重點講解：
1. Julie: Wow.Do you think somebody broke in?
broke in :破門而入
2. Policeman:You can sign up for either daily or nightly patrols. I know that might seem a bit like overkill, but I assure you.
Sign up for:簽名同意參加 patrol:巡邏
3. Susan: Actually I do have a question. Do you have a second?
Do u have a second:意思是你有時間么？很常用的一句話，在你想打擾某人的時候可以用到。
4. Gabrielle:So why weren't you sitting with Mike tonight? I thought you two were becoming an item.
Item:這里是解釋一對的意思，GABY是問SUSAN為什么不和MIKE坐在一起，她以為他們早成一對了呢。
5. Bree: Oh,please! I would have hosted it myself, only the kids are going away to the mountains tomorrow and there's camping equipment everywhere.
看得出么，這是句虛擬語句，BREE說，應該由她組織這次會議的，但因為她的孩子明天要去參加野營，家里堆放著野營要準備的東西，意思就是沒地方。Equipment:是個不可數名詞，原意是裝備，設備的意思，這里是指為了去野營而準備的東西，泛指。
6. Lynette: We need you to recommend Porter and Preston. We can't even get an interview.
Bree: Oh,you want me to recommend the twins?
Lynette:Yes, you can tell them how beautifully behaved the boys are.
Bree: So you want me to lie?
Lynette:Yeah. I thought that was understood.
Bree: It's just that I'm very well respected at Barcliff, and my word won't be good there anymore.
Lynette:Yes, but by the time they realise their mistake we'll be in.
Lynette:You're not having any more kids. What do you care?
Bree: Well,I had hoped someday to get my grandchildren into Barcliff. But I suppose that doesn't matter to you, does it?
Lynette: It really doesn't.
這段對話是LYNETTE希望BREE可以介紹她的雙胞胎兒子去BREE她們家小孩上的那所學校。、
recommend：推薦 介紹 interview:面試 respect:尊敬
這段對話中的BREE很有意思，說話太直接了，一聽到LYNETTE希望她推薦，就說難道希望她撒謊么？LYNETTE的TWINS的確太頑皮，更本就沒有什么好的表現。BREE補充到，她如果真的推薦他們進去，萬一他們的表現被校方發現了，沒有說的那么好，那以后BREE的話就沒人相信了。LYNETTE回答說就算被發現了，他們早就入學啦。再說BREE不可能再有孩子了，擔心什么呢？意思是不會再做任何推薦了。BREE想得到是很遠，說如果她當上了祖母，她會介紹她的孫子孫女去。
7. Mama Solis:I came to visit my son and daughter in law. What does it look like?
Daughter in law:字面上是法律定義下的女兒，其實就是媳婦的意思。又例如mother in low:岳母的意思，這樣的用法很單一，所以很好理解。
8. Lynette:Yes. Completely identical. You can't tell them apart. They're like bookends.
Identical：這里可以解釋成雙胞胎的意思，原意是相同的，一樣的。 Tell:這里不解釋告訴，而是區分的意思。
9. Tom: Yeah,they bark and growl at each other.
這里我們看到TOM形容自己孩子的2個詞相當夸張bark:原意是狗的叫聲，growl是咆哮，都是絕對瘋狂的意思了，呵呵，有父母這么形容自己的孩子的。其實我覺得老美在用詞上真的是蠻有意思的，這里我們可以理解為相互玩耍，相互辯論打鬧。其實小孩子都這樣啊，尤其是雙胞胎。還記得TOM有次說他們養了對terrorists(恐怖分子)么？而想而知他們的TWINS有多調皮了，不過我覺得2個小演員真的蠻可愛的。
10. Rex: Honey,I know it's hard to hear, but the marriage counselling may not work out. You need to get used to being alone.
Get used to ：習慣做某事 used to do :過去常常做某事
11. Officer Thompson: I just came by to tell you that I took your evidence into the lab for fingerprints.
Come by:路過，經過 lab:實驗室，其實是laboratory的縮寫。Fingerprints:指紋
12. Susan: Oh!Uh, you seem like a really sweet guy, in an interesting line of work. But I um I'm not really available.
Available:是個很好的詞語，很常用，這里解釋有空么？其實往往是指一個人想知道對方是單身還是有男女朋友的意思。如果你想約誰出去，就可以這么說“ARE U AVAILABLE ？”
13. Officer Thompson: So you're really turning me down? Boy, my self esteem can't take this.
這里我們又看到了BOY，不是解釋男孩的意思，就是語氣詞。Turn me down:讓我很尷尬，很難堪。
Esteem:尊重，尊敬的意思 myself esteem：自尊心
14. Mike: I screwed up. I broke into the Fome house and almost got caught.
Screwed up:弄糟 事情沒辦成 get catch:被抓
