Hello，这里是地道英语，我是W！今天这个视频来自Desperate Housewives的第一季第10集。Julie把Zachary藏在自己家里，终于还是被她妈妈Susan发现了。把Zachary送走之后，晚上Susan决定来找Julie谈一谈。没想到女儿反过来指责她，这些年来母亲和女儿的位置一直是颠倒的。带孩子从来不是一件简单的事情，Susan是应该反思一下了呢。快来跟W一起看看里面地道的英语表达吧！

知识点：
【1】you're mad at me：你生我的气。mad这个词在Susan和Julie的口中出现频率太别的高，我就不一一列举了。最近的听美剧学英语37期：What's wrong with now? 现在不行吗？
【2】you turned him in：你出卖了他。在《一分钟英语口语184期》中Gabrielle以为Helen告发她，警察是来抓她的，她说的就是 She turned me in。
【3】 someone had to be responsible：总要有人负责。responsible是形容词，负责的。听美剧学英语26期：He has every right to be angry中Rex对Bree说： All I'm saying, is that we need to take some of the responsibility here. responsibility是名词，责任。
【4】I've got a birth certificate that says I'm your mother. 这句话中需要注意的是say这个词，在这里是“表明”的意思。
【5】I was in bad shape back then：我那时情况很糟糕。在听美剧学英语35期：It's just sex, it's totally harmless中Susan形容自己当时的状况用的说法是：you saw what a basket case I was 意思相同
【6】Zach's the one who's in trouble 看到这句话想到了 Zach is a troubled young man. 这句话以前同样出现过好多次了。可怜的Zach总是跟各种trouble有关。
