Stump[stʌmp]：（残余部分、残根；难住，难倒）
1、the part of something such as a tree, tooth, arm, or leg that is left after most of it has been removed.
E.G.1：God, it has been so long since my back has acted up. Then, wham! Out of the blue, I’m crying by a tree stump. （DH S03E03）
参考翻译：老天，我后背发病都好长时间了。突然间，好想靠着树桩痛哭一场。
E.G.2：He just kept hacking at it and muttering “Take that, Karen! ” under his breath. — Really? — Yeah, you should go and look. Nothing left but a stump. （DH S08E14）
参考翻译：他不停地砍啊砍，还低声咕哝着”受死吧，凯伦”。– 真的吗？– 对，你真应该去看看，只剩树桩了。
2、to be unable to answer a question or solve a problem because it is too difficult.
E.G.1：Lee Craig has the biggest ego of any doctor I know. If he wants to consult with someone, that means he’s stumped. Which means I’m screwed. （DH S02E22）
参考翻译：李·克雷格是我认识的最自负的医生，如果连他都需要和别人会诊，可见他真的没辙了，也意味着我完蛋了。
E.G.2：It’s a great hiding place, by the way. Had me stumped for a good four seconds. （DH S08E06）

E.G.1：So, it’s not such a stretch. I wonder if Paul avenged his wife’s death by killing Martha for blackmailing them. （DH S01E22）
参考翻译：其实你的推测并不是站不住脚，我怀疑保罗杀玛莎是为了报复，她的敲诈逼死了他妻子。
E.G.2：Anyway, I’m thinking a brighter color for the baby’s room. Now I know it’s a bit of a stretch, but how do you feel about turquoise[‘tɜːkwɔɪz（青绿色、绿松石）]? （DH S05E16）
参考翻译：我觉得婴儿房必须是鲜艳的色调。– 我知道这可能有点说不过去，但你觉得青绿色怎么样?

参考翻译：我以为我从头到尾不会笑场，但你实在太好笑了。有件事我要坦白一下。
E.G.2：You did this. Not your mother. At least be man enough to own up to it. （DH S01E22）

欧文点评：作为一部以女性为焦点的肥皂剧，《绝望的主妇》中的男性配角在这部剧当中活得很压抑、撇屈、很没有范儿。通常是处于被主导、被牵制的地位。我们从这一段Tom被老板辞退这段，可以看到他的命运完全不由自己把控。那个口口声声鄙视女人之间使用阴谋诡计操纵竞争和战斗的Lynette，有意无意地搅黄了大夫的职场升迁之路。基于对Tom的商业才能设定，做到公司副总裁的位置已经到了瓶颈。Tom自己在第一季第15集中坦言：”I am 41 years old. If I don’t make vice president now, it’s never gonna happen. This is my career. It’s important to me.”
而我们从Lynette在之前剧集中所展现的商业才能、处理问题的有效手段和之前同事的下面反馈来看，她才是那个在职场上如鱼得水、前途无量的广告界精英，为了让自己的三个顽皮的孩子平安过渡，她选择了牺牲自己的职业生涯，做起了全职家庭主妇，在抚养和陪伴孩子成长的过程中，尽到做母亲的职责。
我们从Tom公司的Spotless scrub清洁剂广告营销策划案例中，不难发现：Lynette非凡的商业才智、敏锐的洞察力以及对于职场生活的狂热倦念。
编剧对于Tom怒怼老板，愤然辞职和Lynette重返职场的剧情铺设可谓是下足了功夫。给人的感觉是：一切既在情合之中，又出乎意料之外。这里稍作解释：Lynette本打算通过Nat这层关系，为Tom找好下家，以切断他与旧爱Annabel死灰复燃的可能性，结果Nat坦言Tom不是她要找的得力干将。为达目的，Lynette紧接着顺手推舟把Annabel介绍给了Nat.
Tom的老板为了留住Annabel，不得不许以高薪要职，而Tom这个已经在接手副总裁职位的老将，突然得在被他引荐过来的新人手下做事，导致愤恨难平，他火冒三丈、理直气壮地去找老板理论，结果发现始作俑者竟是自己的妻子。整个剧情虽然相当的戏剧化，但是并不显得突兀和狗血，编剧对主要人物行事的手腕、情绪的渲染以及人性的思考方面可谓是精益求精，值得看官慢慢挖掘和细心品味。
