Betty: So...you're ditching?
Justin: It's not a big deal. I'm missing P.E. and art. We're sketching fruit.
Betty: That's not the point. Justin, this place that you think is not so glamorous ... it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's people deceiving each other and... hiding things and all kinds of stuff that's not good for a kid to be around. Someday, maybe you'll end up working in a place like this, but you're not gonna get very far in life by lying. That's not who we are.
重點講解:
ditch 擺脫,拋棄
例句:She got bored with her boyfriend and ditched him. 她對她的男友感到厭煩了,于是甩掉了他。
glamorous 迷人的,獨特的
例句:They are not glamorous. No Marilyn Monroes. 他們并非美艷動人,絕不是瑪麗蓮•夢露的那種類型。
cracked up 忍受不了了
例句:I'm really cracked up. 我真是受不了了!
