重点讲解1

【重点讲解】

1．Lynette:Oh,it doesn't.I'm just stalling because I am completely mortified.

Mortify: 使感到羞辱；使蒙受屈辱

2. Karl:Pardon me,sir,I'm your daughter's lawyer.Just so you know,we've been waiting for this hearing for weeks.
Henry:Son,I've been an attorney for 45 years.You and I both know how these cases can turn into public spectacles.Our family is perfectly capable of handling this- ...in house.

BREE的父亲HENRY提议推迟上庭时间，因为他想庭外和解，毕竟这是家事，没有必要公布于众。在美国，家长和子女间的官司一直被媒体所关注，一旦成立，就会大肆宣传并做为一个案例，北美的法律不象我们中国有什么宪法和条约，他们都是以过去的案例做为参考，过去如有相同案例，它是怎么判的，现在发生的就应该在过去的基础上做以比较。所有in house就是“在家中解决掉”

3. State Attorney:Spring break,actually.Mr. Helm is a high school student.

Spring break: 春假，每个学年结束后，北美的学校就会有段春假，和我们的寒假差不多，但没有我们的长，一周到两周的时间。

4. Parker:Tommy Keenan told me babies come from down there.It doesn't sound right to me.

小PARKER当他听到KEENAN说孩子是从那里出生的，他觉得好奇想知道原因，他不理解时他是说“It doesn't sound right to me.”是不是很口语化？比I DON’T UNDERSTAND更好听呢？在日常生活中，老美同样一句话可以用很多种形式表达，这就是我们学要积累的地方。

5. Gabrielle:And that's what put her in an early grave! Well,that and the hit-and-run thing.

这句话中，可以看到“去世过早”怎么来说“in an early grave”

6. Bree:Do you really think that I am enjoying airing my dirty laundry in public?This whole situation is mortifying.But I can't back down because he is my son,and I need more time to get through to him.

Air one's dirty laundry in public:可以理解为家臭外扬

7. McCluskey:Fine. Penny fussed a bit.I think her molars are coming in.

molar: 齿牙，小孩子长牙齿的阶段，总是会流口水和磨牙

8. Lynette:Oh... that was me.He was asking about the birds and the bees, and I fudged a few of the details.

the birds and bees:性教育。

9. 结束语：Mary Alice Voiceover:We've all done something in our lives we're ashamed of.Some of us have fallen for the wrong man.Some have let go of the right woman.There are those who have humiliated their parents....and those who have failed their children.Yes, we've all But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes...and grow.
