- 欧文点评：In this scene, Andrew is trying to embarrass and humiliate George by insinuating [ɪn’sɪnjʊeɪtɪŋ（含沙射影、旁敲侧击；暗示）]
- that he is not experienced in relationships with women. Andrew does this by making assumptions about George’s personality that he’s genetically incapable of attending to Bree’s needs and wants. George initially tries to dismiss the conversation by saying that his personal life is none of Andrew’s business. However, Andrew persists, implying that George’s relationship with his mother is more than just casual dating and that it’s important for his mother to be with someone who knows how to please a woman.
George becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the conversation, especially when Andrew starts talking about his parents’ sex life and mimicking his mother’s orgasm. This is an example of teenage rebellion, where Andrew is pushing boundaries and violating social norms by discussing taboo topics like sex and relationships in front of an older authority figure.
Scrumptious[‘skrʌmpʃəs] ：(of food) extremely tasty; delicious. (of a person) very attractive. （美味可口的；十分漂亮的、特别吸引人的）
Reasoning:
Storm out:
George’s attitude throughout the conversation is one of discomfort and embarrassment. He tries to deflect Andrew’s questions and change the subject, but Andrew persists, making George feel increasingly uneasy. George’s reluctance to engage in this conversation is understandable, as it is inappropriate and disrespectful. It is also clear that George is a more mature and responsible individual, as he tries to steer the conversation back to more appropriate topics.
The conversation between Andrew and George touches on the topic of teenage rebellion, particularly with regards to George’s relationship with Andrew’s mother. Andrew’s probing about George’s sexual experiences with women and his insinuations that George is not a “player” suggest that Andrew is attempting to assert his dominance over George and assert his position as the son of the woman George is dating.
George’s response to Andrew’s comments is interesting, as he initially attempts to deflect Andrew’s questions by saying that his experience with women is none of Andrew’s business. This could be seen as a way of setting boundaries and protecting his privacy. However, Andrew persists in his questioning, and George becomes defensive and tries to shut down the conversation by saying that it is inappropriate and asking Andrew to stop talking.
Bite the bullet and suffer the silence.
