Are you okay?
Father. I"m -- I"m so glad you could come and pray for mama. Please, sit, sit.
Thank you, Gabrielle.
Listen, since you"re here, there"s something I"ve always wondered about. That whole thing about priests not being allowed to repeat what they hear in confessions is that a hard rule or just a general guide line?
Rest assured, everyone"s secrets are safe.
That"s good to hear. I"ll keep yours, too, if you want to talk.
Oh, me? No, no. Confession"s not really my thing.
That"s a shame.
Okay, you can stop condemning me with your eyes. Right now. I know you know about the affair, but you know nothing about my life. Look, it"s not even an issue anymore. John and I are finished.
Gabrielle, the church is pretty clear on this. If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting, you go to hell.
Well, aren"t you just a ball of fun.

# 有话说 #
看完视频，大家有没有发现我们要讲的“有趣的人”该如何在英语中去表达呢？没错，今天我们要来分享的就是“a ball of fun”～
a ball of fun
我们先来看一下a ball of 这个表达，正常的英语表达中也会常常看到，就比如说一个雪球，一个毛线团 分别可以表达为“a ball of snow” 和 “a ball of wool”~ 这些都比较具象，那么“a ball of fun”就是抽象转具象的一种表达，形容“有趣的人”～ 这样理解就印象深刻了吧！
例句：
She is a ball of fun.
她太逗了／她就是个开心果！
再来一个抽象转具象的表达：
a ball of hate
图片截自《绝望主妇》
例句：
He"s not a critic. He is a little ball of hate.
他哪是批评家。他简直就是愤怒的小鸟。
除了a ball of fun/hate，这里再和大家分享一个关于“a ball of fire”的表达：
a ball of fire
一团火球？
确实这样，但是用来形容一个人的时候，是这样滴！
英文释义：
精力充沛，热情洋溢的人
例句：
A ball of fireshe might be, but she"d made one big mistake!
虽然她积极上进，但是她的确犯了个大错误。
看完了a ball of 相关表达，我们再来看一下片段中还有哪些值得我们积累的～
