【重點(diǎn)講解】

1. Mary Alice Voiceover: Every family has a way of hiding what it doesn't want seen...Whether it's with a picture that covers a stain on the wall....or with a closet door that conceals the chaos inside......or with artificial smiles that mask years of pain and heartache.Every family goes to great lengths to hide ugly truths.Some,of course,go further than others.

這句話，沒(méi)什么難懂的地方，但我挑了出來(lái)是因?yàn)椋矣X(jué)得描述的很好，可以嘗試著背一下，為以后的寫作提供好的開(kāi)頭。

2. Lynette: Well,you've been working so hard,off on business trips all the time.Tonight,we throw caution and cholesterol to the wind.You deserve a little comfort food.

cholesterol：膽固醇美國(guó)是個(gè)美食大國(guó)，高熱量，高卡路里，高膽固醇的食物充斥著他們的飲食文化，TOM估計(jì)也是體重有點(diǎn)超標(biāo)的人吧，所以LYNETTE才會(huì)控制TOM的飲食，平時(shí)不大給他吃那種含有高膽固醇的東西。

3. Tom: Honey,you just served me a plate of full-fat gouda.What's up?

Gouda:一種荷蘭干酪 Full-fat:全脂

4．Tom: Oh, oh, but Ed couldn't possibly lose you.No, no, no, I'm the expendable one.

expendable: 消耗品，可犧牲的

5. Danielle: Since you two are having your boyfriends over, can I invite Matthew?
Bree: Out of the question.

Out of the question: 不可能

Out of question: 毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，只差一個(gè)詞哦，但意思截然不同，如果怕搞錯(cuò)就記住其中一個(gè)啦，另一個(gè)就是前者相反的意思。

6. Gabrielle: Well,what kind of husband do you want?Do you want a rich husband?Well,then,rich men don't marry virgins for the same reasons they don't hire chauffeurs who can't drive--they value experience.

記得這一集播出后，GABY的這段話得到過(guò)很激烈的討論，其實(shí)在現(xiàn)代的美國(guó)社會(huì)性不再是那么隨便的事，更沒(méi)有象SEX AND THE CITY中描述的那樣奢侈糜爛的夜生活。西方社會(huì)已經(jīng)對(duì)性自由帶來(lái)的后果顧慮重重，逐步提倡保守主義。

7. Susan: Really? It seems like forever. Let me top you off.

Let me top you off: 讓我?guī)湍慵訚M的意思，很簡(jiǎn)單的一個(gè)詞組，但我相信不是所有人都知道是這么用的吧。

8. 結(jié)束語(yǔ)：Mary Alice Voiceover:When the truth is ugly,people try to keep it hidden,because they know if revealed,the damage it will do.So they conceal it within sturdy walls...or they place it behind closed doors...or they obscure it with clever disguises...but truth,no matter how ugly,always emerges.....and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt......and someone else will revel in their pain,and that's the ugliest truth of all.
