影片對白 Benjamin, I am
getting pretty tired of all this suspicion.
3. to be available to
“可以得到的；可以得手的；隨時為他服務”。Mrs. Robinson 明確告訴本，他可以隨時與她發生關系。
4. I found you're attractive.
“我覺得你真可愛”。這次勾引本雖然沒有成功，但是，看到本驚慌失措，而且并沒有義正言辭地斥責她，Mrs. Robinson 感到有仍然希望。Find
someone / something... 是一個常用的結構，表示認為某人或某事如何。后面加形容詞。如：我覺得這本書很有意思：I find the book
interesting. 我覺得這個人很沒勁：I find the person boring.
文化面面觀
To rob the cradle
老少配
在這部電影里，我們可以用一個確切的短語來表示 Mrs. Robinson對本的追求和兩人之間的關系: To rob the
cradle 或者說Mrs. Robinson robbed the cradle.
這個俚語形容年紀較大的人追求年紀相差較大或很年輕的異性，與其談戀愛或結婚。中文里老夫少妻和老妻少夫說的就是這個意思。但平時也可以當作一種夸張的，玩笑的說法。如：A
forth-year boy is dating a freshman girl. He has robbed the
cradle.一個大四的男生與一個一年的女生談戀愛。簡直是老少配嘛。
Mrs. Robinson對本的引誘進入了是步步緊逼，不由分說的階段。而本則驚慌失措，倉惶躲閃。可以說是驚心動魄。幾個回合下來，Mrs.
Robinson愈發成竹在胸，勢在必得。如果不是Mr. Robinson恰好趕回，后果是顯而易見的。
