3. Tom:Oh,it's nothing.There's just a small chance of sterility if a grown man gets chicken pox,so...
sterility: 不能生育,有这一说么?成年男子得了水痘后就会丧失生育能力?要问问学医的了。
4. Tom:Well,honey,it's a back-up plan.I'm not gonna use it.

5. Bree:Oh,you mean your having suspected me of murdering my husband?Detective,that is all water under the bridge now.
water under the bridge简单又好用的一个词组,大家一定要学会用。We say "water under the bridge" to refer to past experiences and conflicts which we have decided to forget. This idiom compares these memories of the past to water which has passing under [the] bridge. Example: "Aren't you still angry about what he said?" Answer: "No, that was a long time ago. It's all water under the bridge."
6. Bree:Oh,oh,I'm fine.I just,um,had a flat tire.
a flat tire:就是轮胎爆了的意思。
7. 结束语Mary Alice Voiceover:Illnesses can take on many forms.Those of the body are easy to treat.Much more difficult are the hidden maladies that fester in our hearts..The secret addictions that consume our souls.And the diseases we deny which affect our judgment.To survive, we need to find that special someone who can heal us. But we can never predict who will have the cure for what ails us....or when they'll show up.
