I would love to help you，but it’s not there. There’s nothing I can do.（我也很想帮你，但爱莫能助，我什么也帮不上。）◆be there在某人需要帮助时随时伸手相助，其搭配有be there for sb.和be there to do sth.

You remember how you asked me to write you that letter of recommendation？... I’m sorry，but I can’t write you that. Sometimes we get students who are promising，but they never progress past that early promise. I know you want to be a ballet dancer，but I don’t believe that’s going to happen for you. Not on a professional level. ... You will never，in my opinion，be able to support yourself as a dancer. It’s my responsibility to tell you that. You should continue your year here at P.A. But you need to be prepared.（你还记得，你让我怎么帮你写推荐信吗？……很抱歉，我不能帮你写。有时候我们能招到很有前途的学生，但他们取得的进步没有达到我们的期望。我知道你想成为芭蕾舞者，但我觉得这不适合你，因为你不够专业。......在我看来，你不可能让你自己胜任舞者的职业。告诉你这些是我的职责，你还应该继续留在学院学习。但你应该准备得更充分一些。）◆It’s one’s responsibility to do sth.做某事是某人的职责

Kevin，there are students who are going to get picked up by Ailey，City Ballet，Complexions. And there are other students who are going to have to pursue other options. Like，you might make a wonderful teacher.（凯文，有的学生会被爱丽选中成为城市芭蕾演员。还有一些则会去追求其他的选择。比如说，你或许能成为一个很棒的老师。）◆pick up接电话；捡起，拾起；（开车）接载

Denise，look，I don’t wanna keep you from your dreams，all right？That man is right，you were born to sing.——Enough already. Before you and Malik，I didn’t even realize I could sing that music. That I loved that music. I didn’t even know who I was. You guys believed in me，so I’m not gonna sell you out. And that’s that.（丹尼斯，听着，我不想你放弃你的梦想，好吗？
