精彩對白
Lady: He just waltzes in and cuts in line?
Waiter: We reserve priority assistance for our Hilton Honors members.
Ryan: The promotions are great. You should check it out.
Natalie: Hungry much?
Ryan: Our business expense allots $40 each for dinner. I plan on grabbing as many miles as I can.
Natalie: Okay, you got to fill me in on the miles thing. What is that about? Are you talking about, like, frequent flyer miles?
Ryan: You really want to know?
Natalie: I'm dying to know.
Ryan: I don't spend a nickel if I can help it unless it somehow profits my mileage account.
Natalie: So, what are you saving up for, Hawaii, South of France?
Ryan: It's not like that. The miles are the goal.
Natalie: That's it? You're saving just to save?
Ryan: Let's just say that I have a number in mind and I haven't hit it yet.
Natalie: That's a little abstract. What's the target?
Ryan: I'd rather not.
Natalie: Is it a secret target?
Ryan: It's 10 million miles.
Natalie: Okay. Isn't 10 million just a number?
Ryan: Pi's just a number.
Natalie: Well, we all need a hobby. No, I... I don't mean to belittle your collection. I get it. It sounds cool.
Ryan: I'd be the seventh person to do it. More people have walked on the moon.
Natalie: Do they throw you a parade?
Ryan: You get lifetime executive status. You get to meet the chief pilot, Maynard Finch. And they put your name on the side of a plane.
Natalie: Men get such hard-ons from putting their name on stuff. You guys don't grow up. It's like you need to pee on everything.
Ryan: Now who's stereotyping?
Natalie: Fear of mortality. It's like, "Yeah, you're gonna die one day."
Ryan: And why do you suppose that's singular to men?
Natalie: Probably because you can't have babies.
Ryan: The baby argument.
Natalie: If I had that many miles, I would show up at an airport, look at the destination board, pick a place and go.
Ryan: Thanks for the advice. Oh, Jesus.
Natalie: Okay. Closer. Way closer. Still closer. Closer. Okay. A little left. Okay, down a little. Too far. Up. Up one more inch. I don't get it. Why does your sister want a fake photo?
Ryan: My sister is kooky. She thinks this is charming. It's like the gnome thing.
Natalie: No, I mean, why would your sister want a fake photo in front of the St. Louis airport?
Ryan: Are you kidding, Lambert Field? The Wright brothers flew through there. That domed main terminal, it's the first of its kind. It's a precursor from everything, from JFK to de Gaulle.
Natalie: Pretty sweet.
Ryan: Just take the picture.
Natalie: Well, that's a keeper.
Ryan: Let me see it.
Ryan: Why she wants dozens of reminders of all the places she hasn't been is beyond me.
Natalie: Well, I'm sure she'll be crushed for having missed this airport.
Ryan: Look, before Lindbergh could cross the Atlantic, he took off from one of those runways. Do you ever wonder why they called it the Spirit of St. Louis?
Natalie: No.
Ryan: Well...
妙語佳句 活學(xué)活用
1. waltz in: 大搖大擺地走，如入無人之境。
Waltz作名詞時指“華爾茲圓舞曲”，而作動詞時卻有不同的含義，請看下面的用法：
waltz through sth：輕易完成，輕而易舉地取得。
waltz off (with something/someone): 令人討厭地離開（常帶走不屬于自己的東西）。
waltz with someone：與某人跳華爾茲舞。
2. cut in line: 插隊，加塞。
3. Honors member：榮譽會員。一般能享受優(yōu)惠服務(wù)。
4. frequent flyer miles：頻飛航空積分里程，也就是“里程點數(shù)”，通常可以用一定的點數(shù)來兌換機票。
5. be dying to do/for something: 渴望，極想。
例如：I'm dying to see you every moment of the day.（我時時刻刻都盼著見到你。）
6. belittle：輕視，貶低。
我們平時所說的“妄自菲薄”，就可以用belittle oneself unduly來表示。
7. chief pilot：正駕駛員，在這里指總機長。
8. kooky：怪癖的，愚蠢的。
例如：That man is really kooky. He has fifty-three cats!（那個人真古怪，養(yǎng)了53只貓。）
9. gnome：侏儒，地精。
Gnome常用來指國外民間傳說中在地下出沒的“地精”和在地底看管寶物的“小矮人”。在實際生活中，我們還常用它來表示“在金融市場上搞投機的銀行家”。
例如：The Chancellor of the Exchequer doesn't only have to convince the cabinet that his budget is sound, he has to convince the gnomes of Zurich.（財政大臣不但要讓全體內(nèi)閣確信他的預(yù)算是合理的，他還得使蘇黎世的銀行家們信服。）
10.from JFK to de Gaulle：從肯尼迪機場到戴高樂機場。
11.that's a keeper：照下來了，這個不錯。Keeper本意指“看守人，保管人”，這里是說這張照片留念照好了。
12.Spirit of St.Louis：圣路易斯精神號，一種飛機的名字。
