Bridget: Who cares about the odd professional hiccup? The fact is I've
been in a functional relationship with an adult male for six wonderful weeks,
four fabulous days and seven precious hours, or to put it another way, 71 ecstatic shags . He's given up being snooty, and I've given
up smoking. Well, he thinks I have anyway, which is practically the same
thing... Mark Darcy is perfect. Not a fuckwit, alcoholic, workaholic, pervert or
megalomaniac, but total sex god and human rights lawyer. He is a miracle,
really.
Mark: Bridget, will you stop? Stop staring at me while I'm asleep. Go and
find something to do.
Bridget: Sorry. So, as you can see, the incredible truth is the wilderness
years are over. Bridget Jones is a love pariah no more.
Workmate: Morning, Bridget. Late again.
Bridget: Yes. Sorry. I was in bed with my boyfriend. He's a human rights
lawyer, you know.
Workmate: Yes, we know.
Bridget: I cannot believe how fantastic shagging was last night. Maybe I'll
ring him. No, no... Obviously it's important to tell one's boyfriend how nice he
looks naked, but I have crucial, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism to do.
Mark: Hello?
Bridget: It's me. Just wondered how you are.
Mark: I'm fine, thanks. Everything all right with
you?
Bridget: Fine, though, er... I've just had a rather graphic shag flashback.
And you do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.
Mark: Thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican ambassador, the head of
Amnesty international and the Undersecretary for Trade and lndustry. And
you're on speakerphone.
Bridget: Oh. Right, well... I'm quite busy with important stuff too...
妙詞佳句，活學活用
1．put it another
way
這里著重要講的是put這個詞。通常情況下put是放置的意思，除此之外，put還有“說，表達”的含義。put it another
way就是“換個說法”的意思，相當于我們學過的in other words。
2．shags
英國俚語，意思是have sex with someone。美國人很少這樣講。
3．Everything all right with you?
這句話可稱之為金牌句型，意思是“一切順利吧，一切還好吧”！如果一個朋友看起來有些神秘兮兮的，總是有話不說，吞吞吐吐。這時你就可以問他 Everything
all right with you?
4．be on speakerphone
speakerphone 是免提電話的意思。假設(shè)你正在看書，這時電話響了，你隨手按了免提鍵，就可以用到這句話了：You are on
speakerphone。我在用免提和你說話。
