These days, with the ruckus and chaos raging on in this country and the cold-war brewing from the outside world, I share the comedown and depression, fearing that we’re already desperate enough, we need to be cured from head to toe, So we need a change of heart, therefore, I’m planning to suspend the Desperate Housewives saga for a while, and provide you guys with something refreshing, something inviting and something lightens the heart and comforts the soul.

影视导读：说起奥黛丽•赫本 ，很多人就想起经典的《罗马假日》，其实《蒂凡尼的早餐》才是赫本所有影片中上座率最高的一部。该片中，赫本将一个既肉感又纯真的高级伴游女郎扮演得丝丝入扣，影片的主题曲《月亮河》赢得奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖，而赫本坐在防火梯上弹着吉他缓缓吟唱这首歌的镜头，成为电影史上最令人难以忘怀的一幕。
剧情简介：清晨的纽约街头，相貌清丽的女子霍莉（奥黛丽·赫本 Audrey Hepburn饰）在橱窗前徜徉，她就是纽约上流社会的交际花。对金钱和物质的崇拜，同时却不失天真善良的霍莉，就像是纽约的“茶花女”，靠着每小时五十、一百的费用来获得交际收入。在她心里，还有一个重要的目标，那就是嫁得金龟婿。
霍莉的新邻居是一个作家保罗（乔治·佩帕德 George Peppard饰），梦想着成名，却也是依靠富太太的供给度日。遇见霍莉的保罗堕入情网，千方百计让霍莉过回正常生活，并向她求婚。然而，霍莉似乎并不愿意，在她心中，嫁给这么一个人，放弃她之前的努力，未免太不值。然而，霍莉在寻找幸福路上跌跌撞撞，直到有一天才突然明白了幸福的含义。

A vice squad is a police division which focuses on moral crimes like gambling, narcotics [nɑː’kɒtɪks]（麻醉毒品；麻醉剂）, pornography, the sex trade, and illegal sales of alcohol, in contrast with crimes like fraud, murder, and so forth. Vice squads can be found in many urban areas, where a high incidence of such crimes makes a dedicated squad necessary, and sometimes smaller police departments will form temporary vice task forces to deal with rising rates of such crimes. The size of these squads can vary widely, depending on the size of the department and the amount of coverage required. （注：Vice这个词作为名词用时，指恶癖，恶习，不道德行为）
Things like gambling, pornography, and alcohol are not necessarily inherently illegal, but they are closely regulated. Vice squads are charged with investigating situations in which the line into illegality may be crossed, such as pornography with underaged performers, illegal gambling operations, and the sale of alcohol to minors. In some cases, an officer may be sent undercover to investigate the situation, as these moral crimes are notoriously difficult to track down and prosecute; undercover officers may work for weeks, months, or even years to build a case.
Strict laws prohibit the sale of narcotics and participation in the sex trade in many regions of the world, making it easier to identify criminals. In some regions, both of these crimes are extremely common, and vice squads may feel like they are repeating themselves with series of raids, arrests, and prosecutions. The use of undercover officers is also common, with members posing as prostitutes or drug buyers to ensnare people who participate in these illegal activities.
Sometimes, the members of a vice unit work largely without supervision, with precinct administrators allowing the vice squad to have free rein. This can be dangerous at times, as vice squads may be vulnerable to corruption, especially when less experienced officers are involved. A great deal of money changes hands in the course of the commission of the vice crimes, and many criminals are happy to send some of that money in the direction of the vice squad with the understanding that the officers will look the other way.
The operations of the vice squad are also of great interest to some ordinary citizens. Television shows like Miami Vice have popularized the activities of these officers, making it seem like they are out on the streets undercover every night. In fact, as in other police divisions, members of the vice squad spend a lot of time in the office doing paperwork, waiting around for informants, or lying in wait fruitlessly at various criminal hot spots.

if you take up sth such as a task or a story, you begin doing it after it has been interrupted or after someone else has begun it. （接手某事）
注：英语最难理解的就是省略，解决这个难题除了要练就丰富的知识储备，还需要心思缜密的钻研和揣，站在一个更高的格局以调整自己的视野来看待和解决问题。
64–I don’t even want to own anything 在找到能够与周边的和谐共处的地方之前
65–until I find a place where me and things go together. 我不想拥有什么
66–I’m not sure where that is, but I know what it’s like. 我不知道它在哪儿 但我知道它是什么模样
67–It’s like Tiffany’s. 就像蒂凡尼
注：很多人会在纷乱之余为自己置留一片净士，以便“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”，也有很多人会在内心深处为孤独设想一个完美的陪伴，或许是某个让自己百看不厌的异性、或许是某个让内心满足安宁的物什，又或者是某个让自己轻松愉悦和激情澎湃的意境。显然，这个Miss Golightly属于后者，电影用最写意的画面和简单的文字诠释了浑然天成的唯美主义和理想主义，让人们对“Tiffiny”这个地方心驰神往。
68–Tiffany’s? You mean the jewelry store? 蒂凡尼 你说那蒂凡尼珠宝店
69–That’s right.对了
70–I’m crazy about Tiffany’s. 我很喜欢蒂凡尼
71–Listen. 听着

79—Do you ever get that feeling? -Sure. – 你有过这种感觉吗 – 有过
80–Well, when I get it, the only thing that does any good 每当我心绪不宁时 我便乘计程车到蒂凡尼去
81–is to jump into a cab and go to Tiffany’s. 这是唯一有效的方法
82–Calms me down right away. 它能令我即时心安下来
注：Mean reds 不同于 malaise + anxiety [mə’leɪz] ：莫名的不安 + 难以形容的焦郁 indefinable fear，比如年青人，尤其是大学生在象牙塔里呆了二年，感觉并没有学到一技傍身，并没有准备好面对社会，与能不能顺利拿到毕业证无关，他们会对这个的复杂的社会产生一种莫后的恐惧。再比如中年人，当你没有十足的把握时，你会对能不能轻松扛起肩上的重任、能不能绝对享有婚姻的忠诚、能不能保持健康强健的体魄有一种言状的害怕。在《绝望的主妇》第一季第三集的结尾处有这样一段话：
Narrator: Yes, I remember the world, every detail. 没错 我记得这个世界 每一个细节
——>> And what I remember most is how afraid I was. 而我记得最清楚的 是我曾经多么恐惧
——>> What a waste. 还真是浪费！
——>> You see, to live in fear is not to live at all. 恐惧的生活跟死了没什么区别

84–Nothing very bad could happen to you there. 那儿不会发生什么不幸的事
85–If I could find a real-life place 若我能在现实生活中
86–that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then. 找到像蒂凡尼那样的地方
87–Then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name. 那么我会买点家具 还有替猫咪取个名字
88–I’m sorry. You wanted something.对不起 你要找点什么
注：绝望主妇的编剧向观众当头浇出一盆冷水，让人瞬间清醒和振作了起来；而Miss Golightly给出的答复则是找一处踏实自在的地方，让自己的心绪宁静、内心安稳，最近有人在拜读曹德旺的书，他每每遇到人生的重要关口时，都会到石竹山的寺庙求签问求卦。但我想提醒大家，我们不像曹德旺那样有靠山可以指点迷津，也不像Miss Golightly那样可以时不时地浮生偷得半日闲，找个去处放空自己，所以“We all have moments of desperation, if we face them head-on that’s when we find out just how strong we really are. ”
89–The telephone.电话
90–It’s just that I was supposed to meet somebody. 我跟别人有约

99–because I have to be up to catch the 10:45. 因为我要赶十点三刻的火车
100–And they’re so particular about visiting hours. 他们很严守探望的时间

126–Well, they never told me not to tell anyone. 但他们没有吩咐我要保密
127–You must cross your heart and kiss your elbow. 你要发誓保守秘密，要不然的话，你会立马变成女的。
Cross one’s heart：used to stress that one is telling the truth and will do what he or she promises.
Kiss one’s elbow：It’s mostly used by girls to tease boys. “If you kiss your elbow you change into a girl” . The near physical impossibility of kissing your own elbow is one of the more unusual parts of this childhood mythology [mɪ’θɒlədʒi]. According to the legends, a peck to the elbow would bring about an instantaneous [ˌɪnstən’teɪniəs] sex change.
It means to make a promise not to tell something.And then if you do tell you will change your gender right away……
美国流行摇滚乐队魔力红（Maroon 5）近几年来放送了大量在世界范围内流行的爆红单曲，其中一首音乐One More Night 中有这样一句话: I cross my heart and I hope to die，that I’ll only stay with you one more night.
听到这句歌词的时候百思不得其解：这句话到底是什么意思，穿过我的心脏，希望死去？怎么感觉那么黑暗呢！这难道不是一首讲述爱情的歌吗！
认真查了才知道，其实这是一句俚语，和我理解的大相径庭。不只是Maroon 5，梦龙乐队、英国死核乐队、小甜甜布莱尼、霍尔西、麦当娜，猫王都曾经在作品中用过这句话，所以可以算是一个不太冷门的俚语哦~
其实 cross my heart 和 hope to die 这两句话都有“承诺”的意思，cross my heart 的起源为基督教人们发誓的时候，会在胸前画十字；而 hope to die 并没有希望任何人死的意思，可以理解为“我以死起誓”。这两句话放在一起，可想而知这个承诺的重要性了~
据说这个短语从1908年就开始使用了，至今不仅没被淘汰，还被写进了流行歌里，在英语国家中，仍十分通用。
在绝望的主妇里面也有类似的习语表达：“So help me （God），原意指对天发誓。”
And if any of you acts up, so help me, I will call Santa and I will tell him you want socks for Christmas.
The phrase “So help me God” is prescribed in oaths as early as the Judiciary Act of 1789, for U.S. officers other than the President. The act makes the semantic distinction between an affirmation and an oath. The oath, religious in essence, includes the phrase “so help me God” and “[I] swear”.
128–I’ll try. 好的
129–You probably read about him. His name’s Sally Tomato. 你也许听说过他的消息 他是沙利.特梅托
130–Sally Tomato? 沙利.特梅托
131–Well, don’t look so shocked. 别那样震惊
132–They could never prove for a second 没人能证明他是黑手党
133–that he was even part of the Mafia [‘mæfiə] , much less head of it, my dear. 更遑论（谈不上）他是黑手党首领 亲爱的
134–The only thing they did prove was that he cheated his income tax a little. 他只是隐瞒入息税而已
135–Anyway, all I know is that he’s a darling old man. 我只知道他是个可爱的老头子
136–Oh, he was never my lover or anything like that. 他不是我的情人
137–In fact, I never knew him until after he was in prison. 事实上 他坐牢后我才认识他
