12. ?
-I'm a freak show. I have busted, like, every bone in my body, stabbed myself in the chest, I've shoved a two-foot steel rod through my neck, and l don't have a scratch on me.
- What do you call that thing sticking out?
——freak show，興起于1840年到1940年的美國，主要是嘉年華一類的娛樂活動中展出奇怪的表演，例如兩個頭的牛，一只眼睛的豬等等。這里，她 bust(ruin completely) every bone, stab(刺傷，用刀等捅) herself in the chest, shove a two-foot steel rod through her neck（把一個兩腳鋼桿穿過脖子）, but with no scratch on her看起來就很像這種表演。
——stick out 突出，這里指她的肋骨戳穿了身體突出來了。這句話其實有點幽默，既然她說你從未受過傷，那從你身體里突出來的東西你管它叫什么？

13. I gotta get this out of the press. I gotta make sure this stays buried.——阻止該消息被出版，讓它銷聲匿跡。

14. Alpha Dogs —— The Americans Who Turned Political Spin into a Global Business，這里用來指那父子倆對權(quán)利的野心。

-Maybe I'll shoplift my socks. ——拿偷襪子的事情挖苦她。shoplifting 入店行竊
-Don't get smart.When you put everyone else first, you end up last. You always put Nathan first. He took advantage.——get smart with對人無力，貧嘴，耍小聰明/這里母親講述她個人對先人后己的理解。

-He takes up more space than you，demanded more attention. And besides, it's not my fault you allowed it.
-He's my brother. I love him.
-Love is overrated. ——overrate高估，這里是說愛往往使人高估了對方的價值，overrated正如同concerned這類動詞的過去分詞，是表示具有某種性質(zhì)，而非被怎么了，即concerned 是關(guān)心別人的，而不是被考慮到的意思；然而unharmed這樣的動詞過去分詞，則不表示性質(zhì)，而表示被動意義，即unharmed是不受傷害的意思，不是指無害的。
-And he loves me too. I know it. We've always been close.
-Rose-colored glasses.——look through rose-colored glasses，樂觀看待事物, 這里省略了動詞，是母親教育兒子不要太天真。

18.It's just two weeks overdue.——overdue過期的，指過期了兩周。

19.He sent some mouth breather.——mouth breather原指由于病理只能用嘴呼吸的人，因此他們看起來遲鈍又龐大。由于用嘴呼吸常常被認(rèn)為是不衛(wèi)生也不禮貌的，所以用嘴呼吸的人也被認(rèn)為是無禮又無知的。這里指武夫，只知道用武力解決問題的人。

20.You need to come up with that 30 grand, plus interest now. Or you gotta run.——grand一千美元/ Interest利息/ come up with 出了想出還有提出交出的意思

23.You can't go cold turkey, not alone. I mean, let me help you, please.——go Dutch由于對荷蘭人的持有小氣的偏見，所以用去荷蘭表示各自付賬或者均攤費(fèi)用；而go cold turkey 不是指去土耳其，而是說放棄長久的不健康習(xí)慣，比如吸煙吸毒等。
