End of 2-6.

~~~~~第2季第7集~~~~~~

抛弃某人 walk out on sb. 跟dump sb.类似。根据字面意思的不同，可猜到应用的区别。walk out本意有罢工、退席的意思，dump则是倒垃圾。个人感觉walk out on和dump分别对应汉语口语里“抛弃”和“甩”。dump更口语化。可有高人指点？

我觉得他们很玩得来 I got the feeling they were sort of enjoying themselves.地道英语富含各种修饰用语，象sort of,kind of等，表达个人对别人的feeling时，用sort of来润色即不显得主观，又避免了绝对化的生硬，表达了“有那么点”的意思。再看冠希接受采访的第一段某句...and I feel, you know, I've kept quiet just to kind of respect everyone and respect the law...kind of去掉也是100%正确的句子，但有它表示思维过程，日常口语多无准备，为了语言流畅，需要这样的润色词吧。

要不这样? what would you say to doing...? to 后接n.和doing。

不顾一切 at all costs

我怎能那样做呢？ How am I supposed to do like that?

照B超 get a sonogram

...什么的 Honey,you need to put that in a frame or something?最好加个框什么的...or something,是放在句尾的不确定润色词，跟sort of,kind of等放句中的不确定词用途类似。

...的本能/本性驱使 It's a natural impulse.

好好照照镜子 give yourself a long,hard look in the mirror

我支持/赞同你。I'm with you.跟I back you类似，但i'm with you语义更随意点，不需要精确表达“支持”。

继续 carry on.类似有go on.keep on doing...etc.

将来某时某刻...Somewhere down the line, mike and I at least can be friends.

麻木 All right, you're not zen,you are numb.

放心，我们没忘 rest assured, we have not forgotten. rest assured很常用，还可以跟从句，意放心好了...

peek-a-boo, 躲猫猫，偷偷看的游戏。

大卖场 strip malls

我倒 crumple to the floor...

(衣服)有点紧 it's a little snug. snug是衣服贴身之意，跟fit很合适一样，都是褒义词，但如果形容稍微有点过，就是a little (bit)...之前有bree觉得酱放得稍微多了点的句子the sauce is a little bit fit...

你知道就好。Good you know.

蠢猪，笨蛋 you twerp.

你干嘛发这么大火？Why you getting snippy?

我有（做）...的打算...I was sort of hoping that....
