Jane: Sorry, I’m late.

Lester Burnham: Janie, today I quit my job and then I told my boss to go fuck himself and then I 1)blackmailed him for almost 60,000 dollars. Pass the 2)asparagus.
Carolyn: Your father seems to think this kind of behavior is something to be proud of.

簡(jiǎn)：對(duì)不起，我晚了。
凱洛琳•伯翰姆：不，不晚，親愛(ài)的，一點(diǎn)都不晚。你父親和我正在談?wù)撍裉斓墓ぷ?。為什么不把這件事告訴我們的女兒，親愛(ài)的？
萊斯特•伯翰姆：簡(jiǎn)妮，今天我辭職了，我告訴老板說(shuō)，去你媽的，然后我敲了他6萬(wàn)美元。把龍須菜遞給我。
凱洛琳：你父親好像覺(jué)得這種行為很讓人自豪。
萊斯特：你母親好像更愿意我像個(gè)囚犯似地過(guò)日子，可以把我的命根子藏在玻璃罐里，放在陰溝中。
凱洛琳：你怎么敢當(dāng)著孩子的面說(shuō)這種話。我真服了你了，在丟了工作的當(dāng)天還可以這樣藐視我。

萊斯特：我沒(méi)有丟，哦，我的工作哪去了，這不是那么回事。是我辭職！麻煩誰(shuí)把龍須菜遞給我。
凱洛琳：噢，哦，哦，哦，我還要感謝你讓我的負(fù)擔(dān)更重了，讓我成為唯一的面包供應(yīng)者。

萊斯特：我已經(jīng)有工作了。
凱洛琳：別，別，別再想誰(shuí)來(lái)支付抵押，把這一切都交給凱洛琳吧。你覺(jué)得你要負(fù)擔(dān)這一切了嗎，凱洛琳?是的，我不介意，我一點(diǎn)也不介意。你是說(shuō)所有的一切嗎？你不介意這都成為你一個(gè)人的責(zé)任，你丈夫覺(jué)得他可以就這樣辭職，你才不管會(huì)發(fā)生什么，沒(méi)門。
萊斯特：有人把他媽的龍須菜遞給我嗎？
簡(jiǎn)：我不想?yún)⒂谀銈兊臓?zhēng)吵。
萊斯特：閉嘴！我厭倦、討厭被人當(dāng)作沒(méi)這個(gè)人一樣。你們倆愛(ài)做什么就做什么去吧，隨時(shí)都可以做，我沒(méi)意見(jiàn)。現(xiàn)在我要的同樣是……
凱洛琳：噢，你沒(méi)意見(jiàn)。哦，請(qǐng)?jiān)?，?qǐng)?jiān)?，我沒(méi)有瘋。如果你沒(méi)意見(jiàn)，那這是什么？可以把笑聲測(cè)量?jī)x拿來(lái)，看看用它測(cè)出來(lái)的聲音有多大。你不知道這種樣子……

句子模仿秀
這句話用詞簡(jiǎn)單，但有多層含義，通常我們會(huì)用幾句話來(lái)表達(dá)。我們會(huì)說(shuō)我現(xiàn)在肩上的擔(dān)子重了，全家人就靠我賺錢養(yǎng)活。然而只用of一個(gè)單詞，就把兩句合成一句。這種妙用英語(yǔ)中比比皆是，希望多加注意。
