情景模式：

1. 情景：西方人非常崇拜上帝，经常会说“愿主保佑......”，这句话就这么说：
God help sb. (+clause).
源于台词：Robert: God help the poor devils belowdecks.

2. 情景：自己的亲人去世，无疑是悲痛，但是死是无法避免的，我们会对逝去的亲人祝福在天堂中过着比生还时更幸福的生活。我们这样表述：
On one’s way to a better life.
源于台词：Robert: On their way to a better life.

3. 情景：我们生活的世界中，没有绝对性的东西。倘若有人以绝对论来说这个世界的事物，你可以用剧中Robert的经典话语驳斥：
Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship is unsinkable untilit sinks.
源于台词：Robert: Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it.So every ship isunsinkable until it sinks.

4. 情景：有人求助于你帮忙，你可以帮得到，但是可不要打包票，即使能百分之百的能帮得了，也给自己留点余地，不妨套用下面的这个句型：
I am afraid (that)+clause.
源于台词：Carson: I'm afraid we'll know some people on it.
