Juliet: Banoffee pie? uUlsda E
Mark: No, thanks.
Juliet: Thank god, you would have broken my heart if you'd said yes.
Mark: Right, well. Lucky you.
Juliet: Can I come in?
Mark: Er, yeah! Well, I'm a bit busy.
Juliet: I was just passing and I thought we might check that video thing out. I thought I might be able to swap it for some pie or maybe munchies?
Mark: Actually I was being serious. I don't know where it is. I'll have a look around tonight.
Juliet: Mark, can I say something?
Mark: Yeah.
Juliet: I know you're Peter's best friend and I know you've never particular warmed to me.Look, don't, don't argue. We've never got friendly. But I just wantedto say, I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am. Apart from myterrible taste in pie and... it would be great if we could be friends.
Mark: Absolutely, absolutely.
Juliet: Great.
Mark: Doesn't mean we'll be able to find the video, though. I had a real search when you first called and couldn't find any choices so...

Juliet: This one says Peter and Juliet's wedding. Do you think we might be on the right track?
Mark: Err, yeah, well... wow. That- that could be it.
Juliet: Do you mind if I...?
Mark: I've probably taped it over it. Almost everything's episode of west wing on it now. Oh.

Juliet: Oh bingo. That's lovely. Well done you. Oh, that's gorgeous.Thank you so much, Mark. This is exactly what I' was hoping for. I lookquit pretty. You've stayed rather close, haven't you? They are all ofme.
Mark: Yeah, yeah, yes.
Juliet: But, you never talked to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me.
Mark: I hope it's useful. Don't show it aroundtoo much. Needs a bit of editing. Look, I got to get a lunch, earlylunch. You can just show yourself out, can't you? It's a self-preservation thing, you see.

重点讲解

【重点讲解】

1. Check sth out

意思就是“把……查出来/弄出来”，在此片断中提到的check the video thingout，指的就是“找一下那个video”。那么在我们的日常生活中这个短语要怎么用呢？打个比方：What are you doing here?Well, I'm here to check my bag out.（我来这儿是找我的包的。）再比如：Don't make anyhaste decisions before we check it out.（在事情调查好之前，先不要果断下结论。）

2. Swap sth for sth

“用……换……”的意思。Can I swap the chocolate for some apples?我能用苹果换点巧克力吗？我们还要注意到另外一个短语：swap meet，虽然在此片当中没有提到，但是也很重要，指的就是flea market跳蚤市场。

3. You've never particular warmed to me.

“你从来都没对我热情过”，这句话不能这么翻译，一定要反过来才可以：你一向对我都这么冷淡。举个例子：He's never particular warmed to anybody. 他对谁都那样，冷冰冰的。

4. I had a real search for...

Search for... 指的就是“找……”。有时候我们说 search for 会觉得语言表达得不够生动，为了表示强调，就会说Ihad a real search for...（我还真是费了好大的力气找了半天呢！）比如：I had a real search formy wallet. But I did that in vain. 我费了好大的劲找我的钱包，但是还是没找到！

5. On the right track

在理解这句话的意思之前，我们要先看一下 track 这个词。通常情况下，track 指的是“路径”的意思，等同于path。在英文当中我们有这样的表达，be on the right path 正确的道路上/已经有了正确的选择。on the righttrack 也是同样的意思。在本片断中的 We might be on the right track. 指的就是“我们也许选对了”。

6. Don't show it around.

在这里做“不要到处炫耀”解。show sb. around 常用的意思是“带某人随便转转”。比如：Since this is thefirst time I'm in the capital of China, would you like to show mearound or something? 这是我第一次到北京，你是否愿意带我转转？
