欧文版绝望的主妇学习笔记：第一季第一集全
从最初邂逅《绝望的主妇》到如今真正想看动笔写这部剧的学习笔记，掐指一算刚好过去了12年，整整一个生肖轮回啊！从年富力强的阳光小伙，到如今略显油腻的中年大叔，从当初与老外交流时诚惶诚恐，沟通全靠三板斧：
Pardon? I’m sorry, my English is poor.
到如今带来一帮志趣相投、同样爱好《绝望主妇》的朋友组队学习，全程用英语交流、侃侃而谈，这部剧教会我的不仅仅是英语，还有对西方文化的深刻理解，对平凡人生的反讽与释然。如果说《越狱》是我入坑美剧的领路人，那么《绝望的主妇》这部剧则我英语学习的里程牌。为此，我们在今后的日子里，认真记录关于这部剧学习中的学习收获和点滴心得。第一季第一集学习笔记开工了！
