【句子】-- I mean, that definitely looks bad. -- Since I was on probation. 【Desperate Housewives S2E6】 【发音】/aɪ/ /mi:n/ /ðæt/ /ˈdef.ɪ.nət.li/ /lʊks/ /bæd/ /sɪns/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /wɑːz/ /ɒn/ /ɑːn/ /prəʊˈbeɪ.ʃən/ 【发音技巧】that definitely失去爆破+不完全爆破；Since I连读；was on连读； 【翻译】-- 那样的话，确实看起来挺糟糕。 -- 因为我还在缓刑期内。 【适用场合】 今天节目中，我们学习一下be on probation的用法。 probation的用法和意义，我们来看两条不同的英文解释： 1. a period of time when a criminal must behave well and not commit any more crimes in order to avoid being sent to prison 2. a period of time at the start of a new job when you are watched and tested to see if you are suitable for the job 所以，probation既可以用来表示“缓刑期”，也可以用来表示“见习期、试用期”的意思； 而be on probation就表示“处在缓刑期”或者“处在见习期”； 英文中还有place/put someone on probation，可以表达“判某人缓刑”或者“使某个人处于见习期”这样的意思； eg: He was fined and given two years' probation. 他被罚款，并被判两年缓刑。 eg: The judge put him on probation for two years. 法官判了他两年缓刑。 eg: The prisoner was put on probation. 这个犯人被判缓刑。 eg: She received a $3,000 fine and was placed on probation for four years. 她被处以3000美元的罚款，并被判缓刑4年。 eg: He’s on academic probation. 他正被留校察看。 （学生由于学业成绩不佳, 可受留校察看处置, 如果试读一段时间, 仍然没有起色, 即行开除） 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 A young woman admitted three theft charges and was put on probation for two years.

【句子】It's comforting to know there's this silver lining. 【Desperate Housewives S2E6】 【发音】/ɪts/ /ˈkʌm.fə(r).tɪŋ/ /tʊ/ /nəʊ/ /ðeə(r)z/ /ðɪs/ /ˈsɪl.və(r)/ /ˈlaɪ.nɪŋ/ 【发音技巧】暂无； 【翻译】总算在黑暗中还有一丝光明。/这事儿还有好的一面，真是让人感到欣慰。 【适用场合】 今天节目中，我们学习一下silver lining的用法。 其实这已经不是我们第一次见到它的使用了。 之前节目中，我们学习过这样一段话： Every cloud has a silver lining. 字面意思是：“每朵乌云后面总有一线光明”；它可以引申为：“黑暗中总有一线希望；乌云背后总有阳光”这样的意思； 所以今天视频中的silver lining的意思，跟这个也有很大关系，可以理解成：a consoling or hopeful prospect，一个让人感觉到欣慰、或者充满希望的方面； eg: If there's a silver lining to losing my job, it's that I'll now be able to go to school full-time and finish my degree earlier. 如果丢掉工作这事儿有益处的话，那就是我将能够全日制上学，早点拿到我的学位了。 eg: There could be a silver lining to getting laid off—you might find a job you actually like! 下岗也可能有好处的：你可能会找到一份你真正喜欢的工作！ eg: The rally had a disappointing turnout, but the silver lining was that those who came pledged a great deal of money. 这次集会的到场率让人失望，但是有一个好的方面就是：来了的人认捐了一大笔钱。 eg: The fall in inflation is the silver lining in this prolonged recession. 通货膨胀率的下降是这场旷日持久的经济衰退中的一线希望。 eg: I must say, I had trouble finding a silver lining in the report. 我不得不说，在这份报告里，我看不出任何希望。 eg: Even Clarke, usually a man to find a silver lining in the blackest cloud, admitted that the company was in trouble. 就算是克拉克这个经常在困境中乐观积极的人，都承认这家公司有麻烦了。 值得注意的是，有的时候，人们也会说：every silver lining has a cloud，什么意思呢？ “每个好事都会有一些不好的方面”； 来看看对应的英文解释： It means that every good situation has a bad aspect. 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 We got on brilliantly. He was clever, kind, funny — and leaving for New York on Tuesday. Every silver lining has a cloud, it seems.

【句子】I mean, I made sacrifices. 【Desperate Housewives S2E6】 【发音】/aɪ/ /miːn/ /aɪ/ /meɪd/ /ˈsæk.rɪ.faɪsɪz/ 【发音技巧】made sacrifices不完全爆破； 【翻译】我意思是，我（为家庭）做出了牺牲。 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习一下英文中这个表达，叫做make sacrifices。 “做出牺牲”的意思；此时的sacrifice可以理解成：the fact of giving up sth. important or valuable to you in order to get or do sth. that seems more important eg: Making sacrifices is part of raising children. 做出牺牲是养孩子的一部分。 eg: He was willing to make any sacrifice for peace. 他愿意为了和平做出任何牺牲。 eg: She made many sacrifices to get Anita a good education. 她为了阿丽塔能接受好的教育，做出了很多牺牲。 eg: Her parents made sacrifices so that she could have a better life. 她的父母亲做出了很多牺牲，以便她能过得更好。 eg: The war required everyone to make sacrifices. 这场战争需要每个人都做出牺牲。 除此以外，今天视频中，我们还出现了另外一个词，叫做wash-and-wear，台词是这样说的： I wore wash-and-wear. 我当时穿廉价的免烫衬衫。 这里的wash-and-wear明显和前面的designer suit是相对的。 a wash-and-wear shirt指的是那种洗完不用熨烫的衬衫，一般价格比较便宜。 而designer suit一般都是设计师出品，品质好，设计也独特，但是价格昂贵。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 No sacrifice is too great when it comes to her children.

It is used to imply that someone's opinion, decision, behavior, etc., is wildly absurd, nonsensical, or inappropriate. 这里的smoke其实不是“吸烟”的意思，多多少少有点“嗑药”的含义； eg: You picked bright yellow wallpaper for our bedroom? What are you smoking? 你给咱们卧室选了一个亮黄色的壁纸？你在想啥呢？ eg: A: "I just bought us tickets to Tokyo! We leave next week!" B: "What are you smoking? I can't just drop everything and fly to Tokyo!"
