学英语需要的不仅仅是浓厚的兴趣,还要有desperate的精神。听读保持心静,写说力图传神。我想《绝望主妇》这么经典的剧本,如果没有编剧的静心创作再加上演员的激情表演,是不可能得到众多的称赞和追捧的。Ok, let’s get to the point:老规矩,先放出视频下面我们逐个场景来解析片中的实用短语及句型吧:

场景1:播音员的讲述

Episode(场景)01:剧集开始前播音员的一段讲述:

NARRATOR: My name is Mary Alice Young. When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life.

解析:come across:来到, 偶遇, <>给人印象深刻,不期而遇,交付,这里的意思可以是在报纸上看到,不经意见看到。

这是个很好的写作开头,大家不妨可以借鉴一下。下面是几个例句,希望对大家掌握这个短语有所帮助:

I’m sure you’ll find something useful if you come across here to study English.

如果你到这里来学习英语的话,我肯定你能找到一些有用的东西。

I came across an old school friend in Oxford Street this morning.

今天早上我在牛津大街碰见一位老校友.

Come across to my office this afternoon.

你今天下午到我办公室来一趟.

She came across some old photographs in a drawer.

她在抽屉里偶然发现一些旧照片.

场景2:艾莉丝自杀前的独白

Episode 02:播音员陈述玛丽.艾莉丝自杀前的一段独白:

I made my breakfast for my family. I performed my chores. I completed my projects. I ran my errands. In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day - quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection. That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet to retrieve a revolver that had never been used.

解析:retrieve a revolver:取回一把左轮手枪

retrievev. 取回,恢复,补偿,一般用于重新拿回某样东西,或重新获得某种精神与动力。

I should like to retrieve my umbrella which I left in the car.

我想取回我留在车上忘记带走的雨伞。

The company is fighting to retrieve its market share.

这个公司正在为恢复其市场份额(占有率)而奋斗。

注意这里我用红色标记的几个动词过去式短语搭配,再看看我用绿色标记的一个实用句型,大家不妨用它来做个造句练习。

场景3:邻居的心理描写

Episode03:玛丽.艾莉丝自杀后,邻居Mrs.Huber的一段心理描写

NARRATOR: My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Huber, who had been startled by a strange popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me 6 months before…… If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side.

解析:think of a reason for doing sth(想办法/理由去做某事)

学会之后马上吸收,我也来造个句:I tried so many times to think of a reason for attracting more visitors come to www.kekenet.com, and I think this time in this way would be a good idea to get my thoughts well-performed. So, what do you think?

大家注意到了我用绿色标记的一个句子了吗?非常实用的口语句型,特别是这个短语:“look on the bright side”——无论我们学习英语的目的是什么,无论我们在学习的过程中——忍受何等孤独的痛楚和无味的烦躁,请一定要look on the bright side.

好了,绝望主妇里的经典句型和实用口语可谓是层出不穷,举不胜举。今天就解析三个场景,太多了我写得累,大家看得也累,最后给大家分享一下我收集和整理出来的相关资料:
