导演
这部剧的导演叫做约翰·卡尼，是一个人生经历很有趣的人。
他本身是乐队贝斯手出身，能弹会唱，也给乐队制作演唱会和音乐的录像带。
后来因为太痴迷影像工作，这个音乐人就转行当起了导演，再后来观众才发现，原来他竟还是个不折不扣的爱情片高手。
一个精通音乐的爱情片导演，可想而知会有多浪漫~

这里想分享几个我很喜欢的片段：
当然看完电影不能忘记学习英语，我从其中挑选了5个地道英文表达：
[scode type="blue"]1.burn to do sth
很想做某事[/scode]
英英释义：
If you are burning with an emotion or are burning to do something, you feel that emotion or the desire to do that thing very strongly.
例句：
①The young boy was burning with a fierce ambition.
②Dan burned to know what the reason could be.
拓展：
spring的时态：spring-sprang-sprung
[scode type="blue"]2. spot-on
恰好的(地);准确的(地)[/scode]
英英释义：
Spot-on means exactly correct or accurate.
例句：
①Schools were told their exam information had to be spot-on and accurate.
②Apparently your instincts were spot on.
显然你的直觉是对的。----《福尔摩斯基本演绎法第一季》
③I'd say your first two sections are spot on.
拓展：
“spot”的意思是“地点”，“spot-on”可以理解为“恰好在点在上”，所以延伸意义即“准确无误的”
[scode type="blue"]3.spring
v.蹦、跳跃、突然出现[/scode]
英英释义：
If you spring some news or a surprise on someone, you tell them something that they did not expect to hear, without warning them.
例句：
①The two superpower leaders sprang a surprise at a ceremony in the White House yesterday by signing a trade deal.
②Mclaren sprang a new idea on him.
拓展：
这里补充两个短语：
①spring from 来自; 源于;
If one thing springs from another thing, it is the result of it.
如：
①Ethiopia's art springs from her early Christian as well as her Muslim heritage.
②His anger sprang from his suffering.
②spring a leak 出现裂缝
If a boat or container springs a leak, water or some other liquid starts coming in or out through a crack.
如：
The yacht has sprung a leak in the hull.
[scode type="blue"]4.stand sb up
放鸽子，失约[/scode]
英英释义：
If a boyfriend or girlfriend stands you up, they fail to keep an arrangement to meet you.
例句：
①We were to have had dinner together yesterday evening, but he stood me up.
②He was in a foul mood because he had been stood up.
拓展：
补充一个常见词组“stand-up comedy”单口相声
Stand-up is stand-up comedy.
A stand-up comic or comedian stands alone in front of an audience and tells jokes.
[scode type="blue"]5.blow it
搞砸[/scode]
英英释义：
If you say that something blows an event, situation, or argument into a particular extreme state, especially an uncertain or unpleasant state, you mean that it causes it to be in that state.
拓展：
这里拓展几个关于“搞砸”的英文表达：
fuck up
英英释义：
If you fuck something up, you make a mistake or do something badly.
例句：
①We had great hopes of our team, but they fucked up again today.
我们对我们队曾抱以很大的希望, 但是他们今天又输球了。
②So you fucked up somewhere! - I didn't fuck up.
所以你哪里搞砸了 -我没搞砸。---《美剧-硅谷第五季》
拓展：
“fuck up”这个短语经常在美剧中出现。当然这个短语比较：简单粗暴，我们一般比较委婉的表达法是“mess up ”
除此之外，我们之前还讲过一个很常见的短语“screw up”把事情搞砸，当然它也有名词词性---screw-up 。
另外，“screw（pluck）up one's courage ”可以表示“鼓起勇气”
美剧《我们这一天》 也出现了“blow it ”
