本文是經(jīng)典愛情電影對白系列The Lake House(湖邊小屋，又叫“觸不到的戀人”)的第三段對白。

一個(gè)清冷的早晨，Kate離開伊利諾伊州美麗的湖邊小屋，去繁忙的芝加哥醫(yī)院工作。其實(shí)她不愿離開這個(gè)寬敞明亮、甚至還能在房中看到湖景的地方。Kate離開時(shí)在門外的信箱里留下了一封信，希望小屋的下一個(gè)住客能轉(zhuǎn)交她的信件，還順便解釋說前門擦不掉的爪印早在自己搬進(jìn)的時(shí)候就已存在，希望不要介意……

Kate：Dear new tenant, welcome to your new home. As the previous tenant, let me say, I hope you'll like living here as much as I did. I filed the change of address with the post office but, you know what a crapshoot that can be. So if anything slips through, would you do me a favor and forward my mail? I'd appreciate it. My new address is below. Thanks in advance. P.S.:

Alex：Sorry about the paw prints by the front door. They were there when l moved in. Same with the box in the attic. Paw prints? What the hell is she talking a bout?

Kate：Hey, baby girl. Hi. Hi. Hey. Fix the light. Get dog food, huh? Get human food.

注釋：

1. tenant：n. 房客

2. crapshoot：有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的事業(yè)。這里指Kate擔(dān)心郵局會(huì)出錯(cuò)，仍然把她的信寄到舊的地址。

3. do me a favor：幫我一個(gè)忙。

4. I'd appreciate it.：這句是在美國口語里經(jīng)常用到的表示“感謝、感激”的話。

5. in advance：提前，預(yù)先

6. attic：n. 閣樓，頂樓

7. what the hell：(用以加強(qiáng)語氣或咒罵)究竟，到底，也是口語里常用的。
