Grandpa: Perfect. Perfect. You're the world
champion growler. Time for your beauty rest. Get in there. There you go. Good
night.
Olive: Grandpa?
Grandpa: Yeah.
Olive: I'm kinda scared about tomorrow.
Grandpa: Are you kiddin' me? You're gonna blow
'em out of the water. They're not gonna know what hit 'em.
Olive: Grandpa?
Grandpa: Yeah.
Olive: Am I pretty?
Grandpa: Olive, you are the most beautiful girl in the
whole world.
Olive: Nah, you're just saying
that.
Grandpa: No, I'm not. I'm madly in love with you. And it's not because of
your brains or your personality. It's because you're beautiful, inside and out.
Olive: Grandpa?
Grandpa: What?
Olive: I don't want to be a loser.
Grandpa: You're not a loser. Where'd you get the idea you're a loser?
Olive: Because Daddy hates losers.
Grandpa: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Back
up a minute. You know what a loser is? A real loser is somebody
that's so afraid of not winning, they don't even try. Now, you're trying, right?
Olive: Yeah.
Grandpa: Well, then, you're not a loser. We're gonna have fun tomorrow,
right?
Olive: Yeah.
Grandpa: We can tell 'em all to go to hell. Good night, sweetie. I love you.
妙語佳句,活學(xué)活用
1. Blow out of the water
這個(gè)片語挺有趣的,它的意思是"defeat
decisively",起源于19世紀(jì)中期的海軍,最初的意思是"將敵方的軍艦打成碎片",現(xiàn)在用來指各種各樣的"打敗"對(duì)手,例如:With a great new
product and excellent publicity, we could blow the competition out of the water.
此外,blow out of the water 還可以表示"surprise greatly",例如:I was blown out of the
water when I heard that I was promoted.
2. Nah, you're just saying that.
Nah 這里表示"no",you're just saying that 的意思是"你不過是說說罷了",這可是一句很實(shí)用的口語,趕緊記下來哦!

Back up 這個(gè)片語有很多意思,我們來一一看一下: a. to bring (a stream of traffic) to a
