of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 1/2 feet.
ふたりの姉妹　共通点がない　足のサイズが同じことをのぞけば。

Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a party girl who barely graduated from high school・・
マギー（妹）は、尻軽少女で、かろうじて卒業したのが高校という・・

Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless
繰り返される失業状態は　彼女を実質ホームレスにする

as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives.
彼女はウロウロする　友人と親戚との間を。

Rose (Toni Collette) is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law firm・・
ローズ（姉）はプリスントン出身の弁護士でトップ法律事務所にいる

Her low self esteem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life non-existent.
彼女の自信のなさが　外見に対して　男関係を遠ざけていた。

while stealing her clothes, her money and a potential boyfriend.
盗んだのは服やお金、そして恋人までも。

After a calamitous falling out,
悲惨な言い争いの後、

the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another・・
ふたりの姉妹は、でこぼこの道を進む　正しい評価のほうへと　互いに。

Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.
そして姉妹は学ぶ　どう仲直りするか、お互いに。

and the screenplay by Susannah Grant (based on the novel by Jennifer Weiner) establishes them as characters
脚本が仕立てたキャラクターとは

who have lived their lives well by accumulating experience
裕福に暮らす　積み重ねた経験で

and instinctively knowing how to deal with the likes of Maggie.
直感で知る　どう対処するか、マギーのような女性と

is that on the one hand they're opposites.
まず、ふたりが正反対ということ。

Maggie is beautiful, but thinks she's dumb.
妹は美しいのに、自分がバカだと思い込んでいる。

Rose is an over-achiever and thinks she's homely.
姉は努力家だが、自分は地味だと感じている。

But they're actually two sides of the same coin.
しかし、ふたりは完全に表裏、同じコインの。

They're connected through their mutual dependency, through habit, through love.
つながっていて、お互いを必要としている。

And it's not until trauma breaks them apart
違うのは、トラウマがふたりを引き裂いておらず

that they're forced to function as individuals,
無理やり、個人の役割を果たしているわけではない

which actually liberates them,
むしろ、互いを自由にしている

allowing them to go their own way, and in a sense discover their true selves."
認めた　互いの道を行くことを　ある意味を　見つけた　本当の自分を。」
