哈~我承認是看了大娛樂家(The Greatest Showman)才來複習 Zac Efron 以前的電影
裡面的她已經開始練身體了,不過現在又更壯了!
電影雖是老梗,人們總是為了自己沒選擇的路在後悔
通常都是因為不滿意現在的生活才在怪罪之前的決定
結局應該也不難猜,是個看鮮肉養眼的電影
Zac 現在的樣子
電影的一開頭就講了一句蠻有意思的諺語
The world is your oyster (idiom) 世界任你遨遊
字面上是直翻「世界是你的牡蠣」,這句出自莎士比亞著作的諺語
因為當時的牡蠣很珍貴,世界是你的牡蠣等於世界任你行
而英國版的悠遊卡也叫做牡蠣卡(Oyster card)也是這樣來的
on a second thought 再仔細思考之後...
例如: He had intended to go, but on second thought, he gave up the idea.
out of line (phr.) 無理; (行為語言)失序
英英: beyond what is considered acceptable behavior
例句: The teacher warned them that she would punish anyone who stepped out of line.
out of the picture (phr.) 不重要; 被排除在狀況外
英英: not important to or not involved in a situation
例句: He used to be an important member of the team, but he's gradually drifted out of the picture.
相反詞常見的有 keep/ put sb in the picture、keep sb informed/ updated/ noted
in shape (phr.) 身體健康; 狀況良好
英英: in a good condition
例句: You'll never be in shape until you eat less and take more exercise.
同義詞還有: beV in shape = stay in shape
注意不是只身材,而是身體健康狀況良好 (只不過通常身體健康也常常是身材不容易走樣就是了)
相反詞 out of shape 指的是身體狀況不好
而 beV in good shape 還有準備好了 beV ready 的意思
如果要表達「保持身材」則用 keep one's figure 喔
dribble the ball (v.) 運球
例句: He dribbled the ball and then shot.
pass the ball (v.) 傳球
例句: Pass me the ball!
we are even (phr.) 我們扯平了
英英: to no longer have cause to seek revenge (against someone).
例句: You broke the tail light on my car, so I slashed your tires—now we're even.
be in this together (phr.) 一起面對
英英: to face the challenge together
do sb a favor (phr.) 幫誰忙
英英: to help sb; to give sb a hand
例句: Do me a favor, please, and help me move this.
a (real) catch (n.) 條件很好的對象
英英: someone who is a good person to have a relationship with or to marry because they are rich, attractive etc
例句: Since a doctor or a lawyer is a good catch, he can attract a woman whose family is wealthy.
