影片对白：

Ben: Of all the women Spears and Green could have thrown at me, this one is amazing. Hanging with her for ten days is going to be no problem.

Tony: Right, so, it's only nine days longer than you've ever spent with any other chick, huh?

Ben: That's why I didn't go for the gold immediately.

Tony: Oh.

Ben: I'm taking my time. It's a marathon, not a sprint¹.

Thayer: Ten days is a marathon?

Ben: Okay, so it's more like the 3,000-meter hurdle². The point is, she's already on the ropes, guys.

Thayer: Wow, that-that's a lot of sports analogies.

Tony: That it? That-that's it?

Ben: That's it.

Tony: Have you looked inside?

Ben: No.

Thayer: Do you have an ethical³ problem with rifling through a woman's purse?

Ben: Uh, yeah, I guess I do.

Tony: Well, it's hardly a purse, dude. It's more like a clutch or something.

Ben: Guys, a woman's purse, all right--it's her secret source of power. All right? There-there are many dark and dangerous things in there that we, the male species, should know nothing about.

Tony: Oh. Unless, of course, she, uh, left it behind intentionally⁴ to secure a next-day call back.

Ben: Mm-hmm. She's a very clever minx.

Tony: Oops, I'm sorry.

Ben: Oh, God. Um...Oh, shit, we got to clean that up.

Tony: Yeah, yeah.

Ben: Carefully. Carefully. Oh, what have we here? Let us see, let us see. Oh... Knicks tickets...

Tony: Huh.

Ben: ...for tonight's game.

Girl: Delivery, Andie.

People: Wow, look at those! Oh, who are those for?

Michelle: Andie, oh, my God!

Delivery man: Where do you want these?

People: Who are these to?

Michelle: Wait. "100 times..."...more beautiful..." Wait. "...than 100 roses."

Jeannie: Catchy⁵.

Andie: The guy's in advertising⁶. He can't help it.

Jeannie: So, does this mean he's hooked?

Andie: This means he found the Knicks tickets.

Michelle: You left the tickets in the purse?

Andie: Yeah.

Michelle: You are just on a whole different playing field. Here you go.

Andie: Mm-hmm. Andie Anderson.

Ben: Hey, hey, pretty girl.

Andie: Guess what? I got a really embarrassing display of white roses.

Ben: Well, you are welcome. Listen, I had a wonderful time last night. I have your bag.

Andie: Ah, I know. I can't believe I left it there.

Ben: Yeah, well, you must need it back, what with all the cash, credit cards, and...those Knicks tickets for tonight's game.

Andie: Sounds like you've been peeking⁸ through my bag, Ben.

Ben: Oh, absolutely not. Tony, my Art Director, he's an oaf, and he accidentally knocked it over.

Tony: Ow, right! Yeah, I'm a clumsy man.

Andie: All right, I'm sorry, though. I'm going to the game with somebody else.

Ben: Not anymore. Besides, what? You think you left your purse at my place by accident? No. Subconsciously¹⁰, you are dying to take me to that game. Denying your subconscious⁹ desires is extremely dangerous to your health, young lady.

Andie: Does that psycho-babble really work on anybody?

Ben: You tell me.

Michelle: Andie, you're so bad.

Andie: All right, meet me at the 7th Avenue entrance. 7:30. Don't be late.

Ben: You got it. Bye-bye.

Andie: Bye.

Ben: And that's how it's done.

Andie: And that's how it's done.

妙语佳句活学活用

1. sprint: 短距离赛跑。影片中Ben把十天的恋爱比作一场马拉松，而非短跑。可见Ben之前的恋爱经历都很短。

2. on the ropes: （拳击时）被挤到拳击台的围绳上。在这里Ben又把谈恋爱比作拳击赛，他认为他的对手Andie已经被他逼到了“拳击台的围绳上”，即没有还手的余地。例如：

have one's opponent on the ropes （把对手逼到拳击台的围绳上）

on the ropes还可以表示“濒于失败，即将完蛋，处于困境”。看一下例子：

The right political forces seemed to be on the ropes. 右派政治力量看上去要垮了。

3. rifle through: （尤指抱有不良意图）迅速翻查。影片中一开始Ben对于翻看女士的包还是有顾虑的。请看例子：

Someone's been rifling through my drawers, there's some money missing.

有人翻过我的抽屉，我丢了些钱。

4. clutch: 即clutch bag，手握袋。

5. secure: 弄到，获得。影片中Tony怂恿Ben去翻看Andie的包，并说Andie有可能故意把包留下，这样第二天才能接到Ben的电话。请看例子：

I have at last secured a house. （我终于弄到一所房子了。）

6. minx: 冒失（或轻佻的）的少女。

7. catchy: 容易记住的。Jeannie指白玫瑰里的字条上的话很顺口，很好记。例如：a catchy tune¹¹（容易上口的调子）。catchy还可以指“引起注意（或兴趣）的”，例如：a catchy title（引人注目的标题）。此外，catchy还可以表示“欺骗性的，难以对付的”，例如：a catchy question（引人上当的问题）。

8. peek⁷: 偷看，窥视。请看例子：

They caught him peeking through the hole at what was going on in the room.

他正从孔眼偷看房内发生的事情的时候被他们抓了个正着。

9. oaf: 粗笨的人。看一下例子：

The oaf stumbled over the bucket, spilling all the water.

那个笨手笨脚的人绊到了木桶，把水全给泼了。

10. psycho-babble: <口>心理呓语（指肤浅地滥用心理学和精神病学概念和术语的言语或写作）。
