- Oh,the mummy,1932. ?
- You don't know who Britney Spears is,but you know this movie. ?
- It's the film that made me want to be an anthropologist, although I prefer Chaney's mummy to Karloff's.?
Britney Spears不用說了,小甜甜布蘭妮除了Bren之外大家都認識。
Bren說的Chaney的木乃伊是指1944年的電影《The Mummy's Ghost》。
The Mummy是1932年Boris Karloff主演的的經典木乃伊電影,后來大家熟悉的《木乃伊歸來》那個系列就是根據這部翻拍的,Bren居然是看了這部電影想要成為人類學家呀~~有意思。

It's an instant old wives' tale.
old wives' tale 無稽之談
字面上的意思就是老奶奶講的故事,就是家里的老祖母給兒孫輩講的傳說寓言之類,通常這些故事都有些教育意味在里面,用以防止小孩子不乖,或者比方說讓他們多吃菠菜啥的,所以這類故事當中有很多夸張的情節(jié)和錯誤的細節(jié)。

Eggheads killing each other over exhibits no one really wants to see.
egghead 【俚語】有知識的人,受過高等教育的人,理論家
看字面就覺得是個帶有一點調侃意味的詞兒,egghead特指那些受過高等教育,聰明絕頂——注意——絕頂的人,特別是那些教授什么的。大家印象當中教授都是腦袋光光,早早地謝了頂,那形象不就是一個個雞蛋腦袋了?

- Because I'm what you've got in common. ?
- If you're concerned that I'd discuss any perceived shortcomings...

Not cool, Bren. Not cool at all.

-Really?Because,according to witnesses,you were arguing with her in the middle of the titan exhibit. ?
- He means titian. Titian was a 16th century renaissance painter from the italian school,booth. Titans were ancient greek gods...
Titian提香是意大利文藝復興鼎盛期威尼斯畫派的代表畫家。
Titans是指希臘神話中統(tǒng)治黃金時期的12位泰坦神,包括俄刻阿洛斯 (Oceanus)、科俄斯 (Coeus)、克利俄斯 (Crius)、伊阿珀托斯(Iapetus)、福柏 (Phoebe)、特提斯 (Thethys)、克洛諾斯 (Kronos)、瑞亞 (Rhea)、忒彌斯(Themis)、莫涅莫緒涅(Mnemosyne)、許珀里翁 (Hyperion)、忒伊亞 (Theia)、提坦(Titans)。而后被新一代的奧林匹斯神取代。
