看美剧学英语 欲望都市的台词解析

《欲望都市》中有一个英国美女第一次来到曼哈顿，在一个展会上邂逅了以为年轻帅气多金的纽约男人。他们彼此一见倾心，很快他们就约会恋爱。

Once upon a time an English journal-ist came to New York. Elizabeth was attractive and bright, and right away she hooked up with one of the city's eligible bachelors. Tim was 42. A well-liked and respected banker, who made about two million a year. They met one evening, in typical New York fashion, at a gallery opening.

2.  Hook up ,勾搭上 be hooked up to 与.接通（配合使用）

3.  eligible adj.有资格的；合格的；具备条件的；（指认为可做夫妻的男女）合意的 n.合适的人

在英国女孩看来他们似乎有迈向婚姻的可能，因为他们已经做过一切恋爱男女的事情，彼此分享内心深处的秘密，享受肉体关系。 甚至纽约男人还带她去看房，约见父母，这在她看来就是要结婚，共度余生的节凑呀！

For two weeks they snuggled, went to romantic restaurants,had wonderful sex and shared the most intimate secrets. One day, he took her to a house he saw in the New York Times. That day Tim popped the question:

Would you like to meet my folks Tuesday night?

然而,万万没想到，两人看完房不久。纽约男人称母亲生病，不便探望，过段时日再说。后来，他再也没有打过电话来，就这样，人间失踪了。

On Tuesday he called with some bad news.

My mother's not feeling very well.

她告诉Carrie，在英国，情侣看房是一件很慎重严肃的事，她完全不能理解怎么在纽约完全不一样。Carrie心想大概目前是没有人告诉她曼哈顿的恋爱法则吧！

I realized no one had told her about the end of love in Manhattan.

“Welcome to the ''age of un-innocence''.

究竟曼哈顿的恋爱究竟有什么不一样呢？

学习提升英语的，还可以试试双语训练，我觉得还是很有帮助的

1、加强英语的词汇量和语法方面的知识，这是基础。

2、多朗诵一些脍炙人口的英文，最好是会背诵，培养语感。

3、听你喜欢的英语歌曲，还有看欧美电影，保持兴趣的同时学到口语。

4、若有机会的话，跟老外多说英语。比如现在的在线英语学习就可以和外教一对一进行学习和试听。
