Rita walks by
　　Rita: Haven't you finished your report for the meeting this afternoon?
　　Troy: Of course. I just printed myself out this copy.
　　Rita: I'll take that. I just want to look over a few details to make sure you didn't screw anything up.
　　Troy: [Angry] You know, Rita, I have many years worth of training at this job.
　　Rita: What are you trying to say?
　　Troy: Well, I don't think I would, as you say,"screw anything up."
　　Rita: I'll be the one to decide on that, Troy.

　　莉塔：你還沒弄完今天中午會議的報告嗎？
　　特洛伊：儅然弄完了。我剛剛幫自己印了一份拷貝。
　　莉塔：我要那份拷貝。我衹是想要看看一些細節，確認你沒搞砸什麽。
　　特洛伊：（生氣）你知道嗎，莉塔，這工作我可是有多年訓練的。
　　莉塔：你這是想說什麽？
　　特洛伊：呃，我不認爲我會像你說的那樣 ‘搞砸什麽。’
　　莉塔：我才是決定你有沒有搞砸的人，特洛伊。
　　重點解說：
　　★ screw up 搞砸
　　★ worth (n.) 價值。worth可放在時間之後，更爲強調那段時間的意義價值
