看《地心歷險記2》學地道口語：一家人在一起就是財富
【內容簡介】
歷險電影《地心歷險記2：神祕島》，源於17歲的肖恩·安德森（喬什·哈切森飾演）收到的一組發自無人知曉的神祕島密碼求救信號。
因爲無法勸阻肖恩追蹤信號來源，肖恩的繼父漢克（道恩·強森飾演）只能陪着他一起踏上這段南太平洋之行。而他們最終的目的地，是一座沒幾個活人親眼見過的島嶼。那裏風光旎麗，鳥語花香；珍禽異獸，應有盡有；金山火山，歎爲觀止；是座無奇不有的神祕天堂。 他們倆只找到一個，願意跟他們鋌而走險的直升機駕駛員，嘎巴託（路易斯·古茲曼飾演），和他美麗，堅強的女兒凱蘭尼（凡妮莎·哈金斯飾演），四人一起踏上了這段尋島之旅。選段中，Gabato因禍得福，發現了很大很大的金球，但是女兒Kailani告訴他，只要家人在一起就是幸福。同時，Sean和Hank準備下海探險……
【選段臺詞】
Sean: There's Poseidon's Trident, right where it's supposed to be.
Hank: We need the cliff. This is just shoreline.
Sean: The Nautilus is supposed to be inside of a cave right here.
Hank: Maybe the map is wrong.
Sean: Let me see it.
Hank: Sean, we are in the right place.
Sean: Well, then where's the cave? Where's the Nautilus?
Hank: Down there. The sea level's risen over 100 feet in the last 24 hours.
Sean: I can't believe this is happening. We're too late. It's over.
Hank: No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay. We just gotta think. We just gotta think of a way to get... I got it.
Sean: What?
Hank: Scuba tanks.
Sean: Are we listing things that we don't have? Okay, a jet pack, a girlfriend, calligraphy paper.
Hank: No, no, listen to me. We just "Calligraphy paper"?
Sean: It popped into my head.
Hank: We have a couple of dry bags, right?
Sean: Yeah.
Hank: Okay, so we take what we salvaged from the beach, and we build makeshift scuba tanks. No short breaths no wasted movements. Make sure you equalize ear pressure as you go down.
Sean: You know if we die down there... Mom's gonna kill us.
Hank: Then let's do this.
Kailani: Papa? Papa.
Gabato: What are you doing here? You're supposed to be back at the Nautilus. I'll meet you back there.
Kailani: Papa, stop. Stop. Papa, stop!
Gabato: Baby, this is our one chance. Our one chance to send you to college. To give you a different life, a better life.
Kailani: Papa. We'll have all the wealth we'll ever need... just as long as we're together. Let's go home.
Gabato: All right. All right. Okay.
Sean's Grandpa: Double-time, Gabby.
Hank: Okay, it's only 100 feet down, and we've got two hits of air with this.
Sean: Right.
Hank: Are you ready?
Sean: Am I ready? Are you ready?
Hank: Oh, I'm totally ready.
Sean: Well, I'm totally ready.
Hank: Well, I'm probably more ready than you.
Sean: No, there's no way. I'm, like, twice as ready as you are. We're procrastinating out of fear, aren't we?
Hank: Oh, absolutely.
Sean: Yeah.

Sean發現Hank還有辦法，於是說道：“我們是要列舉一些沒有的東西嗎？好吧，噴射器，女朋友，宣紙……” Hank聽出來Sean是在開玩笑，解釋道：“不不，聽着，我們只是……”然後靈光一現，“宣紙？”Sean回答道：“突然想到的。”他們馬上要開始動手做簡易的潛水氣瓶啦。“pop into one's head”意爲“突然出現在……的腦海裏”。
3. make sure

4. as long as
當Kailani發現爸爸正在費力的挖金球，Kailani告訴爸爸停下，因爲就算是挖出來了，也沒有辦法把它帶走。但是Gabato堅持：“親愛的，這是我們唯一的機會，我們唯一能送你讀大學的機會。給你一個煥然一新的生活，更好的生活。”Kailani勸他：“爸爸，只要我們能在一起，我們就能享有取之不盡的財富。我們回家吧！”“as long as”意爲“只要”，“只需”。
