-
101 The next day my friends
came together to pack away my clothes, my personal
belongings and
what was left of my
life. Not quite Gabrielle, not quite. How ironic.
To have something I tried so
desperately
to keep secret
treated so causally.
I’m so sorry,
girls.
I never wanted
you to burden
with this.
第二天我的朋友们都来帮我收拾衣服，私人物品还有
――
我剩下的那些东西。远不只这些
Gabri
elle
，远不只。多么讽刺，我拼命努力想要保守的秘密就这样随便的被她们发现了。
对
不起，姐妹们。我绝对不想让你们承受这种负担。
102 Yes, as I look back at
the world I left behind, it's all so clear to me.
The beauty that waits to be
unveiled,
the mysteries that long to be uncovered. But,
people so rarely stop to take a look. They
just keep moving. It's a shame, really.
There's so much to see.
是的，
当我回头看我身后的世界，它变得如此清晰。那么多期待闪亮登场的美丽，
那么多渴
望不被发现的秘密。但人们很少停下脚步去观察，他们只是一路前行
。这真的很可惜。
103 Yes
I remember the world. Every detail. And what I
remember most is how afraid I was, what
a waste. You see, to live in fear is
not to live at all. I wish I could tell this to
those I left behind, but
would it do
any good? Probably not. I understand now, there
will always be those who face their
fears, and there will always be those
who run away.
是的，
我记得这个世界的每一个细节。
对我影响最深刻是却是我如何的害怕，
真是浪费生命！
活在恐惧中就和死了一样。
我希望能把
这些告诉给留在这世上的人，
但是会有帮助吗？也许
不会。我终
于明白了，当恐惧来临的时候，总会有人去坚强的面对，也总会有人选择逃避。
104 What type of person
would send such a note? Was it an enemy? Of
course! But what kind? An
acquaintance?
A stranger? Or how about a neighbor that lives a
few feet away?
什么样的人会寄这样一张字
条？是敌人？当然了！
但是是什么样的敌人？萍水相逢？还是陌
生人？或者就是一个街坊邻居？
105 People by their very nature are
always on the lookout for intruders, trying to
prevent those on
the outside from
getting in. But there will always be those who
force their way into our lives, just
as
there will be those we invite in. But the most
troubling of all will be the ones who stand on the
outside looking in. The ones we never
truly get to know.
人类的天性就是提
防那些入侵者，
我们努力防止外人进入我们的生活。
但就像我们
有时会邀
请客人一样，
总会有人强行进入我们的生活。
不过最令人头痛的还是那些站在远处监视着我
们的人，我们永远不知道他
们的真面目。
106 The
search for power begins when we are quite young.
As children, we are taught that the
power of good triumphs over the power
of evil. But as we get older, we realize that
nothing is ever
that simple. Traces of
evil always remain.
我们很小的时候
就知道追求权力。
我们还是孩子的时候学到的是邪不胜正。
但我
们长大之后
发现事情远没有那样单纯。邪恶的踪迹总是存在。
107 Competition, it means
different things to different people. But whether
it’s a friendly rivalry,
or a fight to
the death. The end result is the same. There will
be winners, and there will be losers.
Of course the trick is to know which
battles to fight. You see, no victory comes
without a price.
竞争意味着不同的事对
不同的人。
但不管是一场友好的竞赛还是致命的搏斗，
最终结局
都是
一样的
――
有胜利者，也有失败者
。当然，秘诀在于自己要知道该参加哪场斗争。因为，任
何胜利都是有代价的。
108 There is a
widely read book that tells us everyone is a
sinner. Of course, not everyone feels
guilt over the bad things they do. In
contrast, there are those who assume more than
their share of
the blame. There are
others who soothe their consciences with small
acts of kindness. Or by telling
themselves their sins were justified.
Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do
better next
time, and pray for
forgiveness. Sometimes, their prayers are
answered.
有一本广泛流传的书
< br>（
《圣经》
）
告诉我们每个人都
是罪人。
当然并不是所有人做完坏事之后
都会内疚，
相对的，
也有人承担了过多的罪过。
有些人会做些
小小的善事来安抚他们的良心；
或者告诉自己他们是替天行道。
最后，有些人仅仅发誓说下次会做得更好，
并祈求原谅。有
时他
们的祈祷得到了回应。
109
People are complicated creatures, on the one hand,
able to perform great acts of charity; on
the other, capable of the most
underhanded forms of betrayal.
It is a
constant battle that ranges
within all
of us, between the better angels of our nature,
and the temptation of our inner demons.
And sometimes the only way to ward off
the darkness is to shine the light of compassion.
人是一种复杂的生物。一方面，能乐善好施；另一方面，也能
背信弃义。我们的内心在善良
的天使和欲望的魔鬼之间不断的斗争着。有时，抵挡黑暗的
唯一办法就是发出仁慈的光芒。
110 Trust is a fragile thing, once
earned, it affords us tremendous
freedom
；
but once
trust is lost,
it can be impossible to
recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who
we can trust. Those we
are closest to
can betray us. And total strangers can come to our
rescue. In the end, most people
decide
to trust only themselves. It really is the
simplest way to keep from getting burned.
信任是很微妙的东西，
一旦得到我们
会感觉到无比自由；
但是一旦失去就几乎不可能再挽回。
当然，
我们永远不知道可以相信谁。
最亲近的人也有可能背叛我们，<
/p>
而未曾谋面的人也可能
伸出援助之手。所以，大多数人决定只相信
自己。这是避免引火上身最简单的方法。
111 We are all searching for some one.
That special person who will provide us what’s
missing in
our lives, someone who can
offer companionship, or resistance, or security.
And sometimes if we
search very hard,
we can find someone who provides us with all
three. Yes for all searching for
someone. And if we can’t find them, we
can only pray they find us.
我们都在寻找某个人。
那个特殊的人会填补我们生命中的空白，
有的伸出友谊之手，
有的防
守反击，<
/p>
有的给我们带来安全感。
如果我们竭尽全力去寻找，
有时会找到符合这三种条件的
人。没错，我们都在追寻某个人。如果我们没找
到，就只能祈求他们来找我们。
112 Death is inevitable. It’s a promise
made to each of us at birth. But before that
promise is kept,
we all hope something
will happen to us, whether it is the thrill of
romance, the joy of raising a
family,
or
the
anguish
of
great
loss.
We
all
hope
to
experience
something
that
make
our
lives
meaningful, but the sad fact is, not
all lives have meaning. Some people spend their
time on this
planet just sitting on the
sidelines, waiting for something to happen to
them, before
it’s too late.
死亡是不可避免的。
每个人在生下来
之后都会得到的保证。
但在那个保证履行之前我们都希
望能遇到
某些事，
可能是一段激动人心的罗曼史，
可能是生儿育女的喜悦
，
可能是巨大损失
的痛苦。我们都希望经历让生命有意义的事情
，但令人难过的是并非所有的生命都有意义。
有些人一生只是站在远处等待那些事从天而
降，结果蹉跎光阴。
113
Sooner or later, the time comes when we all must
become responsible adults, and learn to give
up what we want, so we can choose to do
what is right. Of course, a life time of
responsibility
isn’t always easy, and
as the years go on, it’s a burden that can become
too heavy for some to bear.
But still
we try to do what is best, what is good. Not only
for ourselves, but for those we love. Yes,
sooner or later we must all become
responsible adults. No one knows this better than
the young.
早晚我们都会成为负有责任的成人，
学会为了正确的选择而放弃一些事。
当然想要负起毕生
的责任并非易事，
随着年龄的增长这个负担会使有些人承受不起。
不过我们仍然要尽力而为，
为自己，更为我们所爱的人。是的，
早晚我们都会成为负有责任的成人，没有人比年轻人更
清楚这一点。<
/p>
114 It’s
impossible to grasp just how powerful love is, it
can sustain us through trying times, or
motivate us to make extraordinary
sacrifices; it can force decent man to commit the
darkest deeds,
or compel ordinary woman
to search for hidden truths. And long after we’re
gone, love remains
burned
into
our
memories.
We
all
search
for
love,
but
some
of
us,
after
we
found
it,
wish
we
hadn’t.
人们无法理解爱的力量究竟有多大，
它能让我们渡过艰难困苦；
或者鼓励我们做出特殊牺牲；
它能逼
迫正人君子诲淫诲盗；
也能迫使平凡女人发掘真相。
即使我们早
已不在人世，
爱仍在
我们的回忆里。我们都在寻找爱，但是有些
人在找到之后却希望不曾找到它。
115 Yes, each new day in suburbia
brings with it a new set of lies. The worst are
the ones we tell
ourselves before we
fall asleep. We whisper them in the dark, telling
ourselves we are happy, or
that he’s
happy that we can change, or that he will change
his mind. We persuade ourselves we can
live with our sins, or that we can live
without him. Yes, each night before we fall asleep
we lie to
ourselves in a desperate,
desperate hope that come morning, it will all be
true.
是的，
郊区每个全新的
一天都会带来新的谎言。
最糟糕的是我们睡前告诉自己的话。
我
们在
黑暗里对自己轻语，
告诉自己很快乐，
或者说他会因为我们的改变而快乐，
或说他会改变他
的想法
。我们说服自己可以带着罪过生活，或没有他也能活着。没错，
每晚临睡之前我们都
会骗自己，极其热切的希望当早晨醒来时，美梦成真。
116
Yes,
everyone
loves
a
scandal,
no
matter
how
big
or
small.
After
all,
what
could
be
more
entertaining
than
watching
the
downfall
of
the
high
and
mighty?
What
could
be
more
amusing
than
the public exposure of hypocritical sinners? Yes,
everyone loves a scandal, and if for some
reason, you are not enjoying the latest
one…Well, the next one is always around the
c
orner.
是的，
每个人都喜欢丑闻，不管大或小。
毕竟，
有什么能
比看到权贵的衰败和伪善之人公布
于众更有乐趣呢？是的，
每个
人都喜欢丑闻，
就算你不喜欢最新的也没关系。
下一个总会满<
/p>
足你的要求。
117
We
all
honor
heroes
for
different
reasons,
sometimes
for
their
daring,
sometimes
for
their
bravery,
sometimes
