Bridget: Who cares about the odd professional hiccup1? The fact is I've been in a functional2 relationship with an adult male for six wonderful weeks, four fabulous3 days and seven precious hours, or to put it another way, 71 ecstatic shags . He's given up being snooty, and I've given up smoking. Well, he thinks I have anyway, which is practically the same thing... Mark Darcy is perfect. Not a fuckwit, alcoholic4, workaholic, pervert5 or megalomaniac, but total sex god and human rights lawyer. He is a miracle, really.
Mark: Bridget, will you sTOP? STOP staring at me while I'm asleep. Go and find something to do.
Bridget: Sorry. So, as you can see, the incredible truth is the wilderness6 years are over. Bridget Jones is a love pariah7 no more.
Workmate: Morning, Bridget. Late again.
Bridget: Yes. Sorry. I was in bed with my boyfriend. He's a human rights lawyer, you know.
Workmate: Yes, we know.
Bridget: I cannot believe how fantastic shagging was last night. Maybe I'll ring him. No, no... Obviously it's important to tell one's boyfriend how nice he looks naked, but I have crucial, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism8 to do.
Mark: Hello?
Bridget: It's me. Just wondered how you are.
Mark: I'm fine, thanks. Everything all right with you?
Bridget: Fine, though, er... I've just had a rather graphic9 shag flashback. And you do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.
Mark: Thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican ambassador, the head of Amnesty international and the Undersecretary for Trade and lndustry. And you're on speakerphone.
Bridget: Oh. Right, well... I'm quite busy with important stuff too...
妙词佳句，活学活用

这里着要紧讲的是put这个词。一般情况下put是放置的意思，此外，put还有说，表达的意思。put it another way就是换个说法的意思，等于大家学过的in other words。
2．shags
英国俚语，意思是have sex with someone。美国人极少如此讲。
3．Everything all right with you?
这句话可称之为金牌句型，意思是所有顺利吧，所有还好吧！假如一个朋友看着有的神秘兮兮的，一直有话不说，吞吞吐吐。这个时候你就能问他 Everything all right with you?
4．be on speakerphone
speakerphone 是免提电话的意思。假设你正在看书，这个时候电话响了，你随手按了免提键，就能用到这句话了：You are on speakerphone。我在用免提和你说话。
