本章要点
看完能带走什么- 会用 in spite of 表达“尽管”
- 掌握 take out insurance 的固定搭配
- 听懂 kicked the bucket 的委婉说法
- 分辨 Nice going 的真诚与反讽
常被搜到的问题
先看问题，再对照台词in spite of everything 是什么意思？
意思是“尽管发生了这一切”，常用来表示经历波折后仍坚持某个选择。
kicked the bucket 怎么翻译？
它是“去世了”的非正式委婉说法，带一点戏谑，正式场合不要用。
take out insurance 是买保险吗？
是，take out insurance 就是投保、购买保险，也可以说 take out a policy。
Nice going 为什么可能是反讽？
它本来是“干得漂亮”，但在尴尬或出错的情境里，也可反过来讽刺对方。
《His Girl Friday》的午餐戏在较量什么？
Walter 表面祝福 Hildy 的婚事，实际不断试探并安排办法拖住她去 Albany 的火车。