for
their
goodness.
But
mostly
we
honor
heroes
because
at
one
point
or
another,
we all dream to be rescued. Of course, if the
right hero doesn’t come along, sometimes
we just have to rescue ourselves.
基于不同的原因我们都尊敬英雄，
有
时因为他们的大胆，
有时因为他们的英勇，
有时因为他
们的善良。
但我们崇敬英雄的主要原因是因为某些时候我们都梦想被他们
拯救。
当然，
如果
那个英雄没有出现，
有时我们只好拯救自己。
118
Children come into the world with their own
agendas, some to brighten our days, some to test
our patience, some to give
us purpose, some to take care of us.
Yes, when they come, children
change
everything. Especially when they’re not
invited.
孩子们带着他们
的使命来到人间，
有些照亮我们的人生，
有些考验我们的耐性，
有些带给我
们活着的理由，
还有些来照
顾我们。
是的，孩子的降临改变一切，
尤其是他们不请自来的时
候。
119 Yes, life is a journey, one that is
much better traveled with a companion by our side.
Of course
that companion can be just
about anyone - a neighbor on the other side of the
street - or the man
on the other side
of the bed? The companion can be a mother with
good intentions, or a child who
is up
to no good. Still despite our best intentions,
some of us will lose our companions along the
way
and
then
the
journey
becomes
unbearable.
You
see,
human
beings
are
designed
for
many
things. But loneliness is not one of
them.
是的，人生是一场旅程，我们最好结伴同行。当
然同伴可以是任何人。也许是对街的邻居，
或者是同床的男人。
这位同伴可能是个用心良苦的母亲，
也可能是个不怀好意的孩子。
虽然
我们没有恶意，
但有些人还是会在旅程当中失去他们的伴
侣，
接下来这段旅程开始变得难以
忍受。要知道人可以忍受很多
事，但孤独却不在其中。
120
Yes, spring comes every year to Wisteria Lane. But
not everyone remembers to stop and smell
the flowers. S
ome are too
busy worrying about the future, or mistakes
they’ve made in the past.
Others are
preoccupied with not getting caught, or thinking
of ways to catch someone else. Still
there will always be a few who remember
to take a moment and appreciate what spring has
given
them. Just as there will always
be those who prefer to sit in the dark, brooding
over everything
they’ve
lost.
每年春天都降临在
Wisteria Lane
，
但并不是每个人都会停下脚步来嗅嗅花香。
有些人忙
于担
心他们的未来，
有些人担心他们的
“
过
”
错。
还
有人费尽心机夹住尾巴过日子或是逮住别人的
小尾巴。
但还是会
有少数人记得花些时间来珍惜春天所赐的一切，
就像总会有人宁愿呆在黑
暗里，数落他们失去的一切。
121 The vow is simple really. Those who
take it promise to stay together, for better or
for worse,
for richer or for poorer, in
sickness and in health, to honor and to cherish,
forsaking all others,
until death do us
part. Yes, the vow is simple. Finding someone
worthy of such a promise is the
hard
part. But if we can, that’s when we begin to live
happily ever after.
誓言其实很简单。发誓的人承诺无论生活好与坏，
无论富裕与贫穷，无论疾病与
健康，
永远
忠贞至死不渝。
是的，誓言
很简单。
但困难的是能否找到值得许下诺言的那个终生伴侣。不
过如果我们能找到的话，那么我们就可以从此幸福快乐的活着了。
122 Nothing is forever, and
the time comes when we all must say goodbye to the
world we knew,
goodbye
to
everything
we
had
taken
for
granted,
goodbye
to
those
we
thought
would
never
abandon
us,
and
when
these
changes
finally
do
occur,
when
the
familiar
has
departed,
and
the
unfamiliar has taken its place, all any
of us can really do is to say hello…and
welcome!
没有东西是永恒
的。我们都会有离开世界的那一刻，那时我们要向曾经熟悉的世界说再见，
向曾经没有珍
惜的一切说再见，向我们曾认为不会抛弃我们的人说再见。当熟悉变得陌生，
当陌生变成
习惯的时候，我们只能无力的说声：哈罗，欢迎！
123 It’s an odd thing to look back on
the world, to watch those I left behind. Each in
her own way
so brave so determined, and
so very desperate. Desperate to venture out, but
afraid
of what she’ll
miss
when she goes. Desperate to get everything she
wants, even when she is not exactly sure of
what
that
is.
Desperate
for
life
to
be
perfect
again,
although
she
realizes
it
never
really
was.
Desperate for a better future, if she
can find a way to escape her past. I am not only
watch; I cheer
them on, these amazing
women. I hope so much that they’ll find what
they’re looking for, but I
know
not
all
them
will.
Sadly…
that’s
just
not
the
way
life
works,
not
everyone
gets
a
happy
ending.
回头看身后的世界和生前好友这种感觉很奇妙。
她们都以自己的方式
活着，
那么勇敢，
那么
果断，充满着渴
望。有的人渴望去冒险，又怕离开后会想念。有的人渴望得到一切，尽管她
并不确定到底
想要什么。
有的人渴望重新得到完美的人生，
即使她的生活从来
就没有完美过。
有的人渴望得到美好的未来，
但她必须先想办法
逃避过去。
我并不只是看着她们，
我也在为
这些了不起的女人加油助威。
我衷心希望她们能找到她们追求的东西，
但我知道并不是所有
人都能如愿。悲哀的是，这就是生活，并不是每个人都有
快乐结局。

