Sam: Marsha, should I call you Dr. Fieldstone?

Dr.Marsha: Dr. Marsha.

Sam: Dr.Marsha. I don't mean to be rude...

Annie: Dr.Marsha.

Dr.Marsha: ... and I don't want to invade your privacy .

Sam and Annie: Sure you do.

Dr.Marsha: Go on, Sam. I'm listening. Sam?

Sam: We had a pretty tough time there at first, but we're dealing¹ with it and Jonah and I will get along just fine again, as soon as I break his radio.

Dr.Marsha: I have no doubt that you're a wonderful father. You know, you can tell a lot from a person's voice.

Sam: You certainly can.

Dr.Marsha: But something must be missing if Jonah still feels you're under a cloud . Now just a few questions: Are you sleeping at night?

Jonah: He doesn't sleep at all.

Sam: How do you know that?

Jonah: I live here, dad.

Sam: Look, it's Christmas. Maggie, my wife, she really... I mean, she loved... she made everything beautiful. It's just tough this time of year. Any kid needs a mother.

Dr.Marsha: Could it be that you need someone just as much as Jonah does?

Annie: Yes.

Dr.Marsha: Don't answer that. Let's get into that right after these messages. Sam? Jonah? Don't go away. If you've just tuned² in, we're talking to "Sleepless³ in Seattle".

妙词佳句，活学活用

1. invade your privacy

每个人都有自己的隐私，而每个人又都有维护自己的隐私的办法。至于管不管用，就要另当别论了。其实说到隐私，似乎老外会更注意一些，比如：年龄，工资，住址，甚至婚否，这都是我们不可以直接问的，而一旦直接问了会发生什么事情呢? "You're invading his privacy." （你已经侵犯了他的隐私了!）

2. be under a cloud

很地道的美国俚语，但是很少有人会用，因为我们一直在说 I'm not feeling very well. 其实我们还可以再换一种说法来表达。比如当有人问你 How are you doing recently? 的时候，我们就可以说：Well, I'm under a cloud. （我的心情不是很好！）

3. tough

基本上所有不好的东西，我们都可以用tough这个词来表示！比如：那个讨厌的家伙，就可以是that tough guy。“你太粗暴了”就可以说成 You're too tough.
