-Can I come in?
-Er, yeah, well, I'm a bit busy...
-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, can I say something? I know you're Peter's best friend and I know you've never particularly warmed to me. Look, don't, don't argue. We've never got friendly. But I wanted to say, I hope that can change. I'm nice. I really am. Apart from my terrible taste in pie and... It would be great if we could be friends.
-Absolutely. Absolutely.
-Great. 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 it so...
-This one says "Peter and Juliet's Wedding". Do you think we might be on the right track?
-Er, yeah, well... Wow. That-that could be it.
-Do you mind if I...?
-I've probably taped over it. Almost everything's episodes of West Wing.
-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 look quite pretty. You've stayed rather close. They're all of me.
-Yeah. Yeah. Yes.
-But... you never talk to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me.
-I hope it's useful. Don't show it around too much. Needs a bit of editing. Look, I've got to get to a... lunch. Early lunch. You can just show yourself out, can't you? It's a... self-preservation thing, you see.
Check sth out意思就是“把......查出來(lái)/弄出來(lái)”
例如：
What are you doing here? Well, I’m here to check my bag out.我來(lái)這里是找我的包的。
Don’t make any haste decisions before we check it out.在市區(qū)調(diào)查好志氣，先不要果斷下結(jié)論。
Swap sth for sth
“用......換......”的意思。例如：
Can I swap the chocolate for some apples?我能用蘋果換點(diǎn)巧克力嗎？
另外，要注意一個(gè)短語(yǔ)：swap meet，雖然在此片中沒(méi)有提到，但是也很重要，指的就是flea market跳蚤市場(chǎng)。
You’ve never particular warmed to me.
“你從來(lái)都沒(méi)有對(duì)我熱情過(guò)”，這句話不能這么翻譯，一定要反過(guò)來(lái)才可以：你一向?qū)ξ叶歼@么冷淡。例如：
He’s never particular warmed to anybody.他對(duì)誰(shuí)都那樣，冷冰冰的。
On the right track
在理解這句話的意思之前，我們先要看一下track這個(gè)詞。通常情況下，track指的是“路徑”的意思，等同于path。在英語(yǔ)中我們有這樣的表達(dá)，be on the right path正確的道路上/已經(jīng)有了正確的選擇。同樣的On the right track也是一樣的意思。在本部影片中表達(dá)的是“我們也許選對(duì)了”。?
