Betty: Good thing I just took a leak, or this could have gotten really ugly.

口语句型：Good thing that+从句。

Ps：此句型表示“事情好在......幸运的是......”，表示出一种幸运的意味。例如：

Good thing that you have finished with that worthless young man. 你同那个不值得结交的青年脱离关系是件好事。

Good thing that you broke up with your husband. 好在你和你的丈夫离了婚。

短语注释：take a leak的意思是“小便，上厕所”。例如：

Can we stop at the next gas station? I need to take a leak. 我们可以在下-个加油站停一下车吗？我要上一下厕所。

Pull over. I've got to take a leak. 停到路旁去好吗？我要撒尿。

文法解析：or this could have gotten really ugly这个分句使用了虚拟语气。是情态动词can的虚拟语气用法，could have done表示“在过去的时间里本可以做到的事情但是没有做到”。例如：

I could have done better if I had been more careful. 如果我再仔细一点，我可能还考得好一些。

此外，与之相关的一个短语可以表示“让开，让出道路”的意思。它是：move out of way。和get out of way意思相同。例如：

Bicycle bells rang all the way to warn pedestrians to move out of their way. 自行车铃声一路响着，警告行人让路。

He left home two weeks ago and we haven't heard from him since. 他两星期以前离开了家, 到现在我们一直没有他的消息。

短语注释：pay rent是付租金的意思，back rent是指“滞纳租金”，pay back rent就是“付滞纳租金”。
