Part of sharing 3-Meeting Again(分享情景3 再次相逢)
Sabrina: Hi, how are you?
David: I' m great! Uh, how are you?
Sabrina: Good. I'm just surprised to see you here.
David: Well, you know me, don't ya? Uh, can I give you a lift(1)?
Sabrina: Are you on your way home?
David: Yes.
Sabrina: Well, that's convenient. You sure you wouldn't mind(2)?
David: Yes... Ya know, I can't remember the name of your street.
Sabrina: Deloris Lane.
David: What? That's where I live.
Sabrina: Small world.
David: Big lane.
Sabrina: You don't recognize me, do you?(3)
David: Yeah, of course I do. You're my neighbor on Deloris Lane.
Sabrina: And you're David.
David: I sure am. One of the lesser(4) Larrabees.
Sabrina: In what way lesser?
David: Pretty much every way, but please, no pity(5). I could have sworn(6) I knew every pretty girl on the North Shore.
Sabrina: Oh, I could have sworn you took in more territory(7) than that.
David: Ouch(8)!
Sabrina: Although, that was a while ago. I heard somewhere that you're engaged(9) to be married.
David: Oh, yeah, I am. But we're both very busy busy people, and it's been very difficult to set a date(10). So come on(11), give me a clue(12). Just one.
Sabrina: Oh no. This is too much fun.
David: Please.(13)
Sabrina: There's your driveway.(14)
David: I was just gonna(15) say that. Uh, would you like to come in for a drink?
Sabrina: What a good idea!
David: Wow!(16)
细 节 链 接
讲解(1) give sb. a lift：让我带你一程吧。如果变换角色，你想搭别人的车的时候，我们可以这样说：我能搭你的车吗？Can I take a ride (from you)?
讲解(2) wouldn't mind：不介意。
讲解(3) you don't recognize me, do you? 现在让我们来关注一下反义疑问句的回答方式。比如这句话：你认不出我来了，是吧？回答是：yeah, of course I do.不，我当然认得出。回答的时候，是与否的问题要和后面回答的内容保持一致。比如，如果回答是：no, I don't.这时候no就不表示否定了，这时回答人的意思是“I don't”,即是认不出的意思，所以，翻译时，no就表示“对”，我认不出你是谁。
讲解(4) lesser：表示“次要的”。
讲解(5) no pity：表示“拒绝同情，勿需同情”。
讲解(6) sworn：是swear的过去式，表示“发誓”。
讲解(7) territory：领土，地域。
讲解(8) ouch：在这里表示感叹，平时使用ouch,大多表示疼痛，比如别人打你一拳，你会发出“ouch, ouch”的声音，表示“哎哟，痛啊”。
讲解(9) engage:从事于,参加,还表示订婚。
讲解(10) set a date：落实婚期。
讲解(11) come on：平日里这个词组出现的频率极高，表示“快点,赶快,加油,振作起来”等等。在电影的情景中，大卫急于套出莎博琳娜的身份，所以，鼓动对方给自己点线索。
讲解(12) clue：线索。Come on, give me some clue, all right? (给我点提示好吗？)
讲解(13) Please:求求你了。比如：小女孩撒娇地求爸爸为自己买一个渴望已久的玩具熊：Daddy, please, please buy a teddy bear for me, I have been longing for it for ages! 另外,让我们把please的用法继续扩大。用餐时，主人问：Could you like to have a try of the Chocolate cake?(你想不想尝点巧克力蛋糕？)肯定的回答就是：Yes, please.（好的，我想尝尝）。主人又问：Wanna have something to drink? 否定回答就是：No, thanks! I've just had a bottle of Coke.(不了，谢谢！我刚喝了一瓶可乐！)
讲解(14) driveway:车道。
讲解(15) gonna：口语中经常出现这种用法，I was just gonna say that 相当于I was just going to say that. 口语表达时，可以这样说：I gonna go, maybe talk to you next time.(我要走了， 或许咱们下次再聊？) 同样地， 我们还经常听wanna的表示，它就相当于want to...
