这场戏：躲家里被劝出门冒险
第 3 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'58"
乔乔伤了脸和腿，躲在家里不肯出门，说自己 I look stupid（我这样子很蠢）。罗茜一句 Not everyone's lucky enough to look stupid（不是每个人都有幸长成这副傻样）逗笑他，再鼓励他 pluck up your courage（鼓起勇气），walk out that door（走出那扇门）去冒险。想学怎么用英语给孩子打气，这段又好笑又温柔。
「鼓起勇气」英语说 pluck up your courage
do wonders for 对……大有好处lucky enough to 有幸做某事pluck up your courage 鼓起勇气walk out that door 走出那扇门
乔乔被手榴弹炸伤后，脸上留疤、走路也不利索，躲在家里不敢见人。他先被妈妈说 You're fine as you are（你这样就挺好），可他还是自嘲 I look stupid（我这样子很蠢），罗茜便拿他开玩笑：Not everyone's lucky enough to look stupid（不是每个人都有幸长成这副傻样），最后鼓励他 pluck up your courage（鼓起勇气），walk out that door（走出那扇门）去冒险。后来克伦岑多夫给乔乔派了发传单的活儿，叮嘱 make sure he feels included（确保他没被落下）；贝茨勒太太却抱怨 It's because of you my son can't walk properly（都怪你，我儿子才走不利索）。想学用英语打气、自嘲和吐槽，这里很全。
