        【剧情简介】再次溜上海面的Ariel见到了王子，此时船上众人正为王子庆祝生日呢。貌似王子刚刚拒绝了一桩所有人都看好的婚事，哎，他的真命天女此刻正在海里呢……
       
       
       
        【电影片段台词】
        - Happy birthday, Eric.
        - Uh, gee, Grim-- Ha' It's, uh-- It's-It's really somethin'.
        - Yes, I commissioned it myself. Of course, I had hoped it would be a wedding present.
        - Come on, Grim. Don't start. Look, you're not still sore because I didn't fall for the princess of Glowehaven, are you?
        - Oh, my! Oh, Eric, it isn't me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you happily settle down with the right girl.
        - Oh, she's out there somewhere. I just-- I just haven't found her yet.
        【重点词汇讲解】
        1. It's really something.  这真挺……真挺特别的哈
            something在这里是泛指某样你无法形容的东西~王子明显被这个生日礼物雷到了，但是又不好明说，只能打个马虎眼了~类似于我们平时说的“哎呀，看这生日礼物，真是，啧啧”，其实啥都没说……
        2. Don't start 你又来了
            字面意思是“别说了，别提了”。
        3. fall for the princess 爱上这位公主
            fall for sb.的这个词组很像中文里的“倾心于某人、为某人倾倒、拜倒在某人的石榴裙下”一类的说法，也是“对某人动心了”的口语表达，很地道哦。明显这里Ariel已经fall for the Prince了~
        4. settle down 安定下来
            一般我们说的结了婚安顿下来的表达，就是这个settle down，和四处漂泊的波西米亚式生活正相反。
