影片對白

Andy: Hi.

Nigel: Hi. All right. Turn around, darling.

Andy: Oh, I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. The piece is called "urban jungle", right?

Nigel: Yes, the modern woman unleashes the animal within totake onthe big city. Good. Go. Sometimes I can't believe I talk about this crap all day. Bobby, come here.

Andy: Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Nigel: Let me see. Make sure Miranda gets these as soon as possible.

Andy: Mm-hmm.

Nigel: And tell her I switched in the Dior for the Rocha.

Andy: Oh, great. Can't wait.

Nigel: Excuse me. Can we adjust the attitude?

Andy: I'm sorry.

Nigel: Don't make me feed you to one of the models.

Andy: Sorry. It's a busy day. My personal life ishanging by a thread, that's all.

Nigel: Oh, join the club. That's what happens when you start doing well at work, darling. Let me know when your whole lifegoes up in smoke. That means it's time for a promotion.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. Take on

Take on 常用的意思有下面幾種：

1) Undertake or begin to deal with，例如：I took on new responsibilities.

2) Hire, engage，例如：We take on extra workers during the busy season.

3) Oppose in competition，例如：This young wrestler was willing to take on all comers.

4) Acquire as, or as if, one's own, 例如：He took on the look of a prosperous banker.

5) Display strong emotion, 例如：Don't take on so.

在本段中，take on使用的是第三種意思，意思是"這套時裝設計是表示現代女性們用野性來對抗城市的禁錮"。

2. Hang by a thread

這個片語也寫作hang by a hair，意思是"depend on a small thing or be at risk"，例如：
His life now hangs by a thread. 他命懸一線。

這個表達來自一個關于Damocles的傳說。Damocles是Syracuse國王Dionysius的一個大臣。國王厭煩了Damocles的阿諛奉承，邀請他前來赴宴，并讓他坐在僅用一根頭發懸吊的利劍下面，來警示他所處地位的危險。Damocles' sword 也成為一個表達，表示"即將到來的危險"，例如：The likelihood of lay-offs has been a sword of Damocles over the department for months. 部門可能要裁員的消息讓這幾個月來每個人都提心吊膽。
