影片對(duì)白

Paul: Hello.

Katherine：It's me.

Paul: Hey!

Operator: Collect from Katherine Watson. Will you accept?

Paul: Yeah; sure; of course I will. Hey, is everything okay?

Katherine: Yeah.

Paul: Tough , huh? Well, how are the classes? Snobs, right? I hate to say I told you so.

Katherine: You don't have to. I can't really talk right now. I'll write you tonight.

Nancy Abbey: So you got a fella?

Katherine: He's... He's there. I'm here.

Nancy: Long distance. Torture. I know. Come. Come in and sit down. When Lenny left for the South Pacific, it nearly broke my heart. We wrote every day until... He was a great man.

Katherine: I'm sorry. 

Nancy: It was a hundred years ago. I'm babbling.

Nancy: I love Lucy. Even if she is a communist.

Amanda Armstrong: The only thing red about Lucy is her hair. And even that's fake. Desi said it. Winchell wrote it. Amanda Armstrong. I see you survived.

Katherine: Katherine Watson. Just barely.

Nancy: Oh, good. You've met. Katherine's taken the third bedroom. How about a little dinner before What's my line ?

Amanda: How about a little drink?

Nancy: Her companion died in May.

Katherine: Companion?

Nancy: You know, companion. Josephine Burns. Taught biology here for 30 years.

Nancy: You'll love it here, Katherine. You'll see.

Katherine: I already do. I... Honestly, it's beautiful. It's perfect; really.

Amanda: Well, don't fool yourself. They have claws underneath their white gloves.

Katherine: Who?

Amanda: The alumnae; their offspring, the faculty. You name it. Watch out for yourself. Too much independence frightens them.

Nancy: Will you please stop?

Amanda: Oh, a word of advice. Don't let those girls know that they got to you.

Katherine: They didn't.

Amanda: Good for you. You almost convinced me.

妙詞佳句，活學(xué)活用

1. Collect　

這實(shí)際上是一個(gè)很簡(jiǎn)單的詞，希望大家了解這個(gè)熟悉的詞的比較容易被忽略的一個(gè)意思：由對(duì)方支付費(fèi)用的。Collect 本來(lái)是一個(gè)副詞，但是在口語(yǔ)里演變?yōu)槊~用法，等于省略的a collect phone call。所以以后當(dāng)大家自己在電話中聽(tīng)到了這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候，要明白這是要你自己付錢(qián)的電話哦。

2. Tough　

在這個(gè)片段里這個(gè)單詞的意思是“艱難；棘手”。但這實(shí)在是一個(gè)意思很多變的詞，所以想用幾個(gè)例子給大家加深一下印象：
She is a tough mother to her only son. 對(duì)于唯一的兒子來(lái)說(shuō)，她是個(gè)嚴(yán)厲的母親。
But she is also a tough customer while shopping. 但是購(gòu)物的時(shí)候，她也是個(gè)難伺候的顧客。
The beef we are eating is tough. 我們吃的牛肉有點(diǎn)嚼不動(dòng)。
Journalists raised a lot of tough questions in the press conference. 記者招待會(huì)上記者們提出了很多尖刻的問(wèn)題。
