Gone with the Wind
《乱世佳人》
(Scarlett takes Ashley by the sleeve, pulls him into the room, closes
the door.)
| Rhett: |
|
Has the war started? |
| Scarlett: |
|
Sir, you … you should have made your presence
known! |
| Rhett: |
|
In the middle of that beautiful love scene? That
wouldn't have been very tactful, would it? But don't worry, your secret
is safe with me. |
| Scarlett: |
|
Sir, you are no gentleman! |
| Rhett: |
|
And you, miss, are no lady. |
| Scarlett: |
|
Oh! |
| Rhett: |
|
Don't think I hold that against you. Ladies have
never held much charm for me. |
| Scarlett: |
|
First you take a low, common advantage of me,
then you insult me! |
| Rhett: |
|
I mean it as a compliment （恭维）… and I hope to
see more of you when you're free of the spell of the thin-blooded
Mr. Wilkes. He doesn't strike me as half good enough for a girl of
your … What was it? … Your passion for living. |
| Scarlett: |
|
How dare you! You aren't fit to wipe his boots! |
| Rhett: |
|
And you were going to hate him for the rest of
your life! |
| (Scarlett flings out of the room, slamming the door behind her.) |

From Bad to Worse
At an expressway (高速公路) toll station
(收费站), a policeman stopped a car, "Congratulations! Yours is the
millionth car to have passed this highway. By the way, how are you going
to spend the one thousand dollar bonus
(奖金)?" "Hah, hah, hah, I'm gonna buy a driver's license
(驾驶执照) first!" said the driver. "Really?" the surprised
policeman asked. "Don't believe him, officer," said the driver's
wife, "He's drunk (喝醉了). He did
drink a lot of whisky." "Really?" the surprised policeman
asked.
