[John and Justin's Apartment]
(Bree and John sit facing each other in the living room.)
Bree: "She said that you broke up with her because she refused to have sex."
她说你和她分手是因为她拒绝做爱。
John: "Wow. Um, okay, here's the deal. I said that, but it was just an excuse. The truth is, I wasn't that into her.
事情是这样的。我那样说只是找个借口。事实是我并不怎么喜欢她。

Bree: "Really?
真的吗？
John: "And she was always so proud of never having done it, I figured, hey, this is my way out.
她总是很自豪自己是个处女。
我就想，我正好可以拿这个做借口。Bree: "Well, she feels very passionately about you."
她对你用情很深。

John: "Well, don't get me wrong. She's nice, but the truth is, there's someone else."
别误会我的意思。她人很好，只是事实是我心里有人了。
Bree: "Oh, are you going steady?"
喔，你们关系确定了吗？
John: "Not exactly. We were seeing each other pretty regularly but this other lady - girl, she sorta dumped me."
不算是。过去我们常常见面，可是那个女的，女孩甩了我。
Bree: "Oh, I see."
我算是明白了。
John: "Well, look. I'll talk to Danielle, and don't worry, I'll let her down gently."
我会找丹妮尔谈，别担心，我会平静地和她分手。
Bree: "Uh, actually, I would prefer if you didn't."
嗯，事实上，我倒希望你不那么温柔。
John: "Huh?"
Bree: "I know my daughter. She's very determined, and unless you're really firm with her, she's going to continue to think that there's hope."
我了解我女儿。她很执着，除非你态度决绝，否则她还抱有希望。
John: "Okay. I'll be firm."
好的，我会态度坚决。
Bree: "Better still, be brutal."
最好是残忍点。
