Morley: How could it not! [Kathy arrives] Hey, Kathy! 莫理和阿丹在闹区的酒吧见面 阿丹：所以，到目前为止你还喜欢在此地的这段时间吗？ 莫理：很赞，你知道的。我觉得对于这地方我一直有新发现。 阿丹：走入人群就对了。我前几天才发现这间酒吧。 莫理：这里有供应本地的自酿啤酒。 阿丹：对啊。我超喜欢自酿啤酒。而且这在台湾似乎越来越流行了。 莫理：要不流行也难！（卡西来了）嘿，卡西！ 重点解说： ★ saloon (n.) （美）酒店，酒吧 crowd (n.) 人群，大众。Join the crowd.就是‘加入人群。’意思就是‘要跟上社会的脉动，不要和社会脱节了’ microbrew (n.) 小量啤酒。以自有品牌、小型工厂酿制的啤酒，非企业品牌般大量制造的方式，也没有广大的通路，只在特定餐厅贩卖。对话中应该是指‘自家酿啤酒’homebrew，非由小型工厂酿造的microbrew live for... 为了…而活。引申为‘非常喜欢’的意思，也就是喜欢到‘没有……就活不下去’的程度 catch on （口）流行 How could it not! 怎么可能不会！用在表示‘非常同意，极力赞同’之时 That night; stargazing on the slopes of Mauna Kea Jun: Ive never seen so many stars. Lisa: I grew up with this. Thats Orion there. Jun: Looking up at these stars makes me feel so small. Lisa: You still worrying about your career? Jun: Yeah, a bit. I feel kind of aimless, like I dont know what to do next. Lisa: Take it one step at a time. This has been a good trip though, right? Jun: [A feather falls] Oh my god. A feather just dropped on me! Lisa:Wow! Maybe its a sign. Maybe things do happen for a reason. 小君：我从没看过这么多的星星。 莉莎：我从小看到大。那个是猎户座。 小君：仰望满天星辰让我觉得自己好渺小。 莉莎：你还在担心你的工作？ 小君：对呀，有一点。我感觉有点漫无目的，像是我不清楚自己下一步要做些什么。 莉莎：走一步算一步。至少这趟旅程很棒，对吧？ 小君：（一根羽毛飘落下来）喔，我的天。一根羽毛刚好掉在我身上。 莉莎：哇！也许是个预兆喔。也许所有事情都是事出必有因的。 重点解说： ★ stargaze (v.) 凝视星辰，Orion (n.) 猎户座 slope (n.) 斜坡，山坡 aimless (a.) 漫无目的的 Hiking around Kilauea later that day Jun: Oh my god! The ground is growing red! Is that lava? Lisa: Yes. This is the worlds most active volcano! Its been erupting for twenty years now. Jun: Its beautiful. But it smells awful.
