美剧英语：《致命女人》第1季第7集.WhyWomenKill.S01E07
04:31
毒贩：Yeah. I was... I was a little surprised to get your text. It's, um, it's been a minute.
收到你短信的时候我有点意外。挺久没联系过了。
it's been a minute：[俚语] 好久不见
注：相当于“It's been a while”，所以你要和故友表示好久不见，也可以这么说。
本集语境：Eli重新联系了以前认识的毒贩子，毒贩表示好久不见。
05:14
毒贩：Okay, so I got this shit from Mexico. It's stepped on a little bit, but it's good. Just, like, 15% baby laxatives.
这是我从墨西哥搞到的，掺了点东西，但质量很好，就加了15%的婴儿泻药。
step on：[俚语]（给毒品）掺入杂质
The Free Dictionary英语释义：(Recreational Drugs) slang to adulterate drugs
注：常见的意思是“踩上……”，剧中的意思是比较少见的，了解一下就可以了。
laxative
(læksətɪv)
名词：泻药
07:10
Karl：I'm sorry, the suspense is slightly killing me now. Where is this going?
不好意思，这样吊人胃口太折磨我了。你到底要说什么？
Where is this going?：（情况）要怎样发展下去？
注：这句话的用法也很广，视语境而定，比如剧中的问法，就是Simone大清晨和Karl说了很多感性的话，让Karl有点摸不着头脑，便说了这句话，是用来问她到底要表达什么，带有询问这场对话的目的，接下来的关系走向的意思。引申一下，当你想了解人际关系或者事情状况的走向时，也可以这样发问。
08:15
Beth Ann：It's fine. We can catch up another time.
没关系，我们改天再聊。
April：Well, there's certainly a lot to catch up on.
确实有很多需要聊的。
catch up：叙旧
柯林斯英语释义：If you catch up on friends who you have not seen for some time or on their lives, you talk to them and find out what has happened in their lives since you last talked together.
例句：The ladies spent some time catching up on each other's health and families.
女士们花了一些时间了解彼此的健康状况和家庭情况。
09:05
April：You know, I phoned him at his work yesterday ten times. His secretary, Claire, won't put me through.
我昨天给他办公室打了十次电话，他的秘书Claire不给我转接。
put through：接通电话
柯林斯英语释义：When someone puts through someone who is making a telephone call, they make the connection that allows the telephone call to take place.
例句： The operator will put you through.
接线员将会帮你转接。
注：这个习语还有一个用法，就是“使某人遭受……”。本剧至少出现了三次，大家有兴趣可以翻翻我前几集的笔记。

这样啊，这预约和你的新男朋友Hector有关吗？
Karl：He may tag along, yes.
没错，他可能会一起来。
is there any chance ……：有没有可能……
注：我记得在哪里曾经看过，外国人觉得中国人说英语都不太礼貌，尤其是请求人帮忙的时候，张口就是“Can you……”。所以我们都建议尽量用
Could you ……
Do you mind ……
Could I trouble you ……
等等来开头。这类客气用法在网上很容易搜到，我这里不赘述啦，只是想表达，以“is there any chance”来开头，也是同样道理。网上文章提及的不多，这里出现了，我就作个补充吧~
tag along (with)：跟着一起来
麦克米伦词典英语释义：to go somewhere with someone else although you are not needed
例句：When Charlie goes on a business trip, I often tag along.
当Charlie出差时我一般都会跟着去。
注：这大概也可以用来形容“屁颠屁颠地跟着来”。

剑桥词典英语释义：to tell the truth about something that you have been keeping secret:
例句：I thought it was time to come clean (with everybody) about what I'd been doing.
我想是时候向大家说出我最近做了些什么了。
on the table：公开地（查看，讨论）
注：这个习语在09:59也出现过，那里是“offer on the table”，就好像把剧本放在桌上，供大家查看竞价。这里邻居提议要“放在桌子上”公开的，是Beth Ann一直对Rob隐瞒的事情。
32:28
Simone：Well, what do you mean, he keeps a journal?
你什么意思，他有写日记的习惯吗？
keep a journal：写日记
注：keep a diary也是“写日记”的意思。diary比journal更偏向日常生活，因为journal也包括工作日志，旅行记录等等意思在内。
