下一章 · 05Peeping Tom偷窥狂这场戏：湖里救人反被误会字面是「从另一块布上裁下来的」，意思就是「与众不同、是另一路人」。查德用它自吹，说自己和艾莉森是一类人。
stick up for。意思是替某人撑腰、为某人说话。片里塔克就数落戴尔不肯 stick up for yourself（为自己出头）。
意思是「出人头地、混得好」，get ahead 指出人头地、取得成功，加 in life 就是指这辈子混得如何。
意思是「别装了、收起那套」，act 在这里指装出来的样子。想让对方别演了，就可以说 drop the act。
意思是「把某人吓坏」，也可以说 freak out，表示自己吓坏了。片里艾莉森被查德吓到，就说 You totally freaked me out。
