影片對(duì)白 But if she's not careful, she could spend her whole life waiting.
3. Kind of
這個(gè)表達(dá)原來(lái)我們應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)，因其使用頻率之高，我們?cè)诖嗽購(gòu)?fù)習(xí)一下。詞組的意思是“有點(diǎn)，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(lái)”，是一個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)，但是它的本義是“在拐角處”，有時(shí)候也引申為“隨處可見”。e.g.:
1) Spring Festival is just around the corner. 春節(jié)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(tái)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(jué)得 Keanu Reeves 和 Sandra Bullock 的搭配不夠完美。但是這部電影也正因?yàn)檫x角的準(zhǔn)確性而使電影更趨完美。也只有經(jīng)歷過(guò)人生的成熟男女，才能精準(zhǔn)的詮釋這一份含蓄的激情。電影拍的簡(jiǎn)單，唯美，并沒(méi)有太嚴(yán)重的時(shí)空跳躍， 因此觀眾不會(huì)看的神經(jīng)錯(cuò)亂。中間卻也道出了現(xiàn)代人生活的空虛。除了工作，生活就沒(méi)有其他。男女主角對(duì)那間湖畔小屋的喜愛(ài)正好也反射出了現(xiàn)代城市人對(duì)庸碌生活和擁擠的生活空間的厭惡，和對(duì)大自然空間的向往和渴望。
