看美劇Bones第六季第5集學英語口語
It's good that Hannah's totally jazzed about her work, though.
jazz 興奮
雖然是我們熟悉的爵士樂的意思,但在俚語里頭能表示excite哦。
If you're not the cause of her ennui, then it stands to reason that you cannot make her happy.
it stands to reason 理所當然,那就是說
這是個習語,表示只能合理地歸結到某結論。
You know, it looks like a giant man-eating clam.
giant man-eating clam 巨蛤
就是海底超大的那種貝類,它以前有一個別名叫做man-eating clam殺人蛤,其實這是一個誤區(qū),正如Bren后面分析的這么大蛤蜊才不可能迅速合攏把人給吃了咧。
Now he's stuck in a hard place.
stuck between a rock and a hard place 左右為難
這里直接簡化成了hard place了
I guess I'm rusty.
rusty 生銹了
原來老外也會說腦子生銹哦。
Well, what he doesn't know, doesn't hurt him, right?
what they don't know won't hurt them 不知者不受傷
一般就是在不想告訴別人一些事情的時候會說這句話。
I find I am totally jazzed by your out-of-the-box lateral thinking.
out-of-the-box 不符合常規(guī)的思維,獨創(chuàng)性
If you're taking orders, I'd like a six-foot four, 37-year-old male with a good income and no mommy issues.
如果你們接受預定的話,我想要個6尺4上下、37歲左右、收入不菲無戀母情結的男銀。
為什么會莫名其妙冒出來這么一句呢?因為這一段Angela神奇地從那一大快水門汀里頭倒騰出來一骨架仿制品的樣子,真的很想科幻片里面造人的劇情哈。所以Cam就說她要定個男人了。(喂你們家婦科醫(yī)生呢?)
This guy's off the grid.
off the grid 脫離生活
所謂的grid指的是電網(wǎng),于是off the grid就是遠離電網(wǎng),可不就是脫離了實際生活了?
Well, that would put you out of business, wouldn't it?
put out of business 失業(yè)
All right, just simmer down there, uh...
simmer down 鎮(zhèn)定,淡定 to become calm or peaceful
simmer是小火慢燉的意思哦,于是字面就是消消火
We got off on the wrong foot here.
get off on the wrong foot 開了一個不好的頭
很有歷史的一個習語了,現(xiàn)在也有在用。字面就是起錯了步子,很形象。
But they worked it out.
work out 找到解決方法
"An honest tale speeds best being plainly told."

"There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow."
一只麻雀的生死都是命運預先注定的。——《哈姆雷特》
"By Isis, I will give thee bloody teeth," if thou with Robert paragon again.
原句是:By Isis, I will give thee bloody teeth, If thou with Caesar paragon again.——《亞歷山大大帝》
"But were we burdened with like weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain."
——《錯中錯》
This is the short and long of it.
總而言之 the most important point
這是一個習語,事情長長短短的都說齊全了,也就是把事情的真相給挑明了。有趣的是這句習語居然也是出自莎翁,《溫莎的風流娘們》。
