Annie: Oh, well, Walter, you will.
Walter: Your uncle Milton lost all of his money...

妙詞佳句
1. run off with sb.
在很多部電影中都聽到過這句話,雖然在日常生活中沒有用過,但是大家還是知道的好。它的意思就是“和……私奔”,或者再柔和一點:因爲感情的關係和另外的一個人生活在一起了。比如“傑克和他的前女友在一起了”就可以說成是 Jack ran off with his ex-girlfriend.
2. put the dog to sleep
這句話的表面意思是“把那隻狗給弄睡了”,實際上可不是這麼回事。這裏的dog 可不是狗的意思。在美國俚語中dog可以指醜女人。整句話的.意思就是“把那個女人給幹掉”。
我們來舉個例子:
如果你還不娶我的話,我就把那女的給殺掉。
If you don't marry me, I'll put the dog to sleep.
3. IRS: Internal Revenue Service
InternalRevenue Service (IRS)是美國財政部的一個機構,職能是執行稅收法。Revenues are collectedthrough individual income taxes; corporation taxes; excise, estate, andgift taxes; and social security taxes.
