No.79 You are a good thing
文 | 布莱尼
(本节音频出自Two Broke Grils第1季第11集 )
初步理解
(语境:俩姐妹把宠物马送到了Peach家里寄养,Max不舍,Caroline留给她与马儿道别的时间。)
Caroline
You want a minute alone? I’ll be out front.
你想和它单独待一会儿吗?我出去在前面等你。
This is probably gonna seem ridiculous to you, because you’re a horse and I’m just some lady that’s been slipping you carrots for the last few months, but I really got attached to you.
这个对你来说可能有点可笑,因为你是一匹马,而我只是某个在过去几个月里一直塞给你一些胡萝卜的女人。不过,我真的爱上你了。
I really haven’t had much go right for me in my life, and I’m pretty sure things are gonna keep getting worse, but you were a good thing. And when everything sucked, you were the best thing we had going. And you’re fuzzy too.
我这一生有许多的不如意,我也很确信未来会越来越糟糕,可你是如此美好。当一切都不如人意时,你是我们所拥有的最好的存在。而且你还毛绒绒的。
