Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.The Intern · 2015 — 第 6 / 18 章 · 2'10" · B2
校门口,家长聊起马特:他是「妈妈堆里唯一的爸爸」。有人提到 househusband(家庭主夫),马上被纠正:他们更愿意被叫 stay-at-home dad(全职爸爸);聊到他辞职带娃,又一句 save someone's butt(帮人解围/救场)。家长寒暄、纠正称呼都用得上。
学校门口,家长们聊起马特:他是「妈妈堆里唯一的爸爸」。有人用 househusband(家庭主夫)这个词,有人马上纠正,说他们更喜欢 stay-at-home dad(全职爸爸)这个叫法;又提到他当年辞职带娃,用一句很口语的 save someone's butt(帮人解围/救场)说这忙帮大了。随后有人请朱尔斯为聚餐带牛油果酱,还预设她没时间做。后半段一句反问把话题带到对职场妈妈的挑剔。家长寒暄、委婉请求、替人解围,都能从这几句里学到说法。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语

本章短语
全职爸爸father who stays home to raise children
对方刚说 househusbands(家庭主夫),这里有人认真纠正:他们更愿意被叫 stay-at-home dad(全职爸爸)。语气平静,“其实”这层意思把纠正的锋芒露出来。
He left a marketing job and became a stay-at-home dad.他辞去市场营销的工作,成了全职爸爸。
本意想要做
家庭主夫
帮人解围/救场
不确定是否
走正道/做正确的事

指全职在家照顾孩子的爸爸。台词里有人说,他们更愿意被叫作 stay-at-home dad,而不是 househusband(家庭主夫)。
可以说 save someone's butt。台词里聊到马特辞职带娃时,一句 Totally saved our butts 就是「帮人解围/救场」。
它用来委婉地说「不确定是否」。台词里先来一句 not sure if you got our e-Mail,再接着说聚餐安排,比直接追问更客气。
台词里 It's 2015 接在「走正道真累」之后,用年份表示「都什么年代了」,觉得这种事早该过时;换到今天就说 It's 2026(都 2026 年了)。
字面是「一大片海」,台词里 a sea of moms 指「一大片妈妈」,也就是妈妈人数非常多,马特是其中唯一的爸爸。
