妙語佳句 活學活用

1. unauthorized：未被授權的，未經許可的。這里是說格蕾斯等人“擅自”行動。

例如：The train made an unauthorized stop.（火車擅自停車。）

2. take fire: 本意是指“燃燒，著火”，這里是說“他們向我們開火了”。

與之相反，“停火”則用cease fire來表示。而be/come under fire并不是指處于炮火之下，它的意思是“受到嚴厲批評；遭到猛烈批判”。

3. crap：廢物、廢話。上校這里的意思是，格蕾斯等人逃跑了，這下可“糟了”。

例如：His speech was a load of crap.（他的演講詞廢話連篇。）

此外，crap還可以直接做動詞，表示“做傻事”，例如：He used to crap around like that.（他總做那樣的傻事。）

4. trauma：外傷。這里的trauma kit就是指“急救包”。

此外，trauma還可以表示“精神創傷”，例如psychic trauma就是指“心理創傷”。

5. bulk head：艙壁、隔框。

Bulk head一般用來指船艙、隧道、太空飛行器的隔離壁，以防止機艙在一部分損壞時水或空氣流入其它部分。

6. vortex：渦流。

此外，vortex還可以表示感情、局勢等的“漩渦”，例如：He was drawn into the vortex of politics. （他被卷入政治的漩渦中。）

7. fairy tale：童話故事。小朋友們喜歡聽Grimm's fairy tales（格林童話）。

例如：Their love story sounds like a fairy tale.（他們的愛情故事聽起來像童話。）引申開來，fairy tale還可以表示“不實之詞，謊言”。

8. outcast: 被驅逐者，被排斥者。

例如：The outcast boy was brought up by the government.（這個被遺棄的孩子是由政府撫養大的。）

9. boil down to: 簡化為，歸結為。

例如：The issue really boils down to a clash between left and right.（這場爭論確實可歸結為左派與右派之間的沖突。）

影片中 Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.這句話的意思是“人一輩子，有時就得靠一次瘋狂的舉動，才能扭轉乾坤。）
