Don't take more than two in a six-hour window.
六小时内不能超过两片。

这里window的用法比较特别。特别到老外也要去问为啥这么用。某猪看到一个解释,说这个用法最初是从NASA(美国航空航天局)来的。When a space shuttle needs entry from space, it needs a "window" to enable it to re-enter at the exact coordinates to ensure a safe landing that is not in hostile territory. 当航天飞机需要一个入口的时候,就需要有个window来确保飞机能够安全降落在一个精确的坐标上。

有国外网友还说:I've also heard,"I have a window between 2 and 2.45, I could see you then" Why they can't just say in plain english, "I could see you at 2pm." I'll never know. 我还听过“我2点到2:45有空,那时候可以见面”,为啥不能直接说,“我两点能见你”,一直搞不明白。有解释说这个用法是年轻人常用的,不过某猪在BBC的新闻标题中也看到两篇用six-hour window的,现在这个用法应该也逐渐被接受了吧。

说到这个window,某猪想起汉语里一个人没有 in relationship 的时候,就叫做空窗期,用的也是“窗”,其中的思维应该还是挺像的吧。

Hey, Pete Wentz called. He wants his nail polish back.
Pete Wentz 打电话说想把他的指甲油拿回去。

Pete Wentz,huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson daly fan?
Pete Wents 哈,你看了多少年的TRL啊,Carson Daly的粉丝啊?

Pete Wentz是美国乐团Fall Out Boy的贝斯手、第二主唱,同时也是主要的作词者。Carson Daly 是美国NBC的电视节目主持人,主持一个叫Last Call with Carson Daly 的节目,采访过Pete Wentz。在此之前,做过TRL节目的VJ。这句话从上下文来看,是Ty告诉vicki 节目Last Call with Carson Daly的剧情。Jeremy 笑他看这个节目。

You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground,huh?
你是真打算灵媒做到底了哈。
run into the ground:把…做过头

Great. It's the first day of school and you're stoned.
太好了,开学第一天你就嗑药磕高了。
stoned:(吸毒后)处于飘飘然状态的

And then back there, there was this bird, and it was all very hitchcock for a second.
那后面,有一只鸟,那场景有那么一会特别希区柯克。
希区柯克有部电影名叫The birds (鸟),台湾知名主持蔡康永主持第一届台湾金马奖的时候,还特地参考这部电影的剧照在肩膀上放了只乌鸦。
 

Wait,I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night.
Well done, aunt Jenna.
等下,让我说一句。别待太晚了哈,都开学了。
干得好,Jenna 阿姨。
Jenna显然还没有到给这么大俩孩子当妈的年龄,她的意思是假装端起家长的样子来说句话,过过家长的瘾。所以Elena才说她“干得好”。

She's a dead ringer for katherine.
她跟Katherine像一个模子出来的。
dead ringer:酷似某人

Dear diary, i couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that i could smile, nod my way through it, pretend like it would all be ok. I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was, create a life as someone new, someone without the past, without the pain, someone alive. The bad things stay with you. You can't escape them, as much as you want to. All you can do is be ready for the good. So when it comes, you invite it in, because you need it. I need it.
亲爱的日记,我大错特错了。我本以为我可以微笑着熬过我的日子,假装一切都会很好。我有个计划。我想要改变我自己,创造一个新的人生,一个没有过去的人生,一个没有痛苦的人生,一个鲜活的人生。糟糕的事情会一直跟着你,你无法摆脱,虽然你很想摆脱。你能做的就是准备好迎接美好的事情。当美好来临的时候,你邀请它进入,因为你需要它,我需要它。
这段日记拿来做做模仿练习不错。

某猪观后感:相遇这个名字是我乱起的(众:你以为梁祝开场啊,还私塾咧~~),Caroline一出场就是一活脱脱的DQ=drama queen 啊,男主角跟暮色是同款,果然是搭着暮色的吸血鬼风么(为啥moonlight 的Michael 同学就那么苦命),不过看了第一集还是觉得男猪不太有个性,反而他哥Demon的反派比较出彩诶。不知道这兄弟俩有啥孽缘,且听编剧下回分解了。
