这场戏：怕妥瑞氏症拖累女友
第 16 章 · 共 17 章 · 5'02"
南希第一次见布拉德的妈妈，全家人被拉来给她家的感觉；可妈妈私下问两人是不是认真的，布拉德承认自己害怕：有一天南希会 fed up（受够了）跟他一起生活。妈妈点醒他，真正会伤害你们的，是让妥瑞氏症把她 drive her away（逼走）。想表达「受够了」，这句最地道。
老师说 You made such a huge difference（你带来这么大的改变）
no longer able to 再也没法cheer her up 让她开心起来about to 马上要
布拉德带南希回家见妈妈艾伦，全家上阵，妈妈更是用力过猛，一心想让南希 feel like family（有家的感觉）。私下里妈妈问两人是不是来真的，布拉德说自己一直不敢想，怕有一天南希会 get fed up（受够了）跟他生活。妈妈点破：真正会把两人分开的，是让妥瑞氏症 drive her away（把她逼走）。后来学生海瑟病重，全班 pitch in（一起出力）给她准备礼物，海瑟去世后，有人对布拉德说 You made such a huge difference in Heather's life（你对海瑟的人生影响太大了）。这些说法很实用：想夸人像一家人用 feel like family，说自己受够了用 fed up，夸别人有贡献用 make a difference。

下一章 · 17je ne sais quoi说不清的魅力这场戏：父子摊开多年心结意思是「受够了、厌烦了」，常和 of 或 with 连用，比如 get fed up with something 就是对某件事再也受不了。语气比 tired 重，通常是忍了很久才说出口。
用 feel like family。比如妈妈张罗了一桌菜，就是想让客人 feel like family（像一家人一样自在）。也可以用 make someone feel at home，意思相近。
意思是「一起出力、凑份子」。班里同学凑钱给生病的同学买礼物，就可以说 the class pitched in。需要大家搭把手做事时也常用。
是。它指带来实实在在的改变。You made a huge difference in her life 就是「你对她的影响很大」，常用来感谢老师、医生或帮过忙的人。
用 steal someone for a second。比如妈妈想把客人叫去厨房帮忙，就说 I'm just going to steal her for one second，语气轻松，带点玩笑。
