MIA: You are an extraordinary person, Grandma. But I don't think I'm meant to do this. I, I ould be so afraid that I ould disappoint the people of Genovia and I couldn’t bear to disappoint you again.
CLARISSE: Well, as I said I have faith in you.

妙语佳句,活学活用
1. Have faith in
说到“信心”,大家都知道confidence和confident,也知道“对……有信心”是have confidence in … 和 be confident of …,faith 也有“信任、信心”的意思,have faith in 就是“信任……,对……有信心”了,比如:
He has faith in my ability. 他对我的能力有信心。
I have faith in you; I am sure you ill do ell. 我相信你,我肯定你会做好的。
2. I do have one favor to ask.
意思就是“我想请你帮个忙”。“请别人帮忙”还可以说 Could you do me a favor?
3. We’re so out of here.
Out of here 大家都能明白是什么意思,加上一个 so 就是表示一种强调的语气。Mia 已经描述了种种 Colorado 的好处,意在劝说 Fat Louie 和她一起走(尽管猫听不懂)。这句话的意思就是 Let’s go。
4. The trip is off.
Off 在这里的意思是“不再发生;取消的”,例如:The edding is off. 婚礼取消了。
