【导语】莎士比亚说：“Love is blind.”，爱情是永恒的话题，以爱情为题材的电影不胜枚举。向大家推荐一部非常浪漫的爱情影片——The Holiday(中文名：恋爱假期）。两个爱情之路荆棘遍地的女人在圣诞节交换了房子却意外收获了各自的爱情。当然，除了看电影，学习其中的经典口语表达也很重要。
Scene 1 Iris’s unrequited love场景一：Iris的单相思
1. head over heels神魂颠倒圣诞前夕，Iris的公司在举行派对，而她无心庆祝，悲情满满，全是因为爱上了一个并不爱她的男人。
I was head over heels, you know? Everyone knew.我神魂颠倒了，你知道吗？大家一定都知道。Notes: head over heels原意是“头朝下，颠倒”，在这里表示“深陷，神魂颠倒”。例：
He tumbled head over heels in the grass.他头朝下脚朝天摔进草地。She is head over heels about Harry Potter series.她特别迷*系列。He was head over heels in love with her.他爱她爱得神魂颠倒。
2. rush off匆匆离开，赶紧去Iris的单恋对象Jasper前一秒还在和她聊“旧情”，后一秒就被宣布即将迎娶发行部的一位同事。Iris的心情跌到谷底，用她自己的话说就是“Low point.”
Before some of you rush off on holiday, I do have one rather important announcement.在某些同事赶着去度假之前，我有个非常重要的消息要宣布。Notes: rush off表示“冲出”，急于做某事。另有短语“rush off sb’s feet”表示“忙得不可开交”。例：
She got up late this morning. Now she has to rush off and catch the train.[/en]她早上起迟了，现在不得不匆匆忙忙地去赶火车。[en]Tomorrow we’ll have a big show. I am rushed off my feet in the office today.
明天有个大秀，我今天在办公室忙得不可开交。
Scene 2: Amanda breaks up with her boyfriend.场景二：Amanda和男朋友分手了
3. bug烦扰
nuts抓狂一大早，Amanda就在和男友争吵，分手。Amanda自从父母离婚后就再也没有哭过，和男友分手也留不出一滴眼泪。不过，后面的剧情证明她只是还没有遇到让自己深爱的对象。
Amanda: Why does it bug you so much that I can’t cry?阿曼达：你为啥这么介意我哭不出来？Her boyfriend:I didn’t mean that. You get me nuts sometimes, I say things I don’t mean.她的男友：我不是那个意思，你让我抓狂的时候我总会说些口不对心的话。Notes:“bug”的含义非常多，愿意指“小虫子”，在此处表示“烦扰，使……恼怒”；“nuts”原意是“坚果”，在这里表示“抓狂，发疯，忙乱”，有个同义短语“go nuts”例：
Stop bugging me! I have a lot of work to do.别烦我啦！我还有好多工作要做。I would go nuts if she keeps talking like that.她再那样絮叨我会发疯的！
4. have a high opinion of认为好I know you have a very high opinion of yourself, but this isn’t all me.我知道你对自己评价很高，但这并不只是我的问题。Notes: 此短语表示“对……评价高，觉得……好”，近义的短语有“think highly of ”。例：
They have a high opinion of their English teacher.他们对英语老师评价很高。I think highly of that student for his diligence and honesty.我很欣赏那名学员的勤奋和诚实。

两个在圣诞前夕濒临精神崩溃的女人就这样在网上达成协议，交换房子，离开熟悉的环境出去散心。
5. hole up躲藏Hole up in a house somewhere. Disappear for a few weeks.找栋房子窝着，消失几个礼拜。Notes:“hole up”表示“躲藏，避难”，例句如下：

6. snuggle up依偎Snuggle up by an old stone fireplace and enjoy a cup of cocoa.依偎在古老的石头壁炉旁喝杯热可可。Notes: 用于口语，与snuggle同义，表示“依偎，紧贴”。例：
