It’s okay. I wasn’t in love with him.
你真觉得我是个婊♥子♥吗
Do you really think I’m a bitch?
-是啊 -就是
– Well, yeah. – I know.
但谁不是啊
But who isn’t?
茱莉亚
Julia.
我一直想着我和茱莉亚
I’ve been thinking about me and Julia.
她是一个政♥府♥机关的秘书 我也是
She was a secretary for a government agency and I am, too.
嫁给了一个超好的男人 我也是
A really nice guy married her. A really nice guy married me.
我们俩都茫然过
Both of us were lost
我们俩都差不多是在食物中找到生活重心
And both of us were saved by food in some way or other.
有好多相像处吧 但是现实点 我不是朱莉娅·蔡尔德
So major overlaps. But let’s face it, I am not Julia Child.
茱莉亚·查尔德不会因为
Julia child never lost her temper
煮糊锅了就大发脾气
Just because something boiled over,
或是在炉子前崩溃 或者不干了
Or collapsed in the oven, or just plain fell through.
而且她绝对没有冲她老公大吵大闹过
And she was never horrible to her husband, I’m sure.
还有她绝没有好像跟”没时间维持婚姻”那样
And she never behaved like, “Who has time to be married?”
我有时就那样 我很惭愧
Which is how I behave sometimes, I’m sorry to say.
我希望我能像她多一点
I wish I were more like her.
她理应被她老公疼 我就不配
She deserved her husband and I don’t.
真的不配
That’s the truth.
至少目前不配
Well, anyway, that’s the truth for now.
晚上就吃酸奶了
Yogurt for dinner.

That’s how I’m to recognize her.
你说”认出来”是什么意思 她变化大吗
What do you mean, “Recognize her”? Has she changed?

认识啊 我们给对方写信

你们是怎么写起来的
But how did you start writing one another?
说来话长
That’s a long story.
艾维斯的老公 伯尔纳德·德·渥托 已经过世了
Avis’ husband, Bernard De Voto, now dead,
是个超级超级棒的作家
Was a wonderful, wonderful writer.
他在《哈珀斯杂♥志♥》上发表了一篇关于不锈钢刀
He wrote an article in Harper’s magazine all about stainless steel knives
-以及他有多讨厌它们的文章 -然后呢
– And how he absolutely detested them. – Yes.
然后我就给他写信 因为他说的太对了
And so I wrote him a fan letter because he was 100% right
艾维斯给我回的信
And Avis wrote me back.
然后我又写给她 她又写给我
And so I wrote her back. And she wrote me back.
