先声夺人
一、Listen and Think 先声夺人
Serena:Dan, hey.
Dan:I-I-I was in the neighborhood...uh, give or take 70 blocks. I just wanted to tell you in person that, uh, the end of last night may have not been my finest hour. There was a, uh, a wave.
Serena:I-I-I, saw that,
Dan:Yeah, yeah, and since then, I've just been wondering, uh...are you hungry?
Serena:Yes. Actually, I've had the worst morning.
Dan:Well, you...you wanna...you wanna talk? And eat? Not necessarily in that order.
Serena:Yes, I would love to do both, but, food first, because I'm starving.
Serena:Dan，嘿。
Dan:我，我刚好在附近……呃，70个街区外的"附近"。我只是想亲自告诉你。昨晚道别的时候我表现很糟糕。挥手告别。
Serena:我看到了。自那以后我一直在想……你饿吗?
Serena:饿，今早我衰透了。
Dan:你想，想谈谈吗? 然后一起吃饭？不是非要先谈再吃。
Serena:好，两样都要, 但先吃吧，我饿死了。

内容透析
二、Listen and Learn 内容透析
1. Neighborhood：附近，街坊。In the neighborhood表示“在附近”。比如：Our house is the biggest in the neighborhood.我们的房子是附近最大的。Neighborhood committee：居委会；街道委员会。
2. Block在这里指的是街区。它作名词还可以表示“障碍物”，比如：The car successfully bypassed the block.汽车顺利地绕开了障碍物。Block作动词表示“阻塞，阻止，限制。”如：During rush hour, the traffic jams block the roads for half an hour.在繁忙时间，路上的交通会阻塞半小时。
3. In person：亲自。I can't wait to meet you in person!我等不及要见你本人了！Mary, you're prettier in person than in the photos.玛丽，你本人比照片中漂亮。注意它与"in the person"的区别，in the person指的是“以……的资格”。比如：He spoke in the person of Xinhua News Agency.他代表新华社讲话。
4. Fine有很多意思。作形容词它可以泛指“好的”，比如剧本中的“finest hour”是指“最好的时刻”。Fine还可以用来形容事物“精美”，“fine antique”就是指“精美的古董”。用来形容天气时，fine指的是“晴朗的”。It is a fine day.
5. 这是晴朗的一天。Fine作名词最常见的意思是“罚款”，例如：He paid $100 fine because he drank beer in a public street.由于在公共马路上喝啤酒，他缴了一百元罚款。
8. “饿”的表达：I'm hungry. I could eat a horse./I’m famished.I’m starving./My stomach is growling./My stomach is eating itself.
