[Robert opens the newspaper to see a picture of the Titanic. Lady Mary and Lady Edith enterand read over his shoulder.]

We dined with Lady Rothfuss last month.
上個(gè)月我們和Rothes夫人一起用過餐
Robert: There are bound to be others.
肯定不止這些
Edith:I thought it was supposed to be unsinkable.
我還以為這船不會(huì)沉
Robert: Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.

情景模式：
1. 情景：西方人非常崇拜上帝，經(jīng)常會(huì)說“愿主保佑......”，這句話就這么說：
God help sb. (+clause).
源于臺(tái)詞：Robert: God help the poor devils belowdecks.
2. 情景：自己的親人去世，無疑是悲痛，但是死是無法避免的，我們會(huì)對逝去的親人祝福在天堂中過著比生還時(shí)更幸福的生活。我們這樣表述：
On one’s way to a better life.
源于臺(tái)詞：Robert: On their way to a better life.
3. 情景：我們生活的世界中，沒有絕對性的東西。倘若有人以絕對論來說這個(gè)世界的事物，你可以用劇中Robert的經(jīng)典話語駁斥：
Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship is unsinkable untilit sinks.
源于臺(tái)詞：Robert: Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship isunsinkable until it sinks.
4. 情景：有人求助于你幫忙，你可以幫得到，但是可不要打包票，即使能百分之百的能幫得了，也給自己留點(diǎn)余地，不妨套用下面的這個(gè)句型：
I am afraid (that)+clause.
源于臺(tái)詞：Carson: I'm afraid we'll know some people on it.
