1. Mike: "Susan, Officer Romslo is here for your statement."

Statement: 聲明,陳述，這里可以解釋為口供。

2. Mike: "You gotta understand, Zach's had a tough time. He's got emotional issues.

tough time:很常用的一個詞語，形容不容易，很困難的時候。
Emotional：情緒的
issues：時間，通常是泛制，在DH中經常出現，大家可以留意他每次出現是的用法。

3. Mike: "Still, I don't think he meant to hurt anybody."

Mean to do sth:故意做某事,等同于on purpose。Mean有很多種解釋，用途很廣，今后碰到再做具體解釋。

4. Mike: "Actually, Susan fired the gun.

Fire the gun: 開槍動詞是fire

5. Susan: "Okay, that's because I was wrestling it away from Zach so that he wouldn't shoot you."

Wrestle:與(對手)摔跤
shoot:射擊還解釋為打針

6. Julie: "Could we do this later? She's kind of a mess right now."

kind of :有點，在美語中經常用到，還有個意思像近的詞sort of。
mess:混亂，臟亂，也是個很常用的口語，還有個詞組mess up可以解釋為搞糟,陷入困境，相信考過TOEFL的朋友對這個詞很熟悉，在TOEFL的聽力考試中出現頻率很高，經常是抱怨男人的寢室臟亂差。它的形容詞是messy。大家可以參照這句話
“Lynette: "Aah! No! No! No, nobody touches Mommy, okay? I love you, I love your finger painting, but if you touch me with those messy hands, I will cut them off."”

7. Mike: "No, I'm telling you. Susan really flew off the handle when she jumped the kid."
Officer Romslo: "So you're saying this was more of a domestic squabble?"
Mike: "Definitely, yeah. Are we required to press charges?"
Officer Romslo: "Well, you're not really required, but it's something you should really consider when a handgun is involved."

flew off the handle:勃然大怒
a domestic squabble: 家庭爭論

這里的charge是上訴，控訴的意思。Be involved:被涉及其中，常用詞組，可以是人，也可以是物。這里稍微談一下美國的司法，警察只是負責到抓捕犯人，抓回去后，有個專門機構，針對嫌疑犯的犯罪程度提起控訴，根據刑事案件的大小上交不同的法院。如果Zach被起訴由于他還未滿18歲，會被送到當地的青少年法院進行訴訟。

8. John: "I made yours with seltzer."

Seltzer: =Seltzer water 塞爾查水(一種德國礦泉水)

9. Gabrielle: "Do you have any idea what you've done? That little stunt you pulled yesterday in the courtroom could get Carlos sent away for eight years!"

stunt: 作驚人表演（是指John在法庭上悄悄得對Carlos說的那泛話，使得Carlos在法庭上大發雷霆。）courtroom: 法庭

10. Tom: "It's my job to clean that up now, so it's my call, right?"

it’s my call: 不是“這是我的電話的意思”而是“我說了算”

11. Lynette: "Oh, I have a thousand things to do before that. Borrow a decent scarf from Bree, buy a lipstick I don't hate."

A thousand things to do :用了個夸張的手法，老外說話經常會有些夸張的數字來做形容。就象“A thousand thanks”

12. Tom: "You are experienced. You are brilliant. You are going to nail this job interview, okay?"

nail: 原意是將...釘牢的意思，引申的意思就是認為Lynette會輕而易舉的搞定這份工作。
