影片对白

Amanda: Hey, you know, let's just take off for a few weeks.

Man: Yeah.

Amanda: What do you mean, Yeah? I'm not kidding.

Woman: You always say that this is our busiest time.

Amanda: I need to get out of town. You know, I think I need some peace and quiet, or whatever it is people go away for. You know what I really want to do? I want to eat carbs without wanting to kill myself. You know, I want to read a book, not just a magazine. An actual book. For years I read these reviews, I buy the books, but I never read them. Did you read that article in The New York Times last Sunday? Severe stress makes women age prematurely1, because stress causes the DNA2 in our cells to shrink until they can no longer replicate3. So when we're stressed, we look haggard. This is just women, not men.

Man: I'm sorry.

Amanda: And remember when they used to say that single women over the age of 35 were more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to get married? Okay, that was horrible, but now our generation is also not getting married, and, bonus, real terrorists actually became part of our lives, so the stress of it all shows up on our faces, making us look haggard while Ethan goes on looking cute forever and shtupping his 24-year-old receptionist! Oh, my God! See what I mean? I need a vacation.

*********************

Amanda: Okay. Where do I want to go by myself at Christmas? By myself, depressed4 at Christmas. All alone on vacation. Alone, alone. Totally alone. Oh, please, just give me one. One tear. Okay, moving on. Worry-Free Vacations. Good. Where's that? Bora Bora. Kayak for one? No, thank you. Vacation Rentals5. I could do that. Hole up in a house somewhere. Disappear for a few weeks. I like that idea. Where do you want to go on your next vacation? Click here and pick a country... Where do they speak English? Click on a town or city. Let's see. Cotswolds. Barn converted to modern house in the beautiful Cotswolds. Which looks exactly like the Valley. Surrey. Christmas in the country. A fairy tale English cottage set in a tranquil6 country garden. Snuggle up by an old stone fireplace and enjoy a cup of cocoa. An enchanting7 oasis8 of tranquility in a quiet English hamlet, just 40 minutes from exciting London. Yeah.

Iris: What am I doing? Low point. Low point. I'm interested in renting your house. I'm wondering if your house is available this Christmas, because if it is, you could be a real lifesaver. I know it's ridiculously late to be asking, but if you're at all interested, please contact me. I'm very interested, but the cottage is really only available for home exchange.

Amanda: Home exchange. What is that?

Iris: We switch houses, cars, everything. I haven't done it before but friends of mine have. Where are you? Please say somewhere far away. L.A.? Ive never been there but always wanted to go. I'm Iris, by the way. I'm very normal. Neat freak. Healthy. Non-smoker. Single. Hate my horrible life.

Amanda: Im Amanda. Loner, loser and complicated wreck10.

Iris: Hi.

Amanda: Hi. I must say, your house looks idyllic11.

Iris: Just what I need. Really? What does your place look like?

Amanda: My place is nice, but its a little bigger than yours.

: Not hard to be.

Amanda: Can I ask you one thing?

: Of course.

: Are there any men in your town?

Iris: Honestly? Zero.

AMANDA: When can I come?

: Tomorrow too soon??

AMANDA: Tomorrows perfect!

Iris: Okay, we are on for two weeks, starting tomorrow.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. take off: 休息,休假。比如:He took two weeks off in August.(他在8月份休假两星期。)

2. carbs: 碳水化合物。不少人觉得碳水化合物会致使发胖。影片中可以推断出阿曼达平常比较注意身材的保养,所以不大吃碳水化合物。

3. haggard: (因为生病、焦虑或睡眠不足)憔悴的,疲惫的。看一下例子:There was a drawn12 and haggard look about his eyes.(他的双眼露出疲劳而又憔悴的神色。)

4. bonus: 额外给予的东西;额外有哪些好处。这里阿曼达显然是在说反语。看一下例子:The extra two-day holiday was a real bonus.(外加的两天假期真是额外之所得。)

5. shtup: 与性交。

6. kayak: (坐的部份遮盖起来的)独木舟,单人划子。

7. hole up: 躲藏,藏匿。

8. snuggle up: 依偎。

9. hamlet: 小村庄。

10. neat freak: 洁癖;有洁癖的人。

11. wreck: (身体或精神上)遭到紧急损伤的人。看一下例子:His uncle was a complete wreck after the illness.(他叔叔病后身体完全垮了。)

12. idyllic: 平和漂亮的,田园诗般的。
