妙语佳句，活学活用
1. Be allergic to
Allergic 的意思就是“过敏性的，有过敏特征的，由过敏引起的”，要说“对……过敏”用 be allergic to 即可，例如：My son is highly allergic to penicillin (青霉素).
另外，allergic 在口语中还可以表示“对……反感，厌恶”，例如：I’m allergic to the job and I really want to quit.
2. Genovian attaché corps
Attaché 是个法语词，意思是“（外交使团）的专员”，看来法语在Genovia还是上流语言。
3. Where am I
这句话在这里的意思是“我说道哪儿啦？”通常在被人打断后，想不起来自己刚才说到哪里了，都会说这句话。
4. In a moment
意思是“一会儿，不久；立即，马上”，例如：I"ll be back in a moment. （我马上回来。）
5. Shoot
在俚语中，shoot 可以表示“开始讲话”，通常用于祈使句中，例如：I know you have something to tell me, so shoot!
6. Braces
这里指的是校正牙齿用的“牙箍”，通常用复数。
7. Crown prince 皇太子，皇储
8. Shut up
如影片中所解释的那样，shut up 的意思不仅仅表示“闭嘴”，还可以表示惊叹：不是吧，天啊！
影片简介
The Princess Diaries 公主日记
The Princess Diaries
is a comedy-drama film and the screen adaptation of Meg Cabot"s 2000 novel of the same name. The film stars Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis, a teenager who discovers that she is the heir to the throne of the fictional Genovia, ruled by her grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi, who is portrayed by Julie Andrews.
Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) is a fifteen-year-old tenth grade private school student who lives with her mother Helen (Caroline Goodall) and cat Fat Louie in a San Francisco firehouse; her father died two months earlier in a car crash. Although she is an average student, she is very unpopular, but has two good friends: Lilly Moscovitz (Heather Matarazzo) and her brother Michael (Robert Schwartzman), who has a crush on her. Mia is regularly teased by her peers for her gawkiness and frizzy hair, mostly by Lana Thomas (Mandy Moore), a fellow tenth grader who is captain of the school cheerleading team, and her friends. Mia is jealous of Lana because she is in a relationship with Josh Bryant (Erik von Detten), a twelfth grader whom she has had a crush on since grade school.
Shortly before Mia"s sixteenth birthday, she learns from her mother that her paternal grandmother is visiting from Genovia, a fictional country in Europe. At first Mia does not want to see her, but agrees to after some persuasion. The next day, Mia meets her grandmother, Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews), for the first time, who explains that the reason she wanted to see her was because of a "life-changing" problem. Clarisse is the queen of Genovia and confides that the coming three weeks would result in whether the throne remained in their bloodline. Because her father died, Mia is the only heir to the Genovian throne. She is shocked to learn that she is a princess and exclaims "shut up!" to her grandmother"s disapproval. Mia quickly leaves the house and returns home, after which she begins fighting with her mother for not telling her when she was younger.
Mia"s mother and grandmother convince her to attend "princess lessons" in preparation for her introduction to the Genovian government. Under supervision from her new bodyguard, the head of Genovian security, Joe (Hector Elizondo), Mia begins to forget to help Lilly with her homework or watch Michael"s band Flypaper perform at a nearby auto mechanic shop. To look more presentable to the Genovian government, Mia receives a makeover from Italian hairdresser Paolo (Larry Miller), after which Lilly confronts her for being so distant. When Mia tells Lilly that she is a princess, their relationship becomes stronger than before.
A couple of days later, San Francisco learns that Mia is the Genovian heir after Paolo tells the media so everybody will know that he is the one that made Princess Mia look like a princess. Although unimpressed, Clarisse opts to ignore the situation and prepares for the State Dinner, which Mia attends, though managing to somewhat humiliate herself in the process. The day after the State Dinner, Mia agrees to appear on Lilly"s public access television program Shut Up and Listen and to watch Michael"s band perform at a venue that Saturday night. However, Josh asks Mia to go with him to the Baker Beach Bash, the school"s annual beach party, and she excitedly agrees. She remembers to tell Michael that she will watch see his band the following Saturday night, but forgets to tell Lilly of the change. The beach party goes well at first, but spirals out of control when the media learn of Mia"s presence. Josh publicly embarrasses her by kissing her in front of photographers, and Lana helps them take pictures of her clad only in a towel. This causes a media frenzy and displeases Clarisse.
To reconstruct her friendships with Lilly and Michael, Mia invites them to the Genovian Independence Day Ball, where she must reveal whether or not she wants to accept her duties as a princess. Originally intent on running away to Colorado, Mia finds a sixteenth birthday gift and letter from her father, written before his death. After reading the letter, she changes her mind and makes her way to the ball, as it begins raining. Joe finds her drenched halfway to the event. Upon arrival, Mia makes a speech announcing her acceptance to the Genovian throne. She is happy to see that her friends attended, and kisses Michael in the garden. The film ends with the cast dancing informally, and Mia on an airplane arriving in Genovia as she narrates the coming summer"s events.
