The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBob starts by excitedly talking about a morning radio show, but Annie has found some questionable magazines hidden in the garage. Her questions are not really about the magazines; they are a way to confront how absent and inattentive he has become. Bob jokes, deflects, and finally apologizes, while Annie tests whether his promises mean anything. The scene is a compact lesson in sarcasm, relationship subtext, and everyday spoken chunks.

No wonder + 陈述句:难怪……
解释一个明显结果,也可用来委婉吐槽。
That explains why... / It's no surprise that...

重读 wonder、look、anymore;在 anymore 前稍停。
“Bad enough I've got to hide them like some teenager.”
已经够糟了,我还得像个毛头小子似的把它们藏起来。
用夸张的自嘲包装不满,把尴尬和婚姻压力一起说出来。

抱怨一件麻烦后,再补充更糟的后果。
As if ... weren't bad enough. / It's bad enough that...
