Enough is enough
适可而止
Betty Glover was in a militant mood as she approached to Brian, her husband of 25 years.
蓓蒂·格劳佛和丈夫布莱思已经结婚25年了。
Your idea of what you call our happy matrimony has been nothing but a mirage, a figment of your minimalist imagination.
一天，她怒气冲冲地走到丈夫面前说道：你所谓的我们的幸福婚姻不过就是一个幻景，是你这种最低限要求者所臆想出来的。
The amount of money you have been providing me with has been minuscule, just a bare minimum of support a loyal wife and mother might expect.
你拿来养家的钱实在是微乎其微，就是一位忠实的妻子和母亲所能企盼的勉强维持生计所需的最低数额。
It's a miracle how I've been able to bring up the children on such a pittance.
我靠这么微薄的薪水带大了孩子们真是一个奇迹。
But darling, Brian was looking for words.
但是，亲爱的……布莱思不知该说什么是好。
Don't you darling me no more? I know why I've had to put up with male chauvinism and meanness for many millennia.
不要再叫我亲爱的！我深深知道，几千年以来，做妻子的就得忍受丈夫的大男子主义和小气。
You have been forcing me to minimize left, right and center, forcing me to go for minimum expenditure on our household necessities.
你总是强迫我充分利用一切，把损失减到最小，强迫我在家居必需品上花最少的钱。
The only thing you like to spend money on is your miniature railway.
你惟一愿意花钱的东西就是你的微型铁路。
The enjoyment I have derived from being with you has been minimal, to say the least.
至少，我和你在一起极少有欢乐。
You're lucky that I belong to that small minority of wives who stay for the sake of their children.
你还是幸运的，因为我属于那种极少数为了孩子愿意留在家里的母亲。
But now the kids are out of the house, I have reached another milestone in my life.
但是现在，孩子们都已经长大成人离开了家，我也到了生命中的另一个里程碑。
I've had enough of miming your words to them, just to pretend we're a happy couple.
我受够了那种把你的话模仿说给孩子们的日子，就为了假装我们是幸福的两口子。
I've had enough of being mimetic, and I'm no longer staying in this miserable Muja.
我讨厌模仿，我再也不打算在这种悲惨的环境中继续生存下去了！
But, Brian gasped.
但是…布莱恩气喘吁吁地说道。
No but Betty cut him off, I've had enough of this mimicry of copying whatever you do, laughing at your jokes, go and find another fool to mimic your lifestyle.
没有什么‘但是'，蓓蒂打断他，我实在是受够了这种一切都模仿的日子，受够了这种对于你说的笑话必须放声大笑的日子。去找另一个傻瓜来摹拟你的生活方式吧！
It is quite miraculous that I am managed to last this long, I'm getting away to mingle with a whole new set of people.
我能做到呆这么长时间已经是不可思议了！我准备离开你， 与另一类完全不同的人交往。
