Big Red: What are you doing? You're wrecking everything I built !
Aaron: It's not totally her fault. I was the one whohooked up--
Big Red: This season should have been gravy, okay? I handpicked the squad, I delivered an idiot-proof routine. Platter, nationals, hello!
Torrance: Don't you mean a stolen routine?
Big Red: Oh. Don't be so naive, Torrance. Look, the truth is I was a real leader, okay? I did what I had to do to win at nationals, and ever since I handed the reins over to you, you've run my squad into the ground! If I made any mistake as a squad leader, it wasn't borrowing cheers. It was announcing you as my successor.
Torrance: Let me go. I just wanna get out of here.
Aaron: Hey, Big Red's a bitch. We all know that. Even she knows that.
Torrance: I don't know what to do here, Aaron.
Aaron: Look. I know I haven't always been there for you since I went to college. It's been a rough transition, for both of us. But I still care about you as much as I ever did. You know that, right?
Torrance: You do?
Aaron: Of course. Which is why I hate to see you like this, all stressed out. It's not good for you. You're a great cheerleader, Tor, and you're cute as hell. It's just that maybe--Maybe... you're just not captain material, and there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe you should consider letting Courtney and Whitney take over the squad. They're just like Big Red.
Torrance: You want me to give up captain?
Aaron: Hey, let them deal with the politics. You just do what you do best, Tor. You cheer. Cheer, Tor. Okay?
妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. hook up
hook 在用作動詞時有“鉤住”的意思，而詞組hook up 則是“聯(lián)系”的意思，電影中Aaron在為Torrance解圍說：“這并不能完全怪她，是我讓她聯(lián)系（那個舞蹈教練的）。”我們再來看例句：
The BBC is hooked up with Australian television by satellite.
英國廣播公司通過衛(wèi)星與澳大利亞電視實行聯(lián)播。
2. I handed the reins over to you, you've run my squad into the ground!
這是Big Red 特別氣憤地指責(zé)Torrance時說的話，意思是：“我把指揮權(quán)（領(lǐng)導(dǎo)權(quán)）轉(zhuǎn)交給了你，你卻把整個團隊都搞砸了！”Rein 這個詞本意是“韁繩”的意思，這里引申為“統(tǒng)治，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)”之意。比如：You must learn to rein in your temper. 你必須學(xué)會控制你的脾氣。
Run into the ground 這個片語的意思就是“ruin or destroy 毀壞，破壞”，比如：During her brief time as chief executive Marjorie just about ran the company into the ground. 在短暫的首席執(zhí)行官任期中，馬喬里幾乎把公司搞砸了。
