Gloria: Who drank all the coffee?
Jay: Oh, I, uh, I had quite a bit of that. You know, I haven't, um, been sleeping too well. There's actually a funny story about what's causing that.
Manny: Mom, I'm fully aware of the changes your body is going through, and that nasal stuffiness is very common during pregnancy, but we got a crisis in this house. You've been snoring. But I got you these nasal strips. In the commercial, the old man's angry red sound waves turn a gentle blue.
Gloria: So I'm like an old man?
Manny: No!
Gloria: Like a dog then? A pig? What is it, Manny? I'm an old man, a dog, or a pig? Jay, help me out here.
Jay: You've heard it. I don't know what the boy's talking about. If this is a glimpse of teenage, Manny, I don't love it. Have a little respect for your beautiful mother.
Gloria: Thank you, Jay.
Manny: You're right. Sorry, mom.

格洛丽亚:谁把咖啡都喝了?
杰伊:哦,我,嗯,喝了不少。你知道的,我最近睡眠一直不是很好。话说原因很有趣。
曼尼:妈妈,我非常清楚你现在身体上的变化,怀孕期间鼻塞也很常见。但咱们家正面临危机,你一直都在打鼾。我给你买了止鼾鼻贴,广告里那老头鼾声如雷都能治。
格洛丽亚:你把我比作老头?
曼尼:不是。
格洛丽亚:那就是像狗一样?像猪?是什么,曼尼?我是像老头还是狗或猪?杰伊,你帮我说说话。

quite a bit
相当多
quite a bit是美语俚语,意思是“相当多,相当”。和bit相关的俚语有很多,如a bit of,它是“一点儿,少量的”的意思,例如:
1.Have a bit of patience.请忍耐一下。
2.Get a bit of rest.休息片刻。
相近的还有a bit of a…,意思是“有点儿……(的味道)”,例如:
1.He's a bit of a girl.他有点儿像女孩子。
2.I am a bit of a reader myself.我自己好歹也是个读者。
a glimpse of
瞥见
glimpse是“须臾一瞥,瞥见”的意思。如果要说“爸爸用眼睛一瞟,发现儿子又在打游戏”,英文的表达方式是Out of the corner of the his eye, the father caught a glimpse of his son playing on-line games again.而“我瞥见了杰姆”可以说I caught a glimpse of Jim.
a glimpse of还可以表示“看到未来的走向,或是未来的发展”。例如:When my boss was talking about the history of Eastbay Tech, I caught a glimpse of the company's future.当我的老板谈到东湾科技的历史时,我看到了这家公司的未来。
类似的表达还有a sight of,sight是“看见,瞥见”的意思,所以catch sight of字面上就是“捕捉到某个景象”的意思,英文可以解释为notice或是suddenly see。如:
I suddenly caught sight of my colleague in the crowd.我在人群中突然看到了我的同事。
