妙语佳句,活学活用


1. swamped


这个单词本身作为动词是“陷入沼泽, 淹没, 覆没”的意思。名词自然就是“沼泽地”的意思,但是它还有一些引申的词义,比如在这里它的意思是“使应接不暇,使陷入困境”等等。
e.g. She was swamped with work. 她忙得不可开交。
This company was swamped by heavy debts. 这个公司债台高筑。


2. stunning


意思是“极好的”“足以使人晕倒的”,当然也有“使人惊讶的”意思。如:
The circus gave a stunning performance to the audience. 马戏团给观众们带来了精彩的表演。
He thought you were perfectly 5 stunning. 他觉得你令人陶醉。
英语中表示类似意思的词很多,比如:impressive/ gorgeous/ fabulous/ amazing/ wonderful,等等,大家应该多多积累,灵活使用。


3. say that again.


这里的这个句子就是它本来的意思,Alex 让 Henry 重复一遍他刚才说的话。我们还可以学一个跟这个句子很相似的句子:You can say that again. 我们来看一个例子:
--Shirley is a clever girl. 雪莉是个聪明的女孩。
--You can say that again. 你说的没错!
这里的You can say that again,意思是“一点没错;对极了!”。


4. take out


在这里,这个词组的意思是“带(某人)出去”,在这里其实就是和某人约会,在口语中大家也经常这么用,比如在电影 Sabrina中有一句台词是 David's taking out Patrick Tyson's daughter. 大卫在和泰森的女儿约会。
此外表示和某人约会还有一些其它的表达,都是由简单词组构成的,如:
He asked me out tonight.
I'm with him.
How about going out with her?


我观之我见


影片的结尾处,还是在情人节, 原本已经打算把这份感情埋藏起来的Alex突然想到了两人之前的通信中Kate提到过这一天她在广场上,尘封起来的激情再一次爆发,他冲向湖边小屋去找Kate的信,这是他的2006年,Kate的2008年,此时的Kate在Henry的公司里发现了Alex的画作,并得知Alex于两年前的今天死于一场车祸,她突然省悟到两年前那个在广场上死在自己怀里的人就是Alex。所以接下来她疯了一样冲向了湖边小屋的神奇邮箱。还是在同一个广场上,Kate母女俩在说着相同的话题。但是这一次在熙来攘往的人群中,我们看到了Alex忧郁的双眼在深情注视着Kate。Kate在邮箱跟前祈祷,希望Alex不要去找自己,让他再等两年,两年后的今天来湖边找她。尽管广场上Alex向前迈了一步,但他很快又退了回来,他的手里拿着Kate写给他的关于等待的信。两个人的感情感动了上帝,Alex没有再向前走,车祸也没有发生。而邮箱前的Kate停止了哭泣,因为她看到了向她缓缓驰来的Alex的车。


整部电影无论画面还是配乐,色彩,让人感觉安静而简单,当然这当中缺不了Keanu Reeves 和 Sandra Bullock 时隔十年之后的再度合作,对孤独的无能为力,对真爱的略带绝望,两人静静地表演着。很难得,好莱坞的电影演出了东方的味道,散发着神秘的淡淡的却总是纠缠不清的忧伤。
