影片對白:

Tom: You thought my friend Bill looked pretty fantastic, huh?

Lynette: Okay, I went a little overboard. You know me...two margaritas, and I need a muzzle.

Tom: No, I completely agree with you. He looks really young.

Lynette: I know, right? He must take care of himself.

Tom: Actually, he told me his secret, and I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Lynette: No, you're not having plastic surgery.

Tom: It's my face.

Lynette: Uh, we live in a community property state, so half that face is mine.

Tom: Fine, you know what? You get the half below the nose. But these wrinkles up here? All going away.

Lynette: Tom, men don't need plastic surgery. They look better as they age.

Tom: Really? Because you couldn't stop talking about how great Bill looked. "you guys were classmates? You mean the same class at the same time?"

Lynette: Okay, that's a lousy impression of me.

Tom: Look, Bill said it really gave him a leg up in job interviews, and I could use that right now.

Lynette: You don't need a face-lift. What if I went out and got a boob job and came home with big, giant sideshow boobs? How would you like that?

Tom: I'd learn to live with it somehow.

Lynette: You're not doing this. We can't afford it!

Tom: It's an investment in our future. We can't afford not to. I'm calling the doctor and making an appointment. If you want, I can also get a price check on a pair of...

Lynette: I'm not getting a boob job.

Orson: Why don't I make you a nice cup of pearl-gray...Oh, dear God.

Bree:Orson, we've been robbed!

Orson: It wasn't me. I swear.

Man:No cuts! Back of the line.

Gabrielle: Oh, relax. I already ate dinner at home... in my box under the bridge. Fran? Oh, god. I was afraid I wouldn't find you here.

Fran: Ah, lucky you, I'm still poor.

Gabrielle: I feel bad I ducked out so fast the other day.

妙語佳句,活學活用

1.go overboard:狂熱追求,走極端。在本集《絕望主婦》中,Lynette擔心Tom因她夸贊Bill而吃醋,說到:“我剛才有點過了,你知道我就是這樣,酒后亂說話。”來看例句:

It would be very foolish of the musician to go overboard about pop music. 對那音樂家來說,過份喜歡流行音樂恐怕是太愚蠢了。

Let's not go overboard. 別做得太過火了.

2.plastic surgery: Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes two main fields: cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic.

3.community property:夫妻共有財產,見文化面面觀。

4.lousy:糟糕的,劣等的。Lynette對Tom說到:“我表現的太差勁了?!被颉澳鞘俏也缓谩薄?/p>

His health has been lousy. 他的健康狀況近來很糟。

He tried to sell me his lousy radio. 他想把他那臺破收音機賣給我。

5.leg up:幫助,名詞。Tom試圖說服Lynette同意他去整容:“聽著,Bill說在面試時 這確實有所幫助?!?/span>

I am sure that he will give us a leg up. 我相信他會助我們一臂之力的。

She is now devoting all her energies to giving him a leg up.她正在盡一切努力來幫助他。

6.face-lift:面部拉皮整容手術。也有翻新門面的意思,例如:

invested in the city's face-lift 投入市容改造

7.No cuts:別插隊!

8.duck out:巧妙地避開。Gabrielle抱歉的對落魄的Fran說:“我很抱歉,那天我走的太急了?!眮砜蠢洌?/p>

He can't duck out now. 他現在逃不掉了。

He tried to duck out of doing the chores. 他試圖逃避做那些雜活。
