Grandpa: Olive, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole world.

Olive:Nah, you're just saying that.

Grandpa: No, I'm not. I'm madly in love with you. And it's not because of your brains or your personality. It's because you're beautiful, inside and out.

Olive: Grandpa?

Grandpa: What?

Olive: I don't want to be a loser.

Grandpa: You're not a loser. Where'd you get the idea you're a loser?

Olive: Because Daddy hates losers.

Olive: Yeah.

Grandpa: Well, then, you're not a loser. We're gonna have fun tomorrow, right?

Olive: Yeah.

Grandpa: We can tell 'em all to go to hell. Good night, sweetie. I love you.

妙语佳句,活学活用

1. Blow out of the water

这个片语挺有趣的,它的意思是"defeat decisively",起源于19世纪中期的海军,最初的意思是"将敌方的军舰打成碎片",现在用来指各种各样的"打败"对手,例如:With a great new product and excellent publicity, we could blow the competition out of the water.

此外,blow out of the water 还可以表示"surprise greatly",例如:I was blown out of the water when I heard that I was promoted.

2. Nah, you're just saying that.

Nah 这里表示"no",you're just saying that 的意思是"你不过是说说罢了",这可是一句很实用的口语,赶紧记下来哦!

3. Back up

Back up 这个片语有很多意思,我们来一一看一下:
a. to bring (a stream of traffic) to a standstill 停止,例如:A stalled car backed up traffic for miles. 影片中采用的也是这个意思,爷爷叫Olive"先不要哭"。
b. to move backward 后退,例如:Back up into the garage.
c. to reinforce 加固,例如:We backed up the cardboard with slats so it wouldn't fall down.
d. to support or confirm 支持,例如:He backed up my story and they let us go.
e. Computers. to duplicate (a file or a program) as a precaution against failure 备份,例如:Have you backed up the files in the computer?