It had
been one year since my suicide, and a lot has
changed in Wisteria Lane. There were new
flowers, new houses, and new neighbors,
the kind anyone would want living right next door.
我自杀已经一年了，在这一年里
Wisteria
Lane
变化很大。新的花儿，新的房子，还有每个
人都想紧挨着的新邻居。

Control
is
extraordinary
the
tactics
people
employ
to
obtain
it,
some
rely
on
deception,
while
others engage in
outright trickery, then there those who were
resort to extortion. Why do we fight
so
hard for control? Because we know to lose it’s to
put our fate in the hands of other
s,
and what
could be more
dangerous
？
人们为了获得支配权会使用各种策略，有些人靠欺骗，有些人靠哄骗，还有些人诉诸敲诈。
为什么我们这么拼命要得到支配权呢？因为我们知道一旦失去它我们就会被别人所掌控，
还
有什么比这更危险呢？
2-03
Everyone enjoys the
game of make-believe now and then, of course the
ways in which we play
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 are 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.
人们都喜欢偶
尔自欺欺人一下，
当然每个人的方法各不相同。
有的人告诉自己
不会因家庭耽
误了工作；
有的人喜欢想象一段比实际更有意义的
生活。
有时，我们制造假象，说服自己我
们的秘密并没有那么糟
糕。是的，自欺欺人很容易。
由欺骗自己开始，如果别人也相信你的
话，恭喜你，你赢了！
2-04
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 one
who make the women in
their lives...feel like good mothers.
世界上到处都有好爸爸，
但是怎么辨别他们呢？如果他们不在身
边我们会感到伤心欲绝，
痛
苦无比；他们在我们降生之前就深爱
着我们；他们在我们迷路的时候带领我们回家。的确，
世界上到处都有好爸爸。不过最好
的父亲是那些能让妻子觉得自己是最好的母亲的人。
2-05
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
we
thought
would
always
be
there for us... leave, and if that
happens, it's amazing the length we will go to
get them back.
每个人都需要有人依靠，<
/p>
做最忠诚的朋友，做自己的决定激励者，
或者组成家庭。
但有时我
们认为一直会陪伴我们的人
――
也会离开我们。当这发生的时候把他们找回来的路异常艰
难。
2-06
Yes, ever
y little girl
dreams of a big white wedding, but some dreams
just don’t come true.
是的，每个小女孩都梦想拥有盛大的白色婚礼，但是有些梦想就是不能成真。
2-07
Yes,
cameras are tools designed to capture images. But
in truth they can capture so much more.
They
can
uncover
hidden
longing
of
man
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，
相机是用来
捕捉画面的。
但实际上他们可以捕捉到更多。
它们能揭露不该去
关心的男
人隐藏着的渴望；
它们能揭露平凡婚姻中的不寻常秘密
。
最有趣的是，
相机能无声无息的告
诉
我们不曾知晓的梦想。
2-08
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 our past. We all
need something to help us get through
the night, even if it's just the tiniest
glimmer of hope.
在充满黑暗的世界里，
我们都需要一些光明。
它可以是指导我们挽回失去的东西的一束
火焰；
也可以是驱除潜在的恶魔的灯塔；
或者是照亮我们隐藏真
相的灯泡。
我们都需要能让我们撑
过黑夜的东西，哪怕是最微弱
的希望光芒。
2-09
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 are 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.
分清好人和坏人并不是一件容易
的事。
罪人总让我们大吃一惊，
不过圣人也是一样。
为什么
总简单的把人定义为好或坏呢？因为没有人愿意承认同情和残忍会肩
并肩的呆在一个身体
里面；当然，也不会承认他们可以做任何事情。
2-10
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
trust
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
resentment,
we
occasionally
like
to
remind
ourselves
-
there's absolutely nothing more
important.
故事仍旧是和时间一样古老，浪子回
头金不换，慈父宽容抛前嫌；
猜疑妻子欺憨夫；绝望母
亲护亲子
；
不忠丈夫伤爱妻。
为什么这样的故事一再重演？因为这就是家
庭，
一旦我们回头
看往事，
我们都会时
不时的提醒自己所有的这些战斗，
痛苦，
仇恨都比不上和谐的家
庭重要。
2-11
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
wife's
enormous
regret.
It
can
symbolize
a
mother's growing concern or
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.
亲吻的动作亘古未变，
但每个吻的含义各不相同。
可以是丈夫的专心付出；
可以是妻子的无
尽懊悔；
也可以代表母亲每日俱增的担
忧或情人间的无限激情。
但不管怎样，
每个吻都表现
了最根本的人类需求。与另一个心灵的链接的需求无比强烈。
它令人惊讶无比
――
特别是
当有些人不理解的时候。
2-12
Illnesses 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
will
have
the
cure
for
what
ails
us
or
when
they'll show up.
疾病有很多形式，
生理上的比较容易治疗，
困难的是
心灵深处的伤痛。
不为人知的迷恋侵蚀
着我们的灵魂，
放弃治疗让我们失去判断。
要想生存我们要找到特殊的人来治愈我们
…
但是
我们永远不能预知谁能够拯救我们，
或他们什么时候出现。
2-13
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，
< br>我们也知道胜利取决于我们打出的那些牌。
有些人在面对血战会
< br>从容放弃；但是对某些人来说投降是无法接受的，尽管他们清楚面前的是决一死战。
2-14
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, it's what they count
on.
世界上到处都是不太可能的友谊。
< br>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，我们才明白曾经失败的价值。在我们相识之前，
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，

