令堂很清楚自己的目标 Your mother knows what she wants
或许这才是致胜关键 and perhaps that's the trick of getting it.
你今晚讲话特别有哲理 You're very philosophical tonight.
只是突然想起爱格姑妈的一番话 I was reminded of something Aunt Agnes said to me.
我们还请了其他客人 - We have some other guests arriving. - They will be shown to your box.
会带去二位的包厢 - We have some other guests arriving. - They will be shown to your box.
等等，会不会走太远啦？ Wait a minute. Haven't we come too far along?

你骗了我 You've tricked me.
温特顿夫人，这就是您要求的头等包厢 Mrs. Winterton, it is a box on the First Tier
温特顿夫人，这就是您要求的头等包厢 just as you wanted.
我先去忙了，祝二位看戏愉快 Now, you must excuse me. Please, enjoy your evening.
明明说好是中央包厢 We were to have the central box.
我们要罗素夫人的包厢 We were to have Mrs. Russell's box. She's made a fool of me!

中央包厢明明给了别人 I gave up the central box.
别想太多 Don't give it another thought.

怎么会这样？ I don't understand.
多数人选择罗素夫人，而非我们 It seems they believed Mrs. Russell and not us.
公爵会来的 But he's coming.
一定会 I know it.
你还是决定勇敢一次 So you were brave after all.
连我自己也没想到 Braver than I knew myself to be.
不能事事顺着阿斯特夫人，对吧？ But Mrs. Astor can't have it all her own way, can she?
动作快，老公 - Do hurry up, dear! - Oh, there's Mrs. Fish.
费许夫人来了 - Do hurry up, dear! - Oh, there's Mrs. Fish.

无所谓，欢迎公爵大驾光临 Late or early, you are very welcome, Duke.
请叫我赫特就好 I hope you will call me Hector.
罗素夫人恐怕不会答应呢 I'm not sure Mrs. Russell will approve of that.
有何不可呢，我答应 Why not? Of course, I approve.
那你也称呼我们的名字就好 And you are to call us George and Bertha and Larry and Gladys.
你说呢？ Would you mind?
母亲都说了，我也只能从命 I don't see how I can when you're only obeying orders.
－那我就宽心了 －公爵开心最重要 - Then I'm glad. - Which is just as it should be.

我原不打算来 I wasn't, but the Academy was a morgue.
但学院太冷清了 I wasn't, but the Academy was a morgue.
所以说，你赢了 The fact is, you've won.
太早庆祝恐非好事 It can be a mistake to celebrate too soon.

事后又毁约 And then he broke it.
或许是钱以外的东西 Perhaps she offered something more.
你是如何说服公爵？ How did you get the Duke to change his mind?
