Denial: Joe and I had a lot of time to prepare
for this moment, some of her requests, for instance that I
should bring Claudia Schiffer as my
date to the funeral. I was confident she expected me to ignore. But others she
was pretty damn clear about, when
she first mentioned what's about to happen. I said: "Over my dead body". And she
said: "No Daniel, over mine!" And as usual, my darling girl and Sam's darling
mum was right, so she's going to say her final
farewell to you not through me but, inevitably, ever so coolly,
through the immortal genius of the Bay City Rollers.
妙詞佳句，活學活用
1. Prepare for this moment
為這個時刻做準備。也許在我們的一生當中，曾經或將要經歷很多個不同的時刻，開心的，痛苦的，沒有任何感情的！而我們也曾為那些激動人心的時刻做過刻骨銘心的準備。That is to say,
we gotta prepare for that moment!
4. over my dead
body 這是一個特別常用的俚語，指的是“不可能”的意思！比如：一人問：“我能在一天內學好英文嗎？”就可以答：“Over my dead body”。
5. Say her final farewell to you
Farewell這個詞是在日常生活中很少用的，我們常說的是goodbye。farewell相對更正式，更莊重一些。Say her final
farewell to you 指的就是“向你們道別”。打個比方，由于工作關系，某人被調到很遠的地方去，在臨行之前一定要和朋友們道別一下，to say her
/ his farewell to her / his good friends。
文化面面觀
Bay City
Rollers
The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop/rock band of the
1970s. Their youthful, clean-cut image, distinct styling featuring
tartan-trimmed outfits, and cheery, sing-along pop hits helped the group become
among the most popular musical acts of their time. For a relatively brief but
fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania").
這是上個世紀70年代一個非常出色的樂隊，樂隊中每個成員都以當時比較流行的清新形象出現在大眾面前，深受歌迷的喜愛，更有很多人把此樂隊和Beatles相提并論。Their
first hit was "keep on dancing". 在這個電影片段中，當Daniel說完了這段告別辭之后響起的那首歌就是Bay City
Rollers 的Bye Bye baby!
