Sleepless in Seattle 西雅图夜未眠（六）

Annie: Walter, there is something I have to tell you.

Walter: So he could be on top of the empire state building now.

Annie: No, I guess he could be. No. It s not him, Walter, it s me. I can t do this.

Walter: Look, Annie, I love you. But, let s leave that outta this. I don t wanna be someone that you re settling for. I don t wanna be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn t it?

Annie: Oh, Walter. I don t deserve^{1 you.}

Walter: No, I wouldn t put it that way. But, okay.

Annie: You okay?

Walter: Yeah.

Annie: Oh!

Walter: What?

Annie: Look! It s a sign

Walter: Who needed a sign?

Annie: Walter, I have to go.

Sam: Jonah, Jonah.

Jonah: Dad! Dad!

Sam: What if something had happened to you, what if I couldn t get to you.

Jonah: I m sorry, I m sorry.

Sam: What have I done? You re my family. You re all I ve got!

Jonah: I thought she d be here. I thought she d come.

Sam: We re doing ok, aren t we now? Are we ok? Are we all right? So far have I done something really stupid?

Jonah: No!

Sam: Have I screwed^{2 it up for both of us?}

Jonah: No!

Annie: Observation deck^3!

Doorkeeper: Sorry, ma am, but it s too late.

Annie: No, please, I really need to go up there.

Doorkeeper: We re closing up. No more runs tonight.

Annie: Listen, can I just take a look. There was someone I m supposed to meet. He s probably not there. But if I don t at least look, I ll always wonder about it.

Doorkeeper: Cary Grant^{4, right?}

Annie: You know that movie?

Doorkeeper: One of my wife s favorites.

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. Settle for

这句话是指“接受”的意思。要把它和accept区分开来，因为所谓的 settle for sth 指的是“勉强的接受……”。在此部电影当中，Walter 的意思就是：他不想成为任何人用来将就的对象。

2. Put it that way

大家可以把这句话变成 express it that way来理解，这样看的话就容易多了。这里的put 和 express 是一个意思。只不过put更口语化一点。

3. Get to you

Get 这个词虽然看着简单，但是也是我们在学习英文的过程当中比较头疼的词了，因为get可以和很多其它的词组合起来变成另外的意思。比如：

A. Get to you
指的就是我找不着你怎么办。Reach you可以和他进行替换。

B. Get together
意思是meet。通常我们会听到老外讲：Maybe we can get together sometime.

C. Get going / get moving
很常用的句型结构，当我们要离开的时候或者要走的时候用得到。怎么表达呢？I think I have to get going.

4. Cary Grant

Cary Grant 是在30，40年代美国比较有名的电影演员。曾演过《费城故事》、《抓贼》等一系列脍炙人口的影片。
