To rob the cradle 老少配

在这部电影里，我们可以用一个确切的短语来表示 Mrs. Robinson对本的追求和两人之间的关系: To rob the cradle 或者说Mrs. Robinson robbed the cradle. 这个俚语形容年纪较大的人追求年纪相差较大或很年轻的异性，与其谈恋爱或结婚。中文里老夫少妻和老妻少夫说的就是这个意思。但平时也可以当作一种夸张的，玩笑的说法。如：A forth-year boy is dating a freshman girl. He has robbed the cradle.一个大四的男生与一个一年的女生谈恋爱。简直是老少配嘛。

Mrs. Robinson对本的引诱进入了是步步紧逼，不由分说的阶段。而本则惊慌失措，仓惶躲闪。可以说是惊心动魄。几个回合下来，Mrs. Robinson愈发成竹在胸，势在必得。如果不是Mr. Robinson恰好赶回，后果是显而易见的。
