and instead of talking about the things that bothered them, they kept it bottled up, and the hate just grew. 日子一天天过去，他们开始互相怨恨。他们没有好好解决两人之间的矛盾，反而将其压在心底，怨恨日渐加深。

It's a shame they spent all that time unhappy. But sometimes, there's muffin you can do about it. You get it, right? 他们在一起的日子一直不开心，真是太可怜了。不过有时候你也无能为"松饼"。我的笑话很逗的，是吧？

You know those confounded things make me dizzy. 你知道那些转来转去的事物会让我头晕。

Who told you to keep going around? 谁让你一直跟着门转。

There was a large plant in the lobby⁶. It kept looking like the outside. 大厅里有一株很大的植物，老让我觉得那是外边。

Okay, listen, when Leonard comes out, he is not gonna feel great, so, please don't give him a hard time. 听我说，莱纳德出来的时候他肯定会不太好受，所以请别让他更难受。

Penny has a good point. This is like the man in the supermarket with the goiter on his neck. Whatever you're thinking, just keep it to yourself. 佩妮说得对。他就像在超市里遇到的那个脖子上有甲状腺肿的人。不管你心里怎么想，不要说出来。
