　　妙语佳句，活学活用

　　1. Big deal

　　Big deal

　　的本意是指“重要的人或事”，例如：She is a Big deal in localpolitics.她在当地政界是个大人物。但是在这里，Susan说的是反语，意思是“不是什么大不了的事”。例如：So you gotthe jobafter all-well, Big deal!

　　1

　　 影片对白 I realize now that I just can"t carry thataroundanymore, so, apology or no apology, I"m moving on.

　　2. Get out of hand

　　If situation gets out of hand, it can"t be controlled anymore.例如：Things got a little out of hand at the party and threewindowswere broken.（宴会的局面有点失控，三个窗子被打破了。）In my first year at collegemydrinking got a bit out of hand.（我上大一的时候喝酒喝得很多。）

　　3. There

　　这里可不是“那里”的意思，而是“好了”，有点语气词的味道。比如有人哭的时候，你要安慰她就可以说：There,there.Don"t weep any more. 好了，好了，别再哭了。

　　4. golden couple

　　在汉语中，我们常说一对夫妻或是情侣很登对、羡煞旁人，在英语中就是golden couple。

　　5. packing heat

　　意思就是carryingagun。想不到吧！在俚语中，pack有carry的意思，heat有gun的意思。这里Julie以为妈妈要和抢走爸爸的女人大打出手，Susan则告诉女儿“自己没有拿枪（不是要打架的）”。

　　6. built up a lot of anger

　　意思是“生了很久的气”。这种搭配有俚语化的倾向，但不失为地道。例如：Lily built up a lot ofangertowards her boyfriend. 莉莉生她男友的气生了很久。

　　7. Move on

　　这里Susan的意思是：She can"t be angry anymore, so she"s going tomovepast it. 不管Karl和Brandi道不道歉，Susan都不再介意了。例如：I realize that Ican"tcarry the depression of getting divorced any more, I"mmovingon.

　　文化面面观Mr. Toad"s Wild Ride

　　Mr. Toad"s Wild Ride

　　is a dark ride at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim. It isoneof the few remaining attractions that was operational on thepark"sopening day in 1955. The ride"s story is based onDisney"sadaptation of The Wind in the Willows, one of the twosegments ofthe film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. It wasonce anattraction at the Magic Kingdom park in Walt Disney World,butafter a long protest against its closure, Mr. Toad"s journeystonowhere in particular were put to an end in 1998 and the ridewasreplaced the following year with The Many Adventures of WinniethePooh.

　　思想火花

　　俗话说家丑不可外扬。对于自尊心极强、完美至上的Bree来说，丈夫在那么多邻居面前说出他们在进行婚姻咨询，无异于给她的心上划上重重一刀。因此当众位邻居说出自己的糗事以缓解气氛的时候，她恶毒的说出了丈夫的怪癖。从来都不认为自己错了的Bree在丈夫搬出家门的时候也不禁感叹：Incollege,when we first started dating, people were so jealous ofus. We werethe golden couple. Everybody knew we were going to havethiswonderful life. Why is thishappening?其实，Bree也有脆弱的时候，只是，维护她完美形象的信念使她把自己认为不够好的地方都藏起来，只以优雅、完美的姿态示人。

　　鞋子舒不舒服只有脚知道，婚姻幸不幸福只有当事人知道。但是，两个人生活在一起是要过日子的，而不是要演戏给人看的。华丽的外表就那么重要吗？
