本文选自Ugly Betty 《丑女贝蒂》,欢迎大家共同欣赏。
Daniel: For two years, you put us through hell, Alex! We thought you were dead! Why couldn’t you talk to me about what you’re going through?
Alexis: I need a new life. We’re not all born into the life we’re supposed to have.
Daniel: Well, we all got new lives … full of grief and rehab.
Alexis: I never thought I’d see any of you again! Then Fey died, and I realized I had a chance to get back at dad.
Daniel: Get back at dad for what? Worshipping you too much?
Alexis: He wasn’t worshipping!
Daniel: Oh, cp,e pm, Alex. You were the golden child. Dad did everything with you. Boy Scouts, football games …
Alexis: Daniel, he figured it out. He hoped tossing a ball around would change things. When I told him I was gonna do this …
Daniel: You actually told him?
Alexis: He said if I went through with the surgery, I’d lose everything. The company, the money … our family. And then, just to make sure I got the message loud and clear … he said he’d rather I were dead.
Daniel: Why didn’t you tell me?
Alexis: Because you’re just like dad. I didn’t want to be rejected twice. This isn’t nearly as fun as it used to be.
