爱抱怨的妻子

字幕原文

"Anything in the paper, dear?" “报纸上有什么新鲜事吗，亲爱的？”

asked Mrs. Bell. 贝尔太太问道。

"A couple of weddings," said her husband. “有两场婚礼，”她丈夫说。

"Our friend Mr. Granby got married." “我们的朋友格兰比先生结婚了。”

"Granby? “格兰比？

Why didn't you let me guess? 你怎么不让我猜猜？

And he's no friend of mine. 再说了，他才不是我的朋友。

I couldn't stand him from day one." 我从第一天起就烦透他了。”

"Well, I hope you'll visit his new wife anyway." “好吧，但我还是希望你能去拜访一下他的新婚妻子。”

"Certainly not. “门儿都没有。

Who is she?" 新娘是谁？”

"Emma Cooke." “艾玛·库克。”

"Emma Cooke? “艾玛·库克？

Impossible. 不可能。

She was born to be an old maid." 她生来就是当老姑娘的命。”

"Actually, I think she'll make a very good wife." “其实，我觉得她会是个好妻子的。”

"Oh? “哦？

And how would you know? 你怎么知道？

You've barely met her." 你统共也没见过她几面。”

"True, my dear. “这倒是，亲爱的。

That's a fair point." 你说得有道理。”

"Don't you dare be sarcastic with me." “你少跟我阴阳怪气的。”

"I wasn't! “我没有！

I meant it." 我是认真的。”

"Oh, I see. “呵，我明白了。

So you think you can't tell what a woman's really like until after the wedding. 所以你觉得，一个女人到底怎么样，非得结了婚才能看出来。

Speaking from experience, are we? 拿自身经验说话呢，是吧？

You regret marrying me." 你后悔娶我了。”

"What? “什么？

I wasn't even thinking about you." 我根本就没在想你啊。”

"Exactly. “可不是嘛。

You never think about me anymore." 你现在心里压根儿就没有我了。”

And so it went, round and round, 就这样翻来覆去、没完没了地吵，

until she finally announced she'd go and visit Mrs. Granby after all, 直到她最后终于宣布，自己无论如何还是得去拜访一下格兰比太太，

purely out of curiosity. 纯粹是出于好奇。

Poor Mr. Bell hadn't done anything wrong. 可怜的贝尔先生什么也没做错。

He'd simply walked into an argument someone was determined to have. 他不过是不小心撞上了一场某人铁了心要找茬的争吵。

Some people don't stumble across things to be upset about. 有些人不是碰巧遇上了烦心事，

They go looking for them. 而是成心自己找气生。
