摩登家庭 第四季

#12

Phil: Nice game of chicken, Claire. She's gone!
Claire: She is coming back. I am almost positive.
Phil: Why do I listen to you? Why? You were wrong about the iPod being a failure. You were wrong about tomato being a vegetable. I don't even want to talk about your favorite "Planet" Pluto!
Haley:You were going to let me go with him?
Claire: Isn't that what you wanted, honey?
Haley: What's the matter with you?! You've been acting so weird ever since I left college!
Claire: For the record, you didn't leave college. You were asked to leave.
Haley: Oh, which you guys never let me forget, especially dad.
Claire: Honey, your father...
Haley: Oh, you don't have to tell me what he thinks, okay? I'm a huge disappointment to him. I see it on his face every day. He acts as if he doesn't even want me around.
Phil: Give me the ticket for the car.
Claire: Phil...
Phil: I'm going after her! This little chicken game may work for your dad, but it doesn't work for me. That's my little girl. I need her to know that no guy on earth is good enough for her, let alone some slimy, middle-aged jean salesman!
Phil: What's this?
Claire: Just enjoy it.

Jay: There's all kinds of milestones in life. The kind you expect to live through... The first kiss. Birthdays. Graduations. If you're lucky, a wedding or two. Or even a new addition to the family. You never dreamed you'd get to live through again. And that's the best kind of all. Why am I spoiling it for you? You'll see for yourself.

Haley: Uh, what do you think you're doing out there?
Alex: I'm flirting.
Haley: That's what I was afraid of.
Alex: Look, I'm not gonna pretend I'm stupid just so a boy will like me.
Haley: Of course not. But you don't have to put the poor guy to shame. Flirting with boys is about increasing your value, not decreasing theirs.
Alex: That's a complicated thought. What magazine taught you that?
Haley: You're doing it again! The mean things. Can you even hear it or what?!
Alex: I heard it.
Haley: Good. So now that he knows that you're smart, let's work on being nice.

Haley & Alex: We won!
Boy A & B: Man, that sucks! Yeah, totally un-masculating.
Alex: Well, at least you guys look cool when you play.
Boy A & B: Let's play again. This never happened.
Haley: Actually, we need to go hang out with our family for a while.
Boy A & B: Really? Now?
Haley: Yeah, but we'll be around. We'll see you guys.
Alex: What happened? Did I mess up?
Haley: No, you did great.
Alex: So he didn't like me?
Haley: No, he totally liked you.
Alex: Then why'd we walk away?
Haley: This was never about him. This was about getting you some confidence. Guys will pick up on that. Better guys. Guys who can lose to a girl without feeling e-masculated.
Alex: Okay, try not to throw this in my face one day, but sometimes you're actually really smart. Like, smart smart. I hope you know that.
Haley: And I'm totally throwing that in your face one day. Are you kidding?

Jay: Good guy.
Cam: Who -- Teddy? Yeah. Yeah, he's the best.
Jay: Nuts he can't find anybody, huh? Gotta be something a little off there. He definitely did not bring out the best in Mitchell, I can tell you that right now.
Cam: Oh, really? Well, you know, not that it matters... but in what way exactly?
Jay: Honestly? When they were together, Mitchell could be a bit of pill. Now, I like Teddy, but when they broke up, I was actually kinda glad. Of course , Mitchell thought that I was uncomfortable because of the gay thing, and maybe I was, but... I really just wanted him to be happy. Like he is now. And when you two started up, everyone thought, "Well, there it is."
#Okay, kids. Couples skate. Grab someone you love and get out there.#
Cam: Jay, you can be so...
Jay: I'm not skating with you, Cam.
Cam: Yeah.
Claire: What about me, dad? You wanna skate with me?

Manny: What qualifies someone as a hero? Obviously, a hero has to be someone we respect. A person we look up to. A person who is generous of spirit. Who's willing to grow and learn. Maybe it's the person you love most in the world or the guy who makes the most out of life, no matter what anyone thinks. For me, though... The hero in my family is my family because of who we are together.
C-. "This was not the assignment." I'll tell you who is not my hero, Mrs. Rita Mcnabb.

#24

Phil: My daughter Alex would like to pay tribute.
Alex: My grandmother and I had a very special bond. This may not make sense to everyone, but I'm pretty sure she would've loved it.
"This is a lighter. It belonged to my favorite actor, Paul Newman. One day, he came into the restaurant where I was waitressing and accidentally left it behind. For the first time in my life, I did something I wasn't supposed to and slipped it into my pocket. One of the customers saw and said, "don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." That customer turned out to be the love of my life, your grandfather. So, my Alex, who I love so dearly, who is probably too much like me for her own good, every once in a while, don't be afraid to break the rules. You never know what can happen."

I've always seen life like a series of doors. Sometimes you get to choose the door you go through, sometimes you don't get that choice. But you still gotta walk through. So you can either go kicking and screaming, or walk through with your head held high.

完完全全拜倒在美国小镇平凡家庭喜剧的魅力之下。

果然是，美帝用各种糖衣包装好他们的生活方式，以各种途径侵蚀我社会主义人民的头脑。
试想，一家三口，老爸娶了年轻性感的拉丁美女做老婆，一双儿女长大成人后，女儿生了三个小孩成为家庭主妇，儿子则幸福地和男友生活在一起并领养了一位越南女儿，这样的组合如果放到我天朝基本上就是神话了。老爸必然被三姑六婆戳脊梁骨戳死，估计还可能被儿女双双嫌弃，并要求提前瓜分遗产。女儿看似生活正常，但必然将因为违反计划生育而缴纳巨额罚款及断绝企事业单位的工作大门。儿子不用说了，除了上媒体头条及被亲戚朋友们指指点点外别无他路。

天朝人民，往往都习惯把自己的生活价值理念凌驾在他人的生活之上，三天两头搓搓麻将聚个同学会，就把那把拉批判的尺子拿出来量一量度一度，稍稍见到谁谁谁的日子不是按那把尺子的标准在过，便开始忍不住指手划脚的去干涉，恨不得做个裁缝伸只手出来就可以把别人选好的衣服裁裁减减做成自己喜欢的款式。

对于摩登家庭来说，电视剧里描述的生活无疑是天朝人民不可企及的。（当然，也不觉得美帝人民就可以轻易实现。只是天朝人民的距离更加遥远）物质上来看，三户人家，全部住在生活方便、宁静详和的小镇上，生活安定，而且还家家拥有一幢town house，光是这一点就可以秒杀被房价逼死的天朝人民了。但是我觉得，更重要的是，是三户人家各自独立、互相关爱而又互不干涉的生活态度。

比如那老爹一直都明显表现出不喜欢儿子是基佬，但他仍然尊重了他的性向选择。比如老爹娶了如此性感的后妈，儿女们也选择了欣然接受。

他们也吵吵闹闹，表达对各自的不满，为了各自的缺点而抓狂。但无论如何不会批判或试图控制对方的生活方式，不会在真正伤害对方感受的地方伤筋动骨，并时时不忘表达对对方的爱与支持。

至少在我的理想里，人生的幸福并不是住什么样的房子开什么样的车子。而是你身边的最重要的那些人，给你无限的支持与关怀（哪怕只是纯精神上的），但却不会是对你的生活进行控制。很多时候，并不是不知道那是一种爱，而是希望那种爱不是一种以爱为名义的枷锁。

    一季的结束，结尾特别美好，绚烂的烟花犹如每次过年那种普天同庆的喜庆，就如同生命中每一次灿烂的美好，那么的刻骨铭心，那么的具有无与伦比的意思，像是登台演出，像是被所有人羡慕眼光所笼罩的那一刻，而跟那一样美丽的，最后一刻的黄昏和摇椅，完美的夏日，一切都是那么美好，那么的沁人心脾，好想生活在那里，过不完的夏天，漫长的海岸线，人烟稀少的住宅。
    不断寻找的，努力的，发现的，一切还是无法打破生活的梗长，那种望不到头的日月，那些无尽的烦忧，那些无法使我充满希望的度过接下来的几十年。一生中纠结的事有很多，缺少金钱，不够完美的容貌，得不到情人的全身心投入，或是失去本来所拥有的，有的不多失去的也不少，到了一定的年龄，有些事情身不由己。不停的在想很多事情，却也突然明白，我要的努力，是在能力范畴之内的，其余的许多东西，可能真的不需要过多的苛求与索取，要想明白这些，放弃许多事情，真的是很不容易，不要把太多的事情放在眼里，真的很难，但可能这就是意思吧，一切都没有意思，活在其他的介质里，想要摆脱一切，真的是很难呢

之前看过绯闻女孩Gossip Girl又或是老友记friends。

但是这部的感觉确完全不一样的，除了一贯的美式幽默，却是更加贴近生活的，有一些东西，无论是西方还是东方，无论年龄，在人生中却是一样的。教育、家庭、过往、未来、恐惧、矛盾、谎言、欺骗 、诚实、责任、梦想、失落 、怀疑and so on ，只要你生活中有的东西，里面都会有，只要你经历过的。里面每一小节不长，只讲生活中一个小小的事情，把我们每天所要面对的小小侧面或者矛盾表现出来，每一个小节都会有一个“真心对话”，告诉我们一些想法，some real thinking。我很喜欢里面的情节，因为感觉跟我现在的生活很相似，或者可以说跟我现在面对的问题和矛盾很相似。但是the point 在于modern family所表现出来的西方文化与现处的东方是很不一样的，因为他主张自由、民主、坦诚、融洽。 面对各种不同文化的交杂，各种问题的出现，需要直面内心的勇气，坚持自我的个性，容纳谅解的度量。because we are the family! I love you all ! 即使有时我们互相生气，互相责骂，但是爱的心却始终不会改变！这才是我们能长久生活在一起的信念。
