        【内容简介】
        《谍影重重4》上映了不久，虽然有观众认为和前三部的剧情有点接不上，所以并不感兴趣，但是《谍影重重4》还是获得比较肯定的评价。继杰森·伯恩后，另一美国中情局特工艾伦•克劳斯Aaron Cross（杰瑞米·雷纳 Jeremy Renner 饰）亦将身陷险境。选段中，因为YouTube上的一段视频，令中情局的高官警铃大作，为了隐瞒他们所要隐藏的秘密，他们正准备做好最坏打算，计划铲除过去数十年来发展的特工行动……
        【选段台词】
        Dan: Today, I have the honor of introducing the man who is going to introduce our guest of honor. Bert? Doctor Albert Hirsch.
        Bert: I first met Dan Hillcott in 1987 at what must have been the most boring neuropsych conference ever held. We managed to escape that dreary ballroom and find a dark corner and a cold beverage. And we've been finding dark corners ever since.
        Albert: My God.
        Noah: Where did you find this?
        Ric: YouTube.
        Noah: I thought we had everything firewalled.
        Ric: Yeah, so did I. But then again, I thought the CIA would handle Treadstone, so maybe I'm just behind the curve.
        Noah: Hmm.Well, is that it? Is that all of it?
        Ric: No, no. They apparently thought it was okay to attend about a half a dozen of these things together.
        Noah: Proving what?
        Ric: We're looking at the medical directors of Treadstone and Outcome publicly celebrating their top secret man-crush. If this Bourne mess exposes Treadstone, they will turn Hirsch inside out. They'll be talking to Hillcott before we even know what happened.
        Albert : What's the damage?
        Ric: Outcome. We'd lose Outcome.
        Noah: Uh, meaning what?
        Ric: Meaning we will burn the program to the ground. And I mean from top to bottom.
        Noah: Because of this? Because they're friends? These two guys built our platform!
        Albert : You want to wake up and see this on CNN?
        Noah: Jesus, Ric. Just like that? Hirsch and Hillcott? How many people even understand this work, let alone have the will to pursue it? Nothing has even happened yet!
        Ric: And we have to get ready.
        Noah: Ready for what? Ready for what?
        Ric: We don't lose it all, we've got the science. We'll keep the data. All of our JSOK liaisons seem to be safe. We've got the beta programs tucked away. We'll take a pause, and we'll rebuild it. I wish there was a better alternative, but...
        Noah: God.

        【重点词汇】
        1. behind the curve
        “我本认为电脑里装了防火墙，它们失效了吗？”“是啊，我也奇怪，我本以为中情局能摆平一切，现在看来我太天真了。” “behind the curve”的意思为“后知后觉”，“落于计划之后”。相对的“ahead of the curve”为“处于领先位置”,“超出平均水平”,“总体上表现优越”的意思。
        2. turn sth. inside out
        “绊脚石计划和收获计划的医疗主管，在公开场合暴露他们绝密的私人关系，如果伯恩揭露了绊脚石计划，赫胥就会被查个底朝天，然后顺藤摸瓜，牵扯出希尔科特。” “inside out”是固定用法，表示把一样东西内部的东西翻到外面来，这里引申为“把……查的清清楚楚”。
        3. from top to bottom
        “会有什么损失？”“收割计划，前功尽弃了。”“什么意思？”“意思是，我们要销毁项目，彻彻底底。”“from top to bottom”字面上的意思为“从上到下”，可引申为“彻彻底底”, "整个地".
        4. tuck away
        “也不是全部，资料还在，相关的数据，其他的相关人员还是安全的，我们把测试计划隐藏起来，保持低调，回头再重建。我也希望有更好的选择，可是……”“tuck away”在此中意义为“ 隐藏在（寂静的）地方”，“使隐藏，被收藏（be tucked away）”，还有别的意思如：“（非正式）大吃（尤指狼吞虎咽美美的吃）”。
