荧屏情景：

星期五 修剪植物 片段选自《怦然心动》 Flipped 44:32--45:12

Girl: I wanted to think the reason. I started working on my yard...had nothing to do with Bryce. It was about making our house better. After what he did with the eggs, why should I care what he thought? But I did.
女孩：我想告诉自己，我会想要动手整理院子，跟布莱斯无关，我是想让我们家变得更棒。他那样对待我送的蛋，我干嘛还要在乎他的想法呢？但我就是在乎。
Chet: Are you pruning that or trying to hack it to death? Hi. I'm Chet Duncan, Bryce's grandfather. Sorry it's taken me so long to come over and introduce myself.
柴特：你是要剪树枝？还是要把它劈死啊？你好，我是柴特·邓肯，布莱斯的外公。很抱歉，这么久才过来自我介绍。
Girl: Nice to meet you.
女孩：很高兴认识你。
Chet: So are you trimming all these to the same height?
柴特：你想把它们修剪得一样高吗？
Girl: Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I don't know. Do you think it would look better to take them out?
女孩：是啊，我是想这么做，但我也不不确定。你觉得整个拿掉会比较好看吗？
Chet: Oh, these are Hicksii shrubs. These will prune up nicely.
柴特：哦，这些是曼地亚灌木，可以剪得很漂亮。
