The script of this programme 本節目台詞
(Finn is visiting Feifei)
Feifei: Hi Finn. 謝謝你來我家給我這位特殊朋友拍照。
Finn: My pleasure, Feifei. I take pride in being a great photographer. I brought some of my best pictures.
Feifei: 是嗎？我知道你拍照技術超好，快讓我看看你帶的照片…
Finn: Ok. Well, this one I took during a trip to Paris.
Cutie Pie is definitely not out of the picture
Feifei: 就是去年夏天你和你女朋友 Ann 去巴黎那次拍的吧？
Finn: Ann… Yes. Ann is out of the picture now. Ah, but look at the Eiffel Tower!
Feifei: Oh… Ann is out of the picture 在照片外面？
Finn: And this one I took at a dinner party in my flat.
Feifei: Yes, 這張是你和你合住的房友 Johnny 一起照的。
Finn: Yes, my ex-flatmate 「Dirty Socks」 Johnny. He is out of the picture now too.
Feifei: Johnny, out of the picture 在照片外？ Finn, 他不是在照片裏嗎？你為什麼總說他們 out of the picture?
Finn: No, no, no. Ann and Johnny appear in some of my snaps. But I broke up with Ann. She ran away with a Frenchman.
Feifei: 哦，Ann 已經不是你女朋友了。那 Johnny 呢？
Finn: 「Dirty Socks」 Johnny moved out. He used to leave his socks everywhere!
Feifei: Oh, Johnny 搬走了。
Finn: Exactly. In English, when we say someone is 「out of the picture」 we mean they are not involved in a particular situation anymore.
Feifei: 短語 out of the picture 的意思是時過境遷，指一個人不再處於其中了，換句話說就是不再相干了。
Finn: Let』s hear some examples.
- Divorce was good for Mrs Jones. She looks very happy with her husband out of the picture.
- My team is bound to lose this weekend now our best player is out of the picture. He broke his leg yesterday.
Finn: Right! Now let』s meet your special someone in the garden, Feifei. I』ll take a great picture!
(Outdoors)
Feifei: Here we are! 這就是我的院子，我特殊的小朋友呢就在這兒。
Finn: Feifei, this is a hamster!
Feifei: Yes! 我的倉鼠叫 Cutie Pie. 我的 Cutie Pie! 你不覺的它很可愛嗎 Finn?
Finn: He is not very photogenic, I』m afraid, Feifei.
Feifei: 什麼意思它不上相？我的小寵物可漂亮著呢！(to the hamster) Sweetie yummy come to mummy. 你一定要在照片裏！
Finn: I have no choice and Cutie Pie will be in the picture. Oh dear! I can kiss goodbye to my career as a serious photographer.
Feifei: Bye.
Finn: Bye bye.
