11. I'm eight points down in the polls.——down in the polls在投票选举中落后

12.  
-I'm a freak show. I have busted, like, every bone in my body, stabbed myself in the chest, I've shoved a two-foot steel rod through my neck, and l don't have a scratch on me.
- What do you call that thing sticking out?
——freak show，兴起于1840年到1940年的美国，主要是嘉年华一类的娱乐活动中展出奇怪的表演，例如两个头的牛，一只眼睛的猪等等。这里，她 bust(ruin completely) every bone, stab(刺伤，用刀等捅) herself in the chest, shove a two-foot steel rod through her neck（把一个两脚钢杆穿过脖子）, but with no scratch on her看起来就很像这种表演。
——stick out 突出，这里指她的肋骨戳穿了身体突出来了。这句话其实有点幽默，既然她说你从未受过伤，那从你身体里突出来的东西你管它叫什么？

13. I gotta get this out of the press. I gotta make sure this stays buried.——阻止该消息被出版，让它销声匿迹。

14. Alpha Dogs —— The Americans Who Turned Political Spin into a Global Business，这里用来指那父子俩对权利的野心。

光看美剧学英文是不够滴！^o^口语也要扎实学

15.
-What? You gonna retire on what you make? ——做你现在做的事情一直到退休？
-Maybe I'll shoplift my socks. ——拿偷袜子的事情挖苦她。shoplifting 入店行窃
-Don't get smart.When you put everyone else first, you end up last. You always put Nathan first. He took advantage.——get smart with对人无力，贫嘴，耍小聪明/这里母亲讲述她个人对先人后己的理解。
-Yeah, it wasn't you that was just pushing him right out in front of me?——反义疑问的强调句
-He takes up more space than you，demanded more attention. And besides, it's not my fault you allowed it.
-He's my brother. I love him.
-Love is overrated. ——overrate高估，这里是说爱往往使人高估了对方的价值，overrated正如同concerned这类动词的过去分词，是表示具有某种性质，而非被怎么了，即concerned 是关心别人的，而不是被考虑到的意思；然而unharmed这样的动词过去分词，则不表示性质，而表示被动意义，即unharmed是不受伤害的意思，不是指无害的。
-And he loves me too. I know it. We've always been close.
-Rose-colored glasses.——look through rose-colored glasses，乐观看待事物, 这里省略了动词，是母亲教育儿子不要太天真。

-You're wrong. It's biological, and I can't help it. We're...we're connected.——related指有血缘关系，connected更有生死与共的语感/ can’t help it不是我帮不了他，而是指情不自禁等于can’t help doing

17. fish tank ——鱼缸

18.It's just two weeks overdue.——overdue过期的，指过期了两周。

19.He sent some mouth breather.——mouth breather原指由于病理只能用嘴呼吸的人，因此他们看起来迟钝又庞大。由于用嘴呼吸常常被认为是不卫生也不礼貌的，所以用嘴呼吸的人也被认为是无礼又无知的。这里指武夫，只知道用武力解决问题的人。

20.You need to come up with that 30 grand, plus interest now. Or you gotta run.——grand一千美元/ Interest利息/ come up with 出了想出还有提出交出的意思

22.Suicide bombing——自杀式爆炸，恐怖事件多发的年代一定要会的词。

23.You can't go cold turkey, not alone. I mean, let me help you, please.——go Dutch由于对荷兰人的持有小气的偏见，所以用去荷兰表示各自付账或者均摊费用；而go cold turkey 不是指去土耳其，而是说放弃长久的不健康习惯，比如吸烟吸毒等。

24. An unidentified Samaritan witnesses（身份不明的撒玛利亚人目击者） described as a young teenage girl ran into the flames and rescued the young lieutenant. Now, the train is registered to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission（在核武器管理委员会注册登陆）, and there has been no official statement yet.——典型新闻报道中使用的语言，值得积累。
