看摩登家庭學英文_Modern Family S01E16 - 歐美

書蟲女孩從荷蘭回台灣之後，腦中最常出現的想法就是：好熱啊～～～不得不說荷蘭
的氣溫相較之下真的舒服很多，但這次的旅行也讓我體會到台灣是一個對旅客們非常友善
的國家，能在台灣成長也是一件很幸運的事情，關於更多旅行的心得之後也都會更新在部
落格，大家敬請期待！另外，颱風來襲，大家務必小心安全，下班之後趕快回家看個影集
也是一種生活的享受！

http://imgur.com/tkACtF4

本集一開始用紀錄片的方式一一詢問角色們最害怕的是什麼？每個人的回答都很有趣
，也再次強化各個角色的人格特質。這集中幾乎每一個人都克服了他們害怕的事情。Phil
和 Luke 因為有線電工人隨口的一句話，決定到房子下面尋寶，最後只找到前一個屋主留
下來的萬聖節骷顱頭裝飾；Haley 和 Alex 也各自有不同的恐懼要解決，Haley 第三次考
駕照，還遇到跟之前同樣一位嚴肅的監考官，Alex 因為擔心舞會找不到舞伴所以不想去參
加； Mitch 和 Cam 邀請 Lily 的小兒科醫師來家中吃早午餐，過程中 Lily 第一次說話
，而且還對醫生喊了一聲 Mommy，Mitch 和 Cam 因此崩潰；Gloria 決定帶 Manny 去玩
雲霄飛車克服他對雲霄飛車的恐懼，孰不知其實 Jay 也害怕坐雲霄飛車。

§摩登家庭小趣聞：
書蟲女孩之前在看艾美獎頒獎典禮入圍名單的時候就發現一件很有趣的事，所有角色報名
的獎項都是以配角 (Supporting actor/actress) 的身份報名，原來劇組的大家從第一季
開始就達成共識，大家都願意以配角的身份報名獎項，象徵劇中的每一個角色都一樣重要
，這在電視劇中真的非常少見呢！
