影片对白

Charlie Stewart: Hungry?

Connie: Famished. Please don't say we can live on love. That's how I missed breakfast. What's the matter? What's the matter?

Charlie: Phillip and Vanessa McIntyre, parents of a friend.

Connie: You wanna say a quick hello?

Charlie: No! No, I'll be trapped. Damn it!

Connie: Could you seat us in the bar?

Waitress: We're only serving in the front part of the restaurant this afternoon.

Connie: Miss! Miss Stone. This has been the most romantic weekend I may ever have. Ever. And all that's standing between right now and perfection are the McIntyres over there. Now, you know with all the competition out there, a girl's got to be able to move a few mountains every once in a while. I could use all the help I could get.

Waitress: Come this way.

Connie: I fixed it. No more McIntyres.

Charlie: Thank you. Thank you. Let's not talk about this.

Connie: All right.

Violet: Hold your breath and turn. Don't forget to smile. Arms up. Move together. Faster, Fran! When you surface, smile.

Girls: Come on, Connie!

Betty: How about we have a girls' luncheon this weekend? Just us.

Giselle: Where's Spencer?

Betty: Away.

Girl: I'm free.

Giselle: I'm busy.

Joan: What are you doing?

Connie: She's dating a psychoanalyst.

Joan: Oh, really?

Connie: Who's married.

Joan: Giselle!

Connie: Sorry, it slipped.

Betty: Are you in , Connie?

Connie: I'll check with Charlie.

Betty: who?

Giselle: Charlie Stewart. Your cousin.

Betty: You're kidding?

Connie: We spent last weekend at the cape. A little hideaway he knew about.

Betty: Operative word, "hide." Men take women to the cape in the winter when they're embarrassed to be seen with them. He's using you.

Giselle: He's not using you if you want to go. Come here. Don't listen to her.

Betty: I love you, and I swear I'm not saying this to hurt you. Charlie's promised to Deb McIntyre. She wears his pin. Giselle, you know it's true.

Giselle: I don't know anything about a pin.

Connie: McIntyre? Are her parents named Phillip and Vanessa?

Betty: You know them?

Connie: Only from a distance.

妙词佳句,活学活用

1. I'll be trapped.

好句子,意思是“我就逃不掉了!”trap这个词的意思是“设陷,坑害”,在口语里建立在这个词义基础上的句子也显得很生动。如:
1)Don't fence me in, Mary. Don't make me feel trapped. 别约束我,玛丽,别让我觉得陷入了圈套。
2)We are trapped, Louise! 我们逃不掉了,路易斯!

2. I fixed it.

这个句子更是短小精悍,不知大家是否准确理解了它的意思:我搞定了!当然,这个意思是来自fix的词义:安排,确定。如:
1) All fix up, Jack? 都安排妥当了吗,杰克?
2) If you want to interview the Mayor, I can fix it. 如果你想采访市长的话,我来给你安排。

fix这个词还有个常用意思是“修理”,引申的意思为“康复”。如:
1) Tell him to behave, or I'll fix him. 告诉他规矩点,否则我就收拾他。
2)A few days' rest will fix me up. 休息几天我就会康复的。
