影片對白 But if she's not careful, she could spend her whole life waiting.
3. Kind of
這個表達原來我們應該學習過，因其使用頻率之高，我們在此再復習一下。詞組的意思是“有點，或多或少”。
1) He is kind of disgusting, but I cannot hate him for it somehow.
2) Today is kind of cold, so I've stayed at home for the whole day.
4. Around the corner
表示“將要到來”，是一個習語，但是它的本義是“在拐角處”，有時候也引申為“隨處可見”。e.g.:
1) Spring Festival is just around the corner. 春節將至。
2) Don't know that old age is just around the corner. 不知老之將至。
在電影 Forrest Gump 中有一句臺詞是: Bubba was my best good friend. Even I know that wasn't something just around the corner. 意思就是“Bubba是我最好的朋友，連我都知道這份友誼是世間難尋的”。
文化面面觀
Sandra Bullock 桑德拉·布洛克
Born: 26 July 1964
Birthplace: Arlington, Virginia
Best Known As: Co-star of the movie Speed
Sandra Bullock was a huge hit as Keanu Reeves's plucky love interest in the 1994 bus-gone-crazy film Speed. The film's success made her one of Hollywood's most talked about actresses. The honeymoon was brief, but Bullock moved into making light comedies and romances as a solid lead. Her films include While You Were Sleeping (1995), Forces of Nature (1999, with Ben Affleck), Miss Congeniality (2000) and Two Weeks Notice (2002, with Hugh Grant). Bullock married Jesse James, the star of the reality TV show Monster Garage, on 16 July 2005.
The marriage to James is Bullock's first; she was 41, he 35. James owns the high-end motorcycle shop West Coast Choppers and claims to be a distant relative of the outlaw Jesse James. After the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Bullock donated $1 million to the American Red Cross. After the tsunami devastation of December 2004, she donated another $1 million to the Red Cross.
我觀之我見
可能有人覺得 Keanu Reeves 和 Sandra Bullock 的搭配不夠完美。但是這部電影也正因為選角的準確性而使電影更趨完美。也只有經歷過人生的成熟男女，才能精準的詮釋這一份含蓄的激情。電影拍的簡單，唯美，并沒有太嚴重的時空跳躍， 因此觀眾不會看的神經錯亂。中間卻也道出了現代人生活的空虛。除了工作，生活就沒有其他。男女主角對那間湖畔小屋的喜愛正好也反射出了現代城市人對庸碌生活和擁擠的生活空間的厭惡，和對大自然空間的向往和渴望。
