Grace: A bit serious, perhaps.
Walter: You'vehit the nail on the head there. Grace.

妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. the title stinks
“標(biāo)題很爛”。都臭了，還不爛么？
2. all over
All over 這里的意思是“in all respects 完全”，Walter 這里的意思是“（我的）布道枯燥乏味，我這個人也是這樣（枯燥乏味）”。我們來看個例子：He is his Aunt Mary all over. 他哪里都像他的瑪麗姑媽。
3. I'm not the most vibrant of individuals.
“我不是一個很活潑的人”。
4. hit the nail on the head
這個片語也寫作hit the bull's-eye，hit the mark on the head，意思是“be absolutely right 絕對正確”，比如：Your remark about finances hit the bull's-eye. 你關(guān)于財源的看法絕對正確。
