Monalisa Smile《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》五

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。

3. It slipped。
我说漏嘴了。

Slip的意思很多，最常用的意思是：滑、溜、失足、纰漏、失误等。我们可以通过以下例子体会这个词的意思。
1) a slip of tongue 说漏嘴了；口误
   a slip of pen 笔误
2）He was in two minds on that chance, which resulted in having let it slip through his fingers. 由于他当时犹豫不决而眼睁睁错过了最后的机会。

4. Are you in？
你来吗？

这个表达的肯定形式是 I'm in. 表示“我参加；我加入；算我一个”。这又是一个口语短句，在口语中还有类似的表达，如：Count me in. 也是“算我一个”的意思。其相反意思的表达是：Count me out.

5. She wears his pin.

这句话表面的意思是“她带了他的徽章”。Pin 在这里的意思是：a fraternity pin gave to (a woman) in token of attachment. 定情物（将自己大学联谊会会徽送女人作为定情物）
所以在这里这句话的含义是“她已经带上了他的定情信物”，或者“他们俩已经定下终身”。
