Donna: Okay, good night, two cowboys. Ben: Reach for the sky, Pocahontas. Donna: No, back to bed. Come on. Pocahontas is off duty. You getting sick, sheriff? Michael: I don't got time to be sick, so no. I need to watch this documentary on Asian architecture. Donna: Well, you gotta get some rest sometime, sweetheart. Besides, the woodland creatures will laugh at you if you collapse trying to put up the tent this weekend. Michael: Yeah. I forgot to tell you. We gotta postpone the camping trip. Ammer put me on a project. It's due Tuesday. If I don't finish this design, I'm off it, so... Donna: The kids have been talking about camping all year. Michael: Think I don't know that? It's just every choice I make, everything I do, I disappoint somebody. Donna: So, maybe make sure you don't keep disappointing the wrong people. Michael: Honey, I'm not out drinking or gambling or hitting on chicks. I'm working my ass off so my family can have a better life than I've dreamed about when I was a kid. The only way for that to happen is for me to watch this stinking show! So relax, hon. Ah! Are you kidding me? Will you give me a break one time? Damn it! The O'Doyles got a stinking universal remote control. We're gonna have one too. I'm sick of this. Donna: You want me to open the garage for you? Michael: Yeah. Closed. Closed. Open. Bed Bath & Beyond it is. Hey, man? You guys got universal remote controls in there? Man: For a shower curtain or a bathmat? Michael: For a television. Man: I don't think so. Maybe for a blanket? Michael: You got a remote for a blanket? Man: I’m sorry, dude. I don't work here. I'm waiting for my friends. Michael: You're kidding me. Man: Actually, yes. I don't have any friends. Will you be my friend? Wow, wow, man. Michael: Bed. Bed. Bath. Bath. Bed. So tired of my life. Beyond? Sorry to sneak up on you. I just... You guys got a universal remote control back here? Morty: Something stinks like stale French fries. Michael: All right, that's probably me. Morty: You know, fast food shortens your life. Michael: Yeah, that's what I heard. But the way my life's been going lately, that ain't such a bad thing. Morty: You're looking for a universal remote control? Michael: Yeah. Just one device to do it all for me... make my life a little easier, quicker, not so damn complicated. Morty: I'm not supposed to do this, but you seem like a good guy. Michael: Hey. Somebody noticed. Thank you. Morty: I'm gonna show you a remote we just got in that's probably the most advanced piece of technology we have in this place. Michael: Sounds sweet. Morty: It is sweet. The latest, greatest universal remote not even on the market yet. Michael: I guess the O'Doyles' remote can bite my advanced-technological ass then. Morty: I don't know the O'Doyles. But they can bite it hard. 妙语佳句,活学活用 1. Off duty 这个片语我们并不陌生,off duty 的意思是“not at one's post or work; at liberty”,例如:They spent their days off duty in hiking and fishing. Off duty 的反义词就是on duty,意为“At one's post, at work”,例如:The new nurse was on duty that evening. 2. Be off Be off 有“Be free from work, school, or some other regular occupation”的意思,在这个电影片段中Michael 的意思是如果他不能在到期之前完成设计的话,他就不能再做这个设计工程了。我们来看个例子:The secretary is off today, but perhaps I can find it. 3. Hit on Hit on 这个俚语的意思是“骚扰,勾引”,例如:John loves to go out and hit on chicks. |
