美剧Suits《金装律师/又名诉讼双雄》非常适合英语中级向高级过渡，该剧用语严谨而又不失诙谐，包含非常丰富的商务词汇及地道俚语表达。有很多非常实用且具有一定难度的句型结构（帮助我们更好地掌握英语一些高大上的用法），不少台词朗朗上口，有内涵有品味，值得临摹与斟酌。
本剪辑背景介绍：律师事务所联合创始人Jessica向一名高端客户（Dockery）引见了律所资深合伙人Harvey，Dockery原以为Harvey对待他这样的大客户必然会毕恭毕敬、巴结讨好，没想到Harvey不卑不亢，甚至略带挖苦，分析了Dockery公司兼并案的关键所在，并提出了合理解决方案，Dockery虽不受用，却又无可奈何。
