文化面面觀     現代女子網球比賽，除了技術、速度與力量，獨具匠心、個性十足的服裝也是人們樂于談論的話題，甚至，很多人覺得女網比賽簡直就像時裝秀一樣，總是給人帶來驚喜甚至驚嘆。百年來，女子網球裙的變化可謂翻天覆地: 裙子越來越短，設計越來越性感。看看那些往日的黑白照，不由得要感慨這世界潮流變化的迅捷。

思想火花    “我一直認為我所扮演過的大多數角色都能找到更合適的人選來演，惟獨崔斯汀這個角色，我知道我是最佳人選。從我第一次看到劇本時就知道，我了解他的行為、他的心態，我的挑戰是如何讓觀眾也能認同我對他的看法。”

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. I've got a dollar that says he brings her back.

意思是：I make a dollar bet that he will bring her back.

2. Go easy on him

“不要把他逼得那么緊，對他寬容點”的意思。Easy 這個詞有“寬容的”的意思，例如：an easy teacher 一位寬容的老師。

3. Take over

本意是“接管”，這里是“你接著打”的意思。

4. Shiner

記得很多喜劇里面，女生對男友的不聽話非常惱怒，常常揮舞拳頭給男友兩個“大眼鏡”。這樣得來的“黑眼圈”就是 shiner。Shiner 還指因為碰傷、擦傷而在眼睛周圍留下的傷痕。而因為睡眠不足造成的黑眼圈則叫做 circles under one's eyes。

5. She's got me spinning.

遇到一個美女，感到頭暈目眩、天地失色？She's got me spinning. 就是這個意思。你可以拿這句話去奉承你的女友哦！

6. How did you break the mare?

Break 這里可不是“打斷、破壞”的意思，而是“馴服”。例如：That dog is difficult to break. 那條狗很難被馴服。
