影片對白

Connelly: Nancy?

Nancy: Hello, Mrs. Connelly.

Connelly: Nancy, dear. I couldn't help noticing that Alex left the house this morning while you stayed home.

Nancy: Iwas downsizedfrom my job.

Connelly: Aw, I'm sorry. But I'm sure it's for the best. Let Mr. Rose get out there andbring home the bacon. I always thought it was strange. A husband staying home while you were out there providing.

Nancy: Well, he's a writer.

Connelly: Writer. The man naps more than a newborn pup. What's he writing about? Sheep?

Nancy: Is there something, Mrs. Connelly?

Connelly: Oh, I guess you could say there was something. I've got something on display in my kitchen.

Nancy: That is not a mouse dropping. It's a raisin.

Connelly: That is the leavings of a mouse.

Nancy: It's a raisin.

Connelly: Isprayed itwith Lysol.

Nancy: Ohh. And she puts on this sweet face, and she acts all innocent. Nancy, could you help me? I think I found the leavings of a mouse, as if she didn't know it was a raisin.

Alex: I know.

Nancy: I've never designed religious leaflets, per se.1:00. Great, Rabbi. Thank you so much.

Connelly: Nancy? 

Nancy: Okay.

Connelly: Nancy? Nancy? Are you down there?

Nancy: What is it, Mrs. Connelly?

Connelly: Little Dickey's caught in the dumbwaiter shaft.

Nancy: Well, how did he get there? Aaah!

Connelly: Oh, don't hurt him. Oh, ooh, Dickey boy. Oh, careful.

Nancy: Aah!

Connelly:Shame on you.

妙詞佳句，活學活用

1. be downsized...
指的是公司裁員。在這里大家注意它和fire之間的區(qū)別。兩個詞都有被解雇的意思，但是fire指的是因為某種原因而被解雇了，downsize 則是指因為公司要減少開支等原因而裁員。

2. bring home the bacon
這個短語的意思是“……是家里掙錢養(yǎng)家的人”。打個比方，“老爸是家里的頂梁柱”就可以說：It is my father who brings back the bacon.

3. spray it
夏天的時候，蚊蟲亂飛，夠討厭的吧？用噴霧劑殺蟲是個有效的辦法。spray 的意思就是用“噴霧劑殺死……”。

4. shame on you
是“不知羞恥，不知害臊”的意思。通常情況下在一個人很臉大的做了一件事時，我們就會說：Shame on you！

考考你

1. 公司為了減少開支，裁了很多人。
2. 在美國，很多女性已成為家里的頂梁柱了。
3. 真是不害臊，都多大了還撒嬌！
