BJ单身日记 2（精讲之四）

影片对白

Bridget: I've never been happier in my entire life. However, must not obsess 1 or fantasise. Bridget Darcy. Mrs. Darcy. Mr. and Mrs. Darcy. Lord and Lady Darcy. Wonder what Mark Darcy would be like as a father. Father to his children, I mean, not to me. That would be a weird 2, Oedipus-like thought. At last,life is on track.Bridget Jones, fiancé, wife, mother. Bugger.

Cleaver 3: Ever fancied doing it in the dark with a total stranger? All right, perhaps not a total stranger.

Bridget:Back off, Cleaver, or I'll report you to a sexual harassment 4 tribunal. I'm a serious journalist.

Cleaver: Is that your most serious skirt, Jones?

Bridget: Oh... Do you like it? I thought you hated television.

Cleaver: I hate watching television. Being on it is, hello, an entirely 5 different position.

Bridget: Daniel thought the Madrid piece was outstanding, full of instinct, really really original. 

Cleaver: Cheers, Jeremy. Thanks, I really appreciate that. That's really a hard work, that one. Tosser. Talking of which, how is Mark Darcy? You still...?

Bridget: Yes, I am. And I intend to be for a very, very long time.

Cleaver: Good. Excellent. You know what a fan I am of any woman married to Mark Darcy.

Bridget: That's not funny.

Cleaver: Seriously, Jones, speaking purely 6 unselfishly, I worry about you. You do know that it's knowledge of fact that most lawyer's wives die of boredom 7?

Bridget: What about you? Still shagging anything that moves?

Cleaver: As a matter of fact, no. No shagging whatsoever 8. I'm in shag therapy. It turns out I have a problem. I go to meetings, talk about my feelings. Hug people who smell.

Bridget: I don't believe you.

Cleaver: I'm trying... to be a better man, Bridget, so that the next time a better woman comes along, I won'tmake a pig's ear of it.

妙词佳句，活学活用

1． Life is on track.

生活步入正轨，没有其他的烦心事了，这时就可以用这句话：Life is on track.

2． Back off

离开的意思。英国人比较喜欢说这个词，但是它和get out 是有区别的。get out指的是出去，或者更气愤一点时，指的是滚。但是back off更多是指离我远点。

3． Make a pig's ear of it

这是英国人喜欢用的一种不正式的表达方式，意思是"做错某事"。而在此句当中，I won't make a pig's ear of it. 指的就是我不会再做错事了。

文化面面观

Therapy

Therapy, any of various techniques used in the treatment of physical or mental illnesses. Therapy is used not only during the course of a disease but also after recovery if the patient suffers lingering effects. Although some disorders 9 may be treated by only one form of therapy, a combination of therapeutic 10 techniques is often required.

Therapy for Fear of Flying

Participants in a program to overcome a phobia (fear) of flying on airplanes get ready to "graduate" by taking a short flight. The program uses a type of behavioral therapy called systematic 11 desensitization, which teaches people to relax in a situation that would normally produce anxiety.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is an important form of treatment for many kinds of psychological problems. Two of the most common problems for which people seek help from a therapist are depression and persistent 12 anxiety. People with depression may have low self-esteem, a sense of hopelessness about the future, and a lack of interest in people and activities once found pleasurable. People with anxiety disorders may feel anxious all the time or suffer from phobias, a fear of specific objects or situations. Psychotherapy, by itself or in combination with drug treatment, can often help people overcome or manage these problems.
