美剧<<生活大爆炸>>中有一段关于awful的对话

摘自生活大爆炸S10E05

以下是对话文本

Come on. What is really going on with you?

佩妮  我要给你讲一个

Penny, I am going to tell you a story

我从来没跟任何人说过的故事

that I've never told anyone.

好吧

All right.

当时我十三岁

I was 13 years old,

正值大学休春假

and on spring break from college.

没共鸣  继续说

Not relating. Go on.

我提早回家  

I came home early

因为他们已经没有能教我的数学了

because they ran out of math to teach me.

我懂  他们也没有能教我的数学

Oh, now I'm with ya. Okay.

我妈妈当时去参加圣经研读班了

My mother was at bible study.

我走进房子  本以为没人在家

I walked in the house expecting to find it empty,

却听到我父母的卧室里有声音传出来

and I heard a sound coming from my parents' bedroom.

当我打开卧室门

When I opened the door,

看到了我父亲和另一个女人在"结合"

I saw my father having relations with another woman.

-太糟糕了  -我知道

- Oh, that's awful! - I know.

所以从此以后我开任何门

It's also why I never open a door

都需要先敲三次

without knocking three times.

第一下是按传统礼貌

I mean, the first one's traditional,

二和三都是给里面的人穿裤子的时间

but two and three are for people to get their pants on.
