ACT 3-2 是Richard的膠卷。我是說(shuō)，Alexandra Pappas來(lái)了。

【故事梗概】

晚飯后，Richard 還在為丟失的膠卷沮喪不已。這時(shí)，門(mén)鈴響了，Robbie去開(kāi)門(mén)，發(fā)現(xiàn)來(lái)訪的是Alexandra。她送回了Richard忘記的裝膠卷的包。

Richard: I keep thinking about that bag of film. Eight rolls. A whole day’s work. And good stuff, too.

Ellen: Don’t worry, Richard. Someone will find it.

Robbie: I’ll get it. Hello.

Alexandra: Hello. Does Richard Stewart live here?

Robbie: Yes, he’s my brother. I’m Robbie... Robbie, Stewart.

Alexandra: I’m Alexandra Pappas. How do you do? Your brother left his bag of film on the ferry boat. I found it.

Robbie: I’m really glad to see you. I mean... my brother’ll be really glad to see you!

Ellen: Robbie ! Who is it?

Robbie: It’s Richard’s film! I mean, Alexandra Pappas. Come in, please.

Richard: Alexandra!

Alexandra: Hello, Richard. I found your bag!

Richard: Oh, thank you! Thank you!

【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】

1. I keep thinking about that bag of film.

我一直在想著那包膠卷。Keep doing...的意思是“一直在做...”

2. good stuff

不錯(cuò)的東西，這里是指丟失的膠卷都是拍得很精彩的。

stuff在口語(yǔ)中可以泛指任何東西，類(lèi)似漢語(yǔ)中“東西”的概念。

3. How do you do?

與人初次見(jiàn)面時(shí)的禮貌用語(yǔ)，多用于比較正式的場(chǎng)合。

4. I’m really glad to see you. I mean... my brother’ll be really glad to see you!

當(dāng)我們需要糾正我們的口誤時(shí)，可以使用"I mean..."（我是說(shuō)）

Robbie遇到美麗的Alexandra時(shí)，顯然有些語(yǔ)無(wú)倫次，把哥哥說(shuō)成了自己-"I’m really glad to see you."（我見(jiàn)到你真是高興。）于是馬上改口-"I mean... my brother’ll be really glad to see you!"（我是說(shuō)...我哥哥見(jiàn)到你一定會(huì)很高興！）

當(dāng)Ellen問(wèn)他"Who is it?"時(shí)，他又一次說(shuō)錯(cuò)了話-"It’s Richard’s film! "（是Richard的膠卷）隨后馬上糾正"I mean, Alexandra Pappas." (我是說(shuō)，Alexandra Pappas來(lái)了）