讲解(16) wow:表示惊喜：太棒了！

莎博琳娜: 嗨，你好吗?
大卫: 我？（四处环视，发现对方的确在跟自己说话）好极了，嗯，你呢?（自己似乎并不认识对方，所以不知说什么好）
莎博琳娜: 很好……想不到在这里见到你。
大卫: 看来你认识我，是吧？……哦，对了，载你一程，可以吗？
莎博琳娜: 你是正要回家吗?
大卫: 对啊！
莎博琳娜: 嗯，那就顺路了。你真的不介意吗？
大卫: 当然不会……你看，我记不起你的街名来了。
莎博琳娜: 迪索瑞斯路。
大卫: 什么? 我也住那儿。
莎博琳娜: 世界真小。
大卫: 道路却如此之大。
莎博琳娜: 你认不出我了吧？
大卫: 不, 我当然认得出。你是我在迪索瑞斯路的邻居。（这时大卫明显在“套瓷”）
莎博琳娜: 而你是大卫！
大卫: 如假包换。在雷家，我地位比较低微。
莎博琳娜: 哪方面?
大卫: 可以说在很多方面都是，但是，恳求你，勿需同情。我还以为自己认遍了北岸的美女。
莎博琳娜: 哦，我还以为你认遍的区域远比北岸大得多。
大卫: 天啊!
莎博琳娜: 当然，这是以前的事了。记不起听谁说过，你订了婚。
大卫: 对。但我俩都很忙，很难落实婚期。嗨，还是给我点提示吧，一个就好。
莎博琳娜: 哦，不！这样才好玩！
大卫: 求你了！
莎博琳娜: 你应该往那边开。
大卫: 我正想说呢！嗯，你不来我家喝杯酒吗？
莎博琳娜: 好主意!
大卫: 太棒了！
Part of sharing 4-How Can I Remember(分享情景4此情可待成追忆)
同样的场景，同样的音乐，同样热闹的景象，但大卫出了意外不能赴约，这就引发了里纳斯与莎博琳娜下面的对话。忽然之间，乐队奏起了“How can I remember”（《此情可待成追忆》）,深情而动人。不同于影片开头“theme from Sabrina”隐隐约约透出的少女情怀，这段歌曲不仅收集了飞逝的光阴，也记录着莎博琳娜由天真稚嫩到成熟稳重的成长历程。
Sabrina: They sent you to deal with(1) me, haven't they?
Linus: They?
Sabrina: Like a lawyer in the movie. He goes to the unsuitable waitress, or showgirl(2), or chauffeur' daughter, and says the family is prepared to offer(3) you a hundred thousand dollars to stay away(4) from their son. “No, she says, a hundred and fifty thousand, no!”
Linus: Two hundred thousand?
Sabrina: No.
Linus:A million? No self-respecting lawyer could offer less.
Sabrina: No self-respecting(5) waitress would take it.
Linus: Good girl.(6)
Sabrina: I've loved him all my life.
Linus: Have you?
Sabrina:I thought I was over(7) it.
Linus: Surprise, surprise.
Sabrina: You don't object?
Linus: object? To you? Look at you. It's as though a lovely breeze has swept through this whole house.(8)
Sabrina: Even though the breeze comes from the general direction of the garage?
Linus: It's the 90's, Sabrina.
Sabrina: So they say.(9) They played that (the music) the night before I left for Paris.
Linus: They often do play that.
Sabrina: Yeah, he was dancing. Right here, with someone.
Linus: Yeah, he often does that. And tonight you wanted it to be you. It's all in the family.

讲解(1) deal with sb.：deal with后面接人，可以表示与某人相处，比如：Are you dealing well with your students?(你和你的学生相处的好吗？)此外，它还可以表示对付某人。如果deal with后面接的是某物时， deal with sth.就变成了“处理，安排”的意思。比如：I am dealing with my work.(我正在处理我的工作)
