Susan拜托Karl多带Julie一天以参加晚宴，但是和Karl吵起来了。 有趣表达： 凑小孩抚养费：scrape up child support 牙套：dental guard 耍小性子：be petulant KARL: A dinner party? SUSAN: It's tomorrow night, so if you could just keep Julie an extra day. KARL: Fine, but that's all. Brandy and I leave Sunday for a week up at the cabin. SUSAN: What cabin? KARL: Brandy wanted someplace where we could get away. (turns to wink at BRANDI) (BRANDI is leaning against the red car, drinking from a can. She waves back, smiling at KARL.) KARL: Escrow just closed yesterday. SUSAN: You can afford a cabin, but you can't scrape up child support? KARL: The cheque is in the mail. SUSAN: (opens the mailbox and looks in) Uh, no, it's not! JULIE: (comes out the front door) I found my dental guard. I'm ready. (JULIE looks at KARL and SUSAN, who both look down awkwardly.) JULIE: Stop fighting. SUSAN: We are being as nice as we possibly can to one another. JULIE: Like I said, stop fighting. (gives SUSAN a kiss as she walks to KARL's car) (BRANDI throws her drink can towards the rubbish bin. She misses, and it rolls to the ground in front of SUSAN.) SUSAN: Excuse me. Brandy. (points at the can) Do you mind? BRANDI: Oh. Okay. KARL: Uh, Susan. You're right there, you can pick it up. SUSAN: I could, but she's the one who threw it. KARL: Come on, don't be petulant. Just pick up the stupid can. (JULIE looks at KARL, seeing what's coming as it's about to escalate.) SUSAN: No. JULIE: I can pick it up. SUSAN: Honey, stay out of this. KARL: Fine. (walks towards SUSAN, about to pick up the can) This is so typical. SUSAN: (kicks the can against KARL's legs) Oh, sorry. Was that petulant too? KARL: You know what? Pick up the damn can yourself. SUSAN: Yeah, well you just go to hell. (picks the can against the car, which rolls down the driveway and stops at MIKE and Bongo's feet.) MIKE: You want me to pick it up? (grins at SUSAN) 卡尔： 晚宴派对？ 苏珊： 明天晚上，所以你能不能多留朱莉一天？ 卡尔： 行，就这一次。布兰迪和我周日要去小木屋待一周。 苏珊： 什么小木屋？ 卡尔： 布兰迪想找个地方躲躲清净。（转头朝布兰迪眨了眨眼） （布兰迪靠在红色轿车上，喝着罐装饮料，笑着朝卡尔挥了挥手。） 卡尔： 托管账户昨天刚结清。 苏珊： 你买得起小木屋，却凑不出抚养费？ 卡尔： 支票已经寄出去了。 苏珊： （打开信箱往里看）呃，才没有！ 朱莉： （从前门出来）我找到我的护齿套了，我准备好了。 （朱莉看着卡尔和苏珊，两人都尴尬地低下头。） 朱莉： 别吵了。 苏珊： 我们已经在尽量对彼此客气了。 朱莉： 我说了，别吵。（亲了苏珊一下，走向卡尔的车） （布兰迪把饮料罐朝垃圾桶扔去，没扔中，罐子滚到苏珊脚边。） 苏珊： 不好意思，布兰迪。（指着罐子）能麻烦你捡一下吗？ 布兰迪： 哦，好。 卡尔： 呃，苏珊，你就在那儿，你捡一下不就完了。 苏珊： 我是能捡，但这是她扔的。 卡尔： 行了，别耍小性子。把这破罐子捡起来。 （朱莉看着卡尔，知道马上就要吵起来了。） 苏珊： 不。 朱莉： 我来捡吧。 苏珊： 宝贝，别掺和。 卡尔： 行。（走向苏珊，准备捡罐子）你总是这样。 苏珊： （一脚把罐子踢到卡尔腿上）哦，抱歉。这也算耍小性子吗？ 卡尔： 你自己捡这该死的罐子去！ 苏珊： 好啊，那你去死吧。（把罐子往车上一砸，罐子顺着车道滚下去，停在迈克和邦戈脚边。） 迈克： 要我帮你捡吗？（朝苏珊咧嘴一笑）

