「英语文化」美剧绝望主妇（3）身高只112厘米，这辈子能找到女朋友吗？
剧情背景
视频中的全职妈妈丽奈特开始慢慢回归职场，但她还是对刚请来的保姆放心不下，看来大人也有“分离焦虑”。
英文台词
Lynette: You’d better finish those Brussels sprouts and don’t think I can’t see them hidden under your macaroni.
Child: I hate Brussels’ Sprouts.
Lynette: Yeah, well, Brussels sprouts help you grow. You don’t wanna be short your whole life, do you? Here, look, you know what we’ll do? We’re gonna dip them in a little cheese. Here you go. Good, yummy. Fine, fine, be 3’8’’ the rest of your life. See if I care. Good luck finding your girlfriends.
Babysitter: Hey, didn’t you have a lunch today?
Lynette: I’m gonna cancel it. The boys are in rare form and you’re still finding your way.
Babysitter: Lynette, it’s been two days.
Lynette: I don’t wanna shock them by suddenly disappearing. You know, deep down they’re very sensitive.
Babysitter: They’ll be fine. Now go. Get out of here.
Lynette: You have my cell phone number. You call me if you need anything.
Babysitter: I will.
Lynette: OK. Hey, boys. Come here and give mama a three-bear hug.

台词译文
丽奈特：你最好把那些芽甘蓝吃完，别以为把它们藏在你的通心粉下面我就看不见。
孩子：我讨厌芽甘蓝。
丽奈特：是啊，嗯，球芽甘蓝能帮助你成长。你不想一辈子都是个矮子吧？听着，你知道我们该怎么做吗？我们要把它们蘸点奶酪。干得好。很好，好吃。好吧，好吧，下半辈子都是3英尺8英寸（译注：约112厘米）。看看我是否在乎。祝你能找到你的女朋友。
保姆：嘿，你今天没吃午饭吗？
丽奈特：我要取消了。孩子们状态很好，你还没完全上手呢。
保姆：勒奈特，已经两天了。
丽奈特：我不想因为突然消失而惊吓到他们。你知道，他们内心深处很敏感。
保姆：他们会没事的。快走吧。去吧。
丽奈特：你有我的手机号码。如果你需要什么就给我打电话。
保姆：会的。
丽奈特：好的。嘿，孩子们。过来给妈妈一个三只熊的拥抱。
