荧屏情景：

星期三 家人聚餐 片段选自《好汉两个半》第8季经7集 Two and a Half Men S08E07 02:14--03:13

Charlie: So what's the occasion for you two?
查理：你们两个为什么在这儿？
Alan: No occasion. Can't a son invite his mom to lunch?
艾伦：不为什么，难道儿子不能请她妈吃顿午饭吗？
Evelyn: He needs money.
伊芙琳：他缺钱。
Alan: No, no. But if you're lookin' to give some away I'm not gonna turn it down.
艾伦：才不是，不过如果你想给我一点儿，我是不会拒绝的。
Evelyn: You're a dermatologist. How do I get rid of a 170-pound skin tag?
伊芙琳：你是个皮肤科医生，所以我怎样才能摆脱这个170磅的皮赘？
Alan: Excuse me, 164.
艾伦：打扰一下，是164磅。
Charlie: Really? That's the part you object to?
查理：真的？这就是你抗议的点？
Alan: Would you like to be called a 200-pound drunk?
艾伦：你愿意被叫做200磅的醉鬼？
Charlie: 180.
查理：180磅。
Alan: See?
艾伦：明白了吧？
Charlie: Yeah, well, better a lush than a leech.
查理：是的，不过酒鬼好过寄生虫。
Alan: At least a leech doesn't miss his mother's birthday in a drunken blackout.
艾伦：至少寄生虫没有因为醉晕过去，而错过他母亲的生日。
Charlie: Yes, but when the lush wakes up, he can buy her a nice gift with his own money.
查理：没错，可是当酒鬼醒了之后，他能用自己的钱给她买漂亮的礼物。
Evelyn: He can, but he doesn't.
伊芙琳：他是可以，可是他没有。
Charlie: He doesn't because you wouldn't appreciate it anyway.
查理：他没有买是因为无论怎样，你从来都不会感激。
Evelyn: Let's not start with appreciation. Did I ever get a thank you for bearing you and raising you all by myself?
伊芙琳：我们还是别说感恩了，我是因为独自生你、养你而得到一句“谢谢你”吗？
Alan: Thank you, Mommy.
艾伦：谢谢你，妈咪。
Evelyn: Give it a rest. I'll write you a check.
伊芙琳：消停下吧，我给你写张支票。
Alan: Thank you, Mommy.
艾伦：谢谢你，妈咪。
