妙语佳句，活学活用

1. Blow off

“不在乎，轻视”，这里的意思是“他一点也没把你的话放在心上？”我们来看个例子：If you blow off your homework, you're bound to run into trouble on the exam.如果你不重视作业的话，考试肯定会有麻烦的。

2. Bat one's eyes

To bat one's eyes means to blink one's eyes in a flirtatious way,和“抛媚眼”差不多。比如：Look at that chick. She's batting her eyes at us.看那个小妞。她正朝我们抛媚眼呢。

3. A Karl in disguise

In disguise的意思是“乔装的，伪装的，化妆的”。A Karl in disguise从字面上看来是“乔装的卡尔”，实际的意思是说“另一个卡尔(和卡尔同样的人)”。比如：I don't like your boyfriend. I think he's a John in disguise. (John is your ex-boyfriend.)我不喜欢你的男朋友，他不过是另一个约翰罢了。

4. Screw up

在俚语中“弄糟，搞砸”的意思。比如：The engineers screwed up the entire construction plan.工程师们把整个施工计划搞砸了。

Screw和up和在一起就成了名词screw-up,意思也是“弄糟，搞砸”。

5. Piss off

有两个意思，一个是to make or become angry,比如：That letter pissed me off.那封信把我气坏了。另一个是to go away / leave,比如：Piss off and stop bothering me.走开，别再烦我。

6. In a rut

“照惯例，照老规矩，墨守成规”。Mama Solis认为自己年纪大了，身材走形了，不应该再花那么多金钱和时间在买衣服上了，这也是很多上年纪的女人的想法。Gabrielle则告诉她“不要抱着这种传统的想法”。我们来看个例子：We go to the seashore every summer-we're in a rut.每年夏天我们都去海边，这已成为惯例。

7. Spice up

To spice up means to make it more appealing or sexy。“辣妹”的英文就是Spice Girls,两相对照联想，你应该会明白是什么意思了吧。比如：Want to spice up a golf game？Add tasty tees.想为高尔夫球比赛增添趣味？来点别致的球座吧。

8. Form-fitting

“贴身的，紧身的”。比如“紧身衣服”：a form-fitting cloth。

Mary Alice Young: Of the many suburban rituals, none is quite so cherished as the neighborhood yard sale. The shoppers come to sift through the discarded belongings of someone they don't really know, in the hopes of finding bargains they don't really need, each so determined to save a few pennies, they often miss hidden treasures.

Susan: Hey, Paul.

Paul: Hi, Susan.

Susan: I got to say, I was a little surprised to see Mary Alice's award for sale. She got it for doing charity work, from the Chamber of Commerce.

Paul: Zach and I are moving. We don't need to carry any more with us than is absolutely necessary.

Susan: That makes sense. Still, I just want to make sure you didn't want to keep it, for Zach, something to remember his mother by.

Paul: Zach doesn't need a piece of glass to remember his mother. I'm out of newspaper. Here, let's call it ten bucks for everything.

Susan: Great. Speaking of Zach, I haven't seen him around lately.

Paul: He's been a bit depressed. I thought he could use a change of scenery, so I sent him to stay with relatives.

Susan: Oh, which ones?

Paul: You don't know them.

Susan: So, how'd you get the fat lip?

Paul: The usual way. Asking too many questions.

Gabrielle: Find out where Zach is?

Susan: No, but I can tell you this much. He's not staying with relatives.

Carlos: It's driving me crazy, mama. It could be any one of these guys she's having the affair with. Mama Solis: No worry about it. I'm not letting her out of my sight.

Carlos: Now, who the hell is that? And look at the way she's touching him. You think that's the guy she's having the affair with?

Mama Solis: Carlos, don't be stupid. A guy she talks to in public isn't someone you're gonna worry about.

Carlos: So it's someone that she doesn't talk to. What do I have to do? Beat up every guy in town? Mama Solis: Marriage takes work!

Lynette: I'm not surprised that he's playing it close to the vest. Paul knows we're on to him.

Bree: Zach said Mary Alice killed herself because of something that he had done, something bad. Is there anyone else who'd know what he was talking about?

Susan: No. That's why we have to find him. It's the only way we'll know the truth.

Bree: It just doesn't make any sense. Zach is such a sweet kid. I can't imagine him doing anything that terrible.

Gabrielle: Well, he did break into your house. I mean, the kid is obviously troubled in some way. 妙语佳句，活学活用
