Bree Van De Kamp

Martha Huber

文中有三處省略號... 希望大家注意

Competition. It means different things to different people. In suburbia, it means keeping up with the Joneses. On Wisteria Lane, that means keeping up with Bree Van De Kamp. Everyone knew Bree had the nicest lawn in the neighborhood. And no one begrudged her this. No one, that is, except Martha Huber, whose own lawn paled in comparison. No matter how carefully she trimmed... or how lovingly she watered... or how generously she fertilized... the grass was always greener on the other side of the fence.
攀比。它意味著不同的東西,對于不同的人來說。在鄰里之間攀比就是趕時髦。而在紫藤郡則是和Bree Van De Kamp 作競爭。所有人都知道在鄰里之間Bree家的草坪是最漂亮的。而且沒人在這方面嫉妒她。是的沒有一個人會,除了Martha Huber,她的草坪在(與Bree)攀比中黯然失色。不論她多么細心的裁剪,又或是她多么用心的澆水,再或是她多么慷慨的施肥...卻總是籬笆另一側(Bree家)的草坪更加芳草凄凄,綠色動人。 ——譯文來自: sunday_wind
