看美剧《凯莉日记》学口语（25）
剧情梗概：
Maggie脑子一热填了参军报名表，事后开始后悔了。她的小伙伴们决定要帮她把表格拿回来。可是，戒备森严的军营，她们该怎么进去呢？
对话文字：
Soldier: I.D. Please.
Donna: Oh, no. I don't want you to see it. It's not my best day.
Soldier: I think it's very *becoming.
Donna: You are so sweet.
Soldier: Sorry, Miss LaDonna. I'm afraid your name isn't on the visitation list.
Maggie: Told you.
Donna: Ugh. My cousin always forgets to give the gate my name. Can you believe it? You wouldn't forget me, would you?
Soldier: Definitely not. But, uh, I'm sorry. I can't let you in, as much as I'd like to.
Donna: I understand. I'm afraid I wasn't...totally honest with you. The truth is, I'm not just here to visit. I'm here to deliver some very tragic news to my cousin... Something that'll be just devastating to Richard.
Mouse: Robert.
Donna: Robert. You see, our grandmother's been in the hospital, and just today, the poor woman passed on. I just wanted to tell him in person. He loved her so much.
Soldier: Listen, please, please, don't...don't...don't do that. I hate to see a pretty girl cry. Listen, you all hurry in and wait in the recruitment office, all right? I'll find Private Watson. It'll be all right.
Donna: Thank you. Thank you so much.
Mouse: That was...
Donna: I know.
对话精讲：
英文中becoming是个略有奉承意味的词，通常来形容某件衣服很适合一个人，让人看起来更好看，有魅力。例：That jacket is very becoming on you. （这件上衣很适合你。）类似表达赞许的话英文里有不少，比如你想说这个颜色你穿起来特别好看，就可以说：You look nice in that color. 如果你想称赞一下别人的精神面貌，你还可以直接说 You look great today.（你今天气色不错！）
