    【臺(tái)詞翻譯】
    bree: 話說(shuō)我和我室友一開始也看不對(duì)眼,后來(lái)有天晚上我從treats truck買了冰激凌蛋筒跟她分享之后,我們就變得要好了。她有教我用斯瓦希里語(yǔ)說(shuō)"你好"哦。jambo.blair: 嗷。那你知不知道"別多管閑事"用斯瓦希里語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)么?當(dāng)然不是針對(duì)你哈,說(shuō)不定出去旅游用得上。
    chuck: blair,別這樣。bree,聽(tīng)說(shuō)你上周回家了?
    bree: 是啊。要跟他們解釋下我和van-der-bilt在約會(huì)的事兒,不過(guò)無(wú)濟(jì)于事啦。我們南方人嘛,家族的忠實(shí)度很要緊的。
    blair: 就跟奴隸制一樣誒。怎么了?我開玩笑嘛。你知道我只是開玩笑的是吧,bree?
    nate: 那么s最近怎么樣?她還在和baizen同進(jìn)同出是吧,還沒(méi)想明白么?
    bree: carter baizen么?他在這里???我以為他出公務(wù)去了。
    blair: 他確實(shí)去了。旅行很重要的。bree你有想過(guò)出去旅行么......到很遠(yuǎn)很遠(yuǎn)的地方去?
    chuck: 不知道你還認(rèn)識(shí)carter啊。
    bree: 認(rèn)識(shí)啊。以前我們兩家人一起在海島上度假的。我還在想他最近怎么樣呢。不介意我來(lái)點(diǎn)餐吧?nate: 她去年去了上海的。
    【口語(yǔ)講解】mind your own beeswax
    這個(gè)詞組就等于mind your own business,意思是別多管閑事。mind your own beeswax是比較古老的一說(shuō)法,據(jù)說(shuō)在18世紀(jì),女性會(huì)在臉上抹蜂蠟遮蓋痘印。(really?!)如果坐得離壁爐太近的話,臉上的蜂蠟就會(huì)化掉。別人好心提醒的時(shí)候,就會(huì)有人很不客氣地回敬說(shuō):“你管好你自己臉上的就行了!”
