二、Listen and Learn 内容透析
-
I got two bone-dry caps and Audrey. 我带来了两杯卡布奇诺咖啡和奥黛丽•赫本的电影。Bone-dry由bone（骨骼，香烟）和dry（干燥的，禁酒的）合成，bone-dry连在一起有两个意思：一是绝对禁酒的，二是极干燥的。取第二个意思的时候，它也相当于as dry as a bone。比如说We badly need some rain; my garden is as dry as a bone. 我们急需些雨水，我的花园干透了。剧本里bone-dry caps是指无泡沫无奶的卡布其诺咖啡。注意这里的cap是指cappuccino（卡布其诺咖啡）。Audrey：这里指Audrey Hepburn奥黛丽•赫本。
