详细解说
“wake up”在这里是个不及物动词词组,意思是“醒来”,另外,还可以
表示“开始听或者开始注意某事”。例如:James usually wakes up early.
(翟姆士通常醒得很早。)Wake up at the back there!(注意后边!)另
外,“wake sb. up”表示“叫醒某人”,是个及物动词词组。例如:I'll wake you up when it's time to leave.(该走的时候我会叫醒你的。)
“go off”在本段对话中表示闹钟“响”。
“You slept right through it.”的意思是说“闹铃响的整个过程中,你都在睡觉。”,所以译为“你睡过了。”“it”指“闹铃响的时候”。“through”在本句话中表示“(时间上)从开始到结束”,例如:He slept right through the day.(他睡了整整一天。)
“Rise and shine!”是口语中一种幽默的表达方式,表示“起床!”。
?“The early bird catches/gets the worm.”是一句谚语,意思是“早起的鸟才会有虫吃。”

Forrest Gump 《阿甘正传》(1)
生活就像一盒巧克力。
Life Was like a Box of Chocolates.
大部分人都在一定程度上觉得自己很聪明,并且为了能够“更好地”生活,变得越来越世故。观看完《阿甘正传》这部美国经典奥斯卡影片之后,我们不禁为我们这些自以为是的人感到些许惋惜。影片中的阿甘是一位有智力残障的人,他思想单纯,只知道一直坚持不懈地做自己想做又喜欢做的事情,却能接二连三意外地收获“成功”。他的一句经典台词“生活就像一盒巧克力,你永远不知道自己会得到什么。”道出了阿甘对生活的态度:未来是无法预测的,只要我们认认真真地做好每件事情,快快乐乐地过好每一天,生活就是美好的。下面节选的是阿甘在公交车站等车时,跟一位妇人交谈时的一段台词,现在结合声音资料,让我们一起体会阿甘对生活的态度…
从左边下床, 还是从右边下床呢
你每天早上起床是从左边下床还是从右边下床呢?也许你会说为什么要问这么无聊的问题?你也许没有注意到,不论从左边下床还是从右边下床,每个人总是固定从一边下床的,不会今天从左边下,明天从右边下。
当然这无非是个人习惯问题,的确是无关紧要的,但英国人却在这个问题上大作文章。他们认为,一个人如果不按自己的习惯,换一边下床,即“get out of bed from the wrong side”,便会导致心情不好(in bad mood),容易发脾气(easy to lose one’s temper):
Don’t talk with him. He must have got out of bed from the wrong side and is in a very irritable mood. 你别和他说话。他今天心情不好,火气很大。
