菲洛梅娜

-漂亮但是普通 -我就喜欢普通女孩
– Well, she’s pretty but she’s plain. – I like plain girls.
她的主人命令她
Yes, well, and she’s been told that
必须通宵工作
she has to work all through the night
用最上等的丝绸织成漂亮的斗篷
to weave a beautiful cloak of the finest silk
给他在婚礼当天穿
for the master to wear in his wedding day.
于是第二天一早
So in the morning,
她把斗篷拿给他看
she shows him the cloak
并且问到”您觉得怎么样 好先生”
and she asks him “What do you think, kind sir?”
他回答道”太漂亮了
And he says, “It’s beautiful.
我这辈子从没见过这么漂亮的东西”
I’ve never seen anything more beautiful in my whole life”.
但是你猜怎么着
But guess what,
他根本没在看那件斗篷
he’s not even looking at the cloak.
他是在盯着她看
He’s looking at her.
我可没猜到这个结果 马丁
Well, I didn’t see that coming, Martin.
真是怎么都猜不到
Not in a million years.
