Marge: Homer! I believe what happened in church was a warning about precisely this. Please, get rid of that pig.
Homer: Oh, you're gonna love him. Look, he does an impression of you. You nailed her. He also does me. You smiled. I'm off the hook. Oh, you have so many looks.
Bart: So that's what snug is.
Homer: Who's a good pig? Who's a good pig?
Flanders: Rough day, huh, son?
Bart: You don't know what rough is, sister.
Flanders: Bart, you know, whenever my boys bake up a batch of frownies I take them fishing. Does your dad ever take you fishing?
Bart: Dad, it's not fair to use a bug zapper to catch the fish.
Homer: If you love fish like I do, you want them to die with dignity. I think I have a nibble.
Bart: I think fishing might be more fun with you.
Flanders: Oh, great. Now, how about I fix you some cocoa?
Bart: No way. Cocoa's for wusses.
Flanders: Well, sir, if you change your mind, it's on the windowsill.

2. You nailed her.
Nail有“To keep fixed, motionless, or intent 使固定,使動彈不得、使無表情的或專注的”的意思,在這里可以理解為“你把她嚇呆了”。
3. Off the hook
這個片語的意思是“released (or be released) from blame or annoying obligation擺脫……”,比如:He was out of town during the robbery so he was off the book. 搶劫發(fā)生的時候他不在城里,所以沒有嫌疑。
4. Bake up a batch of frownies
Frown 是“皺眉”,一皺眉想必臉是很臭的,所以這個片語的意思就是“擺著一張臭臉,表情很難過”,例如:Whenever that guy walks into the office he bakes up a batch of frownies. 那個人每次一走進辦公室都掛著一張臭臉。