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 taking aback that we may fail
to recognize the truth -
that a loving
friend has just done us an enormous favor.
偶尔我们总会需要帮助，
所以我们请
别人帮点小忙。
不过对那些急切想拯救我们的人最好要
带着一颗
机警的心。因为哪怕是最小的恩惠都是有价格的。是的，每个人心里都有一本帐，
不管他
们告诉我们什么。
别有用心的人太多了，
像好朋友帮了大忙这样
的情况真是少之又少。
我们过分的警觉导致我们失去了对真相的判断力。

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 an
d 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
三付帐单；
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, 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
Hanson Mills
医生切断另一根脐带的时候，
小镇上其他的联系也被切断了。
像一个母亲
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的关系，
主妇不想承认她酗
酒；
或是一个女人和男友之间的关系，
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。

Temptation comes to all
of us, whether or not we succumb depends on our
ability to recognize its
disguise,
sometimes it arrives in a 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
wakens
feelings
we
didn't
know we had. And
so we give in to temptation all the while knowing
come morning, we'll
have to suffer
the consequences.
每个人都会受到诱惑
，
我们是否屈服与诱惑决定于我们识破其伪装的能力。
有时它们
以闪回
的火花形式出现；
有时是一个意义深远的新朋友；
有时是一个触发我们不曾有过的感觉的婴
儿。不过如果我们屈服于诱惑
，那么第二天我们必须承担后果。
2-19
We've all done
something in our lives us we are ashamed of, some
of us have fallen for the
wrong man,
some have let go of the right women, there're
those who have humiliated their
parents
and those who have failed their children. Yes,
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.
我们都做过一些自己都感到惭愧的事。
有些人爱错了人，
有些人错过了爱；
有
些孩子使父母
丢脸，
也有些家长让孩子失望。
< br>是的，我们都犯过错使我们爱的人离我们而去。但如果我们
试着从这些错误中吸取
教训并成长，就还有挽回的机会。

There's
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
its
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 in to 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.
祈祷赐给我们力量，让我们能够面对不愿接受的事实。祈祷的力量来自它对人性的洞察力；
因为太多的人对我们的生活充满愤怒；
因为太多的人过于懦弱，
不敢拍案而起；
因为太多的
人无法选择的时候，
选择对绝望妥协。
好消息是敢于把话说出口的人，
上帝会听到你的祈祷
并回答你。坏消息是有的时候上帝的答案是否定的。
2-21
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.
当真相很丑
陋的时候，
人们想法设法来掩盖它。
因为他们知道如果被发现的
话后果相当严重。
所以他们用严实的墙来遮蔽它；
或把真相关在
紧闭的门后；
或用聪明的伪装使它们变得朦胧。
但不管真相多么
丑陋它们总会浮现，
那些我们关心的人最后还是会受到伤害，
而
另外一些人
却为他们的痛苦而快乐，这才是最丑陋的事实。
2-22
It's a
shocking moment for each of us that moment 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.
对每个人来说意识到自己孤独的活在世上都是震惊无比的。<
/p>
我们认为理所当然的家庭会抛弃
我们；
我
们深信无比的丈夫也可能背叛我们；
我们深深爱着的女儿也许不再回到我们的身边。
那时我们只能一个人孤独的走到生命的尽头。

