重點講解
1. Mrs. McCluskey: "Look. What? Nothing more to say? Cat got your tongue? You listen to me. Keep your brats off my property."
Cat got your tongue:十分形象的比喻,貓把你的舌頭叼去了嗎?意思是為什么不吭聲?brat:乳臭未干的小孩, 小子 property:財產, 所有物,這里就是只東西,物品。
2. Susan: "Well, whatever it was, that boy is seriously disturbed, and I've forbidden Julie from hanging out with him."
Forbid sb from sth: 阻止,禁止某人做某事
3. Lynette: "You're capable of doing all sorts of things."
Be capable of doing sth:有能力做某事
4. Paul: "Oh my god. I uh, had a standing order with the florist. I forgot to cancel it. Mary Alice was my wife. She passed away a few months ago."
Florist:種花人 pass away:過世,去世。又到一年一次的情人節了,PAUL是跟花店關照過,每年這個時候會送MARY ALICE一大籃的花,今年他忘記取消了。這里的PAUL是愛她妻子,還是根本就是敷衍一下,如果是愛對方,不應該每年都自己準備禮物嘛,何必關照花店呢?今年當花店送來了花他才意識到是情人節,暈啊,到底PAUL愛MARY ALICE么?
5. Gabrielle: "No, Mikki, you're wrong. I wasn't acting like a diva. I left the boat show because that coordinator was making passes at me. It's not my fault."
diva:歌劇中的首席女主角 make pass at sb:調戲某人。
6. Lynette: "Well, we could go with the old hickory stick. It's a cliché, but it's pretty effective. I know, we'll go with the spatula. The holes give it less wind resistance. Moves faster."
Hickory:山胡桃木 cliché:陳詞濫調 spatula:鏟子
7. 結束語:Mary Alice Voiceover:"It's impossible to grasp just how powerful love is...it can sustain us through trying times......or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices.....it can force decent men to commit the darkest deeds.....or compel ordinary women to search for hidden truths.....and long after we're gone, love remains burned into our memories.We all search for love, but some of us, after we found it, wish we hadn't."
