本劇主要講述住在紐約長島的西佛一家的日常生活故事,是中國大陸較早引進的國外情景喜劇,在中國從1990年一直播出至1994年。1990年代初期一經(jīng)播出就引發(fā)了收視高潮,片中邁克開朗調(diào)皮的形象為廣大觀眾所喜愛。而劇中西佛醫(yī)生對子女采取啟發(fā)式教育的方式,也讓觀眾得到啟示。
Mike: ...without letting the entire free world, in on it.
邁克:就是不想讓外人來干擾這一切。
Jason: Well, I guess I did lose control a little? Ok, a lot.
詹森:我想也許我是稍微過分了一點,那就算很多了。
Mike: That's all right, Dad. I guess Bruce does have that affect on people. I guess maybe next time we should see someone a little less dynamic.
邁克:別再說了爸爸,搖滾樂能給人一定的影響,也許我們下一次就應(yīng)該聽一點不再向這么激烈的音樂。
Jason: Well I hear the Osmond’s are coming to town.
詹森:我聽說“奧斯姆”要來這演出了。
Mike: Yeah, I love this guy.
邁克:我愛這個人。
Mike: Guys I’m telling you it does not compare with seeing him live.
邁克:我告訴你們,聽和看見這是兩碼事。
Jason: Mike, Mike, your mother and I are in the next room we’re trying to read. You guys think you could turn down that... Turn down, whoever that is?
詹森:邁克,邁克,你媽媽和我正在隔壁房間里看書,能不能把那玩意關(guān)的小一點?聲音小了才像是音樂。
