第4集就到這邊結束啦!大家喜歡這集的故事嗎?
編劇常常會把現實生活中嚴重的社會階級差距放到劇本裡變成一種笑料,
從Gabi嘴裡若無其事地說出來。
像是妖豔女友花了一百萬美元買來冠軍種馬,Gabi卻諷刺地說自己是服務生和汽車修理員的「種」;
當Gabi的閨蜜幫她買驗孕棒卻沒有錢時,她只好回去抖家裡的沙發;
Gabi 自嘲吃剩的食物是自己的員工福利,別人的工作福利卻是401K(雖然她自己也不知道是什麼)。
諸如此類太多的笑話雖是建立在貧富差距的諷刺上,
卻能讓觀眾暫時放下現實的壓力,和腳色們一起笑看人生。
劇情的細節再再凸顯出中下階級(Gabi、其他管家和她的閨蜜)和上流社會 (Josh和他的妖豔未婚妻) 的生活方式、吃喝穿搭、交友方式等等,都截然不同。
而我也越來越期待,社經地位相差如此大的Gabi和Josh最終會不會成為情侶呢?
如果真的相愛了,這樣的差距又會擦出什麼樣的火花?
雖然學英文是很耗腦力的一件事情,但是透過看影集不但可以增添樂趣,也可以學到更道地的用語,所以千萬不要半途而廢,要好好學習下去唷!
放棄是容易的,但是堅持是有意義的!
也希望我的分享對大家有幫助,我們一起加油!💪
