影片对白 "Save The Shop Around The Corner and you will save your soul."

 

4. Over the top

这里的意思是“extreme, outrageous极端的,过分的”,例如:This comedian's style goes over the top. 这个喜剧演员的风格过于夸张了。

5. On the verge of

“接近于,濒临于”的意思,例如:I was on the verge of calling the doctor when he suddenly got better. 我正打算叫医生的时候,他突然好了一些。

6. Designer coffee

Anything "designer" - be it designer beer, designer sunglasses, designer jeans-usually is thought of as being made, produced, sold, conceptualised by a specific person or company that distinguishes it from other similar products and gives it an image of high culture, sophistication and elitism. So designer coffee should be more expensive and taste / look different compared to normal coffee.

7. Pill
俚语,指“讨厌的家伙”。

文化面面观

1. The Village Voice

The Village Voice is a free weekly newspaper in New York City featuring investigative articles, analysis of current affairs and culture, arts reviews and events listings for New York City. It is also distributed throughout the United States on a pay basis.

It was the first and is arguably the best known of the arts-oriented tabloids that have come to be known as alternative weeklies, though its reputation has been unstable since a recent buyout by publishing conglomerate New Times Media. The turbulent times its writers have covered has often been matched by the intrigue in its own offices, most recently including the firing of several high-profile contributors and a scandal over a forged story in 2005, the year the paper turned 50. The Voice's spirit can be captured in its 1980s advertising slogan: "Some people swear by us...other people swear AT us."

2. Herodotus 希罗多德

生于公元前484年,卒于公元前430年,《历史》一书的作者。Herodotus is often called "The Father of History." He was among the first to approach the reporting of history in a logical and skeptical way; he tried to separate true events from myth and made a point of identifying and commenting on his sources. It didn't hurt that he was a colorful writer and commentator; his most famous work, The Histories, remains a widely-read account of the Persian invasion of ancient Greece. (It's the main source for details on the famous battles at Marathon and Thermopylae.) Ironically, the details of Herodotus' own life are unclear. He is believed to have been born at Halicarnassus, on the Aegean Sea in Asia Minor, and to have travelled widely, collecting and recording stories as he went.
