Ben是一个刚刚大学毕业的学生，生活中充满了对未来的迷惘。
在这一幕中，他经不起自己爸爸的好朋友的老婆的勾引来到了一个宾馆开房间，
我们一起来体验一下他在极度尴尬的情况下说的英语。说不定能帮你回忆起一些往事。
MRS. ROBINSON: Hello, Benjamin.
BEN: Oh. Hello.
MRS. ROBINSON: May I sit down?
BEN: Of course.
MRS. ROBINSON: Thank you.
MRS. ROBINSON: How are you?
BEN: Very well. Thank you.
MRS. ROBINSON: May I have a drink?
BEN: A drink? Of course.
(Ben looks toward a passing WAITER and raises his hand.
The waiter pays no attention. Ben looks back at Mrs. Robinson apologetically.)
BEN: He didn't see me.
MRS. ROBINSON: Waiter!
MRS. ROBINSON: I will have a martini.
WAITER #1: Yes, madam.
MRS. ROBINSON: You don't have to be so nervous, you know.
BEN: Nervous. Well, I am a bit nervous. I mean it's –
it's pretty hard to be suave when you're –
MRS. ROBINSON: Did you get us a room?
BEN: What?
MRS. ROBINSON: Have you gotten us a room yet?
BEN: I haven't. No.
MRS. ROBINSON: Do you want to?
BEN: Well – I don't. I mean I could. Or we could just talk.
MRS. ROBINSON: Do you want me to get it?
BEN: You? Oh no. No. I'll get it.
MRS. ROBINSON: Do you want to get it now?
BEN: Now?
MRS. ROBINSON: Yes.
BEN: Well – I don't know.
MRS. ROBINSON: Why don't you get it.
BEN: Why don't I get it? Well – I will then. If you'll excuse me.
(Ben walks out of the Veranda Room and into the lobby.)
ROOM CLERK: Yes sir?
BEN: A room. I'd like a room, please.
ROOM CLERK: A single room or a double room?
BEN: A single. Just for myself, please.
ROOM CLERK: Will you sign the register, please?
He pushes the card and a pen toward Ben.
Ben writes his name on the card and then stares
at it for a moment, crumples it up and fills out a second card.
ROOM CLERK: Is anything wrong, sir?
BEN: What? No. Nothing.
ROOM CLERK: Do you have any luggage, Mister –Gladstone?
BEN: Luggage? Yes. Yes. I do.
ROOM CLERK: Where is it?
BEN: What?
ROOM CLERK: Where is your luggage?
BEN: Well it's in the car. It's out in the car.
ROOM CLERK: Very good, sir. I'll have a porter bring it in.
BEN: Oh no.
ROOM CLERK: Sir?
BEN: I mean I'd – I'd rather not go to the trouble of bringing it all in.
I just have a toothbrush. I can get it myself. If that's all right.
ROOM CLERK: Of course.
ROOM CLERK: I'll have a porter show you the room.
BEN: Oh. Well actually, I'd just as soon find it myself.
I just have the toothbrush to carry up and I think I can manage it myself.
ROOM CLERK: Whatever you say, sir.
BEN: Thank you.
