影片对白 But,
you never talked to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like
me.
3. You've never particular warmed to me.
“你从来都没对我热情过”，这句话不能这么翻译，一定要反过来才可以：你一向对我都这么冷淡。举个例子：He's never particular warmed
to anybody. 他对谁都那样，冷冰冰的。
4. I had a real search for...
Search for... 指的就是“找……”。有时候我们说 search for 会觉得语言表达得不够生动，为了表示强调，就会说I had a real
search for...（我还真是费了好大的力气找了半天呢！）比如：I had a real search for my wallet. But I did
that in vain. 我费了好大的劲找我的钱包，但是还是没找到！
5. On the right track
在理解这句话的意思之前，我们要先看一下 track 这个词。通常情况下，track 指的是“路径”的意思，等同于
path。在英文当中我们有这样的表达，be on the right path 正确的道路上/已经有了正确的选择。on the right track
也是同样的意思。在本片断中的 We might be on the right track. 指的就是“我们也许选对了”。
6. Don't show it around.
在这里做“不要到处炫耀”解。show sb. around 常用的意思是“带某人随便转转”。比如：Since this is the first time
I'm in the capital of China, would you like to show me around or something?
这是我第一次到北京，你是否愿意带我转转？
文化面面观
Banoffee pie
Pie
是西方人喜欢的一道美食。它可不止是汉语中的“馅饼”那么简单。在西式糕点中，也有pie的一席之地。Banoffee pie is a dessert made
from biscuits, bananas, butter, cream and boiled condensed milk. Its name is a
portmanteau (合成词) constructed from the words "banana" and "toffee (太妃糖)".
Inventorship of the pie is claimed by Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie of The
Hungry Monk restaurant in Jevington, East Sussex. They claim to have invented
the pie in 1972, and the restaurant's exterior bears a plaque to that effect.
The recipe was never patented, however, and in 1994 a number of supermarkets
began selling it as an American pie, leading Dowding and Mackenzie to offer a
?10,000 prize to anyone who could disprove their claim.
There is some discussion over the best spelling for the pie's name; The
Hungry Monk preferring "banoffi" where the logical etymological spelling would
be "banoffee", to correspond with "toffee". Other variations include "banoffy"
and "bannofie".
