一条巷子，五户人家，外加八婆和售屋熟女，构成全美收视冠军《绝望主妇》。这部热播剧从主人公玛丽·爱丽丝·扬的视角，审视了住在富有的中产阶级的聚居区的家庭主妇鲜为人知的生活。而剧中台词更是耐人寻味。下面就来看看各集精彩的结束语吧。

　　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 would be a fight to the death。

　　每个人都清楚战争的本性，我们也知道胜利取决于我们打出的那些牌。有些人在面对血战时会从容放弃；但是对某些人来说投降是无法接受的，尽管他们清楚即将决一死战。

　　The world is filled with unlikely friendships. How did they begin, with one person desperately in need and another willing to lend a helping hand. When such kindness is offered, we are finally able to see the worth of those we have previously written off, and before we've known it, a bond has formed, regardless of whether others can understand it. Yes, unlikely friendships start up everyday, no one understands this more than the lonely, in fact, and it's what they count on。

　　世界上到处都是不太可能的友谊。它们都是由一方迫切的需求和另一方伸出的援助之手开始的。当这样的帮助提供给我们的时候，我们才明白那些曾经认为不可救药的人的价值。在我们发现之前，一条纽带就已经把我们连接在一起了，不管别人能否理解。的确，不太可能的友谊每天都在发生，没有人能比孤独寂寞的人更了解这一点。事实上，这就是他们的指望。

　　This is how Bree Van De Kamp finally came to change her weekly routine, she still cleaned on Tuesdays, paid her bills on Wednesdays, and did her laundries on Thursdays, but her Fridays were now reserved for a meeting, a special meeting where she stood in front of people she didn't know, and said things she didn't believe, and afterwards Bree would come home and reward herself on the completion of another successful week。

　　这就是Bree Van De Kamp如何最终改变了自己的每周安排，她仍然在周二打扫卫生；在周三付账单；在周四洗衣服，但每个周五她要参加一个特别会议，在会议上她站在一群陌生人面前说她自己都不相信的话，然后回到家中犒劳自己，祝贺完满成功的一周。

　　At that precise moment as Dr Hanson Mills was cutting yet another umbilical cord(脐带)， other ties were being severed all over town, like the one between a child and a mother who didn't want him to grow up so quickly, or the one between a case of fine wine and a housewife who hadn't wanted to admit she had a problem, or the one between a women 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。

　　就在汉森·米尔斯医生切断另一根脐带的时候，小镇上其它的联系也被切断了。比如一个母亲和儿子之间，母亲不想孩子那么快就长大；一箱好酒和主妇之间，主妇不想承认她酗酒；或是一个女人和男友之间，男友不能原谅她的背叛。选择离开我们的爱是痛苦的，更糟糕的是我们信任的人让我们做这样的选择。joozone.com
