精讲笔记

Danielle: Why can't we have a normal soup?
Bree: Danielle, there is nothing abnormal about basil puree.
Danielle: Just once, can we have a soup that people all heard of, like French onion, or navy bean.
Bree: First of all, your father can't eat onions. He's deathly allergic. And I won't even dignify your
navy bean suggestion. So, how's theosso buco?
Andrew: It's okay.
Bree: It's okay? Andrew, I spent three hours cooking this meal. How do you think it makes me feel
when you say it's okay in that sullen tone?
Andrew: Who asked you to spend three hours on dinner?
Bree: Excuse me?
Andrew: Tim Harper's mom gets home from work, pops open a can of pork and beans, and boom,
they're eating. Everyone's happy.
Bree: You'd rather I serve pork and beans?
Danielle: Apologize now, I am begging you.
Andrew: I'm saying, do you always have to serve cuisine? Can't we ever just have food?
Bree: Are you doing drugs?
Andrew: What?
Bree: Change in behavior is one of the warning signs and you have been as fresh as paint for the
last six months. That would explain why you're always locked in the bathroom.
Danielle: Trust me, that is not what he is doing.
Andrew: Shut up. Mom, I'm not the one have a problem here, right? You're the one who is acting
like she's running for mayor of Stepford.
Bree:
Rex.
Seeing
that
you're
the
head
of
this
household,
I
would
really
appreciate
you
saying
something.
Rex: Pass the salt.
Mary
Alice
Young:
Three
days
after
my
funeral,
Lynette
replaced
her
grief
with
a
much
more
useful emotion. Indignation.
Lynette: Tom, this is
my fifth message and you still haven't called
me back. Well, you must be
having a lot of fun on your business trip. I can only imagine. Well, guess what, the kids and I want
to have some fun, too, so unless you call me back by noon, we are getting on a plane and joining
you.
Boy: Mum.
Lynette: Not now, honey, Mommy's threatening Daddy. No. Where are you brothers?
Natalie Kline: Lynette Scavo!
Lynette: Crap! Hi, don't believe it!
Natalie Kline: Lynette! How long has it been?
Lynette: Years! How are you? How's the firm?
Natalie Kline: Good. Everyone misses you. We all say that if you hadn't quit, you'd be running the
placeby now. So, how's domestic life? Don't you just love being a mom?
Mary Alice Young: And there it was. The question that Lynette always dreaded.
Lynette: Well, to be honest...
Mary Alice Young: For those who asked it, only one answer was acceptable. So Lynette responded

as she always did. She lied.
Lynette: It's the best job I've ever had.

buco:
An
Italian
dish
made
of
veal
shanks
braised
with
olive
oil,
white
wine,
stock,
onions,
tomatoes,
garlic,
anchovies,
carrots,
celery
and
lemon
peel.
Traditionally,

garnished with gremolata and served accompanied by risotto. In Italian, osso buco means
bone.
翻译成中文就是
“

”
、< br>“
焖小牛腿肉
”
，是带骨头的。一般意大利餐馆都有。

2.
doing drugs
Do
这个词简直可以说是英语中的万能词了，和不同的词搭 配、在不同的语境下有不同的意
思。对白中的
doing drugs
就是
“
吸毒
”
的意思，再比如：

A rest will do you good.
休息一下对你有好处的。

Kate Blanchett did Elizabeth I in the film Elizabeth I.
凯特
·
布兰切特在电影《伊丽莎白一世》中扮演伊丽莎白一世。

Who did the flowers?
谁插的花？

3.
as fresh as paint
生气勃勃的，精神饱满的

通常吸毒的 人在吸食毒品后都会表现的很有精气神，
这是毒品作用力的结果。
而吸毒的人如
果突然 中止吸毒或是减少吸毒量，
就会发生严重的戒断反应及各种并发症，
常常会引起死亡，
甚至会因痛苦难忍而自杀身亡。
我们来看个例子：
That boy looks as fresh as paint.
那个男孩看
起来很有活力。

4.
run for, run the place
Run for
的意思是
“
竞选
”
，
相当于
campaign for; run the place
的意思则是
“
主管，
经营，
掌管
”
，< br>相当于
manage;
例如：

John Cliff is running for the mayor of our town.
约翰
·
克利夫正在竞选我们镇的镇长。

David wants to kick Bob out and runs the company by himself.
大卫想把鲍勃踢走，自己掌管公司。

5.
the head of this household
“
一家之主
”
，和我们汉语中的说法很相似吧？

6.
crap
Shit
的稍微好一点的称呼。在口语中，
crap
可以 用来表示
“
不好的东西，没意思，无聊，不
值得的事情
”
，
也可以用来表示惊讶或是愤怒。
而
bullshit
则多用在有人对你撒谎、
你表示生
气的场合，或是很荒谬、可笑的场合。

在这个片段中，
当
Lynette
看到以前公司的同事，
更加刺激了她那绝望无助的家庭主妇身份，
因此 说了一句
Crap!
7.
domestic life
注意这里可不是
“
国内生活
”
，而是
“
家庭生活
”
。

Mike: Just the two of us?
Susan: Well, and Julie. Uh, it's a thing we do when somebody new moves into the neighborhood,
we invite them over for a home-cooked meal. It's sort of a tradition.
Mike: I thought you said you were a lousy cook.
Susan: Well, Iorder take- out.
Mike: Oh. You invite them over for home- cooking and you give 'em takeout.

Mary
Alice
Young:
When
I
was
alive,
I
maintained
many
different
identities:
lover,
wife,
and
ultimately, victim. Yes, labels are important to the living. They dictate how people see themselves.
Like my friend, Lynette. She used to see herself as a career woman. And a hugely successful one
at
that.
She
was
known
for
her
power
lunches...
her
eye-catching
presentations...
and
her
ruthlessness
inwiping
outthe
competition.
Lynette
gave
up
her
career
to
assume
a
new
label:
incredibly satisfying role of full- time mother.
Lynette: Scavo residence. Yes, this is me.
Mary Alice Young: But, unfortunately for Lynette, this new label frequentlyfell short ofwhat was
advertised.
Lynette: How in the world did they...
Ms. Butters: I left the door to the art supply cupboard open for five minutes. That's all.
Lynette: Five minutes. The little girl. Why didn't she say anything?
Ms. Butters: Your boys work quickly.
Lynette: Well, obviously, they will be punished for this. Severely.

Ms. Butters: I hesitate bringing this up sinceyou got so ugly about itlast time.
Lynette:
They
don't
have
attention
deficit
disorder.
And
I'm
not
going
to
drug
my
boys
just
to
make your job easier. I'd rather change teachers.
Ms. Butters: The boys are in my class because I'm the only teacher who can handle them.
Lynette: What if we separate the twins? Put them in different classes. They're much calmer when
they're not bouncing off one another.
Ms. Butters: We can try that. But if it doesn't work, we may not longer be able to accommodate
them.
Mary Alice Young: It suddenly occurred to Lynette her label was about to change yet again. And
for
the
next
few
years,
she
would
be
known
as
the
mother
of
the
boys
who
painted
Tiffany
Axelrod blue.
Mary
Alice
Young:
It
looked
to
be
an
interesting
afternoon
on
Wisteria
Lane.
A
mysterious
cassette
tape
had
been
discovered
by
my
friend,
Bree.
She
had
stolen
it
from
her
marriage
counselor. A counselor I'd once spoken to in strictest confidence.
Dr. Goldfine: So, how have you been?
Mary Alice Young: I had the nightmare again.
Gabrielle: It's so weird to hear Mary Alice.
Dr. Goldfine: Still the same one.
Mary Alice: Yes. But this time, I was standing in a river, and I saw the girl under the water. She
kept screaming Angela over and over again.
Dr. Goldfine: So what do you think the significance of the name Angela is?
Mary Alice: Actually, that's my real name.
Gabrielle: Her real name? That doesn't make any sense. I've seen her driver's license. It did not say
Angela.
Susan: Bree, what does it say on the rest of the tape?
Bree: Just more about her nightmares and this girl she was afraid of.
Gabrielle: So what the hell do we do now?
Susan: I think we should show Paul the note.
Lynette: Are you sure? He's gonna freak.
Bree: Well, it's now or never. I mean, I saw what he's asking for the place. It's gonna sell quickly.
Gabrielle: Can I say something? I'm glad Paul's moving.
Bree: Gabby!
Gabrielle: I'm sorry. He's just alwaysgiving me the creeps. Haven't you guys noticed? He's got this
dark thing going on. There's something about him that just feels...
Lynette: Malignant?
Gabrielle: Yes.
Susan: We've all sort of felt it.
Bree: That being said, I do love what he's done with that lawn.

Lynette: Mm. Gophers.
Susan: Wow.
Lynette: Listen, I'm sorry about Mike. I know how much you like him.
Susan: Ah, maybe it's my fault. Maybe I just imagined an entire relationship with this man that
didn't exist.
Lynette: There has been flirting. I have seen it.
Susan:
Yeah,
and
the
flirting
made
me
think
that
he
was
kind
and
trustworthy
and
honest
and
hygienic.
That's
how
it
is
with
me
-
a
guy
just
smiles
at
me
three
times,
and
I'm
picking
out
wedding china. I'm a mess.
Lynette: But to be fair, that's part of your charm.
Susan: That's what happened with Karl. I only dated him a couple of months, I filled in the blanks,
I married him. It was a disaster.
Lynette: You think Mike isa Karl in disguise?
Susan: I don't know. What does that mean, anyway, 'my life is complicated'?
Man: If I wanted to sit around and wait for nothing, I could do it on the can. You're late. What's

Man: Did you ever hear of gloves?
Mike: It's the suburbs. I didn't think it'd matter. Anyway, the police are running a check, and I'm in
the system. I got to pull up stakes before they come looking for me.
Man:
That's
a
sweet
sound

laughter
like
that,
huh?
Pisses
me
off.
If
and
when
your
cover
is
blown, you disappear. Until then, you keep fixing the neighbors' pipes.

yard sale. The shoppers come to sift through the discarded belongings of someone they don't really
know, in the hopes of finding bargains they don't really need, each so determined to save a few
pennies, they often miss hidden treasures.
Susan: Hey, Paul.
Paul: Hi, Susan.
Susan: I got to say, I was a little surprised to see Mary Alice's award for sale. She got it for doing
charity work, from the Chamber of Commerce.
Paul:
Zach
and
I
are
moving.
We
don't
need
to
carry
any
more
with
us
than
is
absolutely
necessary.
Susan:
That
makes
sense.
Still,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
didn't
want
to
keep
it,
for
Zach,
something to remember his mother by.
Paul: Zach doesn't need a piece of glass to remember his mother. I'm out of newspaper. Here, let's
call it ten bucks for everything.
Susan: Great. Speaking of Zach, I haven't seen him around lately.
Paul: He's been a bit depressed. I thought he could use a change of scenery, so I sent him to stay
with relatives.
Susan: Oh, which ones?
Paul: You don't know them.
Susan: So, how'd you get the fat lip?
Paul: The usual way. Asking too many questions.
Gabrielle: Find out where Zach is?
Susan: No, but I can tell you this much. He's not staying with relatives.
Carlos: It's driving me crazy, mama. It could be any one of these guys she's having the affair with.
Mama Solis: No worry about it. I'm not letting her out of my sight.
Carlos: Now, who the hell is that? And look at the way she's touching him. You think that's the guy
she's having the affair with?
Mama Solis: Carlos, don't be stupid. A guy she talks to in public isn't someone you're gonna worry
about.
Carlos: So it's someone that she doesn't talk to. What do I have to do? Beat up every guy in town?
Mama Solis: Marriage takes work!

Bree: It just doesn't make any sense. Zach is such a sweet kid. I can't imagine him doing anything
that terrible.
Gabrielle: Well, he did break into your house. I mean, the kid is obviously troubled in some way.