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
you
think?
这就是我曾经生活的
街道，我和这些人一起分享过生活。我在他们搬来那天起认识的他们，
我看到他们带来的
――
对美好未来的憧憬；
为更好生活的
向往，
为自己更为了孩子。
如果我
可以
，
我会告诉他们前路是什么样的吗？我会警告他们未来的悲伤和背叛吗？不会，
站在我
的位子我自然明白路应该怎样走。
秘诀就
是放下拖慢我们脚步的艰难困苦，
勇往直前的享受
这快乐而又短
暂的人生旅途。

Every
storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning,
everything will be made clean again.
And even the most troubling stains will
have disappeared. Like the doubts over his
innocence, or
the consequence of his
mistake, like the scars of his betrayal,or the
memory of his we wait
for the storm to
pass hoping for the best, even though we know in
our hearts some stains are so
indelible, nothing can wash them away.
每随风暴而来的是希望
——
不论如何，
到了早晨，
一切都会变干净，
即使最顽

有些污点是如此顽固，没有什么能将它们清除。

We all carry
something with us. Of course, it's nice if we
travel with someone who can help
lighten the load. But usually, it's
easier to just drop what we've been carrying
so we
can get home that much sooner.
Assuming, of course, there will be
someone there to greet us when we arrive. Why do
we clutch at
this baggage, even when
we're desperate to move on? Because we all
know there's a
chance we might let
go too soon.

Anyone can
end up a victim...injured by the actions of
others. But whether the damage is inflicted by a
cunning ex-wife...or a blow delivered
by the object of our affection...the time comes
when we must pick
ourselves up and
continue on our journey. And if we can't, then all
we can pray for...is rescue.
人人都会末路逢凶，被他人所伤。但无论是被狡猾的前妻算计，还是被我们心仪的对象打击，我们都要站
起来，收拾行囊，继续旅程。如果我们做不到，那就只有祈求，被救赎。

From the moment we wake up in the
morning till our head hits the pillow at night our
lives are filled with
questions. Most
are easily answered and soon
forgotten
，
but some questions
are much harder to ask
because we're so
afraid of the answer. Will I be around to watch my
children grow up? Am I making a
mistake
by marrying this man? Could he ever truly love me?
And what happens when we ask ourself the
hard question and get the answer we'd
been hoping for? Well, that's when happiness
begins.
从我们清晨醒来，到我们夜晚入睡，我们的
生活充满了疑问。一些容易回答，也容易被忘记；有些问题却
难以提出，因为我们害怕知
道答案
——
我能否活着看到孩子们长大？我是否嫁对了人？他是
否会真心爱
我？以及，当我们终于开口问了问题，也得到了我们希望得到的答案，又会发
生什么事情？幸福的生活将
从此开始。

Family--there is
nothing more important. They're the ones who show
up when we're in trouble
，
the
ones
who push us to
succeed
，
the ones who help
keep our secrets. But what of those who have no
family to rely
on? What happens to
those poor souls...who have no loved ones to help
them in their hour of need?
Well...most
learn to walk life's road by themselves. But a sad
few of us...simply...stop trying.
世上没有比家人更重要的东西。他们在我们有困难的时候出现，驱策我们迈向成功，帮我们保守秘
密。但
是那些无依无靠的人怎么办？那些在迫切需要时却没有心爱的人帮助的人怎么办？
其中大多数人跌跌撞撞
摸索出一条生存之道。但也有像我们这样的少数人，心灰意冷的放
弃

There is a certain time
of night,after children have been put to bed and
husbands have begun snoring,that
women
lie awake and think of the secrets they've been
keeping from their might be an
impromptu wedding,or a recently
diagnosed tumor,or a make-believe less,it's all
they
will think of,until something
comes along to remind them that other people have
secrets,too.
晚上，总有些时候，在孩子们上床睡觉之后，老公鼾声雷动
之时，女人们仍然无法入睡，她们在想着不为
人知的秘密。可能是闪电般的婚礼；或者刚
刚诊断出的癌症；或骗大家自己怀有身孕。除此之外，她们都
相信别人同样藏有秘密。<
/p>
There is a certain time of
occurs after kids have left for school and
husbands have headed off
for 's a time
when women think of the secrets they've been
keeping from their how
shocked they
would be if the truth was how they'll do
everything in their power to keep
that
from what of those lucky women who have no
secrets left to keep?What do they think
about every morning?These women spend
their mornings thinking of their neighbors and the
secrets they
may be keeping.
每天早上总有段时间，就在孩子们去上学，丈夫们去上班之后，有些女人会想起那些秘密，她们瞒着朋友
们的秘密，假如真相大白，其他人会多么吃惊，而她们会尽一切努力，不让这种事发生。那么那
些没有秘
密需要隐藏的幸运女人呢，她们每天早上又在想些什么呢？这些女人在早上通常
会想起她们的邻居们还有
她们可能隐藏的秘密。

