多學一點點 娛樂界閒話
史蒂夫說西婭很愛讀一本娛樂雜誌：You've always got your nose in that magazine。 To get / have one's nose (stuck) in a book直譯是「鼻子（貼）在書本上」，意思是「埋頭讀書」，例如：He is a typical bookworm. Every time I see him, his nose is in a book / he has his nose stuck in a book（他是個典型書呆子，我每次見到他，他都在埋頭讀書）。
西婭說娛樂雜誌可作話題：It's what we girls all talk about around the water-cooler。
Water-cooler是辦公室等的飲用水冷卻器。辦公室同事喝水時碰頭，往往閒談幾句，所以water cooler有時只是泛指同事閒聊的場合，water-cooler gossip / joke即「辦公室同事說的閒話╱笑話」，例如：（1）Water-cooler gossip has it that she is sleeping her way to the top（根據辦公室的閒話，她出賣肉體往上爬）。（2）That the company will have another major ‘shake-up’ has become a tired water-cooler joke（公司會再次大規模「整頓」，已成為同事間聽膩了的笑話）。
西婭談到一則娛樂界新聞：Gary Damone has been two-timing his girlfriend。英文俚語make time with指「勾搭上（異性）」，例如：He is making time with a beautiful blonde（他勾搭上一個美麗的金髮女郎）。
Two-time也是俚語，指對情人或配偶不忠，也許是取make time with two的意思，名詞是two-timer，例如：（1）He felt deeply humiliated when he found that his wife had been two-timing him（他發覺妻子背著他偷情，深感屈辱）。（2）He is a dirty two-timer / two-timing guy（他是個對伴侶不忠的骯髒傢伙）。
