Manny打算骑车去上学，Gloria怕他摔着，就给他买了一辆带有两个副轮的自行车，但是Jay认为Manny要是骑这样的自行车去学校肯定会被笑话，男孩子还是要有男孩子的样子，不会骑就学呗。

Jay: Let's go, kid. Back to the salt mine.

Manny: That's okay, Jay. I'm biking to school today.

Jay: Good for you.

Manny: There's a bunch of cool kids who ride their bikes everyday. Thought I'd join them.

Jay: Hey, wait. wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What the hell is that?

Manny: My new bike. Mom got it for me yesterday. Pretty sweet, huh?

Jay: Training wheels?

Manny: Nice ones. Custom made. They don't usually come on bikes this size.

Jay: Gloria!

Manny: What's wrong?

Jay: You don't know how to ride a bike?

Manny: I know how to ride this bike.

Jay: Stephen Hawking could ride that bike.

Gloria: Ay. What happened? Did he fall?

Jay: How could he fall? You can't send him to school on a bike with training wheels. They'll make fun of him. Didn't you teach him how to ride a bike?

Gloria: How could I? I don't know how to ride a bike.

Jay: 2/3 of my house can't do what a billion Chinese do.

Gloria: My mother thought that riding a bike was dangerous. She would say, "That's how people grab you!"

Jay: Okay, this is how it's going down. Today I'm driving you to school, on the weekend, I'm buying you a bike, and I'm teaching both of you.

杰伊：走吧，孩子，上车坐好。

曼尼：没事，杰伊，我今天骑自行车上学。

杰伊：不错嘛。

曼尼：很多很酷的孩子每天都骑自行车上学，我也想成为他们中的一员。

杰伊：嘿，等等，等等，那是什么？

曼尼：我的新自行车啊。妈妈昨天给我买的，很不错吧？

杰伊：辅助轮？

曼尼：高级货，专门定制的。通常这么大的自行车都没有。

杰伊：格洛丽亚！

曼尼：怎么了？

杰伊：你不会骑自行车？

曼尼：我会骑这辆自行车啊。

杰伊：斯蒂芬·霍金都能骑那部自行车。

格洛丽亚：啊，发生什么事了？他摔倒了吗？

杰伊：他怎么会摔啊？你不能让他骑着带辅助轮的自行车去上学，他们会取笑他的。你没教他怎么骑自行车吗？

格洛丽亚：怎么教啊？我自己都不会骑。

杰伊：我家竟然有三分之二的人不会干十亿中国人都会干的事。

格洛丽亚：我妈妈觉得骑自行车太危险了，她会说“别人就是这样把你抓走的！”

杰伊：好吧，我看这样，今天我还是开车送你去上学。周末我给你买辆自行车，然后教你们俩。

Good for you.

不错嘛！

这个句子在口语中很常用，如果按照字面意思“为了你好”来理解的话，可就搞错了。在口语中，“Good for sb. !”一般单独成句，前面不加主语。它表示对别人的行为的一种赞许或认可，可以译为“不错啊，你真棒”。比如别人考试拿了好名次，你可以说“Yeah，good for you!”

Good for.．也可以用于夸奖第三人，如果对方提到他的朋友找到好工作，你可以说Good for her/him.

它也可用于自我鼓励，如果你达到了自己的目标，或是取得了好成绩，可以说Yeah, good for me!

What happened?

发生什么事？

此句口语中，happen使用了过去式，因此要询问的是过去发生的事。类似的表达还有：

1．What's up?怎么了？

2．What's wrong?怎么了？

3．What's wrong with you?你怎么啦？

4．What's the matter?出什么事了？

5．What's the matter with you?你怎么啦？

6．What's going on?发生什么事了？

7．What the hell?怎么搞的？

这些都是很常见的口语表达，在实际使用中稍有差别，可以根据实际情况灵活运用，说出一口地道的英文。
