情景對話：
Danielle: I'm telling you, dad didn't come home last night. They had a fight, a bad one.
我跟你說哈，爸爸昨晚沒回來。他們吵架了，吵得很厲害。
Andrew: How bad?
多厲害啊？
Danielle: Like divorce court bad.
離婚法庭那麼厲害。

今日知識點：
Someone didn't come home last night. 某人昨晚某人沒回家。

英文“吵架”怎麼說：
Have a fight
例句一：
I had a fight with my husband. He didn't come home last night.
我昨天跟我丈夫吵架了，他昨晚沒回來。
例句二：
A: Why isn't Naomi with you?
Naomi爲什麼沒跟你在一起啊？
B: We had a fight so she didn't want to come out with me.
我們吵了一架，所以她不想跟我出來。

Have a fight 這個“吵架”一般不是指“動手打架”，如果想說動手這種：
① He got punched by his coworker.
他被他同事揍了一拳。
② His wife beat him last night.
昨晚他老婆把他揍了。
They had a fight, a bad one.
刻意把a bad one放在最後，這樣是爲了表示強調，在口語中很常見。

一些類似的表達：
① He bought a car – an expensive one.
他買了輛車，一輛很貴的。
② He got a girlfriend – a pretty one.
他找了個女朋友--很漂亮。
③ I'm gonna get a raise – a big one.
我要加薪了，還會加很多哦。
-How bad?
-Like divorce court bad.

Like…bad.
就像…那麼糟。
這裏bad前邊不僅可以加副詞，還可以加名詞和形容詞。比如：
① Like bad bad.
真的很糟。
② Like divorce court bad.
就像離婚法庭那麼糟。
③ Like they're gonna break up bad.
就像要分手了那麼糟糕。
④ Like he's gonna get fired bad.
就像他要被炒掉了那麼糟糕。

我們不僅可以問how bad，回答like…bad，還能用這個句式替換成其他形容詞。
例句一：形容一輛車價格貴
A: How expensive?
多貴？
B: Like you can't afford it expensive.
反正你買不起。
例句二：形容一個人刻薄
A: How mean?
多刻薄？
B: Like rip your face off mean.
就像把你的臉抓下來一樣刻薄。
例句三：形容一個東西長相醜
A: How ugly?
多醜？
B: Like make you puke ugly.
能讓你吐這麼醜。
例句四：形容意見東西破舊
A: How trashy?
多破？
B: Like dumpster trashy.
就好像垃圾桶一樣破。

- How stupid?
- Like melt your brain stupid.
