英文电影精讲《绝望主妇》一

影片对白：

Susan：Okay. Yeah, I guess that could be fun. While our friends are toasting to our everlasting¹ happiness, we can yell, "surprise! It's all a sham²! Thanks for the crock-pot!"

Jackson: No, no, no. We can't tell anybody this is a fake. The whole thing could blow up.

Susan：Can't I at least tell the girls?

Jackson: No way. I mean, they don't call her "Gabby" for nothing.

Susan：Wow. Ah, fake marriages-they're complicated.

Jackson: I... I... I know I'm asking a lot, Susan.

Susan：No, no. It's okay. I wanna do this. Truth is... I miss you, and the house has been kind of lonely since you left.

Jackson: Well, I hear you loud and clear.

Susan：Not that lonely.

Lynette: What are you doing?

Tom: Thinking.

Lynette: Well, think inside. I made pork chops.

Tom: Aren't you gonna ask me about my job interview?

Lynette: Oh, right. How'd that go?

Tom: Ok... Until the 30-year-old who was interviewing me asked me if I'd ever used twittering as part of a marketing³ campaign.

Lynette: And what'd you say?

Tom: Nothing…Because I don't know what "twittering" is.

Lynette: It's a social networking tool where you send instant updates to anybody who signs up for them.

Tom: So you knew about this, and yet you kept it from me?

Lynette: I didn't keep it from you. It's just one of those tech things that you don't care about. It's for young people.

Tom: And I am a dinosaur⁴ marching into the tar⁵ pit.

Lynette: I didn't say that. You're not gonna get a whole lot of sympathy from me. I just went through the same thing. Remember?

Tom: Yeah, but you didn't tell me how bad it was. That's another thing you kept from me.
