有啊，你得帮我向警方证明，我们没有合谋杀死我的丈夫。
-George: Okay.
好吧！
-Bree: So because of the anomalies in Rex's blood, the police started to wonder if I'd been poisoning Rex.

看来你通过了。

theory: 说法 poison: 毒死
算是吧。不过警察倒是认为如果不是我自己下的毒，也许你帮了忙。
-George: You're kidding.
kidding: 开玩笑
你开玩笑的吧！
-Bree: No, that's why I need you to take the polygraph, too.
没有，所以你也得去测谎。

什么？

这是证明警方犯错最好的办法。
-George: I. I don't understand. We're just friends.
我不很明白。我们只是朋友。
Why would the police assume that people in a platonic relationship would want to murder someone?
assume: 假定 platonic: 柏拉图式的，精神上的 relationship: 关系 murder: 谋杀

那个测试，问了一些关于你的问题，关于我们是否认识，我承认了，这是事实。
And then they asked me something else, something I hadn't considered.

according to: 按照，根据 polygraph: 测谎器 exactly: 恰好地，正好地
但测谎仪显示，我撒谎了。
-George: Well, I don't, I don't know if that means anything. Polygraphs aren't completely reliable.

我不知道这说明了什么，那东西有时并不那么准确。
-Bree: I think perhaps the machine picked up on something, something that I wasn't aware of.
pick up: 偶然发现 aware of: 意识到，知道 aware: 意识
也许是机器测出了一些东西，一些我没留意的东西。
-George: Wow.
喔。

detective: 侦探   
所以你需要去做这个测试，回答一些问题，
because I'm not going to know exactly how I feel until we put this behind us, but then, once we do...
put behind: 放在后面，拒绝考虑
我不知道我们将会怎样发展，除非我们可以解决这问题，只要解决了,那时...
