Welcome to English @ the Movies, where we teach you American English heard at the movies.
欢迎来到《看电影学英语》节目，我们在这里教授你在电影中听到的美式英语。
Our saying today comes from the 2018 movie Tomb Raider.
我们今天的表达出自2018年上映的电影《古墓丽影：源起之战》。
The heroine of the film Lara Croft is a young woman who learns that her father is missing, and likely dead.
影片的女主角劳拉·克劳馥是一位年轻女性，她得知自己的父亲失踪了，而且很可能已经死亡。
Listen for the phrase "pick up where he left off".
留意听一下pick up where he left off这个短语。
What's your name? Lara. Surname? Croft.
你的名字是？劳拉。姓什么？克劳馥。
Lara, your father's gone.
劳拉，你爸爸走了。
You can pick up where he left off.
你可以完成他未竟的事业。
I see so much of him in you.
我在你身上看到许多他的影子。
So do you think "pick up where he left off" means clean up the mess he made or finish the work he started?
那么，你认为pick up where he left off的意思是收拾他的烂摊子还是完成他的工作？
Listen again, did you have the right answer?
再听一遍，你答对了吗？
What's your name? Lara. Surname? Croft.
你的名字是？劳拉。姓什么？克劳馥。
Lara, your father's gone.
劳拉，你爸爸走了。
You can pick up where he left off.
你可以完成他未竟的事业。
I see so much of him in you.
我在你身上看到许多他的影子。
"Pick up where he left off" means "finish the work he started".
Pick up where he left off意为“完成他的工作”。
"Left off" is another way of saying ended.
Left off是ended的另一种说法。
Especially if you have to ends something before it is really done.
尤其是指当你必须将某件事真正完结的时候。
In this action movie, the father is a famous archeologist.
在这部动作片中，劳拉的父亲是个有名的考古学家。
He tells his daughter about an organization that wants to start a global genocide. He says "Lara must stop them".
他告诉女儿有一个组织想要开始进行全球性的种族灭绝屠杀。他说，“劳拉必须阻止他们。”
In other words, finish the project he was not able to complete.
换句话说，劳拉必须完成他无法完成的工作。
And that is English @ the Movies.
以上就是今天的《看电影学英语》。
