節(jié)選簡介：本次節(jié)選的是開頭部分，故事發(fā)生在幾個有“特異功能”的豚鼠執(zhí)行任務的開始，Speckles在指揮著，一邊還說著we're on the clock. Darwin卻有些jitters, 他們的任務能否順利完成呢？讓我們拭目以待吧~~

選段臺詞：

Darwin: Ticktock, we are on the clock. Speckles, do you copy?

Speckles: Ten-four. I read you. Darwin. Five-by-five. All communication systems are online. Status report.

Darwin: I have a visual on Saber. He's wearing a $6,000 suit, $50,000 watch, and, according to my infrared scope, Hanes size 36 tighty whiteys.

Speckles: Saber's about to start his speech. Remember, the clock is ticking, dude. Blaster, Juarez, what's your twenty?

Juarez: Juarez here. Approaching first objective. We're ten seconds ahead of schedule because Blaster is a little hyped-up.

Blaster: Of course I am. This is what I lived for. Time to get this party started.

Man1: Have any activity?

Man2: Southbound is secure.

Blaster: Ok, we're clear.

Speckles: Darwin, you're behind schedule. You all right?

Darwin: First mission jitters, I guess.

Speckles: Do you want to abort?

Darwin: NO, no, it's OK. I've been trained to do this.

Speckles: I'd follow you into a snarling pack of Dobermans! Oh, wait. I already have. Now, get your fuzzy hind end moving.

Darwin: Hold on. There's a civilian passing through the perimeter. What are you looking at? Move along, pal. Oh. Don't worry. I just spotted my way in.

重點語匯：

1. Ticktock: 快點。和后面的on the colck, the clock is ticking 意思相同，都表示時間不多了，可以互換。在表達的時候可以靈活一些。

2. copy: 收到。和后面的ten-four, I read you 表達相同的意思。

3. Five-by-five: 設備狀態(tài)良好。后面還有一句status report 報到情況，這里都是在任務交接時經常用到的詞，靈活運用會讓你的詞匯變幻多姿，不至于因為詞語匱乏感到窘迫。如果問“你那邊的情況如何？”類似的問題，可以像文本中那樣說“what's your twenty?”, 或者“Have any activity?”等等。

4. dude: 這個詞在美語中出現(xiàn)的頻率很高，意思為“伙計，家伙”，和后面的pal可以互換。

5. hyper-up: 興奮過頭。hyper-這個前綴大家應該很熟悉了，像hypertension，hypercritical，hyperbole，等等，記住前綴的意思，加上詞根就可以推測出生單詞的意思?？梢蕴岣咴~匯量哦~~

6. We're clear: 我們安全了。clear有很多意思，這里是無障礙的;清除了...的，相當于safe。在美劇中常見。

7. behind schedule: 進度落后。落后于預計時間。那進度過快怎么表達呢？呵呵，有同學發(fā)現(xiàn)前面已經給出了，那就是ahead of schedule.

例如：The project is behind scheduleagain.