两个家庭丈夫有点想拒绝参加party的对话： 有意思的地道表达： 银质餐具（暗指优雅的生活）：silverware 我快累死了/头快炸了：I'm wiped out./I'm beat. 不在场证明：plausible alibi LYNETTE:There'll be liquor. And hors d'oeuvres. And grown-ups without children. And, and silverware. Remember silverware? TOM: Honey, can you take this in for me? (hands LYNETTE a camera) LYNETTE: (takes the camera from him) Have you heard anything I just said? TOM: Yeah, honey, I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm wiped out. Three cities in 6 days, my head is just pounding. I'm not ready for a dinner party. LYNETTE: I already got a sitter. TOM: Can you cancel her? (LYNETTE makes a shocked sound) Please? Look, let's just stay in tomorrow night. We can get a bottle of wine, and rent a video, and I just wanna hang out with my best gal. That's all. LYNETTE: I was looking so forward to a night out. TOM: I know, sweetie, I'm sorry, but I, I'm beat. I mean, do you remember what it's like to work a 60- hour week? (tosses a pair of socks into the laundry basket LYNTTE is holding and gets up, grabbing his briefcase and walking away.) (LYNETTE just stands there, looking at him as he walks away.) [CUT TO: INT. VAN DE KAMP HOUSE - KITCHEN] REX: A dinner party? Do I have to go? BREE: Well, given that we're hosting it, I say so. By the way, you won't be drinking at this party. REX: Why's that? BREE: Because when you drink, you get chatty. No one needs to know that we're seeing Dr. Goldfine. REX: You know, if you spent half as much time working on our problems as you do covering them? BREE: Not a drop! REX: You know, this-this is ridiculous! This whole thing about us taking tennis lessons. BREE: Well, the nurses at your office may start wondering why you're disappearing three times a week. Tennis lessons are a plausible alibi. (hands REX a lunch bag) REX: So these tennis lessons we're taking. How we doing? BREE: My backhand's improving immensely, but you're still having problems with your serve. REX: Of course. 勒奈特： 会有酒，还有开胃小食，都是不带孩子的大人，还有…… 还有银餐具。你还记得银餐具吗？ 汤姆： 亲爱的，帮我拿一下这个好吗？（把相机递给勒奈特） 勒奈特： （接过相机）你刚才有听我说话吗？ 汤姆： 听了，亲爱的，对不起。我就是…… 累垮了。六天跑了三个城市，头都快炸了。我实在没精力搞什么晚宴派对。 勒奈特： 我已经约好保姆了。 汤姆： 能取消吗？（勒奈特倒吸一口凉气）求你了。你看，我们明天晚上就待在家里吧。开瓶红酒，租部电影，我就想跟我最爱的女人待在一起，仅此而已。 勒奈特： 我本来超期待今晚出去的。 汤姆： 我知道，宝贝，对不起。可我真的累瘫了。你还记得一周工作六十小时是什么感觉吗？（把一双袜子扔进勒奈特手里的洗衣篮，起身拿起公文包走开） （勒奈特就站在原地，看着他离去的背影。） 【切至：范德坎普家 厨房 内景】 雷克斯： 晚宴派对？我必须去吗？ 布里： 既然是我们做东，那当然得去。对了，今晚派对上你不准喝酒。 雷克斯： 为什么？ 布里： 因为你一喝酒就话多。没人需要知道我们在看戈德法因医生。 雷克斯： 你知道吗，你花在掩盖问题上的时间，要是有一半用来解决问题就好了？ 布里： 一滴都不行！ 雷克斯： 你知道吗，这…… 这太荒唐了！还有我们去上网球课这整件事。 布里： 不然你办公室的护士会好奇，你为什么每周消失三次。上网球课是个说得过去的借口。（递给雷克斯一个午餐袋） 雷克斯： 那我们这网球课，上得怎么样了？ 布里： 我的反手进步神速，可你的发球还是不行。 雷克斯： 那是当然。

