【www.jianqiaoenglish.com--英语文化】

本片段剧情：经过婚礼上的一番厮打，Emma和Liv忽然间对这种争斗感到厌倦。Emma向Fletcher提出分手，并和Liv言归于好。婚礼进行曲再次响起，Liv挽着Emma的手向自己的未婚夫走去……

影片对白：

Fletcher: Emma, what the hell are you doing? Have you lost your mind? You just ruined our wedding. You happy now? Your friend? History. "Cause she"s a bad influence on you, and she always has been. Judging by that DVD, you"re a lot more like her than I thought.

Emma: Good. I hope so.

Fletcher: What?

Emma: Fletcher, you"ve been my friend for 10 years. I need you to be my friend now and tell me the truth. You"re in love with a girl that you met 10 years ago.

Fletcher: Hey, what"s the matter with that? Huh?

Emma: She"s not here anymore. I don"t want to spend the rest of my life fighting, Fletch. Or caving. Neither do you. We"re different. We want different things. You know that"s true, don"t you?

Fletcher: I knew.

Emma: Good-bye.

Liv: Oh, my God. Emma.

Emma: I"m fine.

Liv: This is all my fault. That video was never supposed to happen. I mean, it was supposed to happen, but I canceled it. I thought I did. "Cause I could never do that to you. Emma, you"re my best friend.

Emma: Oh, this fighting is so dumb. I"m so sorry about everything.

Liv: I"m sorry...too. I"m so sorry. If I ruined it for you, I don"t want it anymore.

Emma: If Fletcher and I were perfect for each other, then...we"d be getting married, and we"re not. Are you crying?

Liv: Yeah. It"s like a whole new me. And I just - I cry all the time. I"m kind of a basket case.

Emma: No, Liv, I didn"t want that. I"m sorry.

Liv: No. No, you were right. I don"t have to have it constantly together all the time. It"s like... this huge wake-up call. And I"m kind of stumbling around a little bit, but...I"m awake. Will you stand up there with me?

Emma: Where else would I be?

Wedding planner: Reset, people. Reset.

Emma: Oh, I almost forgot something.

Liv: Oh, my God. Em? here did you find that?

Emma: Two little girls saved it for us. Come on.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. cave: 让步，屈服。Emma意识到如果她的余生要在吵架和迁就中度过，那她宁可不要和Fletcher结婚。看一下例子：

The school committee caved in to the demands of parents.

（在家长的要求下，学校委员会最后屈服了。）

2. dumb: 愚蠢的。例如：Don"t be so dumb!（别犯傻了！）

dumb还有"沉默寡言"的意思，例如：He remained dumb, refusing to answer.（他保持着沉默，拒绝回答。）

3.basket case: 精神濒于崩溃的人。basket case还可以表示"失去四肢的人"、"完全伤残（或不能行动）者"和"处于无助境况的人（或事）"。请看例子：

The country was an economic basket case due to civil war.

（那个国家由于内战的关系，经济瘫痪。）

That manager has been a basket case here since his wife left him.

（自从太太离开他后，那位经理就变得意志消沉。）

4. wake-up call: 让人对某事有所警觉的事物。Liv的意思是因为她和Emma之间的争斗引发的情感崩溃让她对自己有了一个清醒的认识。

5. stumble: 失足，犯错。影片中Liv指她在过程中犯了些错误，但好在最终清醒了。看一下例子：The waiter stumbled several times over our order. （那位侍者好几次弄错了我们点的菜。）

stumble还有"偶然发现，碰巧找到"的意思。例如：

I stumbled upon the rare book in a second-hand bookstore.

（我在一家旧书店偶然找到这本珍贵的书。）

6. reset: 重新安置。影片中婚礼策划人请大家重新回到自己的座位上。请看例子：

reset bowling pins（把保龄球的木瓶重新放好）。
