【跟着美剧练发音】美剧美语932期

Laurel: before you start yelling… 

Dad: why would I yell? You are only defending the man that killed your sister.

Laurel: Oliver did not kill Sarah.

Dad: if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have been on that boat.

Laurel: have you consider the possibility that that’s the reason you are trying to make him out to be this, this menace ['menəs] ?

Dad: no, it is the video tape, is the suspicious [sə'spiʃəs] timing¹. That is the reason.

Laurel: this is Oliver Queen we're talking about. He wrecks² [rek] fancy cars and he dates models. He doesn't kill people.

Dad: no, he just uses them, like he used Sarah, and like he used you, and he’s only asked you to be his lawyer to get at me.

Laurel: no, he asked me to be his lawyer to get through to you. You hate the Hood³ and you hate Oliver. And you want more than anything for them to be the same person. But Oliver isn't the reason why Sarah died. Or the reason mom left.

Dad: I don't have to listen to this.

Laurel: by the way… you’re not the only one who misses them.
