【电影片段台词】
- Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation. True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man
Come on, you poor unfortunate soul！Go ahead! Make your choice! I'm a very busy woman，and I haven't got all day. It won't cost much，just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul！It's sad，but true. If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll. Take a gulp and take a breath，and go ahead and sign the scroll!
【重点词汇讲解】
1. dote on/swoon/fawn on
dote on sb.意为“宠溺”；swoon意为“迷恋”；fawn on sb.意为“讨……的欢心”——这简直是一个“恋爱过程三部曲”……
swoon愿意为“昏倒”，引申为“为……而迷恋痴狂”的意思。
另外，doting也可以作为形容词，如：He is a doting father. 他很宠自己的孩子。
2. hold her tongue
固定词组，意为“守口如瓶、嘴巴紧”
3. pay the toll 交过路费
toll就是我们过高速公路时要交的养路费，所以收费站就被称为the toll gate。这个词也可以表示“死亡人数”，如：
The death toll of the explosion has reached 200. 爆炸已经造成200人死亡。
4. take a gulp 深吸一口气
gulp作为动词还表示“狼吞虎咽”，如：He gulped down the food. 他大口大口地吃东西。
