影视英语|BJ单身日记 2（四）

Bridget: I've never been happier in my entire life. However, must not obsess^{1 or fantasise. Bridget Darcy. Mrs. Darcy. Mr. and Mrs. Darcy. Lord and Lady Darcy. Wonder what Mark Darcy would be like as a father. Father to his children, I mean, not to me. That would be a weird2, Oedipus-like thought. At last, life is on track. Bridget Jones, fianc, wife, mother. Bugger.}

Cleaver^{3: Ever fancied doing it in the dark with a total stranger? All right, perhaps not a total stranger.}

Bridget: Back off, Cleaver, or I'll report you to a sexual harassment^{4 tribunal. I'm a serious journalist.}

Cleaver: Is that your most serious skirt, Jones?

Bridget: Oh... Do you like it? I thought you hated television.

Cleaver: I hate watching television. Being on it is, hello, an entirely^{5 different position.}

Bridget: Daniel thought the Madrid piece was outstanding, full of instinct, really really original.

Cleaver: Cheers, Jeremy. Thanks, I really appreciate that. That's really a hard work, that one. Tosser. Talking of which, how is Mark Darcy? You still...?

Bridget: Yes, I am. And I intend to be for a very, very long time.

Cleaver: Good. Excellent. You know what a fan I am of any woman married to Mark Darcy.

Bridget: That's not funny.

Cleaver: Seriously, Jones, speaking purely^{6 unselfishly, I worry about you. You do know that it's knowledge of fact that most lawyer's wives die of boredom7?}

Bridget: What about you? Still shagging anything that moves?

Cleaver: As a matter of fact, no. No shagging whatsoever^{8. I'm in shag therapy. It turns out I have a problem. I go to meetings, talk about my feelings. Hug people who smell.}

Bridget: I don't believe you.

Cleaver: I'm trying... to be a better man, Bridget, so that the next time a better woman comes along, I won't make a pig's ear of it.

妙词佳句，活学活用

1． Life is on track.

生活步入正轨，没其他的烦心事了，这个时候就能用这句话：Life is on track.

2． Back off

离开的意思。英国人比较喜欢说这个词，但它和get out 是不同的。get out指的是出去，或者更气愤一点时，指的是滚。但back off更多是指离我远点。

3． Make a pig's ear of it

这是英国人喜欢用的一种不正式的表达方法，意思是做错某事。而在此句当中，I won't make a pig's ear of it. 指的就是我不会再做错事了。
