【选段台词】

A Guy：Luisa, wa-wait, c'mon, c'mon, I'm telling you, I'm telling ya baby, you can't leave me. It's know, it's a past life thing or a future life thing, but ya know, it's you and me...

Luisa：Look. For the last hour, all I could think about was throwing you off your balcony.

A Guy：I mean, who the hell do you think you are? You write a bullshit column for a fuckin' rag.

Luisa：Elevator! Thank you. Nice to know the age of chivalry isn't dead. 

(Elevator stopped.)

Luisa：You okay?

Rufus：No bones broken, I think.

Luisa：Wait, wait. No, no. You sit... you sit, you sit. Let me see. Great. Power outage. Perfect end to a perfect day.

Rufus：Still glad the age of chivalry isn't dead?

Luisa：I still rather be right here than back up there.

Rufus：Guess Mr. Ganga isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Luisa：Guys like that are just an occupational hazard.

Rufus：You were interviewing him?

Luisa：Yeah, for Spyglass Magazine. Luisa Rey.

Rufus：Rufus Sixsmith. Rey... You wouldn't happen to be related to the journalist, Lester Rey?

Luisa：Yeah. He was my father.

Rufus：Really? He must have been enormously proud of you, following in his footsteps.

Luisa：Hmm.

Rufus：That's her, my niece, Megan.

Luisa：She's lovely.

Rufus：Born physicist, with a better mind for mathematics than I ever had. Did her PhD at cambridge, a woman at Caius. Gives you hope for the world.

Luisa：It's hot. And we're still here.

Rufus：That's a very peculiar birthmark.

Luisa：Yeah, my little comet. My mother swore it was cancer. She wanted me to get it removed, but I don't know, I kinda like it.

Rufus：I knew someone who had a birthmark that was similar to that.

Luisa：Really? Who was it?

Rufus：Someone I cared about very much. A, uh... A hypothetical question for you, Miss Rey. As a journalist, what price would you pay to protect a source?

Luisa：Any.

Rufus：Prison?

Luisa：If it came to that... yes.

Rufus：Would you be prepared to compromise your safety?

Luisa：My father braved booby-trapped marshes and the wrath of generals for his journalistic integrity. What kind of daughter would I be if I bailed when things got a little tough?

Rufus：Saved.

Rufus：Taxi! You sure you don't need a cab?

Luisa：No, I've got my car. Well, you know, if... there's ever something I can do for you, please give me a call.

Rufus：Thank you, I will.

Luisa：Bye.

【重点词汇】

1. power outage

当杂志记者Luisa乘上电梯时，电梯突然不动了，电梯里的两人都摔在了地上，Luisa问Rufus：“你没事吧？”Rufus说道：“骨头估计没断。”Rufus想爬起来看看怎么了，Luisa阻止了他，“不，不…你坐着，我来看看，这下好了，停电了，完美一天的完美结局。”“power outage”意为“停电”，“失去电力”。

2. one's cup of tea

“看来那位先生不是每个人的那道菜呀！”Rufus打趣道。“这样的人完全是职业危机，我采访他，为《小望远镜》杂志。”他们只是本部电影中主要角色中的两位，整部电影由片段构成，但又环环相扣，引人入胜。“one's cup of tea”意为“符合某人”，“是某人的菜”。

3. happen to do

当路易莎·雷和鲁弗斯·思科史密斯互相介绍自己之后，Rufus问道：“你不会碰巧和记者莱斯特·雷有关系吧？” “是的，他是我父亲。” “真的吗，想必他十分以你为傲。”“happen to do”意为“碰巧”，“恰巧”。

4. follow in one's footsteps

当Rufus知道了Luisa继承了她爸爸的职业，“想必他十分以你为傲，因为你继承了他的职业。”“follow in one's footsteps”意为“步某人的后尘”，“继承某人的职业”，“继承某人的衣钵”。整部电影十分引人入胜，每个人物之间都有微妙的关系，赶紧去看电影一饱眼福吧！
