Dr.Marsha: ... and I don't want toinvade your privacy.
Sam and Annie: Sure you do.
Dr.Marsha: Go on, Sam. I'm listening. Sam?

Dr.Marsha: I have no doubt that you're a wonderful father. You know, you can tell a lot from a person's voice.
Sam: You certainly can.
Dr.Marsha: But something must be missing if Jonah still feelsyou're under a cloud. Now just a few questions: Are you sleeping at night?
Jonah: He doesn't sleep at all.
Sam: How do you know that?
Jonah: I live here, dad.
Sam: Look, it's Christmas. Maggie, my wife, she really... I mean, she loved... she made everything beautiful. It's justtoughthis time of year. Any kid needs a mother.

妙词佳句，活学活用
1. invade your privacy
每个人都有自己的隐私，而每个人又都有维护自己的隐私的办法。至于管不管用，就要另当别论了。其实说到隐私，似乎老外会更注意一些，比如：年龄，工资，住址，甚至婚否，这都是我们不可以直接问的，而一旦直接问了会发生什么事情呢? "You're invading his privacy." （你已经侵犯了他的隐私了!）
2. be under a cloud
很地道的美国俚语，但是很少有人会用，因为我们一直在说 I'm not feeling very well. 其实我们还可以再换一种说法来表达。比如当有人问你 How are you doing recently? 的时候，我们就可以说：Well, I'm under a cloud. （我的心情不是很好！）
3. tough
基本上所有不好的东西，我们都可以用tough这个词来表示！比如：那个讨厌的家伙，就可以是that tough guy。“你太粗暴了”就可以说成 You're too tough.
文化面面观
Seattle
Seattle, city in west central Washington State. The seat of King County, Seattle is the hub of the sprawling5 metropolitan6 region of Greater Seattle and is the largest city in Washington. There are 3.6 million people in Greater Seattle, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States. This growth reflects the success of local high-technology industries such as aerospace（航空业）, software, computer and electronic equipment（电子设备）, medical devices（医疗器械） and biotechnology（生物工艺）, and telecommunications products. IT也是Seattle的强势产业，这里是Bill Gates创业的地方。他们一家住在西雅图郊区的麦迪纳小镇上。
Space Needle
太空针塔是Seattle的标志性建筑，就像艾菲尔铁塔相对于巴黎的意义一样。位于市中心的太空针是1962年为世界博览会所建，占地74英亩，高185米。其奇特的造型就像是一个飞碟立在细细长长的金属上面，整体设计非常前卫，这正符合当年博览会迎向未来的主题。站在上面可以360度俯瞰西雅图的街景。
Public Market Center
始建于1907年的帕克市场, 最初是西雅图农民和渔夫们自发的农贸交易市场。1970年，反对政府拆除旧市场的市民们不但保住了这座历史性的建筑，还捐款将帕克市场在原地重新翻修，将旧有的帆布顶改成现在坚固的屋顶，使帕克市场焕然一新。现在，这里已经成为西雅图的标志之一，它的鲜明的"Public Market Center"招牌就在本部电影中出现过。
Union Lake
电影中的Sam住的船屋曾让你惊讶或是惊叹过吗？这个船屋就位于Union Lake这里。联合湖区最美的时候是天刚亮的清晨，宁静的湖面上笼罩着一层雾气，更能显示它的特别之处，而湖上悠哉闲哉的鸳鸯也为湖面增添了几分情趣。
