生活美語《Florida or bust!》
Florida or bust!
佛羅里達，不到無還！
Vera：Gee, this is a great reception. Everyone's having a wonderful time.
薇拉：啊，這個酒會真好玩，大家都玩得很開心。
Max：Including you. I think you've danced with every man in the room.
麥克斯：你也不例外。我看你跟舞廳的每個男人都跳過舞。
Vera：Well, why not? The band's great and they're playing all my favorite tunes.
薇拉：嗯，為什麼不跳？這裡有一支出色的樂隊，而且演奏的歌曲我都喜歡。
Max：Look. The bride and groom are getting ready to leave.
麥克斯：看，新郎和新娘準備離去啦。
Vera：Come on, let's go outside and see them off.…
薇拉：來，我們到外面給他們送行……
Max：My god! Look at their car. Tin-cans hanging off the back. And look at all those "Just married" signs they've put on it. The best man and his boys have done a great job.
麥克斯：啊，你看他們的汽車。車後掛著一些空罐。車上還有許多寫著「新婚」兩字的告示。伴郎和他的助手做得很好。
Vera：And look, there it says "Florida or bust!"
薇拉：看，那裡還寫著「佛羅里達，不到無還！」
Max：So that's where they're going on their honeymoon.
麥克斯：然則他們是去佛羅里達度蜜月了。
多學一點點 蜜月花車
在一個結婚酒會上，麥克斯對薇拉說：I think you've danced with every man in the room。這個room當然是指ballroom（舞廳）。西方結婚酒會有一個習慣：The newlyweds will take to the floor first, to be followed by the best man and the maid of honor, and then by the guests（新郎新娘會先上舞池跳舞，隨後是伴郎和伴娘，跟著是賓客）。Take (to) the floor即「上舞池跳舞」，newlyweds則是新婚夫婦。
A newlywed可以指新娘（bride）或新郎（bridegroom）。古英語groom指「男人」，bridegroom即「新娘的男人」；珼在，groom多指「新郎」，是bridegroom的縮寫。
薇拉見新郎新娘正準備離去，就說Let's go outside and see them off。To see (someone) off是動詞片語（phrasal verb），指「送行」，例如：When she left for the United States, we went to the airport to see her off（她去美國時，我們到機場送行）。
麥克斯叫薇拉看新婚夫婦開去度蜜月的氣車：Tin-cans (are) hanging off the back。開去度蜜月的氣車，英文叫going-away car，例如：For some reason, wedding guests today often tie tin-cans to the going-away car instead of shoes（不知為什麼，今天婚禮的客人往往在蜜月車上綁些空罐，而不是鞋子）。從前的人綁鞋子，或說是因為皮鞋可以避邪。
薇拉還看見蜜月車上寫著：Florida or bust!... or bust是「努力完成某事」或「努力到達某地」的意思，例如：For him, it is Harvard or bust! He'll do anything to get there（對他來說，非入哈佛大學不可，他會盡力實現心願）。