主妇们决定继续Mary的宴会以纪念她，然后通知各自伴侣参加。伴侣们开始推脱时，出现了有些很有趣的表达～ for example： CARLOS: I'm trying, but I can't guarantee anything. This is business! GABRIELLE: Says the prince as he rides off into the sunset. Boy did the movies ever get that wrong. 依然是中英文都有～enjoy！ ----- 英文台词： SUSAN: I think we should go through with it. BREE: Really? Wouldn't that be in poor taste? SUSAN: No, it's sort of a way to honour Mary Alice. It was so important to her. GABRIELLE: We could all use a fun night. BREE: Well, good, because I have some new flatbread that I've just been dying to show off. SUSAN: Lynette? LYNETTE: I'm in. BREE: I'll make braised lamb shanks. LYNETTE: I'm still in. BREE: So how many will I be cooking for? GABRIELLE: 7. Three couples and Susan. Does that sound right? SUSAN: No, it sounds very, very wrong. GABRIELLE: Awww. (puts a hand on SUSAN's shoulder) BREE: Is there somebody you'd like to invite? (MIKE runs past, stops a distance away from SUSAN as he sees her, all sweaty and panting. SUSAN smiles at him, waving as he smiles back, waving, then keeps running.) SUSAN: I have an idea. (they all smile) [CUT TO: INT. SOLIS HOUSE -- MORNING] CARLOS: A dinner party. Honey, I may be working late. The Dillman proposal's a complete mess. GABRIELLE: No, you promise to be home every night this week. CARLOS: I'm trying, but I can't guarantee anything. This is business! GABRIELLE: Says the prince as he rides off into the sunset. Boy did the movies ever get that wrong. CARLOS: You know what your problem is? You're very tense. Should go to a spa, go shopping. Find a way to relax. (GABRIELLE smiles slyly as he walks out the door. She picks up the phone and dials a number. Our view of GABRIELLE moves to the right, as the left side of the screen opens up to JOHN in class, picking up his phone.) JOHN: Hello? GABRIELLE: Where are you? JOHN: Algebra. GABRIELLE: You free at 4? JOHN: I'm not sure, I got track after school. GABRIELLE: Well, get here as fast as you can. My husband says I need to relax. JOHN: You, uh, want me to keep my gym clothes on, like last time? GABRIELLE: If you would. Please. (They both smile) [CUT TO:INT. SCAVO HOUSE - KITCHEN] (TOM sits at the kitchen table as LYNETTE does the laundry.) TOM: A dinner party? LYNETTE: Yeah, it'll be fun. Bree's cooking, everyone's coming. TOM: You know what? I haven't even had a chance to unpack yet, honey. I just, uh, I just need to chill out for the next few days. LYNETTE: Oh. Tom. ----- 中文翻译： 苏珊：我觉得我们该把晚宴办下去。 