Ammer: I'm gonna be alone on the Fourth of July?

Michael: You're a regular Derek Jeter yourself, O'Doyle? Love you, kid.

妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. Big fish
Big fish 這個俚語本意是“重要的，有影響力的人物”，和我們在《人生遙控器》（精講之二）中講到的big shot 差不多。在這里，big fish 則指的是“the hotel project”。
Big fish 常常出現(xiàn)在片語 big fish in a small pond里，意思是“A person who is important in a limited arena, someone overqualified for a position or in relation to colleagues”，例如：Steve has both a Ph.D. and an M.D., yet he's content with his practice at a rural hospital; he prefers to be a big fish in a little pond.
2. Reel in
Reel in 是指“to pull (eg a fish out of the water) by winding the line to which it is attached on to a reel”，釣魚時咬餌的魚拉上來的動作。在這里，因為Ammer先提到了big fish，所以接下來他用了“釣魚”這個比喻。
3. Howdy
是個感嘆詞，意思和hello，how do you do等打招呼的用語差不多。
4. Screw up
俚語，“搞砸，搞糟”的意思，例如：The young architect screwed up the entire construction project.
5. You such so bad.
Suck 在英文里的本意是"吸，吮"，而在這里表示"某人 / 某事一點也不好，讓你很失望"。
在美國，你動不動就會聽到別人說："You suck! She sucks! It sucks!"。有很多情況下可以用到這個詞：
a. 昨天晚上你看了一場電影，如果朋友問你："How was the movie? (電影怎么樣？)"，你覺得那部片子真是拍得不怎么地，你就可以說："It sucked!"，而且可以特別使勁地，強(qiáng)調(diào)一下"sucked"，強(qiáng)烈表示你的不滿。
b. 你有朋友今晚要向他心愛的女生表白，如果明天你問起他事情進(jìn)行得如何，他告訴你他最終還是臨陣打了退堂鼓，你可以笑他真是沒出息，然后趕緊加一句："You totally sucked!"(你可真沒用。)
c. 你們?nèi)ペs公共汽車，但是剛好錯過沒趕上，下一班車還要很久才會來，這時候：
A: Guess what? We've just now missed the bus, and the next one won't come for another 45 minutes. 知道嗎，我們剛好錯過公車了，下一班還要過四十五分鐘才會來。
