影片對白 It's because she's, she’s generous with herself. She's willing to risk her heart. No rules, no fear.
4. requires some handwaving
The term handwaving is an informal term that describes either the debate technique of failing to rigorously address an argument in an attempt to bypass the argument altogether, or a deliberate gesture and admission that one is intentionally glossing over detail for the sake of time or clarity. It can be meant as an accusation or in a more positive light, depending on the context.
在影片中，該詞表達的是“需要質疑、遭到批評”，所以我們可以看到之后Jocelyn反對Grigg的看法。
5. a big stallion
Stallion這個詞平時并不常用，一般出現在文學作品或書面語中，表示“種馬”，且專指牡馬（公馬。中國古人用“牡牝”表示“公母”）。順便提一句，西方神話故事中的獨角獸unicorn（也用這個詞指中國傳說中的圣獸麒麟），就是以現實中的stallion虛構出來的。
6．not give him the time of day
Not give someone the time of day 是個片語，意思是“ignore someone, refuse to pay the slightest attention to someone忽視某人，不愿理睬某人”，比如：He's tried to be friendly but she won't give him the time of day. 他試圖表示友好，但她不愿理睬他。
7. go for
本意是“aim or try for, especially making a vigorous effort”，這里是指“追求”。 They're going for the league championship. 他們在為聯盟冠軍奮斗。
文化面面觀
《理智與情感》（Sense and Sensibility）
《理智與情感》是簡?奧斯汀的一部代表作。從題目中就可以看出沖突，理智仿佛是情感的韁繩，當情感燃燒時，理智就會給人以痛苦。當感情崩潰時，理智又是那個拉人上岸的救命稻草。 當感情來臨，就有痛苦的危險；但感情是美好的，就算有危險，也要前行，即使傷痛終究難平。
Sense and Sensibility
i s a novel by Jane Austen that was first published in 1811. It was the first of Austen's novels to be published, under the pseudonym "A Lady." The novel has been adapted for film and television a number of times, most notably in Ang Lee's 1995 version.
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters with opposite temperaments. Traditionally, it has been viewed that 19 year old Elinor, the elder daughter, represents "sense" (reason) of the title, and Marianne , who is 17, represents "sensibility" (emotion). However this view is a very restricting one. On close inspection of the novel it can be seen that each sister represents different aspects of each characteristic.
Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwood by his second wife. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother named John. When their father dies, the family estate passes to John and the Dashwood women are left impoverished. Fortunately, a distant relative offers to rent the women a cottage on his property.
The novel follows the Dashwood sisters to their new home, where they experience both romance and heartbreak. The contrast between the sisters' characters is eventually resolved as they each find love and lasting happiness. (wikipedia)
我觀之我見
六本小說，六個人物，六種人生。無論時代怎樣變遷，人類還是走不出情感的迷城。孤獨半生的Jocelyn，一心想著要幫好友解脫單身，卻沒想到愛情已經悄悄來臨；失婚的Sylvia經歷了調整期后，發(fā)現其實一個人也可以過得很快樂，人生的圓滿最重要在于自己內心的充實強大；最有生活情調的Bernadette，雖然經歷了六次婚姻，仍然對人生滿懷著愛和希望，并且樂于撫慰別人，有她這樣的朋友實在是一件幸事；容易迅速投入愛情的Allegra，發(fā)現愛人背叛后，也會迅速跳出、尋找下一個愛人，這也不失為一種態(tài)度，因為人生匆匆呀；因為和丈夫沒有共同語言的Prudie，為一個小男生意亂情迷，最終還是理性獲得了勝利，和丈夫重歸于好；俱樂部里唯一的男士Grigg，堅持不懈贏得了真愛。
如果剔除掉奧斯汀，電影中的六種人生也是每天都在不同的地方上演的，可是因為有了奧斯汀的寓言，給這個故事增添了許多宿命的色彩，因為你知道，奧斯汀無論過程怎么艱苦，都會是大團圓結局的。這也許就是奧斯汀令人著迷的地方，她書中的故事總在現實中不斷重復，你也總能在書中發(fā)現自己。
