BJ单身日记 2(二)
Bridget: Who cares about the odd professional hiccup? The fact is I've been in a functional relationship with an adult male for six wonderful weeks, four fabulous days and seven precious hours, or to put it another way, 71 ecstatic shags . He's given up being snooty, and I've given up smoking. Well, he thinks I have anyway, which is practically the same thing... Mark Darcy is perfect. Not a fuckwit, alcoholic, workaholic, pervert or megalomaniac, but total sex god and human rights lawyer. He is a miracle, really. Mark: Bridget, will you stop? Stop staring at me while I'm asleep. Go and find something to do. Bridget: Sorry. So, as you can see, the incredible truth is the wilderness years are over. Bridget Jones is a love pariah no more. Workmate: Morning, Bridget. Late again. Bridget: Yes. Sorry. I was in bed with my boyfriend. He's a human rights lawyer, you know. Workmate: Yes, we know. Bridget: I cannot believe how fantastic shagging was last night. Maybe I'll ring him. No, no... Obviously it's important to tell one's boyfriend how nice he looks naked, but I have crucial, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism to do. Mark: Hello? Bridget: It's me. Just wondered how you are. Mark: I'm fine, thanks. Everything all right with you? Bridget: Fine, though, er... I've just had a rather graphic shag flashback. And you do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom. Mark: Thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican ambassador, the head of Amnesty international and the Undersecretary for Trade and lndustry. And you're on speakerphone. Bridget: Oh. Right, well... I'm quite busy with important stuff too... 妙词佳句,活学活用 1.put it another way 这里着重要讲的是put这个词。通常情况下put是放置的意思,除此之外,put还有“说,表达”的含义。put it another way就是“换个说法”的意思,相当于我们学过的in other words。 2.shags 英国俚语,意思是have sex with someone。美国人很少这样讲。 3.Everything all right with you? 这句话可称之为金牌句型,意思是“一切顺利吧,一切还好吧”!如果一个朋友看起来有些神秘兮兮的,总是有话不说,吞吞吐吐。这时你就可以问他 Everything all right with you? 4.be on speakerphone speakerphone 是免提电话的意思。假设你正在看书,这时电话响了,你随手按了免提键,就可以用到这句话了:You are on speakerphone。我在用免提和你说话。 |
