影片对白

Bridget: I didn't playnetball. Or go to agirl's school. Or have showers.

Cleever: Now that's just not true, is it? Let me start you off.

Bridget: No.

Cleever: Bridget, if you're gonna be dull, I'm going to plunge back into Mrs. Dalloway, and you know how she loves that. Dirty, dirty bitch.

Bridget: Arrived Bangkok, Very hot. Relieved at last tothrow myself intoserious journalistic work. Thailand has long called travelers from around the globe to take spiritual succour and karmic rest. For centuries, Western visitors have been inevitably drawn to some of Bangkok's oldest sanctuaries.

Cleever: So true. Even I, fight it as I may, am no exception. The moment I arrive here, I almost feel an irresistible pull... to this,the Temple of Tranquility. Indeed, nothing symbolizes Thailand's extraordinaryfusion ofEast and West, of tradition and innovation, better than this. Fully body-to-body massage.

Bridget: An incredible thing about Thailand is the amazing traditional cuisine. I'm going to taste kapaluk, the ultimate delicacy. Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, my God. My God. Um... Er... Mmm.

Cleever: How about a lovely locust? They're delicious.

Bridget: I can't. No, no, I can't.

2. girl's school

在国外有很多私立学校都是男女分开的,也因此会有girl's school 这个词。指的就是女校。说到这,就不得不提到另外一个词,boy's school男子学校。在国外还有一种学校可能是大家不太熟知的,种族隔离学校segregated school。

3. throw... into...
