第二、重点短语

1. break the impasse：打破僵局

讲解：还有一个更为地道的表述“打破僵局”的短语是break the ice。

例句：The host told a joke to his guest to break the impasse.

主人为了打破僵局，给客人讲了个笑话。

After a long silence his remarks helped to break the impasse.

经过长时间的沉默，他的话总算打破了僵局。

2. run to one’s meeting：急着参与一个会议

讲解：run to是“跑去”的意思，run to a meeting直译就是“跑着去参加一个会议”，就表示时间很紧迫，会议马上要开始，需要赶着去参加会议。它与go to a meeting相比起来，更强调出时间性。

例句：I am sorry that I am afraid that I cannot give you a pep talk, I have got to run to my meeting.

对不起我恐怕不能再和你说道理了，我要赶着去参加一个会议。

3. clear up：澄清

讲解：这个短语在本段台词中的意思是“澄清”“弄清楚”的意思，除此之外，它还有“清理卫生（打扫干净）”的意思，还指天气“放晴”，还可以指（麻烦，困难）解决。

例句：They met last night to clear up any lingering doubts.

他们昨晚会面,消除一切滞留的疑点。

We have to clear up the facts

我们得澄清事实。

法制讲堂

It's just... the only thing keeping me going was the feeling that I actually deserve this.

结构解析：这个句子中的the only thing keeping me going was the feeling that I actually deserve this是表语从句。

从句中的keeping me going是现在分词作后置定语，修饰thing，这个现在分词中keep后面的宾语后使用了现在分词作宾语me的补足语。

那么，表语从句中的主语是the only thing keeping me going，谓语是was，表语是 the feeling that I actually deserve this。

在这个表语中含有同位语从句：that I actually deserve this。其同为词是feeling，引导词是that，它无实际意义， I actually deserve this是说明feeling的内容是什么。

牛人口语

1 情景：表示某事让某人一直努力，某事一直激励某人，可以这么说：

It has kept me going.

源于台词：the only thing keeping me going was the feeling
that I actually deserve this.

2 情景：你非常确信某事，套用这个句型：

I am sure ( that )+从句。

源于台词：Are you sure you're gonna be all right?

3 情景：原来你以为一个人很有本事，当你得知其背后有猫腻的时候，你并不觉得他是你那么伟大，你可以套用这个句型发表感概：

You are nothing more than something.

源于台词：You're nothing more than tails.
