看电影学英语（四）

今天，看破产姐妹花Max又出恩么状况了？地道英语跟小编趣味学起来：

-Caroline, what is my number-one diner rule?
-Don't tell anyone the meat isn't real?
-Come on. If you can see it, it's real.
-Don't tell anyone you buy the shrimp out of your friend's trunk?
-He lays down a blanket! No. No phones.
-Max, he got us the reservation! I'm going to dinner at the new "it" place.
-Ooh, the "it" place! "Let's have dinner at the 'it' place." How come this isn't the "it" place?
-This isn't an "it" place. It's more of an "it" hole.
-Okay, so how do we become an "it" place?
-First, burn the place down, start fresh. Then you create hype by making it impossible to get a reservation. You basically refuse to let anyone in.
-Can I be the first?

-卡洛琳，我餐厅的头号规矩是啥？
-别告诉别人我们用假肉吗？
-哪有啊，你们眼能见，就是真的啊。
-别告诉别人你是从朋友后车厢买来的虾子吗？
-他有垫一层布！不是这些啦，是不许用手机。
-麦克斯，他订到位了，我要去最新的潮店吃晚餐了。
-哎哟，潮店呢！"咱们去潮店吃晚饭吧。"为什么我这里就不是"潮店"呢？
-这里何止不是潮店，这里是"潮坑"吧。
-好，那我们怎么能变成潮店呢？
-首先烧掉这店，重新盖过。然后你要弄起一波热潮让这里能火到位子都订不到。基本上就是谁都不让进。
-能第一个不让我进吗？
