每集最末Alice的一段话总是很打动我,于是记下了它们。这是第一季最后一集的:
It's an odd thing to look back on the world to watch those I left behind,each in her own way so brave,so determined and so very desperate.
Desperate to venture out,but afraid what shall miss when she goes ;desperate to get what she wants even she isn't exactly sure of what that is;desperate for life to be perfect again, although she realizes it never really was; desperate for a better future if she can find a way to escape her past.
I not only watch,I chew them on these amazing women,I hope so much they will find that they looking for,but I know not all of them will,sadly, that's not just the way life works, not every one gets a happy ending.
以上一段话可能很好地解释了片名为Desperate Housewives的原因了吧。或许“绝望主妇”并不是很好的中文译名,不过,估计要找一个恰如其分的译名真的不容易,desperate, 很妙。
