影片對(duì)白

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrival's gate at Heathrow airport.General opinion start to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed. But I don't see that, seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriend, girlfriend, old friends. When the plane hit the Twin Tower, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge. They are all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling love actually is all around.

妙詞佳句，活學(xué)活用

1. Get gloomy with sth.

Gloomy 這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該算得上是個(gè)常用詞匯了，因?yàn)槊慨?dāng)心情不好的時(shí)候，我們就會(huì)用得到，比如：What's going on? You look gloomy today. 當(dāng)然我們也可以說 sth is gloomy，打個(gè)比方， Our future is gloomy. 指的就是“前途暗淡！”而短語(yǔ) get gloomy with sth 指的是對(duì)某種東西感到焦慮，甚至有時(shí)是到了憂郁的地步。原文當(dāng)中的這句話 I get gloomy with the state of the world. 指的就是"對(duì)世界的現(xiàn)狀感到焦慮！"

2. It's not particularly dignified or newsworthy

如果要完全理解這句話，我們首先要看一下dignified 這個(gè)詞，通常情況下，在我們的意識(shí)里dignified 這個(gè)詞指的是“有尊嚴(yán)的，高貴的”。但是在這里意思就完全不一樣了，它指的是“使夸大……”。下一個(gè)詞 newsworthy 的意思是“具有新聞報(bào)道價(jià)值的”。那么把整個(gè)一句話連起來的意思就是“這種愛沒有被特意夸大或者有新聞價(jià)值！”

3. It's always there
“它一直都在那兒”! 看似簡(jiǎn)單的一句話，卻很少有人能在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候用好。我們先設(shè)定一個(gè)場(chǎng)景：有些人在遇到困難的時(shí)候總是會(huì)選擇逃避，雖然大家心里都清楚躲是躲不了的，其實(shí)我們還有另外一條路可以走，那就是戰(zhàn)勝困難，一直向前。因?yàn)? The difficulties are always there, and the only choice we've got is to face it and conquer it.

4. On board
很簡(jiǎn)單的短語(yǔ)，“在飛機(jī)上”！

Heathrow airport 倫敦希斯羅機(jī)場(chǎng)

London Heathrow Airport, often referred to as Heathrow, is the third busiest airport in the world, after Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Chicago O'Hare. And Heathrow, however, handles more international passengers than any other airport. Heathrow is the United Kingdom's busiest and best-connected airport, as well as being Europe's largest.對(duì)于去過希斯羅機(jī)場(chǎng)的人來講，留給他們印象最深的應(yīng)該是處在機(jī)場(chǎng)terminal 3中的眾多世界級(jí)的品牌店。之所以印象深刻，是因?yàn)檫@些店基本都是duty-free shop, 所以盡管是頂級(jí)品牌，價(jià)格也相對(duì)來講會(huì)便宜一些。從這個(gè)角度來講，希斯羅機(jī)場(chǎng)不僅是一個(gè)交通點(diǎn)，還是一個(gè)購(gòu)物天堂！
