久别重逢
1.惯用口语句子:
It's been a long time.

这里的“It's”是“It has”的缩写,而不是“It is”。

3.详细解说
1.“What,s new?”是见面打招呼时常用的寒暄语,可译为“有什么新鲜事吗?”或“有什么新变化吗?”。
2.“go well”是“进展顺利,进展得好”的意思,与“go smoothly”、“go fine”意义相同。
3.“get back”是“回来”的意思,例如:I have just got back from the company.(我刚从公司回来。)
4.“hold sb. up”的意思是“阻挡或耽误某人(做某事)”,例如:Sorry,I,m late.I was held up at work.(对不起,我来晚了。我因
为工作上的事情耽误了。)
5.“stay in touch"的意思是“保持联系”,相当于“keep in touch”,例如:Anyway,we must stay/keep in touch.(无论如何,我们必须保持联系。)
4.文化洗礼
《魂断蓝桥》:火车站的久别重逢
在影片《魂断蓝桥》(Waterloo Bridge)中,在战争中幸存下来的Roy满心欢喜地回到家乡,在火车站不期而遇已经沦落风尘的恋人Myra。Roy喜出望外,他并不知道Myra的处境,还以为Myra是来接他的,于是讲起话来滔滔不绝;可Myra却只重复着一句“你还活着”。生活的辛酸无奈、命运的无情捉弄以及久别重逢的惊喜,都体现在下面这短短的几句话里:
Roy: Myra! Myra! I can't believe it! It is you. isn't it? It's really you!
Myra: Oh Roy!
Roy: It's really you! Oh darling, let me look at you - I'm not dreaming, am I? Think of finding you here waiting for me. It's a miracle!
Myra: Roy, you're alive.
Roy: Over the months I've waited for this moment. I'd begun to think it would never come. How did you know I was coming? Did
you telephone mother? No darling, none of that. Chin up, where's your nerve? It's over, darling it's all over. We're together
for always.
Myra: Oh Roy, you're alive,
Roy:Yes, extravagantly. Oh, my poor darling, come on. we'll go sit down.
