我们要重温的英语动画片是《虫虫危机》，英文名是“A Bug's Life”。
故事发生在一个蚂蚁窝，蚂蚁们辛勤地利用夏天屯积粮食过冬，却每年都被一群恶霸蚱蜢抢走。年复一年，蚂蚁们不但都习以为常了，也没有刻意想办法扭转情势。
本片主角飞力是一名充满创意却没有执行能力的小蚂蚁，它的鬼点子及小发明经常弄巧成拙地惹来大麻烦。不过它仍坚信凭毅力以及勇气，理想终究会实现。
你们知道吗，在蚂蚁的世界，是有蚁王的，会飞哦，一起来看看吧
雅婷 你说 现在要做什么呢?
Okay, Atta. Now what do we do?
呃...别告诉我 我知道...是什么呢
Uh... Oh! Don't tell me. I know it. I know it. What is it?
我们放轻松 对
- We relax. -Right.
放心吧 每年都是一样的
Oh, it'll be fine. It's the same, year after year.
他们来 他们吃 他们走 这就是我们的命运
They come, they eat, they leave. That's our lot in life.
虽然苦 还是得过呀
It's not alot, but it's our life.
哈...对不对啊 蚜蚜? 你真是个可爱的小蚜虫
Isn't that right, Aphie? Oh, you're such a cute little aphid.
快 甩掉小不点 耶
- Ditch Dot!- Yeah, yeah!
嘿 你们回来啊
Hey, come back here!
小不点 什么事 妈妈?
- Dot! - Yes, Mother.
我是怎么跟你说飞行的事的?
What did I tell you about trying to fly?
翅膀长好以后才能飞
Not until my wings grow in.
对 妈...
- Right. -But, Mom...
小不点 你还小 而且你的翅膀还没长好啊
Dot, you're a young queen ant, and your wings are too little to be...
我是在跟妈说话 你还不是皇后 雅婷
I was talking to Mother. You're not the queen yet, Atta.
小不点 不要跟你姐姐顶嘴哦
Now, Dot, be nice to your sister.
谁叫她老爱大惊小怪的
It's not my fault she's so stressed out.
我知道...
I know, I know.
我的表现像是天要塌下来似的 小心啊
- I'm always acting like the sky is falling. - Look out!
其中，小蚂蚁被问到什么时候可以飞时，说：
翅膀长好以后才能飞
Not until my wings grow in.
not until，也可以分开写：not... until，表示”直到……才……“，和until的肯定用法还是有区别的~
要注意的是：
如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬间动词时，必须用否定形式;
如：
I didn't go to bed until(till) my father came back.(否定)
直到我父亲回来我才上床睡觉。
It was not until the meeting was over that he began to teach me English.(否定)
直到散会之后他才开始教我英语。
如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时，用肯定或否定形式都可以，但表达的意思不同。
如：
I worked until he came back.(肯定句)
我工作到他回来为止。
I didn't work until he came back.(否定句)
他回来我这才开始工作。
雅婷公主将继承后位，可惜它缺乏领导者的自信。它年迈的母亲，也就是现任皇后正努力地训练女儿做接班人。雅婷公主后来因得到它母后的鼓励而学会独力判断，更因为信任飞力而拯救了整个蚂蚁王国。雅婷公主有一位小妹妹叫小不点，它等不及长大以便帮助蚂蚁们脱离险境，无奈年纪幼小翅膀未长齐。她是飞力最忠实的拥护者。
欺负蚂蚁们的蚱蜢由恶霸为首。它每一年都强迫弱小认命又努力的蚂蚁将辛苦屯积的食物供献为己有。有一天飞利克忍无可忍之下，毅然离开蚂蚁窝计划找寻一批可以协助它对抗蚱蜢的勇士虫。阴错阳差之下，它带回七只失业的马戏团表演虫回来蚂蚁们得知救兵并非真的是战士后虽然很失望，但靠着机智和团结一致的决心还是击退强敌，赢得胜利。
一起来看看胜利后的喜悦吧：

这就是蚂蚁们打败的grasshopper，颜值是硬伤，我就没有截取有他的视频了，在刚才的那段里，昆虫们说：
这是我们应该做的。
- It was the least we could do.
好客气呢，下次别人感谢你帮助他时，你也可以很潇洒漂亮的说上一句：It was the least I could do.
今天，我们就一起来复习下least:
least，是little的最高级形式。表示“最小的”，“最不重要的”。
least of all 尤其不
I don't like rain or storms, and least of all thunder.
我不喜欢下雨和暴风雨，尤其不喜欢打雷。
not least 相当重要
Business has been bad, not least because of increased costs.
生意一直不好，相当重要的原因是价格上涨。
at least 起码，至少
He's going away for at least a week.
他起码一星期出去一次。
