【句子】I mean emotionally I’m just all jumbled up. And I don’t think I can leap right into something new, relationship-wise, you know, at the moment. 【Desperate Housewives-S1E17】 【发音】[aɪ] [mi:n] [ɪˈməʊ.ʃən.əl.i] [aɪm] [dʒʌst] [ɔ:l]/[ɑ:l] ['dʒʌmbld] [ʌp] [ænd] [aɪ] [dəʊnt] [θɪŋk] [aɪ] [kæn] [li:p] [raɪt] ['ɪntʊ] ['sʌmθɪŋ] [nju:] [rɪ'leɪʃnʃɪp-waɪz] [ju:] [nəʊ] [æt] [ðə] ['məʊmənt] 【发音技巧】just all连读；jumbled up连读；and I连读；don’t think不完全失去爆破；leap right不完全失去爆破；right into连读+闪音；at the不完全失去爆破； 【翻译】我现在，感情方面一团糟，我觉得现在的我并不适合尝试新事物，你懂得，比如一段新感情。 【适用场合】 今天我们学习三个表达： 1. jumbled up 在英语中，jumble这个单词作动词，可以理解成：把事物混乱地搅和在一起； 你可以说jumble sth. together 或者 jumble sth. up 都是这样的意思； 那么一般来说，这样的动词短语，我们比较常用被动语态： be jumbled up 或者be jumbled together eg: Books, shoes and clothes were jumbled together on the floor. 书籍、鞋子和衣服都被散乱地扔在地上。 eg: Her clothes were all jumbled up in the suitcase. 她的衣服都被揉成一团扔在手提箱里。 今天视频当中Susan的意思是说，感情方面，她真的是一团糟的一种状态。 2. relationship-wise 在英语当中，后缀-wise表示的意思是 关于……的；就……而论； 所以今天关键句中的relationship-wise就相当于之前出现的emotionally 比如你可以说： eg: I may be successful career-wise, but I’m a failure relationship-wise. 我事业上可能挺成功的，但是感情方面，我真的非常不顺利。 3. leap into sth. 在这里leap本身指的是跳； 英语中有一个俚语叫做: Think twice before you leap. 三思而后行。 所以今天关键句中出现的leap into sth. 可以用来指突然开始做新的一件事（并没有想好，做好思想准备）； 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 Jim一回家就把脏衣服乱扔在床上。

【句子】Hey, listen. I’m about to break for lunch. How would you like to join me? 【Desperate Housewives-S1E17】 【发音】[heɪ] [ˈlɪs.ən] [aɪm] [əˈbaʊt] [tʊ] [breɪk] [fɔ:(r)] [lʌntʃ] [haʊ] [wʊd] [ju:] [laɪk] [tʊ] [dʒɔɪn] [mi:] 【发音技巧】about to完全失去爆破；break for不完全失去爆破；would you音的同化；like to完全失去爆破； 【翻译】话说，我打算休息一下去吃个午饭，你要一起去吗？ 【适用场合】 说到break这个单词，大家平时常用动词v. 打破，或者n. 休息 比如说名词的用法，可以说 break the vase 打破那个花瓶 take a break 休息一下 今天这个视频中的对话里，break明显是动词，那么如何理解呢？ 所以break for sth. to stop working for something else, such as lunch, coffee, etc. 停下手头的工作（或手头的事儿），去吃个午饭，或者喝个咖啡等等。 所以这里的break有stop或者interrupt 停止，中断的意思。 所以 break for lunch 这里其实就是休息一下，去吃午饭。 eg: I want to break for coffee. 我想休息一下，喝个咖啡。 eg: I think we've done enough for now—let's break for lunch. 我觉得我们干得差不多了，我们休息一下，吃个午饭吧。 eg: I know you have to finish this paper, but can you break for a talk to your grandparents? 我知道你不得不完成这篇论文，但是你能不能稍微休息一下，和爷爷奶奶说说话呢？ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 我们一般会在12点半的时候休息，吃午餐。

【句子】-- I’m putting my mother in the grave.

This wasn't a moment for penny-pinching. 他点了豪华大餐，这会儿不是节衣缩食的时候。 2. be flush with cash flush这个单词有形容词的用法，可以用来表达：adj. 充满的； 如果口语中听到别人说：be flush with cash/funds/money 就指的是资金充足；有很多钱；不愁钱花这个意思； having a lot of money, usually for a short time eg: He works for a company that's flush with money. 他去了一家资金雄厚的公司工作。 eg: Today I am flush with cash. By tomorrow, I’ll be broke. 今天我手头挺宽裕，等到明天，我就一贫如洗了。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 For penny pinchers, the restaurant offers food at reasonable prices.

Helen在全镇最好的律师事务所工作，前途一片光明，所以我一直没搞明白，她为啥要下嫁给一个快餐店打工的。 这个表达让我们想起来了以前学过的A is out of B’s league 还记得这个短语的意思吗？ 是A配不上B 还是B配不上A呢？ 可以留言给我们哦！ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 如果你找一个社会地位不如你的去结婚，你的爸妈肯定会气炸！

【句子】Don’t you think that’s a little over the top? 【Desperate Housewives-S1E17】 【发音】[dəʊnt] [ju:] [θɪŋk] [ðæts] [ə] ['lɪtl] [ˈəʊ.və(r)] [ðə] [tɒp]/[tɑ:p] 【发音技巧】don’t you音的同化；think that’s a不完全失去爆破+连读；little闪音； 【翻译】你不觉得这样夸张了点吗？ 【适用场合】 今天我们就来复习一下over the top的用法， 之前在第150期节目的时候，我们就讲过这个短语的用法。 当时是在学习摩登家庭第一季第一集。 I just think it’s a little over-the-top. 我只是觉得，这样有点太过了。 今天呢我们来做更进一步的学习： over the top一般指的是： beyond a certain limit or quota 超出了一定的范围、份额 （这个表达在日常生活中，尤其英式英语里还经常简写为OTT） eg: The new salesmen are excellent. They were over the top within the first six months. 新来的这批销售真厉害啊，刚来半年就超额完成任务。 eg: We didn't go over the top. We didn't even get half of what we set out to collect. 我们还没有超额。我们甚至还没有达到我们当初预想的一半呢。 或者这个短语也可以表示 excessive or outrageous 过分的，夸张的； 做这个意思的时候，经常会加上连字符，构成复合形容词over-the-top eg: Maybe he went a little bit over the top with some of his language. 也许他说的有些话，确实是有些过分了。 eg: The comedy was so over-the-top that most of the audience was embarrassed. 这部喜剧有点过于夸张了，大部分的观众都觉得有点尴尬。 eg: Perhaps I was a little bit over the top, accusing you of being a traitor. 也许我当时指责你是一个叛徒，说得确实是过了一点。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 I was already thinking about buying the new car, but having a test drive in one pushed me over the top.
