7. George: I'm sure it will all work itself out. You know, it's funny running into you both. I happen to have extra tickets to a bonsai exposition in Mount Pleasant Friday night. Would you like to go?
work itself out:這里是指藥起效果。BREE說REX的醫(yī)生把劑量調(diào)高了2倍,因為REX的病沒什么起色,她怎么也不會想到是GEORGE動了手腳。Bonsai:盆景
8. George: Strictly platonic. But if you feel threatened?
Strictly: 嚴格地, 確實地 platonic: 柏拉圖主義的, 理想的
9. George: So are you going to make a purchase today?
Bree: Do you know, I've finally convinced Rex to buy his first orchid.
George: Make sure you study up. I hate people who own precious flowers and don't know how to take proper care of them。
Rex: You know what I hate? Weeds. They just pop up out of nowhere and you have to work so hard to get rid of them.
George: I find that with the right chemicals you can get rid of anything.
make a purchase: 買東西相當于BUY convinced sb to do sht: 說服某人做某事 orchid: 蘭花
study up: 這里是做好準備的意思 pop up: 突然出現(xiàn) get rid of: 擺脫, 除去
這是GEORGE和REX的一段對話,相當有趣,不知道大家有沒有聽出引深意義呢,orchid其實是比喻BREE,GEORGE是說REX不知道如何珍惜關(guān)愛BREE,而REX說GEORGE是野草weeds,突然冒出來,他會想盡一切方法祛除掉。

carry my eldest: 懷著長子,這位銷售小姐不只生了一胎,國外生2,3個不希奇。child safety seat: 兒童安全椅,在國外,嬰兒如果坐在車內(nèi),一定要坐在一個嬰兒專用的兒童椅中,Lynette的小女兒坐的那個就是。
