影片对白

Sara Melas: What is it about guys that makes them want to screw anything that walks even when they're going out with someone as awesome as Allegra Cole? I mean she's only the most fabulous thing walking around New York. Thanks, Young. Are you kidding? Of course I'm gonna run it. Why should shewaste her heart on some Swedish aristo-brat? Even if he is gorgeous. Hei, if he's stupid enough to cheat, the world should know he's dumb enough to get caught. Exactly. I'm in the elevator. See you in a minute.

Woman: Good morning, how are you?

Geoff: Bitter, party of one.

Sara: You should try it sometime.

Geoff: Barbados by myself? I wouldn't last five minutes.

Sara: It was just what the doctor ordered. I slept in, I did my yoga, I read a couple of books, I flirted with my scuba instructor.

Geoff: And apparently never left the office.

Sara: I know, isn't that great?

Geoff: You should've taken someone with you.

Sara: Who! Who am I gonna take with me?

Geoff: This is where a boyfriend comes in handy.

Sara: I don't have time for a boyfriend.

Geoff: You said that two years ago.

Sara: Yes, and it's as true today as it was then.

Man: Hi!

Sara: Hi!

Man: I thought you were on vacation.

Sara: See if these are in focus and have them in my desk in an hour. Besides, relationships are for people they’re just waiting for something better to come along.

Max: Spoken like a true cynic.

Sara: I'm not a cynic. I'm a realist.

Max: You are a realist masquerading as a cynic who is secretly an optimist. What are you doing here? What is she doing here?

Sara: She works here, remember?

Max: No, she doesn't. Not for another four days.

Sara: This couldn't wait.

Max: Of course it could. What are you doing? Go back to the beach. I don't want you here.

Sara: No, really, you do.

Max: You are becoming a sick, workaholic lunatic and this is exactly the kind of nervous, overwrought behavior that leads to--

Sara: Pictures of Sebby with a busty brunette.

Max: A very, very big raise. Jesus. You could find dirt in a snowstorm.

Sara: Comes with the job.

Max: You know, kiddo, there is more to life than watching other people live it.

Sara: Can I help he was cheating on my beach?

Max: Hei. I think it's great that you're so good at your job. I'm just a little worried as to why.

妙语佳句，活学活用

1. Awesome

老美在俚语中常用awesome 形容某件事情“remarkable，outstanding”，在不同的场合中可以翻译成“好极了，酷毙了”等等。Allegra Cole 是社会名媛，所以Sara说她awesome。

2. Run

这里的run 是指“追踪（新闻消息，报道）”，例如：Paris Hilton was seen with a man together? I’ll run it? 帕里斯•希尔顿和男人一起出现？我要追踪这个消息。

3. Waste one’s heart on someone

就是我们说的“对某人浪费感情”啦！例如：Why should you waste your heart on such a playboy? 你干嘛要在这样一个花花公子身上浪费感情？

4. Sleep in

Sleep in 可以指有意或无意的“睡过头”，例如：

I missed the morning train because I slept in. 我错过了早班火车，因为我睡过头了。

After this week's work, I will sleep in on Saturday. 干完这周的工作，周日我要多睡一会儿。

5. Come in handy

这个片语的意思是“有用的，方便的”，影片中的这句话可以理解成：This is where a boyfriend comes in handy. 这就是有个男朋友的好处啊。

6. You could find dirt in a snowstorm.

在暴风雪里面找粒尘土难不难？当然是很难了。所以这句话的意思就是“你太厉害了”。

7. Cheat on

这个片语的意思是“不忠”，例如：They broke up right after she found he was cheating on her. 她发现他对她不忠后，就立刻和他分手了。

这里Sara 是说Allegra Cole的男友在她度假的海滩上和别的女人鬼混。作为一个工作狂的八卦专栏作家，Sara 当然不会放过这样的头条。

文化面面观

Barbados：旅游胜地巴巴多斯

巴巴多斯是一个风景秀丽的珊瑚岛，犹如一颗晶莹的珍珠闪烁在碧波荡漾的加勒比海上。这里全年气候温暖如春，风光奇秀，是驰名世界的旅游胜地。终年日出时间是早上4点，日落时间是晚上18点，全年平均日照时间达3000小时，所以被称为“阳光富翁”。

Barbados is an island state in the West Indies. The capital and largest city is Bridgetown.

The island, E of St. Vincent, in the Windward Islands, is the easternmost of the Caribbean islands. It is low and rises gradually toward its highest point at Mt. Hillaby (1,104 ft/336 m). Although there is ample rainfall from June to December, there are no rivers, and water must be pumped from subterranean caverns. About 90% of the population is of African descent, 4% are of European descent, and about 6% are of Asian or mixed descent. English-speaking, the majority of Barbadians are Protestant.

The porous soil and moderate warmth are excellent for the cultivation of sugarcane, which was historically the island's main occupation. Today, sugar and molasses remain important products and are the country's largest exports. The healthful and equable climate makes it a very popular tourist resort, and tourism is the country's largest industry. Manufacturing (largely chemicals, electrical components, clothing, and rum) and banking are growing sectors of the economy. The United States, other Caribbean islands, and Great Britain are the main trading partners.

Although it was probably originally inhabited by Arawaks, it was uninhabited when the English expeditionaries first settled there in 1627 (1605, according to local tradition). Barbados remained a British colony until independence was granted in 1966. During the 19th century it was the administrative headquarters of the Windward Islands, but in 1885 it became a separate colony. It later was a member of the short-lived West Indies Federation (1958–62). The island became an independent associated state of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1966. The bicameral parliament consists of a 17-member Senate appointed by the governor-general and a 17-member elected House of Representatives. The Democratic Labor party (DLP) held power from 1986 until 1994, when the Barbados Labor party (BLP) won a legislative majority; Owen Arthur became prime minister. Arthur and the BLP retained power after the 1999 and 2003 elections.
