We'll watch the playoffs. I'll order a pizza. I'll completely ignore you. C: Give me one good reason. K: 'Cause I'm different. C: Really? … Okey, what color are my eyes? K: Well. At first glance, your eyes are brown. But when the light hits them they change to amber. And if you really closely around the iris the color is purely honey. But when you look into the sun, they almost look green. That's my favorite. … How did I do? C: I would've settled for brown. 【单词解析】 playoff:最后决赛 at first glance:乍一看 amber:琥珀 settle for:满足于 【重点讲解】 Charlie转过身去,调皮地问,“我的眼睛是什么颜色的?”她要看看这个Kevin到底是不是真的很在意她,能够在短短的时间里注意到了她的细节。 Kevin回答说,猛一看上去(At first glance,第一眼看上去)她的眼睛是棕色的。但当亮光照到它们,它们就变成了琥珀色(amber)。可是,如果离得很近很近,颜色又是纯粹的蜂蜜色,纯粹的甜蜜的颜色(honey)。然后,当它们朝向太阳,它们看起来又近乎是绿色的。 当Kevin最后略显得意地问,“我的答案怎么样”,Charlie的表情是绝对喜出望外的。她承认“你只回答是棕色的就足够了”。词组settle for,满足于,满意于。 |
