　　Dialogue Completion:

　　A

　　"Hellish" in this case refers toshavingsa terrible time- literally "like hell". So a hellish holiday experience may be when you turn up to find that your hotel hasn't been built yet, that the sea is full of sewage and that it rains all the time when you expected it to be sunny. (糟糕透顶的，可怕的;源于hell一词)

　　用法：I had such a hellish time on holiday in Magaluf - the Spanish resort is just full of drunk British, German and Dutch people.

　　我在Magaluf度假过的糟糕透了--那个西班牙度假胜地到处都是喝得烂醉的英国人、德国人和荷兰人。

　　In this scenario, a shaky bridge that you have to cross is a metaphor for life as a teenager - it is bridge that is completely unreliable and may suddenly fall out from under your feet and send you dropping thousands of feet, but is nevertheless one that you have to cross, whether you want to or not.

　　(shaky指不牢固的，摇摇欲坠的。这里的shaky bridge是一种人生阶段的比喻。)

　　elite:精英人物

　　B

　　When you resent something or someone, you feel bitter, or angry, about them or about the thing you have to do. In a bad relationship some people end up resenting the other person, and teenaged children often resent the world in general, and their parents in particular. Resentment is not a very nice emotion, and doesn't help anyone.(憎恨、怨恨)

　　用法：Bobby bitterly resented the way his parents were always telling him to sit up straight, finish his food and tidy his room.

　　Bobby对他父母总是让他坐直，别剩下饭菜，保持他房间整洁这些事梗梗于怀。

　　In this case, a marathon of this kind means that you are watching several, or multiple, TV shows or films back-to-back.

　　(本意是马拉松赛跑。这里指007电影的一部部续集。)
