小紫帶你輕鬆學美劇 第32期
Gone girl
大家好，到了我們第三天讀書時刻了。今天仍然帶給大家的是Amy日記的部分。
His-and-her layoffs, isn’t that sweet? I know we are luckier than most: I go online and check my trust fund whenever I get nervous. I never called it a trust fund before Nick did; it’s actually not that grand. I mean, it’s nice, it’s great--$785,404 that I have in savings thanks to my parents. But it’s not the kind of money that allows you to stop working forever, especially not in New York. My parents’ whole point was to make me feel secure enough so I didn’t need to make choices based on money—in schooling, in career—but not so well-off that I could be tempted to check out. Nick makes fun, but I think it’s a great gesture for parents to make.
不幸運的是Amy和Nick都被裁員了，但是Amy的父母有給她留一筆錢，Nick稱之爲信任基金，每當Amy覺得不安緊張的時候，她都會去看看信任基金。多虧她的父母給了她這筆錢，這筆錢不是讓Amy永遠停止工作，而是讓她可以不考慮金錢方面選擇自己的教育和職業。這筆錢是讓Amy覺得有安全感。
Lay-off：裁員，解僱
Get nervous: 感到緊張不安
Savings: 儲蓄金，存款
