Part 2 They Decide to Move out. 他们决定搬走了。

Dialogue Script 1  对话原文 1

Peter: Lisa! I've had it!
Lisa: What now?
Peter: Look! There's someone's garbage in front of our door!
Lisa: And there's a pile of plywood, too!
Peter: I have a pretty good idea whose it is!
Lisa: Don't go blaming them when you don't know. It could be some other neighbor's.
Peter: The other neighbors have class. They couldn't do such a thing.
Lisa: I guess you're right. Jenny's moving it right now.
Peter: Jenny! What are you doing leaving your garbage in front of my door?
Jenny: I had two bags, and they were too heavy to carry. So I left one here.
Peter: You don't just go off and leave your trashing lying around!
Jenny: I'm getting it now, Peter. You must have a lot of stress in your life.
Peter: And what about this plywood! You just threw it in front of our door.
Jenny: I'll clean it up! Watch your blood pressure, Peter. Stress will kill you.

讲解：

1. Peter又开始抱怨了，那么现在又发生了什么状况了呢？原来Peter家门前不知道是谁放了一袋垃圾，Lisa又发现门前还堆着一堆三合板。Peter说他一看就知道是谁的了，他当然是指这又是Jenny干的好事。

2. 大家都知道，I have no idea.这句话表示“我不知道”，那么相反，如果对情况非常了解，就可以说I have a pretty good idea.可不是字面上理解的“我有一个相当好的主意。”的意思。我们来举几个例子，---I don't think you know how hard relationships are. ---I have a pretty good idea. I'm divorced. ---你不知道维系爱情关系有多难。---我非常了解，因为我已经离婚了。还有，---I have a pretty good idea how to fix this. ---Thank goodness someone understands computers. ---我修理这东西很在行。---谢天谢地，还好有一个懂电脑的人。在对话中，Peter虽然没有亲眼看见乱扔垃圾的人，但他用这个句子来表示“用膝盖想也知道”的意思。

3. Lisa劝Peter在没有确切的证据之前不要妄下判断，Peter却一口咬定就是Jenny干的，因为其他的邻居都很有素质，这里的class表示“气质，水准，素质”，比如说，She's got a lot of class. 她实在是很有气质。

4. Lisa看见Jenny在搬那些东西，就知道Peter猜的没错。Peter上前质问Jenny为什么要把垃圾放在他们家门前，Jenny解释说，因为她手里有两个垃圾袋，太重了，她拿不动，就先留下了一个。Peter指责她说，那也不能把垃圾袋乱丢阿，leave sth lying around 这个短语表示“把某物四处乱放”，She left her magazines lying around the living room. 客厅里铺天盖地都是她的杂志。

5. Jenny还觉得很奇怪，不就是个垃圾袋嘛，她现在就去收走，Peter至于这么生气吗？所以她猜Peter最近的压力太大了，所以才会乱发脾气。她还好心提醒Peter要注意自己的血压，压力太高有损健康。
