第二、短語學習
1. catch up
短語精講:《柯林斯詞典》解釋道:If you catch up on friends who you have not seen for some time or on their lives, you talk to them and find out what has happened in their lives since you last talked together. 可譯為:敘舊,了解近況。劇情中,是Daniel問Betty是不是找他和他的新助理通過吃飯聊她自己與男友Matt的事情。臺詞中說到的是catch us up on Matt with us,意思是和我們聊聊Matt的事情。
拓展范例:The ladies spent some time catching up on each other's health and families.
女士們花了點時間敘舊,聊了聊彼此的健康和家庭狀況。
She plans to return to Dublin to catch up with the relatives she has not seen since she married.
她打算回都柏林,去看望一下結婚后就再沒見過面的親戚。
2. get back together
短語精講:劇情中洛麗塔問到Betty是否和Matt的戀人關系恢復,他們兩人重歸于好,用到get back together。Get back意思就是回到(某種狀態),together是“一起”的意思,get back together在這里可以理解為:恢復友好關系,重歸于好。
