看GossipGirl第四季學英語4.7 B的20歲生日

緋聞女孩第四季第7集：玫瑰之戰
片名解析：War at the Roses來自於The War of the Roses《玫瑰戰爭》，說的是夫妻之間的戰爭，是不是很貼這集的主題？
夫妻反目的時候可以彼此憎惡到什麼程度？看看本片的例子，足以教人不寒而慄。由丹尼．德維託自導自演的這部黑色喜劇，生動而深刻地描述了男女之間由愛生恨的心理過程。主人翁奧立佛與芭芭拉在十七年前相識於拍賣會上，不久結婚生子，生活美滿。奧立佛成爲名律師，芭芭拉則培養了收集古董和藝術品的嗜好，將家裏佈置得盡善盡美。後來，芭芭拉爲了自我肯定，開設了一家外燴公司，並經營得有聲有色。由於夫妻倆各忙各的事業而疏於經營婚姻，芭芭拉發覺自己並不需要丈夫，乃提出離婚，並要求擁有房子。奧立佛拒絕搬走，更把他們的豪宅變成戰場。邁克爾．道格拉斯與凱薩琳．特納三度合作，有精彩絕倫的演出。

What a fitting gift！ 好合適的禮物！非常實用的一句話。

I know the first wedding anniversary's supposed to be paper, but that's not really an excuse to... to eat out of cartons.
按照美國的傳統，paper紙製的禮物是適合在結婚一週年的時候送的，包括相冊、書本、球票、音樂會票之類的。所以結婚一週年被稱爲紙婚。這是比較傳統的方式，現代人會改送鍾，對中國人來說很難接受吧？

I'm gonna head off.  
head off 離開
