Paul Maclean: What are they biting on?

Norman Maclean: Louder!
Paul Maclean: I said...
Norman Maclean: Bunyan Bugs! Want me to bring you one?

妙語佳句,活學活用
1. make a killing:字面意思是“殺,殺戮”,實際上表示“大賺一筆”,在本劇中又可以理解成:“你肯定會大有收獲(你會釣到很多魚)。”可以用make a big/final killing來加重語氣,表示大賺特賺。來看具體用法:
Albert made a killing in real estate. 阿伯特做房地產發了大財。
I often hear someone make a killing in Las Vegas. 我經常聽人說有人在拉斯維加斯發了一筆橫財.
They may well seize the opportunity to make a final killing. 他們很可能抓住機會大撈一筆。
2. Quite a day.:其實這句話并沒有固定的對應中文,在不同的語境中,這個感嘆句可以用來表示不同的感情,比如:
His father accepted the award for him, saying, "It's been quite a day." 他的父親在替他領獎時說:“這是不尋常的一天”。
Whew, that was quite a day. Sleep became easier, even in cold temperature of the 7000 feet and above, because I was rather exhausted at night. 一天就這樣過去了!人累了,海拔7000英尺的高地,即使很冷,也能酣然入睡。
Paul說:“今天真是好日子(今天真是不尋常的一天)。”他發出這樣的感嘆是可以理解的,先是得到Norman被芝加哥大學聘任的消息,然后又聽說Norman要向Jessie求婚,真是好事成雙。
3. right in the middle of...:字面意思是“在正中間”,也引申為“正在做某事”,例如:
I'm kind of in the middle of things right now. 我現在正有點忙.
We right in the middle of dinner. 我們正好在吃晚飯呢.
而在接下來這句話中,right in the middle表示的是“處于其中”
He tried to put himself right in the middle of an investigation. 他盡量讓自己介入調查過程。
臺詞這句話意思是:“你正好身處其中。”“其中”指的就是報刊業務,因為芝加哥“有幾十家報紙”。Norman想告訴Paul,芝加哥就是Paul的用武之地。
4. What do you say?:“你說什么?”除了這個意思,這句話還可以表示“你怎么看?”,Norman問Paul:“你怎么想的?跟我們一起去吧。”來看例句:
What do you say to some rice? 你看來點米飯怎么樣?
What do you say to eating out? 我們出去吃飯,你說如何?
