追美劇《生活大爆炸》學(xué)口語(yǔ)(3)

　　劇情梗概：眾好友參與Rajesh的尋寶游戲，各個(gè)家庭被打亂分組，沉穩(wěn)的Leonard與一驚一乍的Bernadette 搭檔會(huì)是什么結(jié)果呢?

　　對(duì)話文字：

　　Leonard: Do you think Penny’s mad at me?

　　Bernadette: Because you’re in the right lane behind a bus and you won’t go around it? I’m sure she finds it charming.

　　Leonard: No, because I didn’t want her on my team.

　　Bernadette: I’m starting to think she *dodged a bullet, the slowest bullet in the world.

　　Leonard: Geez, I never realized you were so competitive.

　　Bernadette: Yeah, I know. It’s- it’s probably because I grew up with five brothers and sisters so I had to fight for every… Oh, my God, you did not just slow down for a bird! You know they fly right!?

　　對(duì)話精講：

　　dodge a bullet: dodge在英文里表示“躲開(kāi)，閃避”的意思，字面上看，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)想說(shuō)“躲過(guò)一顆子彈”，意思就是“躲過(guò)一劫”。 這里Bernadette是嫌Leonard開(kāi)車(chē)太謹(jǐn)慎，表示Penny幸好沒(méi)跟他分在一組。我們?cè)賮?lái)看一個(gè)例句：The island dodged a bullet when the hurricane turned south.(颶風(fēng)轉(zhuǎn)向南方，小島才逃過(guò)一劫。)
