Lily: Hey Marni, have you seen the new Giver trailer?
Marni，你看了《賜予者》的新預(yù)告片嗎?
Marni: The movie based on the book by Lois Lowry? Actually, you know what, I have seen it. I was surprised with some of the actors in it. They’re pretty big names.
Lois Lowry小說改編的電影嗎?我看過。我很驚訝里面有一些非常大牌的演員。
Lily: Yeah, like Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. You know what? All of the kids…I always imagined them being around 10 or 11.
比如杰夫·布里吉斯和梅麗爾·斯特里普。你知道么，那些小孩。我一直覺得他們在只有10幾歲。
Marni: Yeah!
是的。
Lily: They all were 19 years old. They all were almost adults, and it was kind of odd for a children’s book.
在電影里他們都有19歲了，幾乎是大人了。這種改編對于一部兒童書來說有點(diǎn)奇怪。
Marni: That is kind of odd. I remember that as well, and I’m just wondering if Hollywood’s trying to capture some of the success of The Hunger Games and tap into more of a YA audience versus younger kids.
的確有點(diǎn)奇怪，我也記得。我懷疑好萊塢想要延續(xù)《饑餓游戲》的成功，吸引更多青少年和兒童觀眾群體。
Lily: Yeah. That’s what it seems like. And actually, a lot of the special effects and stuff, like even the hovercraft and a bunch of the random technical stuff, looked very similar.
就是這樣的。里面的很多特效，甚至氣墊船和一些技術(shù)的東西都看起來很相似。
Marni: Right.
是的。
Lily: It was kind of odd.
這有點(diǎn)奇怪。
Marni: It did. Yeah. That’s a shame.
嗯，有點(diǎn)可惜。
Lily: I would still see it. I liked the book, and I thought it had a lot to say. And I hope the movie does it justice, I guess, because everybody, every kid, reads it just about.
我還是想看這部電影。我喜歡這本書，里面內(nèi)容很豐富。我希望電影能達(dá)到預(yù)期效果。因?yàn)楹孟衩總€(gè)小孩都看了這本書。
Marni: It’s true. I’ll definitely go see it with you, and we can critique it.
的確如此，我肯定會和你一起去看，然后評價(jià)它。
Lily: OK. Perfect.
很好。

Unit11：語法點(diǎn)講解
Brian, you have to be open to the experience.
動(dòng)詞短語
動(dòng)詞短語一般為動(dòng)詞+介詞/副詞，動(dòng)詞短語改變了動(dòng)詞的含義。很多動(dòng)詞短語中用out比如break out (爆發(fā)), hand out (分發(fā)), make out (親熱)。
有些動(dòng)詞短語中的介詞必須緊跟動(dòng)詞，不能和動(dòng)詞分開。
例：I dropped by the bar
我順路去了酒吧。
有些動(dòng)詞短語中的介詞可以和動(dòng)詞分開。
例：I have to drop my son off at school.
我得把孩子送到學(xué)校。
