⑤ 几部电影的经典台词（中英对照）

1. Hate got me into prison,love is gonna break me out.

2. I'll have what she's having.
她吃什么，我吃什么。——<<当哈里遇到莎莉>>
（爱屋及乌，非常好的拍马屁台词）

3. The kid just won't quit peeing and throwing up.He's like a cocker spanial.
这个小家伙不停地上吐下尿，像个英国小猎狗。——《天才老爹》
（美国人视狗为最好的朋友，用狗来形容小孩，决不是恶意的）

4. The blue pill or the red pill?
蓝色药片，还是红色药片？——《黑客帝国》
（在我们的生活中，确实经常会面临着这样必须做出没有退路的选择）

5. I don’t kown if you are keeping up with current events but we just got our asses kicked!
我不知道你是否掌握最近的状况，但我们刚被狠狠的收拾了！-----《异形》
（其实这句话按照中国人说话习惯，可以说：“我们都忙死了，你装什么傻呀！”）

6. I make this look good.
我衬得这衣服很好看。----《黑衣人》
（非常自恋的人可以这么说，不是衣服衬得人好看，而是人衬得衣服好看。）

7. I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse.
我会给你一个你难以拒绝的出价。----《教父》
（看来美国人也是非常相信有钱能使鬼推磨的，实际上这句话的意思就是“你不能拒绝我”）

我可以告诉你，但那样我就必须杀了你。----《壮志凌云》
（从电影热播之后，这句话就经常被利用来以开玩笑的方式拒绝回答对方的问题。）

（总之，人生不能就是这么忙碌地活着。）

10. ----You want answers? 你要知道答案吗？

来跟我的小朋友打招呼。－－－《疤面煞星》
（这个“小朋友”当然就是自动步枪了，我们中国古代的武士会这么说：“那要问问我的刀了。”）

12. Why do I do this? Because the money’s good, the scenery changes ,and they let me ues the explosives. okay?
我干嘛干这个？因为他们给钱多，路上风景不错，而且他们让我玩炸弹，怎样？－－－《世界末日》
（为了拯救地球而毅然登上太空飞机，前往迎地球而来的陨石并拼命炸毁它，这么危险的工作却被标准的美国个人英雄主义说得像娱乐，也是美国人举重若轻的思维惯性。）

13. If you build it ,he will come .
你建好了,他就会来.-------《梦幻成真》
（电影结束了，也不知道“他”到底是谁，但这句话给主人公以无穷的动力和信心。）

14. We are not here because we are free .we are here because we are not free.

18. Come Luck, together we can rule the galaxy as father and son .
想清楚吧，卢克，作为父子，我们可以统治整个银河。-----《星球大战之帝国反击战》
（这句台词充满诱惑力，当然并没有足够的诱惑力使卢克投向黑势力。它之前的那句台词“我是你爸爸”似乎更为美国观众经常挂在嘴边）

19. Life is like a box of chocolate.
生活就像一盒巧克力。-----《阿甘正传》
（从1995年电影热播之后，这句台词风靡全世界，流行了至少5年。它阐述了简单到极致的知天命的人生态度）

20. Houston, we have a problem.
休斯敦，我们有麻烦了。-----《阿波罗十三号》
（休斯敦代表美国航天航空局，汤姆汉克斯的这句台词随电影而流行，以至于在生活中你会听到学生不会做作业时也会这么说。）

21. The things you own, end up oweing you.
你所拥有的东西最终拥有了你。-----《搏击俱乐部》
