妙语佳句，活学活用
1. joint
这是一个我们都很熟悉的单词，表示“结合点，关节”等等。
但是在这里如果我们按照这些意思去理解，就没办法理解这个句子的意思以及它和上面一句话的逻辑关系。上一句台词是：你知道的，老爸过去在这里和他们俩一起打过牌，如果joint取它的常用意思，“共享相关联的东西”好像说不过去。这里的joint表示一个特殊的意思：“大麻”或者“含大麻的香烟”，表示他们曾在一起“打牌，抽大麻”。
2. Seductive 诱人的
我们在电影里可以学到一些教科书上不太容易出现的单词，比如这一个。其实这个词可以表示非常好的意思，当然也可以是贬义的，尤其是在形容女人的容貌时。我们来看一些例子：
1) Her figure was slighter and therefore more SeductivethanNatalie.
她的身段比较苗条，因此比娜塔丽更加诱人。
2) She shouldnt wear her rather Seductive purple dress forthejourney.
她不应该穿这件相当诱惑人的紫衣服去。
3) This company gives us a Seductive offer on engineeringthemerger with us.
这家公司在计划跟我们的合并时给我们提出了有诱惑力的条件。
3. come up (short)
这是一个有很多意思的短语，在口语中很常用，它的意思有：
1) 走近，靠近
He came up to me and said: Come on, John!
2) 发生，出现
I was late-something came up at home.
3) 讨论
This subject came up at a news conference in Beijing today.
4) 成为，出现
The silk dress came up beautiful. 这件丝绸衣服(洗后)显得很漂亮。
在电影里，comeup的意思和我们上面提到的四种好像都不太一样，但是又有相似的地方。Come和short连用，通常是表示“手头紧，缺钱”。但是在这里Alex是说他们的父亲在做父亲和丈夫方面“有欠缺，不合格”。

思想火花
这一段围绕着亚历克斯和父亲的关系展开，凸现了两人在事业（表层矛盾）和家庭（内在矛盾）这两方面上的分歧，而湖畔小屋则是这两个矛盾的联接点。从职业性质来看，父子俩虽然都是建筑师，但身为业界传奇人物的父亲，只建造精雕细刻，有艺术气息的高级建筑，儿子有才气却没野心，宁愿打造便宜实惠的低档住房，他俩的这种不同直接反射到了对湖畔小屋意义的理解上。对父亲而言，小屋是他造来给妻子的礼物，是他诠释爱的方式，可对儿子来说，他能给母亲的只是图有其表的艺术品，而非实实在在的家。
