This art director just ran off with the husband of this photo editor. So I sat all of "Vanity Fair" between them. I figured we'd want to avoid a catfight in front of the catwalk.

Vanity Fair: 《名利場》雜志(,講很多名流的八卦。這里喻指把這兩個(gè)冤家位置分開,讓那些名流們坐在他們中間。
catfight: two women fighting

scrambled egg 炒蛋(和中餐的炒蛋不一樣,里面通常會(huì)放cheese一起炒,鹽和胡椒也需要自己另外加)
omelet 煎蛋卷(就是把煎蛋卷起來,里面包火腿、洋蔥、青椒、香菇等)
fired egg, sunny side up荷包蛋(只煎一面)
fried egg, over easy荷包蛋(兩面都煎)

你并不是真的關(guān)心我女兒的事情。注意紅色部分的表述,作為一個(gè)non native speaker, 我們比較少會(huì)想到用這樣的表述。