布里：真的吗？这会不会不太合适？ 苏珊：不会，这也算是对玛丽・爱丽丝的一种纪念，这对她来说多重要啊。 加布丽埃勒：我们也确实该好好放松一晚了。 布里：那太好了，我正好有款新的薄脆饼，一直想让大家尝尝。 苏珊：勒奈特，你呢？ 勒奈特：我加入。 布里：我准备做红烧羊小腿。 勒奈特：我还是要参加。 布里：那我得按多少人的量准备？ 加布丽埃勒：7 个人吧。三对夫妻，再加上苏珊。这么算对吗？ 苏珊：不对，太不对了。 加布丽埃勒：哎呀。（伸手拍了拍苏珊的肩膀） 布里：你有想邀请的人吗？ （迈克慢跑经过，看到苏珊后在不远处停下，满头大汗、气喘吁吁。苏珊朝他笑着挥手，他也回以微笑和挥手，接着继续往前跑） 苏珊：我有主意了。（四人相视一笑） 【切至：内景。索利斯家 —— 清晨】卡洛斯：晚宴？亲爱的，我那天可能要加班，迪尔曼的提案简直一团糟。 加布丽埃勒：不行，你这周答应了每晚都回家的。 卡洛斯：我尽量，但没法保证。这可是工作！ 加布丽埃勒：就像王子策马奔向夕阳，电影里这桥段可真是误导人。 卡洛斯：你知道你问题出在哪儿吗？你太紧绷了。该去泡个温泉、逛逛街，找点方式放松一下。 （卡洛斯出门时，加布丽埃勒狡黠一笑，拿起电话拨了个号码。镜头从加布丽埃勒身上向右移，画面左侧切换到约翰在课堂上接电话的场景） 约翰：喂？ 加布丽埃勒：你在哪儿？ 约翰：在上代数课。 加布丽埃勒：四点有空吗？ 约翰：不好说，放学后我还有田径训练。 加布丽埃勒：那尽量早点过来。我丈夫说我得放松放松。 约翰：那…… 我要不要像上次那样，穿着运动服过去？ 加布丽埃勒：如果可以的话，麻烦了。（两人相视而笑） 【切至：内景。斯加沃家 - 厨房】（汤姆坐在餐桌旁，勒奈特在收拾衣物准备洗衣服） 汤姆：要办晚宴？ 勒奈特：是啊，肯定会很有意思。布里掌厨，大家都会来。 汤姆：你知道吗？我到现在都还没来得及收拾行李呢，亲爱的。我只想…… 只想接下来几天好好歇会儿。 勒奈特：哦，汤姆。

本集是一个的美国人邀请参加party的情景！有很多地道用法： 比如，开派对 用的动词是 throw a party 邀请别人来家里是have some over 这次中英文台词都配齐了。Enjoy! ---------- 英文台词： NARRATOR: Yes, Bree was afraid of many things. But if there was one thing she wasn't afraid of, it was a challenge. NARRATOR: The day on Wisteria Lane began like any other, with a cup of coffee and the morning paper. LYNETTE: Just give me a second-5 minutes. NARRATOR: And while Lynette read the business section- NARRATOR: And Gabrielle studied the fall collections- NARRATOR: And Bree searched for decorating ideas. NARRATOR: Susan scanned the front page and saw something that caught her eye. (SUSAN and JULIE are sitting at the kitchen table. SUSAN reads the front page of the paper, taking a bite of a muffin. JULIE wipes something off SUSAN's face, then goes back to eating her cereal, reading a book open in front of her. SUSAN suddenly stops, as the camera pans to look at the paper. It reads: The Fairview Herald October 15, 2004 She looks up, then gets up and goes to a calendar hanging on the wall. She flips open to October, where we see a post-it note, reading Mary Alice dinner stuck on the 15th and 16th dates. She rips it off.) [CUT TO: EXT. SCAVO HOUSE -- MORNING] (SUSAN steps over toys lying scattered everywhere on the ground and front porch. She goes to the front door of the house, and knocks on the window pane on the door. The door opens to(Flashback to: MARY ALICE opening the door.) MARY ALICE: Well, it's about time. SUSAN: Be nice, I come bearing snacks. (holds up a bag of chips and a bag of pretzels, walking in the door as MARY ALICE follows her into the kitchen table, where LYNETTE, BREE and GABRIELLE are gathered.) BREE: Lynette, these cards