You will never see
despair here...or rage. You will never see the
tiniest bit of regret. You see, the people
who live here have learned there is -
one sure way of hiding their secrets from their
neighbors. That's why,
in the suburbs,
there is nothing more deceptive than a smile.
你不会在这里见到绝望，或者愤怒；你不会在这里见到哪怕一丁点遗憾。你所看到的是人们用他们
自己的
方法，在向他们的邻居隐藏各自的秘密。这就是为什么在郊区，在没有什么比微笑
更具有欺骗性的了。
There is nothing
more deceptive than a smile, and no one knows this
better than the people who hide
behind
them. Some flash their teeth as a polite warning
to their enemies. Some put on beaming faces to
keep their tears from falling. Others
wear silly grins to mask their fear. But then
there is that rare smile
that is
actually genuine. It's the smile of a person who
knows his troubles will soon be over.
没
有什么比一个微笑更具有欺骗性，而这一点只有藏在微笑背后的人心里最清楚。有的人对着他的敌人微
笑着露出牙齿，只是先礼后兵；有的人强装笑颜只是为了抑制住流泪；而另一些人傻傻的裂开嘴笑， 只是
为了掩饰自己的恐惧。而此时，有那么一种不太常见的微笑，它完全发自内心，那是
当一个人知道自己的
麻烦将要被除掉的时候，才会露出的微笑。

All children love to
play games. But before they can race their bikes
or jump their ropes or toss their
frisbees, children understand they must
first convince their friends to play along with
them. The same is
true for adults.
孩子们都爱玩游戏。但是在他们比赛骑自行车，或跳绳，或仍飞盘之前，他们都知道要先说服小伙
伴和他
们一起玩。大人们也是一样。
All children love games. But children
grow up, and then they find new games to play.
They pretend to be
well so their
families won't worry. They lie to their lovers
about where they go in the
invent
stories to hide the truth from their friends.
Yes...everyone has fun playing games right up
until the
moment...someone gets hurt. <
/p>
所有的孩子都喜欢玩游戏。
可他们长大后，
就会去玩不同的游戏。
他们会假装自己身体很好不让家人担心；
他们会对自己的爱人撒谎，
隐瞒下午出门的真正目的地；
他们
虚构出一个个故事，
在朋友们面前隐藏实事
……
没错，每个人都玩的很开心，直到那一刻才反应过来，有人已经受伤。

Pests, they come in all
shapes and sizes and disrupt our lives in a
variety of ways. At first,they're merely
anoying, and we do our best to ignore
them. But if we don't take them seriously,they can
become quite
dangerous. For some, death
seems to be the easiest solution. But the problem
with pestsis that what they
leave
behind...is just as dangerous.
害虫，它们形状各
异，大小相同，以种种方法扰乱我们的生活。起初，它们仅仅是烦人，我们尽力不去注
意
它们。但是如果我们不重视它们，它们会变得非常危险。对于某些来说，置之于死地似乎是最轻松的解
决方式。但是问题的关键在于，他们遗留下的东西，也同样危险。
4-05
It's the same for all
of us. We try not to get too close to the people
who live next 's easier to give
them a
polite nod than to ask what's wrong. It's safer to
keep walking by than to get involved. True, we
sometimes do get to know the people we
share a fence with and end up lifelong friends.
But mostly, we
keep our distance,
because we'd rather our neighbors Know nothing
about us...than know too much.
有一点对于我们大家来说都一样，我们尽量不要和住在隔壁的人过分亲密。对他们点头致意比问长问短更
轻松。匆匆而过比置身其中更加安全。没错，我们有时可以和鸡犬相闻的邻居相互了解并
做终生的朋友。
但大多数情况下，我们都保持距离，因为我们还是宁愿我们的邻居对我们
一无所知
……
而不是知根知底。

There is much to be
afraid of in this world. But what we fear has
nothing to do with gruesome masks, or
plastic spiders, or lifelike monsters.
No, it's the thoughts in our head, that terrify us
the most... What if she
comes to regret
her decision? What if he really is unhappy? What
if the chance for love has passed forever?
How do we conquer these terrifying
thoughts? We start by reminding ourselves what
does not kill us...just
makes us
stronger.
这个世界上有很多可怕的东西。但是我
们所惧怕的不是恐怖的面具，或塑料蜘蛛，也不是逼真的怪兽，都
不是。最让我们恐惧的
是我们内心的想法。如果她对自己的决定后悔了怎么办？如果他真的觉得不幸福怎
么办？
如果永远错过了再爱一次的机会怎么办？我们如何克服这些可怕的想法呢？我们从提醒自己开始，
那些没有打到我们的东西，会让我们更坚强。

Deception, you find it
in all the best homes. Parents rely on it when
dealing with inquisitive children.
Women use it to help keep secrets, big
and small. Lovers neeeed it to cover up
inconvenient accidents.
Why do people
resort to deception? Because it's a handy tool
that helps get us exactly what we'relooking
for.
欺骗，在所有幸福的家庭
里都会出现。父母依赖这种手段打发好奇的孩子，女人们用它来保守或大或小的
秘密，相
爱的人需要它来掩盖麻烦的意外事故。为什么人们会用欺骗的手段？因为它是个便利的工具，能
< br>帮我们取得我们想要的东西。

We think of the past as water under the
bridge, a current that carries away the mistakes
of our
youth---the loves we lost... the
addictions we gave into...the opportunities we
threw away... But sooner or
later,
reminders drift back into our lives of the
mistakes we made and the sins we committed. Yes,
the
mistakes of our past have a way of
drifting back into our lives, and when they do, we
have to pay for
them.
过去，在我们的想象中就像桥下的水，波浪带走我们年轻时所犯的错。我们失去的爱，我们所痴迷的 ，我
们浪费的机会，但是或早或晚，它们都会重现在我们的生活中，提醒我们曾经犯过的
错误，和曾经犯下的
罪行。是的，我们曾经的错误，会再回到我们生活中，而在这个时候
，我们必须付出代价。
The past is never
truly behind us. Ghosts lurk in the shadows, eager
to remind us of the choices we made.
But if we look back, we might find an
old friend with open arms...or an old enemy with a
hidden
agenda...or a grown-up son with
a forgiving heart...Sadly, some of us refuse to
look back, never
understanding that by
denying the past, we are condemned to repeat it.
过去从未真正过去，幽灵潜伏在阴影里，急着提醒我们做过的
选择。但如果我们回首过去，可能会看到一
位张开双臂欢迎你的老朋友，或者一个心怀鬼
胎的敌人，或者长大的儿子有着一颗宽容的心。不幸的是，
有些人拒绝回首过去，永远不
明白否认过去，只会令自己注定重蹈覆辙。

It was supposed to be a beautiful day.
But then the winds came and changed everything,
and not just the
houses and
the lawns. The people had changed,too. while the
storm had raged, each of them had learned
something...about friendship...and
forgiveness...and redemption. And some had learned
the hardest
lesson of all, that life is
always fragile and very often unfair.
这
本该是阳光明媚的一天。可是龙卷风将所有的一切都变得面目全非，不仅仅是房屋和草坪，人们也不例
外。狂风肆虐时，每个人都有所得，得到了友谊，学会了原谅，尝试了救赎。
而有些人得到了最残酷的教
训，生命是如此的脆弱，而且通
常它又是如此不公。

These are the things that happen in the
wake of any great disaster. People start to
perform small acts of
kindness. They do
what they can to help, all the while knowing...it
won't be enough.
Yes, in the wake of a
great tragedy, people do what they can to
help...all the while knowing...it won't be
enough.
是的，在大灾难过后，人们会竭尽全力伸出援
手，但是既便如此，仍然是杯水车薪。
It had
been seven days since a tornado devastated
Wisteria Lane, and the residents continued to pick
up
the pieces of their lives. Some
salvaged precious friendships. Some uncovered
colorful histories. Others
found
challenges they hadn't expected. And then...there
was one girl...who stumbled upon the truth she'd
long been searching for...only...to
wish she hadn't.
龙卷风侵袭了紫藤巷后，已经过了七天了，那里的
居民还在试图寻回往日生活的点点滴滴，有些人挽救了
珍贵的友谊，有的人想起了幸福多
彩的过去，还有些人必须面对料想不到的挑战，然而，还有一个女孩，
偶然之中发现了她
一直想知道的真相，只是，她宁愿不曾知道。

Faith is a belief in something that
cannot be proven. So we trust in the words of the
only father we've ever
known. We
believe the promises of the woman who shares our
bed. We rely on the example of dear
friends who help us to be better
people. Yes, we all want to believe in those we
are closest to, but where
there is
doubt, our faith begins to vanish... and fear
rushes in to take its place.
信仰是你所相信却又无
法证明的东西。所以我们相信我们唯一认识的父亲的话，我们相信跟我们同床共枕
的女人
的誓言，我们以最好的朋友为榜样，他们能帮助我们完善自己。是的，我们都愿意相信我们亲近的
人，但当疑虑出现时，我们的信仰开始消失不见
……
取
而代之的是恐惧。

Blindness--it's an affliction that
prevents people from seeing what is right in front
of them...like the wives
who can't
detect the jealousy that consumes their
husbands...the women unable to see that a rival
might
also be a friend...the men who
stay oblivious to the guilt that lies deep within
them. Yes...The world is
