绝望主妇第二季

第二季
1）Control. It's extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it. Some rely on deception, while others engage in outright trickery. Then there are those who resort to extorsion. Why do we fight so hard for control? Because we know: To lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others. And what could be more dangerous? 控制，人们为了得到它真实无所不为。

有些人靠诡计，有些人则用正直的把戏，还有一些人则屈服于勒索，我们为什么这么拼命的想得到控制呢？因为我们知道，一旦失去了控制，我们的命运就掌握在别人的手里了，还有什么比这更危险的呢？
2）Everyone enjoys a game of make-believe now and then. Of course, the ways in which we play can vary greatly. Sometimes, we tell ourselves work won't interfere with our family life. Sometimes we imagine certain relationships to be more meaningful than they really are. Occasionally we put on a show, as if to convince ourselves our secrets aren't really all that terrible. Yes, the game of make-believe is a simple one. You start by lying to yourself. And if you can get others to believe those lies, you win. 每一个人总喜欢时不时地自欺欺人。

当然了，我们每人的表达方式不尽相同。

有时我们告诉自己我作不会影响家庭，有时我们幻想某段关系比实际的有有意义。

有时我们会掩饰，好像这样能安慰自己我们的秘密并不是真的那么可怕。

是的，自欺欺人的游戏很简单。

只要你说服自己谎言是真的。

要是你能可以让全世界相信这是真的，那么你就是赢家。

3）、The world is filled with good fathers. How do we recognize them? They're the ones who are missed so terribly that everything falls apart in their absence.
They're the ones who love us long before we've even arrived. They're the ones who come looking for us when we can't find our way home. Yes, the world is filled with good fathers. And the best are the ones who make the women in their lives...feel like good mothers. 世间好爸爸到处都有。

我们又如何辨认呢？他们不在身边时我们会如此地想念到要崩溃，他们在孩子还未出生前就深爱着我们，他们在我们迷失回家的路时找到我们。

是的，世间处处有好父亲。

而最好的父亲就是那些能让生命中的女人觉得自己是最好的母亲的人。

4）Everyone in the world needs someone they can depend on--be they faithful friends, determined advocates or a loving family. But occasionally in life, the people who we thought would always be there for us, leave. And if that happens, it's amazing the lengths we'll go to to get them back. 每一个人都需要依靠——忠实的朋友，坚定的拥护者或者是充满爱意的家庭。

但有时候，我们以为会永远守护着我们的人，离去了。

真是那样的话，我们就得为找回他们而走上漫漫长路。

5）Yes, cameras are tools designed to capture images. But in truth, they can capture so much more. They can uncover hidden longing of men who should no longer care. They can reveal the extraordinary secrets of the most ordinary
marriages. Most amazing of all, cameras can quietly and clearly reveal to us our dreams--dreams we didn't even know we had. 是的，照相机是用来捕捉画面的。

但事实上，它能捕捉到更多东西。

它能揭示一个你从不在意的男人心底隐藏的渴望；它能泄露许多普通婚姻的天大的秘密；最惊人的是，相机可以在不知觉中告知我们自己的梦想——我们从未意识到已拥有的梦想。

6）In a world filled with darkness, we all need some kind of light.
Whether it's a great flame that shows us how to win back what we've lost, or a powerful beacon intended to scare away potential monsters...or a few glowing bulbs that reveal to us the hidden truth of ur past...we all need something to help us get through the night...even if it's just the tiniest glimmer of hope.
在一个黑暗的世界里，我们都需要光明。

也许是一束让我们知道怎么挽回失去的东西的光明，也许是一座能驱走潜伏着的恶魔的灯塔；又也许是几个照亮了掩蔽着的我们过去的真相……我们都需要帮助来渡过黑夜，哪怕只是最微弱的希望的光芒。

7）It’s not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.
Sinners can surprise you. And the same is true for saints. Why do we try to define people as simply good or simply evil? Because no one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in one heart. And that anyone is capable of anything. 我们并不总是能够很清楚的分辨好人和坏人的，有罪的人会让你大吃一惊，圣人也会。

为什么我们要把人简单的分成纯粹的好人和纯粹的魔鬼呢？因为没有人会愿意承认残暴和仁慈会存在于同一个身体里……也不会承认自己会干出任何事情
8）The stories are as old as time itself. The prodigal son who returns home to the father who forgives him. The jealous wife who tricks the husband who trusts her. The desperate mother who risks everything for the child who needs her. And the faithless husband who hurts the wife who loves him so deeply.
Why do we listen again and again? Because these are the stories of family, and once we look past the fighting, pain and the resentment? We occasionally like to remind ourselves...there is absolutely nothing more important. 故事依旧是那个古老的故事。

浪子回头金不换，善父宽容抛前嫌，欲妻讹夫骗信任，慈母护子为哪般，为父不忠留妻绝，为何故事一遍又一遍，只因事关一家人。

蓦然回首，须自省，家为首。

9）The act itself never varies. But each kiss carries with it a meaning all its own. It can convey a husband’s eternal devotion. Or a wife’s enormous regret.
It can symb olize a mother’s growing concern. Or a lover’s growing passion.
But whatever its meaning, each kiss reflects a basic human need. The need to connect to another human being. This desire is so strong it’s always amazing when some people don’t understand it."动作是千篇一律的，但每个吻带着各自的含义。

他能传达丈夫永久的专一，或妻子莫大的懊悔，它象征母亲日益剧增的担心，或情人的无限的激情。

但他无论象征着什么，每个吻，反映了人们最基本的一种需求，与另一个心灵的沟通，这种需求如此强烈，他令人惊讶不已，特别是在哪些，不理解他的人眼里。

10）Illness can take on many forms. Those of the body are easy to treat. Much more difficult are the hidden maladies that fester in our hearts. The secret
addictions that consume our souls. And the diseases we deny which affect our judgment. To survive we need to find that special someone who can heal us.
But we can never predict who have the cure for what ails us. Or when t hey’ll show up. 疾病有很多种表现方式，身体上的容易治疗，困难的是隐藏在心灵深处的伤痛，不为人知的迷恋让我们的灵魂中毒，讳疾忌医会困惑我们的判断，为了继续下去，我们得找到一位能帮助我们痊愈的人。

但我们永远也不会料到，谁会有我们的解药，或者什么时候他们会出现。

11）Everyone understands the nature of war. We also understand that victory depends on the cards that we have been dealt. Some, when faced with a bloody battle, simply give in. But for some, surrender is unacceptable. Even though they know it will be a fight.... to the death. 所有人都明白战争规律，我们也明白胜利得靠我们打出去的牌，有些人面对一场血战的时候会草草放弃，但对有些人，投降是不可接受的，即使它们知道将会是一场……血战
12）The world is filled with unlikely friendships. How do they begin? With one person desperately in need and another willing to lend a helping hand. When such kindness is offered, we’re finally able to see the worth of those we had previously written off. And before we know it, a bond has formed, regardless of whether others can understand it. Yes, unlikely friendships start up every day.
No one understands this more than the lonely. In fact, it’s what they count on.
这个世界充满了不可能发生而发生的友情，要问他们是怎样开始的？一个有着迫切需要，而另一个愿意伸出援助之手，当有了这样的仁慈，我们最终得以见到我之前所作的一切的价值，在我们知道以前，一条联系彼此的纽带就已形成，不管别人是否能理解，确实如此，意外的情谊天天都会发生，每人能理解他们比孤独更多。

事实上，这是他们所依赖的。

13）Now and then, we all need a little help, so we ask for small favors. But it’s always best to be wary of those eager to come to our rescue. Because even the smallest of favors carries a price tag. Yes, everyone has an agenda. No matter what they may tell us. And in those rare instances where there is no ulterior motive. We’re so taken aback that we may f ail to recognize the truth that a loving friend has just done us an enormous favor." 时不时地，我们都需要一些帮助。

于是我们向他人索取一点点关切，不过对那些急来的援助，最好带着一颗机警之心。

因为哪怕是最小的一点恩惠，也承担了代价，没错，每个人都有自己的打算，无论他们对我们怎么说，然后当在少有的情况下，人们抛开隐含的动机时，我们却惊诧自己没有及时发觉，一位忠实的朋友又帮了我们的大忙。

14）At that precise moment, as Dr. Hanson Mills was cutting yet another umbilical cord, other ties were being severed all over town. Like the one between a child and the mother who didn’t want him to grow up so quickly, or the one between a case of fine wine and the housewife who hadn’t wanted to admit that she had a problem, or the one between a woman and the boyfriend who couldn’t forgive her betrayal. The choice to separate from what we love is painful. The only thing worse is when someone we’ve trusted makes the choice for us. 与此同时，在hanson mills医生剪脐带的时候起他的联系也被切断。

母子之间的亲情联系，一个不想孩子就这么快长大的慈母，或是一箱好酒
和一位主妇之间的联系，一位不愿意承认自己有问题的家庭主妇，或是一个女人和男友之间的联系，一个无法原谅女友背叛的男友，选择和我们的所爱分离是痛苦的，唯一更糟糕的是，有时候我们信任的人替我们做了这样的选择。

15）Temptation comes to all of us. Whether or not we succumb depends on our ability to recognize its disguise. Sometimes it arrives in the form of an old flame, flickering back to life. Or a new friend who could end up being so much more. Or a young child who awakens feelings we didn’t know we had. And so we give in to temptation, all the wh ile knowing come morning, we’ll have to suffer the consequences. 我们每个人都面临着诱惑，我们是否向它屈服取决于我们识别他伪装的能力，有时它以一团昔日的火焰出现，重回生活中闪耀，或是一个新朋友，最后却不止是一个朋友，或一个年轻的孩子，唤醒了我们不曾知道我们拥有的感觉。

当我们向诱惑妥协时，第二天早上醒来就会知道，我们将不得不承受以此带来的后果。

16）、We’ve all done something in our lives we’re asham ed of. Some of us have fallen for the wrong man. Some have let go of the right woman. There are those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children. Y es, we’ve all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow. 在生活中，我们都做过一些我们为之惭愧的事情。

我们中一些人爱上了错误的人，一些人放走了合适的女人，有使他们的父母丢脸的孩子，有使他们的孩子失望的父母。

是的，我们都犯过错误，使我们爱的人离我们而去，但是仍然有挽回的机会，如果我们试着从这些错误中汲取经验教训，使自己成熟起来。

17）、There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don’t want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from it’s insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowardly. And afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no. 祷文意图要赐给人们以力量，当面对他们不想接受的情况的时候。

祷文的力量来自他对人类本性的深刻洞察力，因为我们中很多人对与我们作对的命运之手唯有愤怒，因为我们很多人懦夫一般的没有勇气为正义拍案而起，因为我们中的很多人对绝望妥协，当面对一个不可能的选择的时候。

好消息是，对那些把那些话说出口的人，那就是上帝会听到你的祈祷并给你答复，但坏消息时，有时答复可能是否定的。

18）When the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know if revealed, the damage it will do. So they conceal it within sturdy walls or they place it behind closed doors or they obscure it with clever disguises but truth, no matter how ugly, always emerges. And someone we care about always ends up getting hurt. And someone else will revel in their pain and that’s the ugliest truth of all. 当真相是丑陋的时候，人们尝试将他们隐藏起来。

因为人们知道，真相泄露所带来的伤害是多么严重，所以人们用严实的高墙将其藏匿起来，或者将其关闭在紧缩的门后，或者用聪明的伪装使其变得模糊。

但是真相，无论多么丑陋总会浮出水面。

那些我们关心的人最终还是会受到伤害，另外一
些人会因为别人的伤痛而非常快乐，这才是世界上最丑陋的事实。

19）It’s a shocking moment for each of us. That mome nt we realize we are all alone in this world. The family we take for granted could one day abandon us.
The husband we trust so implicitly might betray us. The daughter we love so deeply perhaps won’t return to us. And then we could end up all by ourselves.
Of course, some see great value in going it alone. For example.. 对我们每个人来说，这都是非常震惊的时刻，令我们意识到我们在这个世界上是寂寞的。

我们认为理所应当的家人会突然遗弃我们，我们那么深信的丈夫也许会背叛我们，我们深爱着的女儿也许再也不会回到我们身边，我们也许只能孤独终老。

当然，也有人喜欢独身一人，例如……
20）This is the street where I used to live, and these were the people with whom
I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they
brought with them beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life, not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point, don’t ya think? 这就是我曾经生活过的街道，这曾是我与其分享生活的人们。

从他们搬来的那一天起我们就认识了。

我看到了他们所带来的对未来的美好憧憬，对更好的生活的向往，不仅仅为他们自己，还有为了他们的孩子。

如果可能的话，我应该告诉他们在前方等待着的是什么吗？我应该警告他们将至的悲伤与背叛吗？不。

在我所处于的位置，我自然能明白路应该如何走。

秘诀就是一直向前行，放下恐惧和遗憾，因为它们会让我们放慢脚步，阻碍我们享受这转瞬即逝的旅程。

是的，前方有无法预料的转折，令人措手不及的惊讶，但是，生活的意思不正在于此吗？。
