In the kitchen, 6:45 P.M.
Mom: Honey, you'll let me watch my show, right? I'll make it worth your while.
Dad: Don't try that with me. It doesn't work anymore.
Mom: See why I need to watch Sex and the City? It's the only excitement I get around here!
Dad: Exciting? All they do is go from fling to fling! Is that the life you want?
Mom: They get to dress up and enjoy life. And men pay attention to them!
Dad: I'll be going to the neighbors to watch my show. I'll be back in time for Jay Leno.

晚上六点四十五分,在厨房
妈妈:亲爱的,你会让我看我的节目对吧?我会好好报答你的。
爸爸:别跟我来这套。已经不管用了。
妈妈:了解我为什么要看《欲望城市》了吧?这是这里唯一能让我感到刺激的事!
爸爸:刺激?她们就只会到处勾三搭四!那就是你想要的生活吗?
妈妈:她们能够打扮光鲜并且享受生活。而且男人也会注意到她们!
爸爸:我要去隔壁看我的节目了。我会赶回家看杰雷诺的节目。
重点解说:
1、 excitement (n.) 刺激。形容词是exciting
2、 fling (n.) (一时的)放荡
3、 dress up 穿上盛装,装扮
4、 pay attention to 关心,注意
5、 Jay Leno 杰雷诺,这里爸爸是想看Jay Leno主持的《杰哥戽斗秀》The Tonight Show。《律师本色》The Practice是一律师影集。ABC是指电视台 ‘美国广播公司’American Broadcasting Co.
