从《绝望的主妇》的对白学英语

Now and then we all need a little help, so we askfor small favors. But it' s always best to be wary of those eager tocome to our rescue. Because even the smallest of favors carries a pricetag. Yes, everyone has an agenda, no matter what they may tell us...andin those rare instances where there is no ulterior motive, we're sotaking aback that we may fail to recognize the truth - th at a lovingfriend has just done us an enormous favor。

偶尔我们总会需要帮助，所以我们请别人帮点小忙。不过对那些急切想拯救我们的人最好要带着一颗机警的心。因为哪怕是最小的恩惠都是有价格的。是的，每个人心里都有一本帐，不管他们告诉我们什么。别有用心的人太多了，像好朋友帮了大忙这样的情况真是少之又少。我们过分的警觉导致我们失去了对真相的判断力。
