She is a quiet woman but her passion shines through in her music. "at Murrayfield his talent shone through". His wife work in a strip club? That's not for his wife or his family for that matter, his family is too good for that! That's Marty's upper middle class snobbery shining through 作怪. This goes toward the all around internal prejudice against the Langmore's and the poor. Why can't Ruth run a strip joint? From the moment of her introduction, she's been portrayed as smart as hell and the pity of Ruth is that if she was born into a family with a smidge of money and decency, she'd be encouraged to try for a better life. Worse, she knows it, and wants that better life for Wyatt. the elements of something 基础知识, 基本知识 the first and most basic things that you learn about a subject. a two-day course on the elements of design. be in your element to feel very happy and comfortable in a situation.

II. wind, rain, and the other forces of nature that make the weather. 2. Thus far I feel like the sociopathic FBI agent is not one of the better elements. One element that I like, one that separates this show from Breaking Bad for me is that both Bateman and Linney are playing people who are devoted and engaged parents. Whatever caused the chill 吓一身冷汗 to descend in their own relationship, they have the most civil crumbling marriage 逐渐崩溃的, 逐渐粉碎的 ever and I love that whenever it involves their children, they move into a partners-in-parenting mode. I'm OK with a few out there moments 讲不通的, 不合逻辑的, but if it is completely irrational what's the point. 3. too many balls in the air 穷于应付的, 应付不来的, 太多事情需要处理的, 太多头绪 Too many things happening or competing for one's attention at the same time.

I was pretty certain that Grace tried to talk some sense into Mason by pointing out that God hadn't saved him previously from the gunshot, that the shooter just had lousy aim( the robber was a horrible shot ). She wasn't thrilled to 不愿意, 不喜欢, 不想, 不高兴 be in league with drug dealers but she didn't want Mason to die over saying no to preaching on the water. And he did go out onto the water and preached until his conscience got the better of him and he quit before the heroin distribution part of the services took place. Grace was the one who wanted Mason to continue preaching, the slap in the face 打脸的是 to Mason is that his pride in being against crime is what got his lovely wife slaughtered.

It is most often applied to debate techniques that involve fallacies, misdirection and the glossing over of details. It is also used academically to indicate unproven claims and skipped steps in proofs (sometimes intentionally, especially in instructional materials), with some specific meanings in particular fields, including literary criticism and speculative fiction, mathematics and logic, and science and engineering. The term can additionally be used in work situations, when attempts are made to display productivity or assure accountability without actually resulting in them. The term can also be used as a self-admission of, and suggestion to defer discussion about, an allegedly unimportant weakness in one's own argument's evidence, to forestall an opponent dwelling on it. In debate competition, certain cases of this form of hand-waving may be explicitly permitted. Hand-waving is an idiomatic metaphor, derived in part from the use of excessive gesticulation, perceived as unproductive, distracting or nervous, in communication or other effort. The term also evokes the sleight-of-hand distraction techniques of stage magic, and suggests that the speaker or writer seems to believe that if they, figuratively speaking, simply wave their hands, no one will notice or speak up about the holes in the reasoning. This implication of misleading intent has been reinforced by the pop-culture influence of the Star Wars franchise, in which mystically powerful hand-waving is fictionally used for mind control, and some uses of the term in public discourse are explicit Star Wars references. Actual hand-waving motions may be used either by a speaker to indicate a desire to avoid going into details, or by critics to indicate that they believe the proponent of an argument is engaging in a verbal hand-wave inappropriately. 7. She's been shaping up to be a real force. The creative decision to get the whole family "in on it" was a smart move because it opens up a lot more for her than to just be "wife keeping secrets". I'm of course very much rooting for the Byrds to get away with it, so I hope they find a way to foil the FBI investigation. I'm just not seeing Rachel as a strong CI (criminal informants). Ugh - if I hear the dad spew the "you're a Langmore" nonsense one more time. I love the kids plotting and scheming.

They kept me on to manage what's left of this division, but to be honest, I've just been spinning my wheels here for the last couple of years. We haven't been able to do anything new until more funding comes in, so the project is just spinning its wheels for the moment. I'd be spinning wheels to 一而再再而三的尝试 eliminate the Snells. Even if it's something that takes a few years to come to fruition. 8. I'm not a fan of hunters, hunting season, and hunting scenes. Wendy was weak-willed 轻易屈服, 没有坚持 when it came to her son going inside the house and not out hunting. I know they had to further the story, but...

You can cancel it during the prescribed period, without charge. The level of toxic chemicals was within the prescribed 规定的 limits.) on one of our fields. If you farmed, you'd know. In the middle of the night? Because I think you're hiding something. I think you're trying to destroy evidence out here. 2. exhaustive 详尽的 If you describe a study, search, or list as exhaustive, you mean that it is very thorough and complete. This is not an exhaustive list but it shows how many projects are taking place. The author's treatment of the subject is exhaustive.

So, I've made an exhaustive list of Missouri adoption agencies. 3. I need you to meet me somewhere, in town. What, now? Why? Behind the movie theater, that lot? What the fuck's going on, Marty? Ruth, meet me. No. I'm staying put. Fine, don't move. I'm gonna be right there. Marty, they will kill her. Why did you hesitate? She tried to kill me. What? Ruth tried to kill me. Bruce turned on me. You cheated on me. Maybe I'm not the best judge of character 不会看人. 4. I gotta do something about those poppy fields. Snells? Mm-hmm. What are you gonna do? I don't know. I'm tired of playing monkey ( Keep Away, also called Monkey in the Middle, Piggy in the Middle, Pickle in a Dish, or Pickle in the Middle, or Monkey, is a children's game in which two or more players must pass a ball to one another, while a player in the middle attempts to intercept it.

The game is played worldwide. ) in the middle, though. Yeah, well, that's because you're trying to please everybody, and it's not goddamn possible. You gotta act. And let everybody else react. 5. You want us to destroy that field? Yes, today. Mm-hmm. Then you keep paying us for our product. You want us to keep paying you for heroin that you're not delivering? Mm-hmm. Otherwise, we'll just take our chances. I'm spending way too many billable hours arguing with these rednecks. I'd use a different word if I were you. I hate this place. Those sheets at the Ramada? Ugh. Like sandpaper, and I miss my kids. 6. I've got you, Marty. It's over. The cartel knows where you are. They're waiting to just kill you. But here, it's safe. Your family is safe. Agents are at the house right now, ready to take Wendy and the kids right into protective custody. Life, so they say, is but a game. And they let it slip away if I were you, I'd just really think it through, because we may never pass this way again 再也不会从这过儿了, 再也不会来这里了 (歌词: I will pass this way but once if there's any good that I can do. Let me do it now for I'll never pass this way again. I will see this day but once if there's any kindness I can show. Let me show it now for I'll never see this day again ). 7. Now this takes me way back. Hey, what? You're choking the life out of the steering wheel. Come on. We got the job done. Let's enjoy it. Ow! You okay? Yeah. Buddy, you all right? You sure you're okay? Never better. Whoa! You know, I saw these guys at the Fox Theater, in Detroit, in '65. God damn, that was some show. Hmm. Do you miss it? Your life back in Detroit? Sometimes. Hmm. You know, that city was in its prime. It was vibrant. And it really had soul. Hmm. Yeah, I always thought I'd make my way back. Hmm. Maybe you will. Yeah. Promise me, when you get that casino up and running, you're gonna get the hell out of here. 8. Let's just cut straight to it, shall we? And bring your attorney up to speed here. The fact is, Marty, you are really good at creating corporate structures. But the problem is, you lack people skills. Misjudgment of character 看错人. I mean, it's your Achilles' heel. I mean, I don't wanna talk out of school here( = tell tales out of school 八卦, 说小道消息 To reveal confidential or sensitive information; to gossip. ), but Just look at your track record, you know? Hmm? Oh, Bruce Liddell, your longtime business partner and friend. He became an informant for us. I mean, he turned on you, buddy I mean, like that. That has to hurt. And now your daughter, she takes five grand of cartel money, stashes it away in a lunch box reeking of pot, by the way I'm sure you know how the cartel reacts when the value of an operative plummets. Or if their loyalty's ever in question. Do you think you're safe? Your poor kids, Marty. They were so scared this morning, but not surprised, because they're complicit. And they're starting to crack. You know it. I'm sure you also know that we try kids as adults all the time now. Will you be charging my client? If not, we've heard enough. Your bosses, they need to trust you to keep this all together so it doesn't all topple over. We both know that if you could substantiate those charges, you would have arrested her. I know Ruth wired the dock because I unwired it. You were never supposed to walk out of the boathouse that day. And if you don't believe me, ask your son. Ask Jonah. Jonah was there. In fact, he pulled a rifle on me, right on your own lawn. Look, Marty, you're under no obligation to use the cartel's attorney. 9. There was a French writer, long time ago I can't remember his name. Well, I can't remember anybody's name. Anyway, he was old for those days and very sick, lungs and ticker all going, and he was stuck in bed. Now, this guy's a loner all his life. But he tells the lady taking care of him that he wants to see his friends, say goodbye. So she sends out word, and all his friends come to his little hovel, gather around his deathbed, telling stories. And you know what happens? What happens? He doesn't die. And then after a couple days, the friends, well, they leave. They have lives. And then he dies. Sad, but sweet. Because, when you think you're gonna die yesterday, today is sweet. So, hang in, Wendy. Lose your shit tomorrow. Today's no day to fall apart. 10. But the money's tied up 死期的, 订死了, Charlotte. It's safe, running interest. Wally was born near Linn. Lost both his parents. Fell on hard times(fall on hard times 经历困难 To experience a difficult period, especially financially. to lose your money and start to have a difficult life. To go through a very difficult period of time, especially due to financial hardship. We fell on hard times after my wife's restaurant closed down, so I had to take on a second job to make ends meet. The government paints a picture of this rosy economic recovery, but there are still countless families falling on hard times. The scheme is designed to help kids whose parents have fallen on hard times.), but righted himself a little, didn't you? Why you bringing some kid into our kitchen? He's a foster child, and I thought that if he likes us and we like him, then maybe he might be Our heir? No, I want a baby boy, someone we can mold. We're gonna try this boy out, Darlene. So, please keep an open mind, please? 11. Am I interrupting something? You're interrupting nothing. FBI is all over Marty Byrde. He had a dozen men to his house. Took him in for questioning. I know all about it. Well, you need to know something else. These feds. They're not messing around. And they don't care much for local law enforcement. What are you saying? I'm saying that if the feds decide to come around here, there's not much I can do. May I remind you of your debt to us? That's why I'm here. But, like I said, I can't I'd offer you coffee, but I just rinsed the pot. I'll be on my way, then. 12. Who's Ruth Langmore? We work together closely. She's very valuable. She's smart. I shouldn't need to tell you this, but if we get any indication that your loyalty isn't solid 坚不可摧的, arrangements will be made. Do you understand that? Yeah, I understand that. Okay, so tell me about your computers. What are they likely to find on them? If they found anything, I wouldn't be sitting here. Do you know that for a fact? You know, I'd appreciate it if you didn't treat me like a child. Speaking of, what about the money on your daughter's shelf? Is that my client's money? It is not. How much do they know, your son and daughter, about everything? They don't know anything. Well, as a parent, I find that implausible 不可能的, 不可信的, 胡说八道的, 胡话(If you describe something as implausible, you believe that it is unlikely to be true. I had to admit it sounded like an implausible excuse. It seems implausible that the projects would have gone ahead without her backing. They are, rather implausibly, close friends.). Kids see things. They hear things. What do your kids know? This isn't about my kids. They know that I'm opening a casino. They think the raid is connected to that. Are you lying to protect them or yourself? Your son pulled a gun on a federal agent, Marty. Pull over. 13. The FBI sent half its Midwest dipshits ( a very stupid or unpleasant person. How can you leave me for that dipshit! that dipshit son of hers. ) to our little hamlet, so I'd say we have a problem with their crop of opium poppies. Do you agree? I agree. I have a source at the US Attorney's office. I can see if there's a warrant pulled. Because if the FBI find our poppies, then our casino is dead. And if our casino is dead Arrangements will have to be made. I wish you'd stop saying that. Well, I really wish I didn't have to. I'm loyal to you. I've been loyal to you for years, to a fault. If you have reason to suspect otherwise, I'd like to hear about it. 14. Your friend Wilkes, he funds that orphanage, doesn't he? Uh-huh. You think he could help me and Jacob find a baby? I'm sorry. A child, Wendy, a baby boy. We'd take more kindly to destroying our field if you could get us a baby. We've done a lot of things, Marty, things that we said we would never do. But I am sorry. I am not gonna help that woman get a baby. I would get them quadruplets if they would plow that field. 15. I am so sorry that Grace is gone. There is nothing we can do to bring her back, but you can still help your son. Call the sheriff. Tell him you don't plan to bring the baby in to test for Grace's DNA. Why would I do that? Because you know the Snells. You know what they're capable of 什么都干得出来. They'll do anything they can to stop that test. Grace would still be alive if it wasn't for you and Marty. If I hadn't invited you into my home, if you hadn't fed me lies about your father helping build a church and the depth of your faith. That wasn't a lie. You think coming here is gonna absolve you? That blood is never washing off. I'm gonna see to that. I want you to remember what happened to you the last time you didn't listen to reason. Please, I am begging you. Smarten up. Save yourself. Save your son. Don't come back to the lake. 16. Is this how you run a business? You take people's money and flake? Oh, crap. Look, I'm so sorry. We, uh, had a death in the family. What the fuck's that? It's your money back. I'm failing that class because of you, dipshit. And I'll give you 50% discount on the next one. That's fragile. Just stay the fuck out of it, burnout. Oh, yeah! Hey, hey! Break it up 别打了. 17. We don't need to make a big deal of this. Oh, yeah? Jonah is laundering money under his second identity. Charlotte is stealing drug cartel cash and telling secrets to Wyatt Langmore, who, incidentally, thinks that you killed his dad. So, you know, I think, even for us, we need to make a big fucking deal about this. I don't need a recap 不需要你告诉再我一遍, either, okay? This is just a moment, and we're gonna get out of it. We need six months, and then we're free, Wendy. 18. What happened to Ruth Langmore? You don't just show up here without any warning. This isn't a partnership. I don't talk about my work with you. She has bruises up and down her arms. Did you do that to her? Ruth Langmore is a petty thief helping to launder money for a Mexican drug cartel. So it's a miracle she's not gutted in a ditch somewhere. I want to talk to your boss. I want it in writing that 书面保证 I get a plea deal when this is over. There is no written agreement. Besides, no one knows who you are, and that's for your own safety. You only get a plea deal when you deliver something useful. I got you a search warrant. Yeah, which so far is doing nothing. Well, that's not my fucking problem. Maybe if you hadn't outed me to Marty Byrde Maybe if you hadn't forced my hand Maybe if you could hold a fucking conversation with him without being loaded. I did everything I was supposed to do. You can't keep doing this to me. Doing this to you? Christ, why is it that criminals are always so indignant [+ at/about] 气愤不已的, 义愤填膺的, 愤慨的, 愤愤不平的( If you are indignant, you are shocked and angry, because you think that something is unjust or unfair. He is indignant at suggestions that they were secret agents. MPs were indignant that the government had not consulted them. Sheena gave her an indignant look. 'That is not true,' Erica said indignantly.)? I'm not a criminal. Yeah? Then why are you in this mess, huh? Why are you standing here, in some strange gay guy's $40 motel room, whining like a grade school brat who just flunked her test and swears it's everyone else's fault but her own? 18. Jesus wanted me to tell you that just because you go to church, just because you dress in your Sunday best, does not mean that he smiles down on you. Christ wants you to know also that false piety ( [ˈpaɪəti] I. [uncountable] strong religious belief and behavior. Piety is strong religious belief, or behaviour that is religious or morally correct. II. pieties. [plural] statements that are morally right but not sincere.) is the greatest of all sins, because false piety is fakery. Excuse me. Do you have a permit ( residential permit 停车证. A residence permit 居民证 (less commonly residency permit) is a document or card required in some regions, allowing a foreign national to reside in a country for a fixed or indefinite length of time. These may be permits for temporary residency, or permanent residency. The exact rules vary between regions. In some cases (e.g. the UK ) a temporary residence permit is required to extend a stay past some threshold, and can be an intermediate step to applying for permanent residency. Residency status may be granted for a number of reasons and the criteria for acceptance as a resident may change over time. In New Zealand the current range of conditions include being a skilled migrant, a retired parent of a New Zealand National, an investor and a number of others.) to be out here? A permit? Why would I need a permit to exercise my freedom of speech on behalf of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? That what it is? Yes. Calling all these Christians fakers? I'm not calling them all fakers. We received a child endangerment report about a preacher out here, with a baby, in the cold, seven, eight hours a day. Now, I think that report's true. 19. When we first met, I actually didn't know what to make of Jimmy Small, whom we called Buddy. We were roommates, but we didn't get off to a particularly smooth start. See, Buddy liked to skinny-dip. In fact, the first morning that my husband and I woke up in the Ozarks, we we looked out over the vastness of the lake, and there was Buddy, buck naked, staring back at us. But we we got to know him. And love him. He saved our family. In ways I can't explain, he literally saved us. And he was the man who I wanted to have a drink with at the end of a bad day. We weren't related, but he was family. 20. You know, when the power company dammed up our land, our family's remains had to be moved out of harm's way. So, I guess I should thank you for helping us find them. That said, you'll be hearing from our lawyer about the civil suit we're bringing against the FBI for desecrating 亵渎 our graves. 21. Oh, I know that it pisses off Wendy, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. You know, I'm trying to keep everything from unraveling 分崩离析. And if I let myself get emotional. Maybe you could say exactly that. It's not that easy. You know, when Charlotte was born do you know what my first thought was? Hmm? It's not okay to die. The most joyful day of my life, and I'm hit with that crushing realization that I'm the last line of defense 最后防线, you know, against anything. I mean, no one can live up to that standard not even Marty Byrde.
