Reverend: Gabrielle! What brings you down here?
加布麗爾，你怎麼來了？
Reverend: Oh, sweet mother of god, what have you done this time?
老天爺，這次你又造了什麼孽？
Mother of God n.聖母瑪利亞
Sweet Mother of God! 這是表示感慨的一種常用說法，相當於說“聖母呀！或者“老天啊”
Reverend: You're pregnant?
你懷孕了？
Gabrielle: Yes. And its impossible, I'm on the pill-which you probably think is a sin, but it works. It's a 99.9% effective sin.
是的，是的，這事根本不可能的， 我一直在吃避孕藥。也許你會認為這是一種犯罪，但這藥
效果很好的。這可是百分之99.9%的有效犯罪呀。Reverend: Maybe it's in that one tenth of a percent that god resides.
也許在那0.1%中有上帝的旨意呢。
reside vi. 居住；屬於；存在
Gabrielle: You couldn't wait to throw that in, could you? Look, god is screwing with me! He doesn't like the way I live my life, so he's punishing me.
你總算逮著機會說教了，是吧？上帝和我耍著玩呢。他看不慣我的生活方式，所以他要懲罰我。
couldn't wait to do 迫不及待做某事
throw sth. in
（1）奉送，額外贈送
You can have the piano for $200, and I 'll throw in the stool as well.
你花200元買走這架鋼琴，另外贈送這張琴凳。
（2）加插評語
Reverend: Have you done something that would warrant being punished?
那你有沒有做什麼會遭報應的事呢？
warrant vt. 擔保；保證；辯解；授權
screw v. 用螺絲擰緊;扭曲（某人的面孔）;〈俚〉佔便宜，詐騙
Reverend: The gardener? I thought that was over.
那個園丁（女主的婚外情人）？我以為那事已經結束了 。
Gabrielle: No, it was-and then...you just had to be there. But, my point is, that I'll be an awful mother. I'm selfish and I'm self-centred. And the only person more self-centred than me is Carlos! I mean, he's so self-centred that he doesn't even know how self-centred I am! We'd be terrible parents!
是結束了，然後，你意會吧，我也說不清，我想說的是，我肯定會是個糟糕的母親，我又自私又自我中心。唯一一個比我還自我中心的人就是卡洛斯。他太自我中心了以至於都未曾意識到我這麼自我中心。我們肯定是一對糟糕的父母親。
No, it was-and then...you just had to be there.女主由於懷孕感到憂心忡忡,一個是她根本就不想生，還有更擔心的是孩子可能不是她老公而是情人的。
You just had to be there. 用了過去時表虛擬，你又不在那兒（指女主的生活中），我沒法說和你清楚，女主生活太複雜又戲劇化，女主承認自己犯下的過錯，但又覺得錯不在自己。所以這裡意譯：你意會吧，我也說不清。
Reverend: Gabrielle, I'd like to help, but I'm not sure what you want.
加布麗爾，我很想幫忙，但我不知道你到底要怎麼樣？
Gabrielle:It's just...I wanna know who to be angry at.
我只是不知道該生誰的氣？
Reverend: Here's a thought.Don't be angry. Be thankful. Children are a gift, are they not?
不如這麼想吧，別生氣，感恩吧，孩子可是上帝的禮物，不是嗎？
Gabrielle: I don't have time for this crap. I have a party to plan.
我沒時間聽你廢話，我還有個派對要籌劃。