are sticky. LYNETTE: I know. Preston used the three of diamonds to scoop jam out of the jar. GABRIELLE: Gorgeous, thankful we have 49 cards to play with. SUSAN: Hello, sorry I'm late. LYNETTE: Hey. MARY ALICE: So, Susan, I was just telling the girls I wanna throw a dinner party. SUSAN: Really? MARY ALICE: Yes, I mean, how long have we all lived on this street? We've never done a big group thing. BREE: I think it's a great idea. MARY ALICE: Paul never likes to have people over. Well, to heck with him, I'm doing it. SUSAN: So when is this shindig? MARY ALICE: How about a month from tonight? That would be the 16th, good for everyone? LYNETTE: Yeah. SUSAN: Yeah. BREE: Works for me. Should we all make something? MARY ALICE: Oh no, no. This is my party. I've been wanting to have everyone over for years. Oh I'm so happy we're finally doing this. It's gonna be so much fun. (End of Flashback. Resume to present.) (LYNETTE opens the door.) LYNETTE: Hey! (SUSAN holds up the post-it note) I know, our dinner. [CUT TO: EXT. WISTERIA LANE -- MORNING] (BREE, LYNETTE, GABRIELLE and SUSAN are standing outside on the street, next to a large tree. GABRIELLE passes the note along back to SUSAN, who holds it up.) SUSAN: How could we have all forgotten about this? LYNETTE: We didn't exactly forget, it's just usually when the hostess dies, the party's off. BREE: Lynette! (puts her hand over her heart) LYNETTE: I'm not being flip, I'm just pointing out a reality. GABRIELLE: Mary Alice was so excited about it. So sad. ---------- 中文翻译： 旁白：没错，布里害怕很多东西。但要说有什么是她不畏惧的，那便是挑战。 旁白：紫藤巷的一天，和往常一样，从一杯咖啡、一份晨报开始。 勒奈特：再给我一秒钟 —— 就五分钟。 旁白：勒奈特在看财经版时 —— 旁白：加布丽埃勒在研究秋季时装系列 —— 旁白：布里在找装修灵感。 旁白：苏珊扫了一眼头版，发现了一件吸引她的事。 （苏珊和朱莉坐在餐桌旁，苏珊一边吃松饼一边看晨报头版。朱莉帮苏珊擦掉嘴角的碎屑，便继续吃麦片，面前还摊着一本书。苏珊突然停下动作，镜头给到报纸） 报纸上写着：《美景镇先驱报》2004 年 10 月 15 日 她抬起头，起身走到墙上挂着的日历旁，翻到 10 月那一页，只见一张便签贴在 15 日和 16 日的日期上，上面写着 “玛丽・爱丽丝的晚宴”。她一把撕下便签。 【切至：外景。斯加沃家 —— 清晨】（苏珊跨过散落在地上和前廊的玩具，走到门口，敲了敲门上的玻璃窗。门开了，闪回至：玛丽・爱丽丝开门的画面） 玛丽・爱丽丝：可算来了。 苏珊：客气点，我可是带了零食来的。（举起一袋薯片和一袋椒盐卷饼走进屋，玛丽・爱丽丝跟在她身后进了厨房，勒奈特、布里和加布丽埃勒正聚在那儿） 布里：勒奈特，这些纸牌黏糊糊的。 勒奈特：我知道，普雷斯顿拿方块三舀果酱了。 加布丽埃勒：真行，还好我们还有 49 张牌能玩。 苏珊：哈喽，抱歉我来晚了。 勒奈特：嘿。 玛丽・爱丽丝：苏珊，我正跟姑娘们说，我想办个晚宴。 苏珊：真的？ 玛丽・爱丽丝：是啊，你想，我们在这条街上住了多久了？从没一起办过像样的集体活动。 布里：我觉得这主意太棒了。 玛丽・爱丽丝：保罗向来不喜欢家里来人。不过管他呢，我打定主意要办。 苏珊：那这派对啥时候办？ 玛丽・爱丽丝：一个月后的今晚怎么样？也就是 16 号，大家都方便吗？ 勒奈特：没问题。 苏珊：我可以。 布里：我这边没问题。要不要我们每人都做点菜？ 玛丽・爱丽丝：不不不，这是我的派对。我想请大家来家里做客好多年了。真开心我们终于要实现了，一定会特别有意思。 （闪回结束，回到现实） （勒奈特打开门） 勒奈特：嘿！（苏珊举起那张便签）我知道，我们的晚宴。 【切至：外景。紫藤巷 —— 清晨】（布里、勒奈特、加布丽埃勒和苏珊站在街边一棵大树旁，加布丽埃勒把便签递回给苏珊，苏珊举着便签） 苏珊：我们怎么会都把这事忘了？ 勒奈特：也不算完全忘了，只是通常主人家要是不在了，派对也就黄了。 布里：勒奈特！（手抚着胸口，一脸错愕） 勒奈特：我没乱说话，只是在陈述事实而已。 加布丽埃勒：玛丽・爱丽丝当初多期待这个晚宴啊，真可惜。 第四集 苏珊：我觉得我们该把晚宴办下去。

[CUT TO: EXT. WISTERIA LANE -- NIGHT] (We pan down on the peaceful Wisteria Lane at night, where everyone is fast asleep in their houses.) [PAN TO: INT. VAN DE KAMP HOUSE -- NIGHT] (We pan to BREE lying in bed awake, drumming her fingers.) NARRATOR: It's astonishing to look back on the world I left behind. I remember it all, every single detail. Like my friend, Bree Van De Kamp. (Flashback to:MARY ALICE at BREE's house, talking animatedly as BREE walks in with an easy smile, holding a dish in her hands.) NARRATOR: I remember the easy confidence of her smile. (Cut to:BREE standing at the head of the table, where REX, PAUL and MARY ALICE are sitting. They watch as she drizzles some alcohol over a dish, and lights it on fire.) NARRATOR: the gentle elegance of her hands. MARY ALICE: Wow. (Cut to:MARY ALICE and PAUL leaving, as they say their goodbyes at the front door.) NARRATOR: the refined warmth of her voice. BREE: Bye. NARRATOR: But what I remember most about Bree? BREE: Rex, wasn't that a lovely?(Her smile fades as she sees REX walking off, completely ignoring what she's saying.) NARRATOR: was the look of fear in her eyes. (End of flashback. Resume present) NARRATOR: Bree had started to realize her world was unravelling, and for a woman who despised loose ends, that was unacceptable. (BREE looks at the clock, which reads 5:35 am. She gets out of bed, and goes downstairs. We see her wearing a robe, bending over REX, sleeping downstairs on the couch. She shakes him awake.) BREE: Rex, Rex! You need to get up! REX: It's not even light out. BREE: Please hurry, if the kids see you sleeping down here, they're gonna start asking questions. (takes REX's blanket off him.) REX: Let'em ask, I don't care anymore. BREE: Well, I care. (pulls his pillow out from underneath his head.) They don't need to be burdened with our marital problems, and if we're working things out, the least we could do is try to keep up appearances. REX: (rolls his eyes) Oh yeah, appearances. I keep forgetting about appearances. BREE: Oh Rex, you look so tired. REX: Ah, I didn't sleep. This damn thing is so uncomfortable. BREE: Well, why don't you move back upstairs and sleep in our bed? REX: We're in marriage counselling, Bree, I think that would confuse things. BREE: It's just-I miss you. REX: I know you do. Of course, if I don't get some sleep pretty soon, I'll be forced to move back upstairs out of sheer exhaustion.

好像大半年没有更新了。因为精力都放在工作上，实在没有时间剪视频和音频了。现在工作步入正轨，未来应该有时间定期更新了。 我的公司是外企，平时工作语言英语居多。读写都是英文，也需要组织很多英语会议和全球同事共事，所以提升英语对我来说真的很重要。当初做节目也是因为自身有需求，然后剪视频挺花时间的，所以想着可以共享出来，方便更多的人。 但是现在这种句子复读机的形式可能对我来说难度有点低，我在考虑要不要改成“剧情连贯，慢速，但是句子不再复读”的形式。这样听起来连贯性更强一些，也更有看美剧的感觉一些，但可能会难度高一点。不知道大家喜欢那种形式呢？ 不更新的时候，还是有听众朋友在听以前的单集，也会留言问是否更新。我还挺意外的，也很感动。谢谢大家～大家的支持是我更新的很大动力 They just keep moving. It's a shame, really. There's so much to see. ANNOUNCER: Previously on Desperate Housewives, Susan took dating tips from her 12 year old daughter.

(Cut to: GABRIELLE, pushing a half-naked JOHN out the window, as CARLOS walks in the house.) GABRIELLE: Hi honey, you're home early. (Cut to: ) ANNOUNCER: And everybody's wondering? (Cut to: SUSAN, holding the mysterious note I KNOW WHAT YOU DID IT MAKES ME SICK I'M GOING TO TELL SUSAN: Oh Mary Alice, what did you do? ANNOUNCER: Why their best friend just killed herself. BREE: How much do we really wanna know about our neighbours? (Cut to: MIKE, putting down a gun on his side table. Cut to: The mysterious chest PAUL dumped in the river floating up to the surface. ANNOUNCER: Everyone has a little dirty laundry. (Fade out) OPEN ON: [INT. CREMATORIUM -- NIGHT] (We open on MARY ALICE, lying in a coffin. A coffin cover, with a label "MARY ALICE YOUNG" is slid over the top. A hand turns a nob, and we see cogs turning as a furnace is opened, and the coffin slides into the furnace.) NARRATOR: After I died, I began to surrender the parts of myself that were no longer necessary. My desires, beliefs, ambitions, doubts, every trace of my humanity was discarded. I discovered when moving through eternity, it helps to travel lightly. In fact, I held on to only one thing - my memory.

离开小宇宙已经快三个月了吧。这三个月默默地增加了很多订阅的朋友，其实蛮出乎我意料的。 做这个频道单纯因为想分享自己辛苦做的听力材料，也算回馈一下小宇宙平台。在我无聊，失意的时候，小宇宙的主播们给我很多放松、温暖和陪伴。 然而我也能料到这些单集们一定不会很火，学习本来就是反人类的。有时候我自己打开我的单集都很难坚持听完哈哈。每个单集很低的完播率也能证明这一点。但关注的人数比我想象的多，好学的朋友还是挺多的。感谢大家~ 我消失的三个月里，是去适应新工作了。新工作是外企的工作，和全球团队合作，高度使用英语。除了语言，行业也与我之前的行业不一样。所以需要全身心投入，就没有在更新了。 现在轻松一点点了，以后会开始每周更一集的。 虽然也不知道会不会有关注的朋友坚持听... 但是，正如当初重新拾起英语时，正如开这个分享频道时，我正一点点向全英环境靠近，也在向remote work靠近。 Every little helps.

He grew up in the late 1800's, there were no appliances back then. His mother had to do everything by hand, just backbreaking work from sunup to sundown. Not to mention the countless other sacrifices she probably had to make to take care of her family. And what does he do? He grows up and becomes famous, peddling a theory that the problems of most adults can be traced back to something awful their mother has done. (sighs) She must have felt so betrayed. He saw how hard she worked; he saw what she did for him. Did he even ever think to say, thank you? I doubt it. (smiles at DR. GOLDFINE, helping him put his jacket back on.) There you go. DR GOLDFINE: Just so you know, many of Freud's theories have been discredited. BREE: Good. LYNETTE: Boys, I am not gonna tell you again, sit. I mean it, I am serious. You guys are gonna be in so much trouble if you don't sit back in those seats. NARRATOR: For the first time, Lynette could see this was not the innocent play of children. She was being challenged. So she decided it was time to get creative. LYNETTE: Out. Can't behave, you heard me, can't ride. You, out. Move it.
