影片對白  So the choice is yours, ladies. You can conform to what other people expect or you can--

3. Don't bother.

這是一個常用短句，意思是“別勞神，別費心，別麻煩”。大家可以學著用用：
1）Don't bother, I'll do them myself later. 別麻煩了，我一會自己做。
2）I didn't bother to have the car checked, a mistake for which I paid dearly. 當時我為了省事沒有檢查汽車，這一失誤讓我付出了慘重代價。
3）Mrs. Wilkes, don't bother about your husband. 維爾克斯太太，您不必為你的先生擔心。

文化面面觀

Vincent Van Gogh  文森特·梵·高

Van Gogh, Vincent (1853-1890), Dutch painter who exemplified the idea of the artist as tortured genius. His work represents the epitome of expressionism: color, line, and brush stroke are used to express the artist's emotional response to the subject rather than to describe it accurately.
凡·高，文森特是荷蘭后印象主義派作家。他的早期作品，如《吃馬鈴暑的人》，用低沉、暗淡的色彩描繪了農民的生活。他的后期作品，包括許多自畫像，一系列向日葵花的畫，和《星夜》(1889年），以大膽的、有節奏的繪畫技巧和鮮艷的顏色為特點。他與失落情緒長期斗爭最終以自殺結束.
