奢华的幻想

字幕原文

She dreamed of silent hallways hung with Oriental tapestries, 她梦想着那些挂着东方织锦挂毯的安静长廊，

lit by tall bronze lamps. 由高高的青铜立灯照亮。

She dreamed of elegant drawing rooms and perfumed little parlors, 她梦想着雅致的客厅、飘着暗香的小沙龙，

made for afternoon chats with famous men whom every woman envied. 适合在下午和那些人人羡慕的名流闲聊。

At dinner, sitting at the round table with its three-day-old tablecloth, 吃晚饭时，坐在铺着三天没换的桌布的圆桌前，

her husband would lift the lid of the soup pot and declare happily, 丈夫揭开汤锅盖子，高兴地喊道：

"Ah, a good stew! “啊，好香的炖肉！

I don't know anything better than that!" 没有什么比这更美味的了！”

And she would dream of fine dinners, 而她脑子里想的却是考究的晚宴、

shining silver, and delicate fish on beautiful plates. 闪闪发亮的银器，以及精美瓷盘里盛着的鲜嫩鱼肉。

She had no gowns, no jewels, nothing. 她没有华美的礼服，没有首饰，什么都没有。

And those were the only things she loved. 可她偏偏就只喜欢这些。

She had a rich friend from school, 她有个上学时认识的有钱朋友，

but she no longer wanted to visit her, 但她再也不想去拜访人家了，

because she suffered so much afterward. 因为每次回来她都难受得不得了。

Envy is a guest that eats at your table every single night. 嫉妒就像个甩不掉的食客，每天晚上都赖在你的餐桌旁。

Then one evening, her husband came home looking very pleased, 直到有一天晚上，丈夫满脸喜色地回到家，

holding a large envelope. 手里拿着一个大信封。
