影片对白

Bridget: Everything under control , I see. Um... Excellent graph. Lovely legs.

Becky: Thank you.

Bridget: I am so sorry. I thought... Oh, I don't know what I thought. Now you're really angry with me.

Mark: No, no, I'm not angry.

Bridget: It's OK; you can say if you are. It's not the end of the world.

Mark: I'll get you a glass of wine.

Bridget: The thing is I ran into Janey Osborne, who said she'd just seen you with this girl, with really long legs, and Shazzer and Jude said I should get over here straightaway.

Mark: So, following the orders of the dating war command, you decided to execute a raid.

Bridget: You are angry. 

Mark: No, I'm not angry, just disappointed.

Bridget: Disappointed? Oh, God, that's worse than angry.

Mark: I'm just disappointed I can't take you home this instant.

Bridget: Oh. What about all those lawyers?

Mark: Oh, plenty of time to butter them up at the Law Council Dinner next Friday. Don't want to go, do you?

Bridget: I'd love to. Oh, stupid Bridget, stupid friends. Wonderful, loyal Mark Darcy... who loves me just the way I am.

Mark: What on earth are you doing?

Bridget: Getting dressed.

Mark: Why are you dancing around in that tent, Bridget?

Bridget: Because I don't want you to see any of my wobbly bits.

Mark: That's been pointless, because I have a very high regard for your wobbly bits in all circumstances.

Bridget: Really?

Mark: Absolutely, and I think it's high time we had another look.

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. everything under control

或许大家在看到这句话的时候会觉得有些奇怪，因为这句话实际上是没有谓语的，正确的说法应该是everything is under control.但大家要注意了在口语中我们有时不会太强调语法的正确与否，只要说的“随意”就好。

2. the end of the world

“世界末日”。知道了意思之后要学会它的用法。通常情况下，当某人受委屈或受到打击时可以安慰他说 Well, it's not the end of the world. （这又不是世界末日，赶快振作起来吧。）

3. butter someone up

“取悦某人”，但是这里的取悦，一定是有目的性的。比如说，非常想买条裤子，但是没钱，怎么办？只能去求老妈了。这里就可以说：You have to butter your mother up before she gives you the money.

4. have a very high regard for..., it's high time to do...

“非常喜欢，很是崇拜”的意思，而这里可以说用的最好的词就是high，它代表的是一种程度。那么下一句 it's high time to do...就可译为这是“做……的最好时机”。举个例子：“这是消灭敌人的最好时机”就可以说It's high time to get rid of our rivals.

Tent in an Alpine Meadow

This tent sits in an isolated spot in the Olympic Mountains in Washington State's Olympic National Park. Many people enjoy camping, where they can escape the stresses and distractions of urban settings and everyday life.

Camping

Camping, an activity in which people live temporarily in the outdoors. History is filled with examples of soldiers camping out, as at Valley Forge during the American Revolution, and of nomadic peoples throughout the world who move their campsites from place to place. But today camping is primarily a recreational activity. Camping provides an opportunity to experience nature firsthand. Campers participate in fishing, hunting, swimming, plant study, bird and wildlife watching, and nature photography. Just as importantly, camping helps people escape the stress of city life. It provides physical benefits when it involves hiking to, from, and around a campsite, and many outdoor enthusiasts believe that camping instills confidence in youngsters and offers older campers opportunities to challenge themselves in unfamiliar surroundings. Recent improvements in camping gear and a growing number of organizations that teach people wilderness safety have made it easier to spend several days or even weeks in the outdoors.
