I can’t have them thinking I moved to the suburbs and I shop at strip malls.

-Vern: When they see this dress they will crumple to the floor like the Botox tags they are.
crumple: (突然)倒下 Botox: 肉毒杆菌毒素 tag: 标签
但是她们要是看到你这身衣服肯定要惊叹得拜倒在地呀【Botox可以除去皱纹，Vern还真是会拍马屁，这句话的意思是如果你的朋友们看到你还是这么年轻漂亮，肯定会气倒在这光滑的地板上，这光滑的地板就像她们那标志性的打过Botox的脸】
-Gabrielle: Good. You know what? It’s a little snug.
snug: 合身的
很好，衣服好像有点紧。
-Vern: Yeah, I see that. I have the same thing in a zero, why not go up a size?
我也看出来了。不过这款衣服还有别的尺寸，换大一号的试试吧。

我就要穿小号的，笨蛋！

可是我才三个月啊，三个月肚子没那么大啊。

-Karl: Back off, just back the hell off!

别烦我，别烦我。
-Edie: What am I...
我到底…
-Susan: Hi. Okay, so I got the box on things you left on my porch.

你留在门外的盒子我拿到了。
-Mike: Yeah, I figured you’d want your stuff back.
figure:估计 stuff: 东西
我想你需要拿回自己的东西。
-Susan: Thanks. That’s great. Because if you decided to hang on to my Joni Mitchell CDs I’d have to come after you with a club.
hang on to: 紧紧抓住 come after: 跟着 club: 棍子
谢谢，如果你还扣着我的Joni Mitchell的CD不放（加拿大著名女歌手），恐怕我得拿着棍棒追赶着你要了。
You’re right, it’s not funny. Actually, I did want to see if you were aware that you gave me back the Valentine’s Day card that I made you.
valentine: 情人节
没错，一点不好笑。其实我来是想问问你知不知道，你把那张我给你做的情人节贺卡也退了回来。
-Mike: I was aware, yeah.
aware: 知道的
我知道。
-Susan: Oh. Well, I mean when two people split up, normally they don’t give things back like Valentine’s Day cards.
split up: 分手
其实两人分手一般不会退回情人节贺卡之类的东西。
If, if, you can throw it away. Just please don’t give it back to me, it’s tacky.
throw away: 扔掉 tacky: 寒酸的
你不想要的话，完全可以扔了，就是别退给我，样子实在不怎么样。
-Mike: I’m sorry.
不好意思。
-Susan: That’s okay. People make…mistakes.
没什么。是人都会犯...错误。
-Mike: Anything else?
还有什么事吗？
-Susan: Look, are you sure this is what you want to do?
你真的决意和我分手？
I mean, I understand that you don’t want our relationship to continue, you have made that clear.
continue: 继续 make clear: 讲清楚
我知道你不想继续我们的关系，你说的很明白。
But I sort of thought down the long corridors of time, maybe you and I could be friends, and if you keep acting like this...
the long corridors of time【长长的时空走廊，这里指很长很长的时间 corridor: 走廊】
但是我在想也许今后我们还可以做朋友，可如果你一直这样子…
-Mike: Susan, it’s over. On every level. Okay, I’ve, I've moved on. You should do the same.
on every level【在各个方面】 move on: 继续
Susan，我们结束了。彻底结束了，明白吗？我会开始新的生活，你也应该如此。
-Edie: You miserable son of a bitch! If I have secrets, I'm a hell of a lot better at keeping them than you are!
miserable: 可悲的 a hell of: 极好的
你可恶的混蛋！如果我要是有什么秘密。我绝对比你能保守秘密。
-Susan: Well I’ll say one thing for us. Even with all our problems we’re not acting like that.
不过我们之间倒有件事值得一说。尽管我们问题多多，可我们至少没像他们那样。
-Bree: Okay, I’m starting to get the feeling that we are not going to a yard sale.
