影片对白
Dr. Marsha: If you've just tuned in, this is Dr. Marsha Fieldstone and tonight's topic is "Your Wishes and Dreams" and we're on the line now with someone from Seattle.
Sam: Hello?
Dr. Marsha: Hello, Sam. This is Dr. Marsha Fieldstone on Network America.
Sam: OK, what are you selling tonight? The micro hibachis or the ginsu knives.
Dr. Marsha: No, I'm not selling anything. I just want to help. I want you to know that your son called and he asked me for some advice on how you might find a new wife.
Sam: Who is this?
Dr. Marsha: Dr. Marsha Fieldstone of Network America and you are on the air.
Sam: You called the radio station?
Dr. Marsha: Sam, Sam, Sam, Are you with me?
Sam: Yeah, yes.
Dr. Marsha: Your son feels that since your wife's death you've been very very unhappy and he's genuinely worried about you.
Sam: Hey, get out here. Get out here! Come on. Now I'm not going to go through this alone.
Dr. Marsha: I think it's very hard for him to talk to you about all this and I thought maybe you and I could talk, maybe it would make Jonah feel a little better, Sam?
Jonah: Talk to her dad, she's a doctor.
Sam: Of what? Her first name could be "Doctor".
Jonah: Please?
Dr. Marsha: Sam. Sam. It's his Christmas wish.
Sam: OK.
Dr. Marsha: OK. Good. Now I know this is difficult, but how long ago did your wife die?
Sam: About a year and a half ago.
Dr. Marsha: Have you had any relationships since?
Sam: No.
Dr. Marsha: No? Why not?
妙词佳句
1. tune in
在这里要点一下，这可不是turn in而是 tune in，是在广播中经常会听到的一句话，意思是“调台”。这里主持人说if you just tune in意思就是“刚刚听此节目的听众”。
2. The Ginsu knives
Ginsu是在美国比较有名的刀具牌子。因为价钱不贵，样式新颖又耐用，Ginsu很快就成了大众消费品。久而久之当人们说到刀的时候很自然的就说到Ginsu knives。
3. Are you with me?
很地道的表达方式，意思是“你在听我讲话吗？” Are you listening to me？这种讲法也是可以的。
4. A year and a half
“一年半”的意思。我们在表达“半年”这个概念时，会很自然的想到 half a year。然后不假思索的把一年半说成 a year and half a year。其实这是不对的，正确的说法应为 a year and a half.
文化面面观
Network America

思想火花
这是一部温情的浪漫喜剧。可以说，从电影开始就能猜到结局。但是谁在乎呢？这是一部好的家庭剧。
电影中男主人公对已经去世的妻子的深情打动了每一个人。谈话节目结束后，2000个女人追着电台要Sam的电话号码。这是一个人人渴望爱情而又缺乏爱情的年代。但是真爱并非那么难以寻觅，只要你试着打开自己的心门。
考考你
用今日所学将下面的句子翻译成英语。
1． 一年之后我就回来了
2． 你有再听我讲话吗？
3． 刚刚收听的听众，我们现在的话题是浪漫与爱情。
