影片對白：
Mrs. Myers: A few ground rules for this classroom. No talking. No chewing gum. No electronic devices. Beforewarned. If you download any essay off the Internet, you'll be downloaded into detention. Let's start the year off on the right foot and all do our own work. I expect you to take notes.
Scott: Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. Know what that is? My loser detector. [Continues beeping]
Mrs. Myers: Jesse Aarons! I got it from your sisters. I certainly do not need it from you.
Jess: Oh, man.
Mrs. Myers: That goes for you as well.
Scott: He hit me.
Jess: [Scoffs]
Gary: You're dead meat.
Mrs. Myers: Scott Hoager and Gary Fulcher, be quiet! Now, back to what we were discussing before we were so rudely interrupted.
Scott: Sweet sneaks, Aarons. You wear your sisters' hand-me-down underwear too?
Gary: He asked you a question, twinkle toes.
[Knock on door]
Principal Turner: Good morning, kids. Welcome back. I hope you had a great summer. Mrs. Myers, this is Leslie Burke, who will be joining your class. Leslie, welcome to Lark Creek.
Leslie: Thanks.
Mrs. Myers: Thank you, Principal Turner. [Class whispering]
Mrs. Myers: Well, Leslie, um, you'll sit at my desk this morning, until we can figure out where to squeeze you in.
[Class laughs]
Mrs. Myers: [Exhales] I like to start the year with a little fun. I want you all to write a one-page essay about your favorite hobby.
[Class groans]
Mrs. Myers: Yes?
Madison: Mrs. Myers, when you say one page, did you mean both sides of the paper?
Mrs. Myers: You can do one side, Madison.
Madison: I'll do two.
***************
Janice: Yeah, that's cool.
Girl 1: No way!
Girl 2: It was so amazing.
Girl 3: Can I have this?
Janice: You could have two bucks out of it all. I'm getting most of it, OK?
Leslie: Excuse me.
Janice: Got a dollar?
Leslie: No.
Janice: Then you're gonna have to use your pants.
Leslie: What's your problem?
Janice: You got that backwards, freak. You got the problem.
Girl: That's right, new girl.
Leslie: Nice feet.
Janice: You say something?
Leslie: What I said was, have you ever heard the story about the trolls under the bridges who collect tolls from unlucky travelers?
Girl: Trolls? What is she talking about?
[Gasps]
Janice: Nice try, beanpole. [Whispering] It's still a dollar.
Boys: Yeah! Let's do it. Do it.
Teacher: Next grade, line up. Let's do this thing. Come on. Fulcher, Hoager, get in here. Get ready. Come on. Let's get this race started. Come on.
Scott: Beep, beep, beep.
Gary: Dead meat.
Teacher: Back behind the line. You know how it goes. Back behind. Come on.
Scott: Hey, new girl. This is just for guys. Hey, I'm talking to you!
Jess: What's the matter? Afraid a girl's gonna beat you?
Teacher: On your mark. Get set.
Gary: Dead meat.
[All cheering]
Teacher: Go, Hoager! Get in there!
May Belle: Go! Go, Jess, go! Come on! Come on! You can do it! Come on, Jess! Go, Jess, go! Jess, Jess, did you win?
Leslie: Hey, Jess, right?
妙語佳句 活學活用

3. detention: （處罰學生的）課后留校。
4. start off on the right foot: 有一個順利的開始。更常見的表達方式是：get off on the right foot（一開頭就順利），反之就是get off on the wrong foot（一開頭就不順利）。請看例子：
I finally got a date with that new girl in class but I sure got off on the wrong foot with her, I had car trouble and got to her place almost two hours late.
那天我終于和班上的那位新來的女同學約好了出去玩?？墒牵翘煳业能嚦隽藛栴}，晚了兩個小時才去接她，所以一開頭就把事情弄糟了。
5. detector: 探測器。
6. You're dead meat: 你死定了。dead meat有“處境艱難，倒大霉”的意思。
7. hand-me-down: 傳下來的，別人用過的。例如：hand-me-down clothes（別人穿過的舊衣服）。hand-me-down也可以表示“現成而價廉質次的”。
另外，hand-me-down也可以作名詞用，意思是“傳下來的東西，遺物；別人用過的舊東西；別人穿過的舊衣服”或“現成的廉價衣服”?？匆幌吕樱?/p>
