eg: Do you like this version as it stands, or should I make revisions?

Listen, I know this is a real imposition…
我知道这样的要求很不合理，……
有些同学一看字幕imposition，查字典，税收？啥情况…
其实这里imposition 并不是这个意思

impose [ɪmˈpəʊz] 除了表示征税之外，可以表示强迫某人做某事
to force someone to accept something, especially a belief or way of living
所以imposition [ˌɪmpə'zɪʃn] 一样也有这个意思 强迫；勉强别人；强人所难
eg: Would it be too much of an imposition to ask you to pick my parents up from the airport?
让你帮我把我父母从机场接回来，会不会太麻烦你了？

Do me a favor, Rex. Please don’t mistake my anal retentiveness for actual affection.
Rex, 帮个忙，别把我的好习惯误以为是爱你。

anal [ˈeɪ.nəl] retentiveness
到底跟肛门有什么关系？
心理学上的一个概念
肛门克制型的一种个性特征
跟儿童时期克制粪便排泄有关而形成的习惯，态度和价值观。
It is often used in nontechnical contexts to describe someone as extremely or excessively neat, careful, or precise
极度的整洁；仔细；谨小慎微
和剧中Bree倒确实非常符合。
