活學活用
1. not have a clue
Not have a clue 也是一個慣用表達，意思是“have no idea or inkling about something 沒有一點線索，一點都不知情”，比如：Jane doesn't have a clue as to why John won't call her. 簡一點兒也不明白為什么約翰不給她打電話。
2. Who the bloody hell is that?
“他媽的那到底是誰？”The bloody hell 這里是用來加強語氣的。似乎臟話總能起到這樣的效果。
3. bet one's life
字面上看是“用生命打賭”，引申為用“拿一切打賭”和“確信，管保沒錯”。例如：I bet my life that John will lose in the election. 約翰管保會輸?shù)暨x舉的。
4. I'm sorry about earlier
“我為之前的事/行為道歉?！?BR> 5. under the circumstances
這個片語也寫作in the circumstances，意思是“given these conditions, such being the case在這種情況下，在這種場合下”，比如：Under the circumstances we can't leave Mary out. 在這種情況下我們不能不考慮瑪麗。
6. Grace has literally just arrived
這里的literally意思是“真實的，確切的”，比如：There are people in the world who literally do not know how to cook. 世界上確實有人不知道該怎么做吃的。
7. They'll be forever.
這是一句類似比喻的話，因為Mrs Parker 總是絮絮叨叨，沒完沒了。這句話的意思就是“她們會談很久的”。
文化面面觀
電影中人物名字的寓意
Keeping Mum是一幕黑色戲劇，劇中人物名字的設定或是根據(jù)人物的性格，或是和人物性格相反，起到了一種強烈的戲劇效果。
首先我們來說說故事的主人公Mrs Goodfellow 一家。Goodfellow 的意思就是“好人”了，牧師也確實是個“老好人”，全心跟隨上帝，不懂得怎么拒絕別人，知道妻子出軌也不聞不問，知道女兒亂搞男人也不干涉，知道兒子受欺負也毫無辦法……總之，就是一個受氣的“老好人”形象。而他的名字Walter來自于古德語，意思是“強有力的戰(zhàn)士”，和他影片前半段的人生正好相反。
Walter 的老婆叫Gloria，這個詞來源于拉丁語，意思是“榮耀”?？墒撬齾s因為丈夫的冷漠而感情出軌，做了不榮耀的事。
女兒Holly，名字來源于古英語，意思是“神圣的”，可其實她是個“泡男狂”，夠諷刺的。
兒子Peter，名字來源于耶穌基督的十二位門徒之一，這個詞的本意是“巖石”，比喻“堅強”，可其實兒子是個受氣包，常被其他孩子欺負。
管家Grace，這個名字的意思是“恩惠”，源自拉丁語，可指“上帝的恩惠”。她的到來確實讓牧師一家的生活上了正軌。只不過這個“恩惠”行事的辦法不是一般人可以承受的了的。
