Louise: Why didn’t you just tell your mother that?
路易斯:你为什么不直接告诉你妈妈?
Gil: I didn’t have the heart to do that. She was so excited about the party, and who am I to tell her she has to slave over a hot stove to cook me a lavish dinner?
吉尔:我不忍心说出口
Louise: I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. It’d be a labor of love.
路易斯:我相信她不会介意的
Gil: You don’t know my mother. She doesn’t cut corners and makes everything from scratch. She uses these recipes that were passed down to her from her mother. She can make the most intricate dishes, but what I’m craving are the comfort foods she always made for us when we were kids. It makes my mouth water just thinking about her cooking.
吉尔:你不了解我妈妈
Louise: After a year of living on instant noodles and take-out food, I’m not surprised you want something home-cooked. I tell you what. After the party, come over to my house and I’ll have a home-cooked meal ready for you.
路易斯:毕竟吃了一年的方便面和外卖,其实我并不惊讶你想要一些家常菜
Gil: You, cook for me? Thanks, but no thanks!
吉尔:你,给我做饭?算了,你的好意我心领了!
