5. maintain some boundaries

意思是“划清界限，保持距离”。“Maintain”是“保持或维持某事物”，同时，它也有“在财务上支持（某人）；赡养”的意思。比如：This school is maintained by a charity. 该校由一慈善机构资助。而“boundary”是“界限；分界线”的意思。而我们经常说的“无限的（形容词）”则是“boundless”了。

6. crowd control

意思是“activity of controlling a crowd”，这里可以理解为 “人多不好控制/协调”。这里的“crowd”指的是“（很多）人”，而“control”是一个名词。Nancy一进门就看到房间里突然多了一个“出水芙蓉”，当然就觉得人“多”喽！

7. Don't bet on it.

这句话的意思是“想都别想”、“别指望它！”。“Bet on”是“在……下注的意思”。比如：I don't bet on horses. 我不赌跑马。

文化面面观

Grown-up girl-bonding time 和女友相处的时间

Bonging time 是指“和别人一起共度一段时光”，那么girl-bonding time 就是“a chance or time to get close to another girl，get together and be friends and talk”，建立和维护、享受女性之间的友谊。也有male-bonding time，就是男士们相聚聊天、维持友谊的时间。

至于grown-up，Nancy is obviously a grown-up because she's a woman, but usually kids like to be called "a big girl" or "grown-up" (even though they're not, they're just children) to feel older/respected. 但是在电影中可不是这样，Morgan只有6岁，还不想要什么grown-up girl-bonding time，但是身为父亲的Robert则说“You won't always be (six years old).”搞笑之余又令人感到辛酸。
