The movie is called Grown Ups. 男演员亚当·桑德勒主演的电影“长大成人” The first one "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" Work and play are two significant and indispensable parts of our life. Usually, people had to study,to work, to achieve one&`&s goal, to realize one&`&s dream and so on. For you guys, maybe the final examination, right? however, nobody will argue with the fact that we all need to relax and enjoy life for it&`&s impossible to maintain a healthy and rich life without some forms of recreation. Therefore, we should balance our time, not on play. Don’t be so worried about your final examination, just calm down. An example: I&`&d like to take a week&`&s vacation next month. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 我想下个月休一个星期的假，只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也会变傻。 Today’s second “not know a person from Adam”. Adam is the first man and the husband of Eve in Judeo-Christian mythology, it was said that he was not borned by woman, so he got no navel, which makes it easy for us to recognize. 在圣经中讲到上帝创造了世界上的第一个男人，取名为亚当(Adam)。因为亚当非女人所生，所以没有肚脐，是最容易辨认的人，“not know somebody from Adam”就表示“完全不认识某人”。 An example: Mrs. Smith is a friend of mine, but I don’t know her husband from Adam。 史密斯太太是我的朋友，但我完全不认识她丈夫。
