THE MIDDLE S07E11 - Part 1 더 미들 미드 딕테이션 영어공부


On college campuses across the midwest, January means one thing; Sorority rush. Parties and teas and dressing to impress. 


Sue : Oh! Which one do you like better? The one with the missing strap or the one with the broken heel? I checked on 'Kickinltcollegestyle.com' in the "brush up on rush" section. And they said 'to be casual but memorable. Causuable.

Frankie : I don't know how it works these days, Sue. I haven't been in college for 20 years...

Sue : I just really feel like a sorority is finally gonna be my thing, you know? I mean I've made friends in the dorm but I just don't feel like I've really found my people. Or even my person, really.

Frankike : Well, just remember. If you can get in, that's great, but if you don't get in, that's fine, too. Angelina Jolie was never in a sorority and she married Brad Pitt. Not that marriage is the answer if you don't get into the sorority. Or even if you do, marriage is not the answer, is what I am saying. It's never a solution. Oh, yeah, I like the one on the left.

Axl : Tie

Sue : Ugh, Axl. Can't you do that somewhere else? I'm trying to assemble my rush wardrobe here.

Axl : Ha okay. Here's all you gotta know. The best sororities are the Kappas, Thetas, Alphas and you are not getting in there.

Sue : Oh, Obviously! I'm not even trying for thoese. So please my your mind beeswax.

Axl : Ooh, beeswax minded. Tie.

Mike : Why am I doing this again?

Axl : 'cause next week, when I go back to school and I'll start interviewing for internships and I gotta look like a man. So keep tying.

Frankie : That's great, Axl. What kind of internships are you going for?

Axl : I don't know. I'm in business. So they'll probably have me run some kind of company or something.

Mike : You are not gonna be running a company.

Axl : Yeah, not this knot, I won't. You really phone this one in, dad.

Mike : If you are looking for business experience, I got some for you. You are coming with me to the baby product convention this weekend. Rusty bailed on me, so I need your help with the diaper boxes.

Axl : How much does it pay?

Mike : A lumpy bed and your mom's cooking.


Mike : Where is the table?

Axl : Couldn't find it.

Mike : What..did you go to the car?

Axl : Yeah. I check the truck but there was just a table top, no legs.

Mike : It's a folding table! Didn't you lift it off and see that the legs underneath it? They're attached.

Axl : Well, you didn't say that.

Mike : I said "Go get the folding table."

Axl : I didn't hear you.

Mike : Why do you think I would bring a table with no legs.

Axl : I don't know I thought maybe it was a hovertable or something. Why are you so mad?

Mike : Because you are out there looking for jobs now and Rule number one about having a job is if someone asks you to do something, you do it. That's the kind of guy companies are looking for, not some bozo who doesn't know how to operate a table. Geez! I'm about to fire you and you are my son.

Axl : Please do. I should have known we weren't cool enough for a hovertable.

Someone : Wait, is this what I think it is? Oh my God, it's hilarious. Seriously I can move a lot of these in my store. How about I hit you up on linkedIn?

Mike : Oh, no. That's very flattering but I'm married...

Someone : No, linkedIn is the,,,nevermind.

Mike : Our website is kind of being worked on, right now but real soon, it's gonna be up and running on the world wide web. WWW.

Someone : Okay. Just give me your twitter and I'll follow you.

Mike : The twitter is also being worked on. But you know what? if you write down your information, I can now send you one of my mailers. No worry. I'll stick a self-adressed stamped envelop in there.

Someone : Wow.


So Sue was entering the world of sorority rush but she had her head on straight. She was keeping it all in perspective.


A : So we only have 20 minutes before we move onto the next house, so I just wanna get to know you a bit. Where are you from?

Sue : I'm from Orson.

B : I'm from Carmel.

A : No way, do you know Susie Mcdaniel?

B : No way, she lives on my street.

A : No way, we went to camp together.

Sue : No way!

A : Oh, I love your necklace.

B : Oh, thank you. It's a horseshoe. I've been riding since I was 6.

A : Do you ride horses competitively?

B : Oh, yeah. I've traveled for competitions in Colorado, California... Everywhere really.

Sue : Oh. I've travelded for competitions, too. Not mine. My brother's. It was a spelling bee. Oh, we stayed in a motel in Chicago. Funny story, we got to the room, there was a poop in the toilet. Not our poop. A mystery poop. A real whodunit. Like a murder mystery but with poop.

A : Oh hi, Wendy. I was just talking with Sue and Lexie here. Lexie was telling me how she likes to ride horses and Sue was telling me about poo.


Frankie : What is that? Is that what you are using for a backpack now? Seriously, you lost the pizza bag?

Brick : No, Troy and I were haning out at the mall and I got myself some new pants.

Frankie : You went pants shopping without me?

Brick : I thought you'be happy. You hate taking me shopping.

Frankie : Where did you get that idea? [Come on, Brick! I've been standing out here for 45 minutes! Pick some damn pants!] I am not even working today. I could have taken you shopping.

Brick : No, it was great. I finally got to try on jeans in the men's dressing room. Plus you always buy me the same ones. These are dark wash. [Dark wash]

Frankie : You never said you had a wash preference. Hello?

오랜만에 딕테이션을 했다. 10화 크리스마스 에피소드도 아직 제대로 쉐도잉을 잘 못하고 있지만 이걸 하면서 동력을 얻어 같이 열심히 해보자. 일단 시즌7 22화까지는 꼭 해야하니까 이번주 안으로 11에피소드를 끝내야하는데 남은 3일을 다 딕테이션해야되네...이틀에 다 끝내볼까..근데 5분도 50분씩 걸리고 틀린거 복습하는데 50분 걸리니 자신이 없네. 


그치만 정말 인터넷 서핑같은 가치없는 곳에 시간을 쓰지 말고 내 소중한 시간을 여기에 쏫아붇자.
