本片段劇情：自從和蘇西分手后，本發(fā)現(xiàn)自己怎么也睡不著了。為了消磨漫漫長夜，本決定到超市上夜班，把多出的時(shí)間換成金錢。

影片對白：

Ben: After my breakup with Suzy, I just couldn't fall asleep anymore. The more I tried to sleep, the less tired I felt. I was wide awake. I tried everything. I'd just become immune to sleep. I suddenly found I had eight extra hours. My life had been extended by a third. I wanted time to pass quickly, but instead I was forced to witness the passing of every second of every hour. I wanted the hurt I felt to go away. But in some cruel trick of events, I now had even more time on my hands. More time to think about Suzy.

TV: Would you mind getting out? Just checking that wheel?

Ben: I took the bus with no real place to go. I watched the landscape slowly change as it clung to the last hours of sunlight, before leaving me to get another sleepless night. I started to read all the books I wished I'd had time to read. With the extra hours, I even had time to reread my favorite ones. But she was never far from my mind.

Sharon: Two pounds 75, please.

Ben: Ah, how much is it without these two?

Sharon: One pound 70.

Ben: It was getting obvious that I needed to trade some of my time.

Mr. Jenkins: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mmm, mmm, mmm. It all looks fantastic, man. I think you'll fit in very well here. It's a great feeling inside, Ben. It's marvelous. We hope you've enjoyed reading about what it's like to be part of Sainsbury's and listening. I know, I've been through this with you. There's so many opportunities, Ben. It's a life thing. (Voice fading)

Ben: I could feel a faint shift in a faraway place. A current of unknown consequences was on its way moving towards me like an unstoppable wave of fate.

Mr. Jenkins: T-e-a-m-w-o-r-k. Work. Teamwork, Ben. Welcome aboard.

Ben: And so I started working the night shift at Sainsbury's. During the hours most normal people are sleeping, I'm busy trading my time. I give them my extra eight hours, and they give me money. Cash back.

妙語佳句 活學(xué)活用

1. be immune to: 對……免疫，對……有免疫力。immune也可以表示“不受……影響的”。請看例子：A full life is immune against boredom.（充實(shí)的生活無膩煩之虞。）

2. cling to: 緊緊抓住。請看例子：She wore a silk dress that clung to her figure.（她穿了一件緊身的絲綢衣服。）

cling to也常用來表示“堅(jiān)持，忠實(shí)于”。看一下例子：

After so many years, he was clinging to the hope that she would return.

那么多年后，他還抱著她會(huì)回來的希望。

3. be through: 完成。through也可以作形容詞用，be through with sth.可以表示“完成、結(jié)束了某事”，也可以表示“和某人斷交，戒絕某事物”。例如：

Are you through with your letter?（你信寫完了嗎?）

Pearl and I are through.（珀?duì)柡臀掖盗恕＃?/p>

4. Welcome aboard: 歡迎加入我們。onboard是“上船，上車，上飛機(jī)”的意思，在這里是比喻用法。類似的用法還有：We are on/in the same boat.（我們是一根線上的螞蚱。）

5. night shift: 夜班。同理，day shift則是“日班”。shift有“輪班”的意思。看一下例子：She works on the night shift.（她上夜班。）

shift還可以表示“手段，辦法，權(quán)宜之計(jì)”，例如：The lazy man tried every shift to avoid doing his work.（這懶漢采取各種手段回避工作。）
