本集是lynette大战交警的一集(希望大家都用不上)。
非常实用又地道的表达有:
pull over 靠边停车
wear a seatbelt/buckle up 系安全带
give you a ticket :开罚单
以下是音频原文:
OFFICER: Ma'am, you know why I pulled you over?
LYNETTE: I have a theory.
OFFICER: Your kids are jumping up and down; they should be sitting, wearing a seatbelt.
LYNETTE: I yelled at them. They never listen to me, it's very frustrating.
OFFICER: Well, you're gonna hafta find a way to control them. After all, that's your job.
NARRATOR: Though he's been a policeman for 6 years, Officer Hayes had never found himself in a truly dangerous situation. Then again, he had never before told a woman how to raise her children.
LYNETTE: You saying I'm a bad mother?
OFFICER: Ma'am, you need to get back in your car please.
LYNETTE: I have no help, my husband's always away on business.
OFFICER: I'm gonna hafta ask you to step back now.
LYNETTE: My babysitter joined the witness relocation program. I haven't slept through the night in 6 years.
OFFICER: Ma'am..?
LYNETTE: And for you to stand there, and judge me.
OFFICER: Okay. I'm not gonna give you a ticket. I'm just gonna let you off with a warning.
LYNETTE: I accept your apology.
OFFICER: Buckle up!
JOHN: (smiles) Mrs. Solis!
GABRIELLE: Hello Jonathan.
JOHN: Well, this is my room. Sorry about the mess.
