玉玲姐
01:44I lived next door to a nice married couple. They seemed very much in love.
第二集一开篇就是见证了这三个家庭故事结尾的邻居独白。这里的知识点非常简单，因为我忽然发现自己不太懂怎么去表达隔壁住着什么人，所以就记一下。
02:58They were young and seemed to have so much to live for.
have so much to live for：有很多值得期待的
在邻居的青年时期，见证了第二对夫妻入住大宅，继续感叹他们的爱情似乎大有可期。这个表述可以用于鼓励，祝福等场合。
05:29I'm afraid I don't have much to occupy my days, being a lonely widow in a new town.
occupy my days：相当于“spend my days”，用来表达平时日子是怎么度过的。
05:36- Sheila, you never told me that your husband died. I'm so sorry.
- Don't be. It happens.
当有人说“It happens”，可以理解他们在表达“生活就是这样了”，可以用来安慰别人（但一般不用在严重的场合），或者当糟糕的事发生在他们自己身上时表示无奈。
07:11Lots of women just forget to put in that kind of an effort.
put it an effort：相当于make the effort
07:15They always wear the same dowdy clothes.
dowdy['daʊdɪ]：（形容人的外观或服装）过时的，古板的
07:24- Can I get you anything else?
- No. You've already given me more than enough to chew on.
chew on：字面意思是“细细咀嚼”，也表示“考虑”和“细细品味，细想”的意思。
Beth假装自己是一个寡妇，和丈夫的出轨对象April无意中成了表面的好友。April毫无保留地说出她对家庭主妇的印象来说明男人会出轨的原因。因为April同时也是餐厅的服务员，她问Beth还需不需要点餐，Beth意味深长地说了这句双关语：“你所给的足够我去细细品味了。”
08:13- The doctors say you can go home this afternoon.
- Well, that's your call, not theirs.
one's call：某人的决定
例：
- When should we set off?
我们什么时候动身？
- It's your call. Not mine.
由你来决定，而不是我。
Simone和Karl说，医生认为他身体康复得差不多，可以回家了。Karl带点央求和试探的语气表示，能不能回家，不仅要看身体状况，更取决于Simone愿不愿意让他回家。
08:33- God forbid our friends should ever pity you.
- Our friends don't feel pity, only schadenfreude.
schadenfreude /ˈʃaːdənfrɔydə/：名词。源自德语，指“幸灾乐祸”
Simone认为他们身边的朋友只会看他们笑话，并不会有同情心。
08:52And why upstage her?
upstage：此处是动词。指“抢风头，抢镜头”
09:10- You don't need to wait on me.
- No, no, no. No. You are our guest.
wait on：伺候，招待
Taylor和Eli两夫妻明显都喜欢着新来的Jade，时常围绕她身边，于是Jade不好意思地表示“你们不用一直在我身边等着的”。
09:19So, what's his deal?
what's one's deal：源自“what's the deal”，即询问“怎么回事”。剧里Eli是问Jade她前男友是什么情况，为什么一直缠着她。
09:40Well, we don't usually share stories about our playmates.
playmate：原本只是单纯的“玩伴”意思，但是原意是小孩子的玩伴。大人的“玩伴”，就没那么单纯了~~~所以这里和上一集出现的“hookup”意思一样。
09:47I was selling lingerie at Agent Provocateur.
lingerie(英lænʒəri，美 -reɪ)：女性贴身内衣和睡衣
Agent Provocateur (prə,vɔkə'tə:r)：卧底，密探。这里是一家内衣店名字，翻译过来就是“大内密探”了。这个名字起得很好，我笑了很久。
09:58So, I was in the fitting room taking my top off when the zipper gets caught in my hair.
top：这里是指“上衣”
10:15- Yeah, I'm just trying to picture it.
- Don't. It's pervy.
pervy：形容词。"perverted"的口语形式，指“性变态”。
Eli在想象Taylor和她的情人第一次见面的场景，Taylor说不要这样，因为这“太变态了”。
11:13I'm not really in the mood for cookies.
be in the mood for：有心情做某事。类似“feel like doing sth”
13:01I've had a hell of day. I'm gonna go fix myself a drink.
a hell of day：糟糕的一天。
fix：常见的意思是“修理；固定”。这里的意思是“准备饮料（或食物）”
13:18My best engineer quit today, my secretary called in sick, and on top of all that, I took my boss's briefcase home by mistake.
on top of that：除了这个，更重要的是……
Rob在说他这一天有多不顺利，但最糟糕的是他不小心把老板的公文包带回家了。
14:22It has been years since I bought a new dress. And I got my nails done, and I got a new hairdo.
hairdo：发型
16:46My mom asked me to bring you these get-well muffins.
get-well：形容词。后面常接“card”或“letter”等词，组成“慰问卡”的意思。
17:14Tommy, that kiss we shared was sweet, but it was not a down payment.
down payment：预付金。这里是比喻的意思，Simone表示上次的接吻并不是同意和Tommy交往下去的信号。
19:45- You're not curious?
- Not in the slightest.
Not in the slightest：一点也没有，和“not in the least”同义
Karl想和Simone说他的情史，但Simone一点都不想听。
19:52But we need to talk about this if we're to have any sort of rapprochement.
rapprochement：名词。和好，关系解冻
22:05Maybe she'll ply me with liquor and get me to spill all my lurid secrets.
ply sb with (food or drink)：不停提供某人（食物或饮料）
lurid（ljʊərɪd）：骇人听闻的（涉及暴力、色情或者让人震惊的内容）
22:32Oh, your friends were so catty.
catty：刻薄的
22:45Oh, I imagine those women would relish the poetic justice if you wound up in the same boat.
relish：动词。品味，喜欢
poetic justice：名词。报应
wind up in the same boat：栽在同一件事上
23:20You thought if you left Jade and I alone to get comfortable, we'd get a little loose, a little frisky, and then you could just slide right in and the three of us would fuck the night away.
frisky：欢腾的。形容人或动物
v. the night away：既然“fuck the night away”是整夜大干一场的意思，以此类推，替换成其他动词，就是整夜都在做某件事了
Taylor看出了Eli的心思。
23:31Solid plan.
这句话一般是夸某人的计划很好，但是这里的语境是带讽刺的。
23:54The other day, she was going on and on about how much she liked my movie.
go on about：不停地说某件事，唠叨某事
25:18Here's my two cents, all right? Spend them wisely.
two cents：当别人没有征求的时候提出的意见
邻居Sheila在给Beth出主意赢回出轨丈夫的心，“Spend them wisely”这句话自然不是字面意思了，而是说：“仔细听好了。”
26:13There was a time that Leo and I felt our love life needed a little zing.
zing：活力
Sheila在说，过去有一段时间她和丈夫的性生活缺乏了一点活力和刺激。
26:54Sex is how women gain power over men.
gain power over sb：征服某人，驾驭某人
27:05Jumping jacks!
是一种运动，开合跳。
27:34Wanda left the most cryptic message on my answering machine. Before she left for rehab. She intimated that you and Karl were having some sort of marital problems.
cryptic['krɪptɪk]：含义模糊的，隐晦的
rehab：名词。吸毒者或酗酒者的康复中心
intimate：常见的是形容词用法“亲密的”。剧中是动词用法，指“暗示”
marital ['mærɪt(ə)l]：婚姻的，夫妻间的
Wanda就是那个讨厌Simone并向她曝出Karl秘密的人。这里是Naomi和Simone讨论Karl的内容。
27:55I've known for some time about Karl's indiscretions.
indiscretion：言行不检点，不慎重
28:09I was picking up my dry cleaning one day, and there was his car, parked across the street at some seedy motel.
seedy：肮脏的，邋遢破烂的。形容人或地方
28:32I wanted to catch him in the act, but I couldn't just stand there all day, waiting for him and his floozy to come out.
catch sb in the act：当场逮住某人，抓某人现行
floozy(fluːzi)：荡妇。和第一集的tramp是同义词
Naomi应该是在八卦Simone在发生什么事，所以就编了Karl去约会女人的故事，想套出Simone的话。
30:03- Another business dinner. You've had a lot of those lately.
- Sorry, honey. Duty calls.
Duty calls：职责所在，任务在身，使命在召唤（让我想起了某一套广播体操）
30:14Oh, before we get in there, got any Jade tips for me? You know, dos and don'ts?
dos and don'ts：这里的“do”和“don't”相当于是名词，指“能做的和不能做的”
Jade答应和Taylor还有Eli三人行了。在兴奋地准备迎战前，Eli特地问Taylor关于Jade的癖好和禁忌。
32:29I must have done something really good in a past life.
past life：前世
Eli躺在床上左拥右抱，自叹自己上自己一定是做了什么好事才能这么如愿以偿。当我们感叹谁谁谁和谁谁谁竟然在一起了，那TA上辈子一定是拯救银河系了，也可以这么用：
Did she accept his proposal? Oh my... He must have saved the galaxy in his past life.
32:54I'm open to suggestion.
be open to：愿意接受；对……持开放态度
35:59- It's sandalwood.
- All I can smell is pastrami.
- Oh, yeah. We catered a bris yesterday.
sandalwood(sændəlwʊd)：檀香；檀香木
pastrami (pæstrɑːmi)：熏牛肉
37:02I was cut to shreds moments after my wife turned into a French whore.
shred [ʃred]：碎片
Beth听了邻居的建议，和Rob来了一场浴室大冒险，结果把玻璃门撞碎了。这里是Rob对她的抱怨。
37:07- There's no need to be rude.
- Well, I'll be more pleasant once I've stopped bleeding profusely.
profusely：profuse的副词形式。profuse是形容词，指“大量流出（形容人出汗，流血或呕吐）”
37:17- I got the idea from a sex manual. It said men like that sort of thing.
- Well, men on shore leave, perhaps. Not me.
on shore leave：“on leave”是休假中的意思，而“shore leave”是特指船员水手的登岸休假许可。
Rob讽刺Beth，说只有饥渴的水手才会喜欢那么狂野的性爱大冒险。
37:31I feel you pulling away from me.
pull away from：从……脱离。这里引申为疏远。
Beth向Rob说出心理感受，因为她觉得Rob一直在疏远她。
37:52Every day. You get up, you go to work, you come home, you eat dinner, you put on a smile for my benefit, and then you go to sleep.
for one's benefit：为了某人
38:29You're drowning in the routine of your existence.
existence：这里的意思不是“存在”，而是日常生活，或者是不好的生活方式
Beth继续倾诉。过去的日子她一直陪在Rob身边，看着他每天被这样的生活方式淹没着。
39:45I mean, I knew sex was cool, because I'm not a virgin, but my limited experience with the girls on the drill team did not prepare me for that.
drill team：啦啦队，仪仗队
41:04I got to hand it to you, babe. That was some kind of fun.
hand it to sb：佩服某人，甘拜下风
为什么字面意思是“递给某人”，实际意思是称赞呢？可以理解为意思是把第一名的位置心甘情愿地让给他人，因为他们某方面很出色。
43:16- Are we good?
- Yeah, we're good.
Are we good?：我们之间没事了吧？；我们和好了吧？
相同的问法还有“Are we cool?”，也是发生矛盾，经过道歉解释之后，其中一方为了修复关系的询问。
43:50You committed adultery, Karl. That means you're no longer entitled to keep tabs on my life.
entitle：给某人权利或资格做某事
keep tabs on：监督，密切注意
44:05Yes. Have you embarked on a new exercise regimen?
embark on：开始（做）某事

我们长辈最爱了解的就是regimen了。不过现在也越来越多年轻人需要了解了，比如我。
