老電影裡頭屬一屬二的經典，一定非Breakfast at Tiffany's莫屬了！由一代女星Audrey Hepburn (奧黛麗赫本)演出，場景又圍繞著所有女孩的夢幻國度「Tiffany & Co.」，你說這種電影，你怎麼能夠錯過？

This film is the story of Holly Golightly, a charming and attractive young woman who moves to New York, partly in hopes of becoming one of the rich and beautiful people of the city.

這是一部敘述Holly Golightly故事的電影，她是一位迷人又具有吸引力的年輕女孩，她搬到紐約，希望能夠成為這個城市其中一位有錢又美麗的人。

"so-called" + 職業/人物：指某人自稱或聲稱自己是一個怎麼樣的人，但他人不能確定到底是不是。

It’s none of my business, but it sounds like you could get in a lot of trouble.

這不關我的事，但是聽起來你好像會惹上很多麻煩。

如果某件事情 "none of your business"，這就表示這件事情是很私人的或是
