Hello，這裡是地道英語，我是W！今天這個視頻來自Desperate Housewives的第一季第10集。Julie把Zachary藏在自己家裡，終於還是被她媽媽Susan發現了。把Zachary送走之後，晚上Susan決定來找Julie談一談。沒想到女兒反過來指責她，這些年來母親和女兒的位置一直是顛倒的。帶孩子從來不是一件簡單的事情，Susan是應該反思一下了呢。快來跟W一起看看裡面地道的英語表達吧！

知識點：
【1】you're mad at me：你生我的氣。mad這個詞在Susan和Julie的口中出現頻率太別的高，我就不一一列舉了。最近的聽美劇學英語37期：What's wrong with now? 現在不行嗎？
【2】you turned him in：你出賣了他。在《一分鐘英語口語184期》中Gabrielle以為Helen告發她，警察是來抓她的，她說的就是 She turned me in。
【3】 someone had to be responsible：總要有人負責。responsible是形容詞，負責的。聽美劇學英語26期：He has every right to be angry中Rex對Bree說： All I'm saying, is that we need to take some of the responsibility here. responsibility是名詞，責任。
【4】I've got a birth certificate that says I'm your mother. 這句話中需要注意的是say這個詞，在這裡是“表明”的意思。
【5】I was in bad shape back then：我那時情況很糟糕。在聽美劇學英語35期：It's just sex, it's totally harmless中Susan形容自己當時的狀況用的說法是：you saw what a basket case I was 意思相同
【6】Zach's the one who's in trouble 看到這句話想到了 Zach is a troubled young man. 這句話以前同樣出現過好多次了。可憐的Zach總是跟各種trouble有關。
