4. on an impulse
“一時(shí)沖動(dòng)”的意思，比如：On an impulse he said, "Why don't you and I have dinner together?"
出于一種沖動(dòng)，他說：“為什么我們不一起去吃晚飯呢？”
5. Way to go
這個(gè)片語的意思是“做得好！加油！”，和 nice doing / well done 之類的意思差不多，比如：Daisy, keep your hands up. Way to go. Very good. Daisy，雙手保持抬高。就是這樣，很好！這是一個(gè)常常在一些競(jìng)賽活動(dòng)（球賽、賽車等）中都可以聽到的俚語，大家要趕緊學(xué)會(huì)哦！
6. My lease is almost up.
“我的房租快到期了。”有用的表達(dá)。
7. You're amazing.
“你真是太好了/太棒了。”也是很有用的表達(dá)。
文化面面觀
簡(jiǎn)?奧斯汀：平凡而又輝煌的人生
她的一生可以說是平淡的，作為一個(gè)牧師的女兒，生活在古老的英國，最終也是孤獨(dú)終老（當(dāng)然她死的時(shí)候還很年輕）。在那個(gè)對(duì)女性仍有偏見的年代，她的作品都是匿名發(fā)表的。在去世后，她的名字才開始為人所知。她的作品描寫的都是她熟悉的生活環(huán)境——18、19世紀(jì)的英國，然而小說里所分析和描寫的人情和人性和今天卻沒有什么不同。也許這也是為什么電影中的這些Californians 會(huì)選擇她的小說來拯救心靈吧。
Jane Austen
Born: 16 December 1775
Birthplace: Steventon, Hampshire, England
Died: 18 July 1817
Best Known As: The author of Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen's novels were witty, warm and ironic portraits of the privileged classes of 18th- and 19th-century England. Her best-known works are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Emma (1815). Austen was one of eight children of an English clergyman, and given her literary accomplishments she lived a remarkably quiet and domestic life in the rural south of England. She never married and was only 41 when she died. (Curiously, due to the lack of acceptance of women authors at the time, her major novels were published anonymously, and Austen was not associated with them until after her death.) The Pride and Prejudice heroine Elizabeth Bennet and her dashing suitor Mr. Darcy are one of the more famous couples in English fiction.
Austen's stories have long been favorites in Hollywood; recent screen adaptations include Pride and Prejudice (both a 1995 BBC TV production with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, and a 2005 feature film with Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet), Emma (1996, with Gwyneth Paltrow) and Sense and Sensibility (1995, with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet). The 1995 Alicia Silverstone movie Clueless is a whimsical takeoff of Emma. Austen herself was played by Anne Hathaway in the 2007 film Becoming Jane. The exact cause of Austen's early death has never been clear. In the last year of her life she suffered from fatigue, back pain, nausea and fevers as she gradually faded away. Addison's disease, Hodgkin's disease and tuberculosis have all been suggested as possible causes by modern-day scholars.
