Welcome to English @ the Movies, where weteach you American English heard at the movies.

歡迎來到《看電影學英語》，我們在這裡教授電影中聽到的美式英語。

Today"s phrase is "time bomb,"from the movie The Big Short. It is about a financial crisis that led to hugelosses in banks and housing. Let"s take a look. Watch for the phrase "timebomb."

今天的片語是time bomb，出自電影《大空頭》，電影講述導致銀行和房地產業損失巨大的一次金融危機。看電影選段，找出片語time bomb。

So what does that mean? Is a "timebomb" A) a bomb that will go off at a set time or B) a kind of clock?Listen again and see if you are correct.

那麼，這個片語是什麼意思呢？time bomb是指A)在設定好的時間會爆炸的炸彈還是B)某類時鐘？再聽一遍，看你的理解是否正確。

A "time bomb" is one thatexplodes on a timer. The movie talks a crisis that will explode, not in actualbomb. A time bomb ticks or makes a clicking sound, building tension. People canbe time bombs too. Worry builds up and they can explode by yelling or using badlanguage.

Time bomb意指定時爆炸的炸彈。這部電影講述了隨時可能爆發的危機，並非指真正的定時炸彈，定時炸彈發出嘀嗒或嗒嗒的聲響，會營造一種緊張的分為。人也可能是定時炸彈，煩惱堆積，可能通過大喊大叫或者講髒話來發泄。

And that is English @ the Movies. I"mAmbor.
