影片對白  It's gonna take a little more than digging a few holes. There are eyes, ears, dots that couldn't be connected from the outside.
 

我觀之我見  據(jù)說 Michael 是有“低危憂郁癥”的，這樣的人天生就對環(huán)境刺激特別敏感，并比普通人容易在更短的時間內(nèi)接收并處理更多更綜合的信息……

考考你  小試牛刀

6. There are eyes, ears, dots that couldn't be connected from the outside.

這里 Michael 是用一個 connect the dots 的游戲打比方。connect the dots 就是我們漢語中所說的“連線游戲”：在一張紙上有許多的點，用筆把這些點連起來，就會呈現(xiàn)一個圖形。Connect the dots 作為一個習(xí)語，意思是 understand the situation。

Eyes and ears 指的是“了解/知道某些事情的某些人”，例如 A spy is a government's 'eyes and ears' in different places; A reporter is the 'eyes and ears' of a reader who wasn't at the situation the reporter was in.

Michael 這句話的意思是 There are people inside the prison, and knowledge they can find inside the prison, that people from outside can't see. 因為這個越獄計劃是 Michael 入獄之前就設(shè)計好了的，但在細節(jié)上，還需要入獄后再設(shè)計。

7. more than meets the eye

意思是“某種情況/某件事/某個人遠不是所看到的那樣”，比如一個人穿的破破爛爛，但實際上非常聰明有錢。通常這個短語是褒義的。我們來看個例子：There's more to Jack than meets the eye.

8. hold up

“持槍或是武力搶劫”。例如：The gang concentrated on holding up liquor stores and gas stations.

9. fish

在口語中，fish 可以用來指"人"，如：a poor fish，a big fish。在俚語中，fish 可以用來稱呼剛?cè)氇z的囚犯，所以那些囚犯都把 Michael 叫做 Fish。

文化面面觀

San Juan & Jamba Juice

1. San Juan

San Juan, capital, largest city, chief port, and commercial and cultural center of Puerto Rico. The city is named after Saint John the Baptist (Spanish: San Juan Bautista). The latest census estimates place the city's population at 433,733, making it the 42nd-largest city under the jurisdiction of the United States. It is also the oldest European settlement in United States territory.

Coffee, tobacco, sugar, and fruit are exported from the busy port, mainly to the United States. San Juan's industries include tourism, brewing, distilling, and publishing; manufactures include metal products, cement, and clothing. The city is Puerto Rico's financial center and has many international banks and business corporations. San Juan also has an international airport. The city's old section, situated on two rocky islets guarding one of the best harbors in the Caribbean, is linked by bridges with the mainland.

The bay was named Puerto Rico (rich port) by Ponce de León, who in 1508 founded a settlement at nearby Caparra. In 1521 the settlement was moved across the bay to San Juan's present site. Strongly fortified, it withstood attacks by English buccaneers in 1595 but succumbed for a few months in 1598 to George Clifford, earl of Cumberland, and was sacked by the Dutch in 1625. San Juan's port gained increasing importance during the 18th and 19th cent. U.S. troops occupied the city during the Spanish-American War in 1898.

In the old city, whose narrow streets, small shops, and houses with overhanging balconies recall a colonial atmosphere, there are impressive historic buildings: El Morro castle (begun 1539), which commands the harbor entrance and is a national monument; San Cristóbal castle (begun 1631), originally a Spanish fort; and La Fortaleza (begun 1529), a former fort now used as the governor's official residence. Other San Juan landmarks include San José Church (founded c.1523), the oldest church in continuous use in the Western Hemisphere; Casa Blanca (1523); and the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, which contains the tomb of Ponce de León. Also in the city are the Univ. of Puerto Rico and its School of Tropical Medicine, the College of the Sacred Heart, a campus of the InterAmerican Univ. of Puerto Rico, and the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico. Nearby are several resort beaches (notably the Condado and Isla Verde), which attract tourists from North America.
