第九季 第十八集
Lillian 下次你再被完美主义
Lillian, the next time your perfectionist tendencies
弄得心烦意乱的时候 记住这句话
drive you to distraction, just remember this quotation
Henry James说的
from Henry James:
"得过且过无需精益求精"
"Excellence does not require perfection."
很有用 谢谢
That's very helpful. Thank you.
客串来电者为著名演员 乡村音乐歌♥手Naomi Judd
还是"须要"
Or is it "Demand"?
嗯 需要 须要 得过且过无需精益求精
Hmm, require, demand. Excellence does not require perfection.
得过且过无须精益求精
Excellence does not demand perfection.
两者有什么不一样吗
Aren't they the same thing?
当然不一样 Roz 闭嘴
Of course not, Roz, shush.
完美 须要 需要 须要 需要
Excellence, demand. Require, demand. Require.
噢 还是"必要" - 我真的要挂了
Oh! Or is it "Mandate"? - I really have to go now.
好吧 反正也不重要 对吧
Oh, well, doesn't really matter anyway, does it?
与此同时 西雅图 我是Frasier Crane医生
Ha, ha, meantime, Seattle, this is Dr. Frasier Crane
祝您诸事顺利
wishing you good day... Oh,
是 是"需要" "是需要"
it's... It's "Require." It is "Require."
哈哈 并祝您身心健康
Ha, ha, and good mental health.
Frasier - 在
Frasier. - Yeah?
你能替我把这个交给Freddie吗
Would you please give this to Freddie for me?
为他明天的拼字比赛准备的
It's for his spelling bee tomorrow.
Roz 可不是简单的拼字比赛 是全国总决赛
Roz, it's not a spelling bee, it's the national championship.
噢 Lilith什么时候来
Oh. Ew, when is Lilith coming in?
好吧 其实 她不会来
Well, actually, she's not coming in.
她会在家看比赛
She'll be watching the competition from home.
她在州级决赛上跳了段胜利之舞
Her victory dance at state finals
就被禁止入场了
earned her a long overdue suspension.
这是什么玩意儿
So, what is this anyway?
一枚压扁的硬币 我有次在铁轨上捡到的
It's a flattened penny. I found it at the railroad tracks once
当时我诸事不顺
when I was going through a really bad time,
但当我一捡起来 就时来运转了
but as soon as I picked it up, started getting lucky.
所以一切是这么开始的啊
Oh, so that's where it all started. Hmm.
不是
No.
为什么你要把我的一番好意讲得那么龌蹉
Why are you turning a nice gesture into something dirty?
抱歉 Roz 我知道它没带给你那方面的好运
I'm sorry, Roz. I know it didn't bring you that kind of luck.
谢谢 - 不然那枚硬币要累死了
Thank you. - That would be one tired penny.
来自西雅图的Eddie Crane 你的单词是"狼"
Eddie Crane from Seattle, your word is "Woof."
W-o-o-f
W-o-o-f.
很好
Very good.
来自马塞诸塞州的Frederick Crane
Frederick Crane from Massachusetts,
你的单词是"拟声"
your word is "Onomatopoeia."
错
Wrong.
你的膝盖呢 我要看见拼字比赛专用膝盖
Where are your knees? I wanna see spelling knees.
哦 对 没错
Oh, yeah, right.
你绝对不想
Last thing you wanna do
因为膝盖锁死而在台上晕倒
is pass out on stage because of locked knees.
我知道 Allison Sharf 弗里斯科眩晕者
I know. Allison Sharf, the Frisco Fainter.
她叮铃哐啷地倒下了
She went down like a sack of hammers.
好的 现在
All right, now,
你去照照走廊里的镜子 好好看看你的站姿
go to the hallway mirror and look at your form.
你俩对这事是不是太上心了
Aren't you two going a little overboard with this?
模拟演练 站姿训练 拼字食谱
The drills, the stance, the spelling diet.
爸爸 Freddie真的很想赢下这场比赛
Dad, Freddie really wants to win this competition.
我要竭尽全力帮助他
I'm doing my best to help him.
但你们也不应该练过头呀
Well, you shouldn't overtrain him.
他应该找点乐子
He needs to have some fun.
我允许他带单簧管了
I told him he could bring his clarinet.
好吧 我会和他谈谈的
All right, I'll talk to him.
谢谢 爸爸 我想我知道怎么站了
Thanks, Dad. I think I got my stance down now.
好孩子
Good boy.
Frederick 请坐 我有件事要和你说
Frederick, have a seat for a minute. Something I wanna tell you.
听着
Listen,
我不希望你
I don't want you
一门心思扑在拼字比赛上 好吗
to get consumed by this spelling-bee thing, all right?
你是拼字能手还是拼字高手
It's not important if you're a good speller
并不重要
or the best speller.
重要的是你玩的开心
The important thing is that you have fun.
好吗 - 好的 爸爸
Okay? - Okay, Dad.
你知道怎样能让我开心吗 - 怎样
Know what'd be really fun? - What's that?
在拼字比赛上大展拳脚 - 哈哈
Kicking butt in the spelling bee. - Ha, ha.
噢 Niles Daph - 各位好
Oh, Niles, Daph. - Hello, all.
听着 我恐怕有个坏消息
Listen, I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
我只能搞到两张明天拼字比赛决赛的门票
I could only get two tickets for the spelling-bee competition tomorrow.
噢 真遗憾 但我们的精神与你同在 哈哈
Oh, that's a shame. But we'll be there in spirit, ha, ha.
这样也挺好的
It's probably just as well,
考虑到我一看到孩子们比赛
considering how emotional I get
就会变得多么情绪化
watching children compete.
一直在想这对他们来说意味着什么
Keep thinking how much it means to them.
就像一个在烛光下苦读的女孩
Like the little girl who studies over candlelight
而她的爸爸却在当地酒馆
while her father's down at local pub,
喝光了用来付电费的钱 哈哈
drinking away the money for the light bill, ha, ha.
也像坐在校车上的女孩
Or the little girl on the school bus
假装看不见她的爸爸
who pretends not to see her father
正在当地酒馆和她挥手
waving at her from the pub.
也像一个以为只要好好表现
Then there's the little girl who thinks that by doing well,
长大后就能买♥♥下当地酒馆
she can grow up, purchase the local pub
再改造成马戏城
and turn it into a circus
这样他的爸爸就能信守承诺的小姑娘
so her father can keep his promise.
我俩午饭时喝了点酒
We had a little wine at lunch.
别担心票子的事
Don't worry about the tickets.
虽然我很乐意到现场支持Freddie
Uh, while I would have gone to support Freddie,
但我必须承认 我一点也不想
I have to admit, I wasn't looking forward
重回那里 - 哦
to being back in that environment. - Oh.
别被比赛的浮华和光芒分心
Don't get sidetracked by all the glitz and glamour of the bee.
好好拼字就是最好的奖励
Spelling well is its own reward.
刚刚那一出是怎么回事
What was that about?
你叔叔Niles和拼字比赛有一段痛苦的过往
Well, your Uncle Niles has a painful history with spelling bees.
真的吗 他厉害吗 - 所有参赛者中的佼佼者之一
Really? Was he any good? - Ah, one of the best to ever compete.
比你还厉害吗 爸爸
Better than you, Dad?
儿子
Son,
厉害如我 也无法和Niles相提并论
as good as I was, my spelling couldn't compare with Niles'.
他就站在那里
He was right up there
面对着来自阿克伦城的William Kerek
with the likes of William Kerek from Akron
来自奥马哈的叫Peterson的姑娘
and that Peterson girl from Omaha.
而且你叔叔年纪更小
Except your uncle was even younger.
有些人说他没有准备好
Some people thought he wasn't ready, that it was a mistake
还说带一个小学刚毕业的孩子
to bring him up to the show
去参加比赛是个错误的决定
right out of elementary school,
但他一路杀到决胜局
but he made it all the way to the last word.
后来呢
What happened?
他压根没打算拼写
He didn't even try to spell it.
他就在那儿站了一会儿
He just stood there for a moment
转身下台了
and turned and walked off-stage.
他立马被取消比赛资格 从此以后再也不比赛了
He was immediately disqualified and he never competed again.
再也没有过
Never?
当然 他现在偶尔也会拼写
Sure, he'd spell now and again,
但都是帮帮忙而已 不到万不得已是不会出手的
but only to help you out, and you had to really need it,
十米开外他就能识别出是不是陷阱了
because he could spot a setup a mile away.
听起来像他卡壳了
Wow, sounds to me like he choked.
卡壳了
Choked?
还是一场精心策划阴谋诡计的受害者
Or was he the victim of an elaborate conspiracy?
真的吗
Really?
噢 我以为他下楼了 他是卡壳了
Oh, I thought I heard him coming down the hall. He choked.
多语症 呃 能告诉我是什么意思嘛
Logorrhea. Um, can I have a definition?
啊噢 不是个好兆头
Uh-oh. Always a bad sign.
话说得太多
Excessive use of words.
L-O-G-O-R-H-E-A 多语症
L-O-G-O-R-H-E-A. Logorrhea.
抱歉 错误
I'm sorry. That's incorrect.
再见啦 自学的
So long, homeschool.
刚刚结束了第十轮比赛
And that completes the tenth round.
