My name is Mary Alice Young. In this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life, but that all changed last Thursday. Of course, everything seemed quite normal at first. I made breakfast for my family. I performed my chores. I completed my projects. I ran my errands. In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other day, quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection. That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet and retrieve a revolver that had never been used. My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Huber, who'd been startled by a strange popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me six months before. [Screeams] It's my neeighbor. I think shee's beeeen shot. Theeree's blood eeveerywheeree. Yees, you'vee got to seend an ambulancee. You'vee got to seend onee right now. And, for a moment, Mrs. Huber stood motionless in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy. But only for a moment. If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side. I was laid to rest on a Monday. After the funeral, all the residents of Wisteria Lane came to pay their respects. And, as people do in these situations, they brought food. Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken. Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken. She didn't cook much while moving up the corporate ladder. She didn't have the time. But when her doctor announced she was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea. "Why not quit yourjob?" "Kids do better with stay-at-home moms. It would be so much less stressful. " But this was not the case. In fact, Lynette's life had become so hectic she was now forced to get her chicken from the fast-food restaurant. Lynette would've appreciated the irony if she'd thought about it. But she didn't have the time. - Stop it, stop it, stop it.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/fa2014845.html,e across 碰到遇见-When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. 2. seem as normal看起来正常-Normally, there's never anything newsworthyabout my life. That all changed last Thursday. Of course everything seemed as normal at first. 3. chore 零工，而household chores 可指家务劳动- I performed my chores. 4. errand 任务使命- I ran my errands. 5. in truth 事实上，不仅要会用actually, as a matter of fact,还要会用in truth， 它们语意相近，但是之间存在一些语感上的微妙差异，请试着去体会。-In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day. 6. In truth, I spent the day as I spend every other day -quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection.这部美剧的旁白具有很好的文学鉴赏价值，而本句就是这种文学色彩的代表句之一。Polish愿意为打磨，擦亮，推敲，润色，那么打磨常规的生活，就是指，不断重复过着例行公事的生活，借以把生活润色 得完美。全句的意思则是，不断重复这例行公事的生活，直到生活闪现出完美那一刻。 而直到完美之前都在例行公事般的生活，那么这个达到完美状态的时刻，就暗示了她自 杀这件不平凡的事情的到来。 7. arouse唤醒引起-Her curiosity aroused. 当旁白说道自杀者的尸体被邻居发现的 同时，镜头正好对准发现尸体的邻居吃东西的画面。而她吃的东西，是用手指从木质吧 台上蘸了的一点红色酱汁，很容易让人误解为她在从地板上蘸了鲜血来吃，编剧和导演 的用心可谓良苦，总是利用这种雷人的玩笑增加影片的行为艺术效果。 8. drop in on sb unannounced 不请自来。Unannounced是副词，用来表明探访 某人而事先未通知对方。-Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me 6 months before. 语法上的一个注意点是，she had borrowed 是过去完成时态的从句，用来修饰名词blender, 所以时间上要用before 而不是ago。 为什么她犹豫了片刻？因为不请自来是很不礼貌的，也是经常会令人感到尴尬的。除非 她能够想出一个探访的好理由，这样的理由要具备两个条件，一是要有必要性，就是说 理由很充分；二是妥协性，即假如无法探访对方，也没有什么不妥。所以她选择了归还 绞肉机作为探访的理由。接下来你会发现为什么这个理由符合这两点条件。 9. 一系列描述人由于震惊或悲痛而神情恍惚的表达,motionless静止的； grief-stricken极度忧伤的，在下边的例句中是做过去分词使用；tragedy 悲剧-And for a moment, Mrs. Huber stood motionless in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy. But, only for a moment.If there was one thing Mrs.
