16、our families to be there.Amy: Well, Ben, this is not the type of wedding that you 我没闻到早饭的香味，外公要喝杯咖啡。那你得自己动手了，这是新规矩。我错过啥好戏了？我告诉艾米如果她想抚养孩子，就要自己照顾孩子。你为啥不能照顾孩子？因为我要找工作。做什么？你连哲学学士学位都没，你想当哲学家，那张学历可少不了。乔治，你该搬出去找个新家了。我想先喝杯咖啡。然后你就可以找个新家了。我们破产了。是吗？我觉得这几个月突然就破产的可能性不大，你藏了私房钱吧。你现在成了侦探兼哲人嘛？那你怎么就没算到艾米会怀孕和怀孕的原因呢？乔治
17、，我认真的，我要你搬出去，我们离婚，而且我学的不是哲学，是女性研究。显然，我没看过你的学位证书，而且我也不会等你给我煮咖啡。出什么事了？我想你说是紧急情况。我妈决定不帮我养孩子，她早上说，不会帮我照顾孩子，她要去上班，而且是现在这个最糟的时候，孩子 3 个月后就会出生。为什么是现在？你还愿意娶我吗？当然，但不幸的是，你父母明确反对。这次我不想听他们的，你也一样，你爸爸也是，我们不得不这么做。我们还没到法定年龄。你想娶我吗？当然，我说过的，但我希望到时我们家人在场。The Secret Life of American Teenager 11212send out invitations to

25、ecause I wanted to have sex with 本，不是那种给别人请帖的婚礼仪式，我们要私奔。似乎你考虑得很周全了，你怎么过来的？我妈顺路载我的，说她要找工作，但我太想吃早餐了，而且想当面和你谈谈。要和我爸谈谈，我希望他到场。不用，我们找几个证婚人就行。你准备啥时候行动？越快越好，反正今晚我们要出来的，不如去把婚给结了？好啊，反正几年内我们是要结婚的，那么何乐而不为呢？事不宜迟。你不能和里奇出去。不，爸妈不是这么说的，他们可喜欢他呢，他们只是要更深入的了解。细细了解。细细了解？他们永远不会了解他，他们不会让你和他出去，永远不会，就像他们不会让我和贝蒂出去，永远不会。没错，你不
26、能和网络卖淫女出去。但我能和里奇出去，对吗？当你了解他后？汤姆，你能回避下吗？我说错了吗？我记得你说过，了解里奇后，我就可以和他交往。宝贝，我决定了，我考虑了我们的谈话，如果你想，你可以和里奇出去，呆多晚都行，但必须让我知道你在哪，和谁一起，在做什么。真的吗？什么时候决定的？当你爸决定周末和朋友去打高尔夫球的时候。他还因为我不小心听到的那事难过吗？你听错了，当时我和乔治之间的第三者不是你爸，所以他根本不知道这事。而你觉得我们让你保持婚前贞洁是伪善的，这让我很难过。我和你爸的确是婚后才有性行为的，我也想让你这样。格瑞丝，我妈妈很严格，嫁给乔治前，我没和任何男性有过身体接触，The Secret

Mom, you put your hard-earned money into this condo in this neighborhood, so I can go to my school. Its a magnet
32、 school. Its a great school.Cindy: But you dont have great friends. Look, this could be a fresh start.Adrain: Or it would set me back.

35、不会让你们离婚什么的吧？不，他很快回来，不过是去打趟高尔夫球，我确定几天后他会回来，他只是需要独处一会儿。他确实很难过，我之前不该瞒着他，不过现在没有秘密了，我很高兴。宝贝，吸取教训，做错了事就要承担后果，即使几年内都无法弥补。为啥我不能听这些？知道吗？汤姆，你也可以约会。如果你有兴趣，我给你介绍。如果是艾利安，就算了，格瑞丝要和里奇约会，所以行不通，真不配。不是她，我们有位新邻居，如果你愿意，算是我补你的。转学我倒无所谓，但他该问问你的意见，我觉得这是我们一家人该好好商量的事。他确实说过有熟人帮你转入私立学校，我也没反对。但你也没同意。妈，你把辛苦挣来的钱付房租投入社区，让我上学，我的学校很
36、棒的。但你交的朋友可不咋滴，这可能是个转折点。也可能让我退步，我成绩真的很棒，在班里名列前茅，而且我不想说的，我喜欢他，但他是不可能为我改变的。你也一样，如果你不想去新学校，就直接告诉你爸。我不知道，我也不知道我想怎样，你有想过我们三个一起谈谈吗？我和他说过话，但这么多年都没见过他。你应该见见他，也该让他见见你，你魅力不减当初，让他见见错过的风景。The Secret Life of American Teenager 11212Cindy: You know your father has happily married.Adrain: Youve gone out with a lot o
