Ｄｏｎｎａ No, back to bed. Come on.
Pocahontas is off duty. You getting sick,
sheriff?
Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ I don't got time to be sick, so no. I
need to watch this documentary on Asian
architecture.
Ｄｏｎｎａ Well, you gotta get some rest
sometime, sweetheart. Besides, the woodland creatures will
laugh at you if you collapse trying to put up the tent this
weekend.
Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ Yeah. I forgot to tell you. We gotta
postpone the camping trip. Ammer put me on a project. It's due
Tuesday. If I don't finish this design, I'm off it,
so...
Ｄｏｎｎａ The kids have been talking about camping all
year.
Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ Think I don't know that? It's just every
choice I make, everything I do, I disappoint
somebody.
Ｄｏｎｎａ So, maybe make sure you don't keep
disappointing the wrong people.
Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ Honey, I'm not
out drinking or gambling or hitting on chicks. I'm working my
ass off so my family can have a better life than I've dreamed
about when I was a kid. The only way for that to happen is for
me to watch this stinking show! So relax, hon. Ah! Are you
kidding me? Will you give me a break one time? Damn it! The
O'Doyles got a stinking universal remote control. We're gonna
have one too. I'm sick of this.
...
Ｍａｎ Actually,
yes. I don't have any friends. Will you be my friend? Wow,
wow, man.
Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ Bed. Bed. Bath. Bath. Bed. So tired of
my life. Beyond? Sorry to sneak up on you. I just... You guys
got a universal remote control back here?
Ｍｏｒｔｙ Something
stinks like stale French fries.
妙语佳句 活学活用
1. Off
duty
这个片语我们并不陌生，off duty 的意思是“not at one's post or work;
at liberty”，例如：They spent their days off duty in hiking and
fishing.
off duty 的反义词就是on duty，意为“At one's post, at
work”，例如：The new nurse was on duty that evening.
2.
Be off
Be off 有“Be free from work, school, or some other
regular occupation”的意思，在这个电影片段中Michael
的意思是如果他不能在到期之前完成设计的话，他就不能再做这个设计工程了。我们来看个例子：The secretary is
off today, but perhaps I can find it.
3. Give
someone a break
Give someone a break 在这里的意思是“Stop trying
to fool or upset or bother someone”，例如：Don't tell me the
party's been postponed again--give me a break!
这个片语通常表达的是一种带有滑稽意味的愤怒。
4. Sneak
up
这个片语的意思是“advance stealthily or
unnoticed鬼鬼祟祟、偷偷摸摸地行事”，例如：Age creeps up on you. | | |
