Have you filled the papers? 你填了那些表嗎？
People fill a concert hall. 人們擠滿了音樂廳。
Fill a glass with milk, please. 請倒滿一玻璃杯的牛奶。
Music filled the room. 音樂充滿了屋子。
在這個電影片段中，fill 表示的意思是“To engage or occupy completely; make full全部吸引或占據；充滿”，例如：

The story filled our hearts with joy. 這則故事讓我們心里充滿了喜悅。
2. Keep one's feet on the ground
這個片語也寫作 have or get one's feet on the ground，意思是“To be sensible and practical about one's situation清醒的，實際的，腳踏實地的”，那么與之相反的就是keep one’s head in the sky 了。例如：
