Connie: Famished. Please don't say we can live on love. That's how I missed
breakfast. What's the matter? What's the matter?
Charlie: Phillip and Vanessa McIntyre, parents of a friend.
Connie: You wanna say a quick hello?
Charlie: No! No, I'll be trapped.
Damn it!
Connie: Could you seat us in the bar?
Waitress: We're only serving in the front part of the restaurant this
afternoon.
Connie: Miss! Miss Stone. This has been the most romantic weekend I may ever
have. Ever. And all that's standing between right now and perfection are the
McIntyres over there. Now, you know with all the competition out there, a girl's
got to be able to move a few mountains every once in a while. I could use all
the help I could get.
Waitress: Come this way.
Connie: I fixed it. No more
McIntyres.
Charlie: Thank you. Thank you. Let's not talk about this.
Connie: All right.
Violet: Hold your breath and turn. Don't forget to smile. Arms up. Move
together. Faster, Fran! When you surface, smile.
Girls: Come on, Connie!
Betty: How about we have a girls' luncheon this weekend? Just us.
Giselle: Where's Spencer?
Betty: Away.
Girl: I'm free.
Giselle: I'm busy.
Joan: What are you doing?
Connie: She's dating a psychoanalyst.
Joan: Oh, really?
Connie: Who's married.
Joan: Giselle!
Connie: Sorry, it slipped.
Betty: Are you in , Connie?
Connie: I'll check with Charlie.
Betty: who?
Giselle: Charlie Stewart. Your cousin.
Betty: You're kidding?
Connie: We spent last weekend at the cape. A little hideaway he knew about.
Betty: Operative word, "hide." Men take women to the cape in the winter when
they're embarrassed to be seen with them. He's using you.
Giselle: He's not using you if you want to go. Come here. Don't listen to
her.
Betty: I love you, and I swear I'm not saying this to hurt you. Charlie's
promised to Deb McIntyre. She wears his
pin. Giselle, you know it's true.
Giselle: I don't know anything about a pin.
Connie: McIntyre? Are her parents named Phillip and Vanessa?
Betty: You know them?
Connie: Only from a distance.
妙詞佳句，活學活用
1. I'll be trapped.
好句子，意思是“我就逃不掉了！”trap這個詞的意思是“設陷，坑害”，在口語里建立在這個詞義基礎上的句子也顯得很生動。如： 1）Don't
fence me in, Mary. Don't make me feel trapped. 別約束我，瑪麗，別讓我覺得陷入了圈套。 2）We are
trapped, Louise! 我們逃不掉了，路易斯！
2. I fixed it.
這個句子更是短小精悍，不知大家是否準確理解了它的意思：我搞定了！當然，這個意思是來自fix的詞義：安排，確定。如： 1) All fix up,
Jack? 都安排妥當了嗎，杰克？ 2) If you want to interview the Mayor, I can fix it.
如果你想采訪市長的話，我來給你安排。
fix這個詞還有個常用意思是“修理”，引申的意思為“康復”。如： 1) Tell him to
behave, or I'll fix him. 告訴他規矩點，否則我就收拾他。 2）A few days' rest will fix me up.
休息幾天我就會康復的。
Charlie Stewart: Hungry?
Giselle: I don't know anything about a pin.
