英文原文:

Brad: Are you sure it was him?
Femi: I used to date him. Of course it was him.
Brad: You're a nurse at New York General Hospital?
Femi: Yes, on the cancer ward. And Taylor was there. He walked right by me and didn't even see me.
Brad: Maybe he was just visiting someone.
Femi: But you saw how skinny and pale he looks. He has "cancer patient" written all over his face.

参考译文:

费　咪：对，在癌症病房。而且那时候泰勒就在那儿。他从我身边走过时，甚至没看到我。
布莱德：或许他只是去探病。
费　咪：但是你看他的样子多瘦多苍白。他就是一付癌症病患的模样。
