Alex: We really disappointed him.
Phil: Yeah, maybe we should just suck it up and go to Jellystone this summer.
Luke: Wait. That's why dad got this thing? I-I can't go on a trip this summer.
Alex: Why?
Luke: I've… I've got stuff.
Claire: Huh? No. What stuff?
Luke: I don't want to talk about it.
Claire: Luke.
Luke: Summer school. I'm failing pre-algebra.
Claire: Why didn't you say something?
Luke: I don't know. I feel stupid. You know what it's like to follow her? All the teachers look at me and think that I'm some kind of irrational remainder. Did I use that right?
Alex: No.
Luke: Damn it.
Alex: But why didn't you ask me? I would've tutored you.
Luke: I tried, but you were always off in your room or some corner of the house on the phone.
Phil: Yeah, who have you been talking to so much lately? Aaron?
Claire: Who's Aaron?
Alex: Actually, it's two boys — Aaron and Alex.

现学现用说说看
suck it up
忍忍
suck it up基本上可以理解成“忍着吧,别抱怨了”的意思。比如:某个人对某事不满,发牢骚抱怨,另一个人就可以跟他说Suck it up.言下之意就是“不爽?不爽也得忍着,别抱怨了!”
suck在英文里的本意是“吸、吮”,而在这里则表示某人或某事一点儿也不好、很糟糕、让你很失望。如昨天晚上你看了一场电影,朋友问你:How was the movie?(电影怎么样?)如果你觉得那部片子真是拍得不怎么样,就可以说:It sucks!太糟糕了!
I've got stuff.
我有事。
stuff这个词在电影中出现的频率很高,它的意思可以根据上下文的语境来理解。常用的意思如下:
■ 表示“东西”,通常指实物,如:
1.Leave your stuff in your room.把你的东西放在自己房间。
2.Can I have my stuff back?我能拿回我的东西吗?
3.I have to prepare so much stuff for the visa application.签证申请要准备好多东西。
■ 表示“抽象的东西”,如:
1.My boyfriend and I never talk about relationship kind of stuff.我跟我男朋友从来不讨论恋爱关系之类的东西。
2.I joined the English club, and found lots of stuff to learn.我加入了英语社团,发现还有好多东西要学。
