5. Dry Goods
在这里，Dry Goods可不是什么好话，dry goods = nuts =
testicles，因为Garfield 之前刚说了警卫：your zipper's down.
6. Stuck-up little punk
Stuck-up 指的是那些“自以为比别人好/强的人”，little punk 指的是“讨人嫌的人（主要是讨你的嫌）”，所以Stuck-up little
punk 翻译过来就是“自以为是的讨人嫌的家伙”。
7. Ugly-American thing
Americans have a reputation as being obnoxious, loud, rude and annoying, in
other words 'ugly'. Odie 做的事情可是非常粗鲁哦！

Tina Turner
蒂娜·特纳——美国摇滚教母
Birth Name: Anna Mae Bullock
Genre: Rhythm & Blues
Active: '60s -
2000s
Instrument: Vocals
The most dynamic female soul singer in the history of the music, Tina Turner
oozed sexuality from every pore in a performing career that began the moment she
stepped onstage as lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in the late
'50s. Her gritty and growling performances beat down doors everywhere, looking
back to the double-barreled attack of gospel fervor and sexual abandon that had
originally formed soul in the early '50s. Divorced from Ike in the mid-'70s, she
recorded only occasionally later in the decade but resurfaced in the mid-'80s
with a series of hit singles and movie appearances; her high-profile status was
assured well into the '90s.
Born Annie Mae Bullock near Brownsville, TN, she began singing as a teen, and
joined Ike Turner's touring show as an 18-year-old backup vocalist. Just two
years later, Tina was the star of the show, the attention-grabbing focal point
for an incredibly smooth-running soul revue headed by Ike and his Kings of
Rhythm. The couple began hitting the charts in 1960 with "A Fool in Love," and
notched charting singles throughout the '60s, though the disappointing position
of "River Deep-Mountain High" -- cited by Phil Spector as one of his best
productions -- was very hard to take. All expectations were filled in 1971 with
"Proud Mary," a number four hit which became the capstone of Ike & Tina's
Revue. Frustrated by Ike's increasingly irrational behavior, though, Tina walked
out just three years later.
She celebrated her new-found freedom in 1975 with a role in the film version
of The Who's Tommy. Playing the Acid Queen, she delivered an outrageous,
all-too-brief performance in an otherwise forgettable mistake of a movie.
Several albums were recorded for United Artists during the late '70s, but she
appeared to be washed up by the turn of the decade. Surprisingly, Tina returned
in 1983, first teaming with a Heaven 17 project named BEF on a remake of the
Temptations' "Ball of Confusion." Tina's vocal offering was understandably
apocalyptic, and she gained a solo deal with Capitol that same year. Her first
single, a cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," hit the Top 30 early in
1984. Second single "What's Love Got to Do With It" became one of the year's
biggest hits, spending three weeks at number one. Her album Private Dancer
included two more Top Ten singles, the title track and "Better Be Good to Me."
With another movie role in 1985 (Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome), she found a
number two hit with its theme, "We Don't Need Another Hero." Her next big hit
followed in 1986 ("Typical Male"), after which Tina began to decline, still
charting occasionally and selling respectably with albums including 1989's
Foreign Affair, 1996's Wildest Dreams, and 2000's Twenty Four
Seven.
