絕望主婦學(xué)英語(yǔ)第1季第3集"漂亮小照"
11. Says the prince as he rides off into the sunset. Boy did the movies ever get that wrong.
——王子說(shuō)著便疾馳遠(yuǎn)去,消失在夕陽(yáng)中。男人們從來(lái)沒忘記在故事結(jié)尾加這段。意思是說(shuō),男人們總是要離開心愛的女人,一頭不回的走掉。
——關(guān)于這個(gè)句式,我也有點(diǎn)糊涂,如果誰(shuí)有異議,請(qǐng)給我留言。正常語(yǔ)序是這樣的,The prince says as he rides off into the sunset. 王子說(shuō)他要遠(yuǎn)去,說(shuō)著便消失在夕陽(yáng)里。
12.
- My backhand’s improving immensely, but you’re still having problems with your serve.
- of course.
——為了掩蓋丈夫因婚姻咨詢而不去上班的事情,Bree編出他們?nèi)ゴ蚓W(wǎng)球的借口。她進(jìn)一步杜撰細(xì)節(jié)時(shí)說(shuō),我的反手球進(jìn)步很大,你連發(fā)球還有問(wèn)題。Immensely是極大的意思。backhand反手球serve發(fā)球
——而丈夫回答當(dāng)然了,意思就很豐富了,比如你都會(huì)這么高難度的謊話技巧了,而我還連基礎(chǔ)的怎么對(duì)付你都不會(huì)。
13.We are being as nice as we possibly can to one another. 我們已經(jīng)盡力做到最友善的對(duì)待彼此了。這句很諷刺,因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)诔臣堋?br>
14.
ZACH: Maybe when you die, I won’t put in an obituary.
PAUL: That will be your choice to make, assuming you outlive me.
——-也許你死后,我不會(huì)在報(bào)紙上登出你的訃告(只有死者的親人才會(huì)為死者刊登訃告,以示哀思)-那是你的選擇,如果我們先假設(shè)你能比我活得長(zhǎng)的話。
——assuming that 假設(shè)常用的動(dòng)名詞引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ),類似的還有considering that 考慮
15.I’ve lived with this bitterness so long, I think I’d be lonely without it.
——雖然不正常,但是與苦相伴的確是一種解決寂寞的方法,她不原諒他,憤怒占據(jù)了寂寞的空間,而表達(dá)類似心態(tài)的還有,X戰(zhàn)警中的一句話,anger makes me survive 仇恨支持我生存下去,仇恨是生存的唯一目的。
16.
TOM: It’s a business meeting!
LYNETTE: It’s a frag party.
TOM: Regional manager, corporate manager, head of sales.
LYNETTE: Margarita, cigar, sombrero.
——frag party 就是一種平時(shí)得不到女性青睞的男生舉辦的一類聚會(huì),旨在把催眠藥物加到酒水中讓女生喝下,從而對(duì)其進(jìn)行性行為。這種聚會(huì)的三要素,正如同L說(shuō)的,酒(瑪格麗特margatira)煙(雪茄cigar) 不討女生歡心的人(sombrero 墨西哥帽,滑稽的代名詞)
——T指出照片中的三個(gè)人是地區(qū)主管合作總監(jiān)銷售主管,而他們恰好一個(gè)在喝酒,一個(gè)在抽煙,一個(gè)帶著滑稽的墨西哥帽。于是L的回答就顯得對(duì)仗的很工整了。
17. a hi-five on the lips
——真是太有想象力了。hi-five是伸出五指擊掌的手勢(shì),以表慶祝,而這種動(dòng)作和kiss on the lips很類似。
18.
GABRIELLE: Here you go. Top of the line, free speed, aluminium frame, handlebar ribbons, and a bell. And you’ll notice it’s royal blue to match your pretty little eyes.
ASHLEY: My eyes are green.
GABRIELLE: Yeah, well, you’ll be cruising so fast on this, no one will even notice.

19. After her talk with Lynette, Susan decided to take a look at her old photo album. And she began to see herself in a whole new light. And the picture wasn’t flattering. Susan was proud of herself. She was finally ready to let go of her anger. Well, almost.
——flatter 奉承,這里是說(shuō),照片也沒有讓生活顯得更好,盡管一般情況下照片上的情景都只有開心,能夠掩蓋生活的不如意。
20.
SUSAN: I’m not really ready for this, I was gonna have a whole speech prepared.
KARL: I suggest you wing it.
——have a whole speech prepared長(zhǎng)篇大論到 wing it即興發(fā)揮
21.The heart wants what it wants. 隨心所欲
22.
MIKE: Alright, I um, assume the dress is, uh, casual.
SUSAN: Yeah, it’s… it’s casual.
——M在說(shuō)穿著的時(shí)候,之所以停頓那么多,是考慮到當(dāng)時(shí)的情況,實(shí)在不適合討論這個(gè),因?yàn)镾 裸體躺在灌木叢里。于是說(shuō)casual 就顯得在影射現(xiàn)在的她一樣。
