Ellie: I don't believe it. I just got off the phone with my mother and she dropped a bombshell.
埃莉：難以置信。我剛跟媽媽通完電話，她給我丟下一枚重磅炸彈。
Laurent: What did she tell you?
勞倫：她說什么了？
Ellie: She’s thinking of remarrying.

Laurent: Are your parents divorced?
勞倫：你的父母離婚了嗎？
Ellie: No, my mother is a widow. My father passed away eight years ago.
埃莉：不是的，我媽媽是寡婦。我爸爸八年前去世了。
Laurent: Oh, I’m sorry. You don’t approve of your prospective stepfather?
勞倫：哦，很抱歉唐突了。你不想要有個繼父是嗎？
Ellie: Uh, don’t use that term. I don't like or dislike him. It’s just that my mother should not be remarrying—period. She should stay true to my father’s memory.
埃莉：呃，請不要用這種詞匯。我對他沒有感情或者說不喜歡他。我只是覺得我媽媽短期內不應該再婚。她應該保持對我父親的忠貞。
Laurent: After eight years?
勞倫：在八年之后嗎？
Ellie: Theirs was a picture-perfect marriage. How could she forget about it and take up with this other guy?

Laurent: I’m sure she’s not trying to replace him. She just wants a new love in her life.
勞倫：我敢肯定你媽媽并無此意。她只是想在余生開始一段新的感情。
Ellie: My father was the love of her life. This other guy is a pale substitute.
埃莉：我父親才是她畢生所愛。而那個男人充其量不過是個卑微的替代品。
Laurent: Can’t you just be happy for her?
勞倫：你就不能祝福她嗎？
Ellie: I’m never betraying my father’s memory.
埃莉：我永遠都不會背叛我的父親。
Laurent: Does that mean you’ll never marry?
勞倫：你的意思是你不打算結婚？
Ellie: Well, no, I can stay true to my father’s memory and still get married.
埃莉：呃，不是的，我忠于父親跟我結婚是兩碼事。
Laurent: So can your mother!
勞倫：你媽媽亦是如此！
