Marni: I am so going to miss my favorite TV show when it finally ends this coming season.
当我最爱的电视剧结束了，我一定会很怀念它的。
Rafael: Let me guess. Mad Men.
让我猜猜，《广告狂人》?
Marni: You know it!
你知道!
Rafael: Oh, Don Draper. What a hunk.
Don Draper，多帅气。
Marni: A dream boat. He’s just everything. The quintessential archetype of the ‘60s man. Love it.
他如同梦中情人板迷人。他身上散发着六十年代人典型的特质，好喜欢。
Rafael: Doesn’t it make you angry, how many affairs he has on his wives?
他背着妻子出轨那么多次，你不生气么?
Marni: I do think he’s a misogynistic jerk. But he’s also very compelling, deeply troubled… he’s just a man of mystery. But I think the show in general… he’s an incredibly engaging main character, but the show in general just does such an incredible job of portraying this time in American culture. The ‘60s, and what it was like for this group of people that are pretty affluent, and how they experience all these major cultural events.
我的确觉得他是个厌恶女人的混蛋，但他自己也深陷麻烦。他是一个谜一般的男人。但这部戏总的来说……他是个如此有魅力的主角，这部戏完美地展现了那个时代的美国文化。60年代这群富人的生活，他们如何应对文化事件。
Rafael: I’m just amazed at how many cigarettes they all smoke on that show.
我只是很惊讶他们在戏里抽了多少烟。
Marni: It is a lot. And it’s probably not so good for their health, but people suffer for their art.
的确很多，也许对他们身体不太好，但这也是为艺术献身。
