11．Susan Meyer, who lives across the street, brought macaroni and cheese.
Her husband Carl always teased her about her macaroni, saying it was the
only thing she knew how to cook, and she rarely made it well. It was too
salty the night she and Carl moved into their new house.
macaroni and cheese：干酪通心面，看看圖就知道一定很美味了。
teased her about：因….取笑她
12．JULIE: Mom, why would someone kill themselves?
SUSAN: Well, sometimes people are so unhappy they think it's the only way they can solve their problems.
JULIE: But Mrs. Young always seemed happy.
SUSAN: Yeah, sometimes people pretend to be one way on the outside and they're totally different on the inside.
SUSAN的最后那句話很耐人尋味吧，也真的很有道理。知人知面不知心啊。
13．MARY ALICE:(to SUSAN) So? What did Carl say when you confronted him?
SUSAN: You'll love this, he said it doesn't mean anything, it was just sex.
BREE: Oh yes, page one of the philanderer's handbook.
SUSAN: Yeah, and then he got this Zen look on his face, and he said, you know Susan, most men live lives of quiet desperation.
LYNETTE: Please tell me you punched him.
SUSAN: No, I said, really? And what do most women lead, lives of noisy fulfillment?
MARY ALICE: Good for you.
SUSAN: I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary? I had that woman over for brunch。
GABRIELLE: It's like my grandmother always said, an erect penis doesn't have a conscience.
LYNETTE: Even the limp ones aren't that ethical.
BREE: This is half the reason I joined the NRA. Well, when Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted at the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home, with a loaded Smith and Wesson.
這段對話是倒敘的手法拍攝的，倒敘到SUSAN發現CARL和他的秘書有一腿。
Confront：使面臨, 對抗 philanderer：愛和女人調情的男人,玩弄女性的男人
philanderer's handbook：花花公子類型的雜志。
Punch：這里應該解釋打他，揍他的意思。
當SUSAN把CARL的婚外情告訴她的朋友時，每個人發出了不同的表態。當MARY ALICE問到CARL是怎么面對她的質問時，CARL的回答是那只不過是性，呵呵，幾乎每個男人都是這么回答的。LYNETTE問到SUSAN 有沒有去揍他，SUSAN說沒有。
Good for you：在這里不是解釋“對你來說是好的”，而是“你說得對”的意思。很常用的一個句子，大家可以在日常生活中用到，簡單的句子，但能看出你很有口語感。
GABY的話絕對有意思，“It's like my grandmother always said, an erect penis doesn't have a conscience.”不知道看我筆記的人都是什么年齡的，這里我就不直翻了。大家可以自己去理解。
14．SUSAN: I don't know.I'm sorry you guys, I just... I just don't know how I'm going to survive this.
Survive：幸免于, 幸存, 生還 這里可以解釋為度過。SUSAN很沮喪，她不知道該如果度過這段日子。很常用的單詞。
15．We all have moments of desperation. But if we can face them head on, that's how we find out just how strong we really are.
這是一句很鼓勵人的話，我覺得很有必要把它背下來。
