第二季第1集

1. I don’t wanna be one of those kind of woman , you know, sloughing things off onto co-workers because of a pediatrician appointment or a dance recital. I got really neurotic about putting people out.

這是Lynette的上司NinaLynette應(yīng)征工作時(shí)說(shuō)的話(huà)，道出了職場(chǎng)女性事業(yè)與家庭難以平衡的窘境。slough off有刪除、戒除之意，這里可以理解為把事情丟給……co-這個(gè)前綴指的是共同……比如奧運(yùn)會(huì)的協(xié)辦城市可以叫co-city，這里就是同事的意思。pediatrician appointment指與兒科醫(yī)生之約，dance recital是舞蹈演出。

2. Anyway, I’m afraid that my visit has an ulterior motive.

好像是Bree登門(mén)拜訪(fǎng)Applewhite一家說(shuō)的話(huà)?！督^望主婦》里的人物多次用到“ulterior motive”，指不為人知的隱秘動(dòng)機(jī)。

3. Bree, we widows have to stick together.

stick together, 團(tuán)結(jié)一心。Betty對(duì)Bree說(shuō)這么一句話(huà)，是一個(gè)很友好的gesture.

4. Just because I choose to express myself doesn’t mean that I condone adultery.

Gabby懷了不知道父親是誰(shuí)的孩子，Carlos要求Gabby出具親子鑒定。Gabby無(wú)奈只好去醫(yī)院，看到一個(gè)頭發(fā)染得五顏六色的護(hù)士，Gabby央求對(duì)方給她一個(gè)親子鑒定的樣張，沒(méi)想到對(duì)方說(shuō)出這么一句話(huà)。condone adultery, 寬恕通奸。這句臺(tái)詞真的很好笑!
