8. 英文电影经典对话(英文的)
电影《绿色奇迹》里面的一段对话,是我最喜欢的....这一段讲的是一个善良、纯真、有着超自然力量并且处处帮助别人不计回报的死刑犯“约翰”(他是被冤枉的)将要处决之时与监狱主管“保罗”的一段对话(监狱主管知道他是无罪的) Paul Edgecomb: What do you want me to do John? I'll do it. You want me to let you walk out of here and see how far you get?
保罗:约翰你想让我做什么我都会做。你想让我放你离开这里,看看你能走到多远吗?
John Coffey: Now why would you want to do a foolish thing like that?
约翰:为什么你会想做那么愚蠢的事?Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?
保罗:当我死了,我站在上帝面前等候审判,他问我为什么让他的奇迹死去,我该说什么,那是我的工作?John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
约翰:你告诉上帝是出于善意。我知道你伤心焦虑,我可以感觉到,但你现在必须停止。因为我希望结束。真的,我累了。厌倦在路上,像雨中孤独的麻雀。厌倦没有伙伴陪伴,或者告诉我何去何从,或者为什么。我厌倦了人们丑陋的彼此相待,厌倦了每天感到和听到的伤痛。太多了。它一直就像我脑袋里的玻璃碴。你能理解吗?Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John. I think I can.
保罗:是的,约翰,我想我能。1、《耶稣受难记》里的一段: http://ke..com/view/339082.htmJesus: You have heard it said you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. For if you love only those who love you, what reward is there in that?
耶稣:你听说过应该爱自己的邻居而仇恨自己的敌人。但我告诉你,爱你的敌人并为迫害你的人祈祷。因为如果你只爱爱你的人,那么会有什么报答?
2、《海上钢琴师》里的一段: http://ke..com/view/21055.htm“Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful; it's a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It's a music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone.
You're an exception, Max, you're the only one who knows I'm here. You're a minority, and you better get used to it.
Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off.”
“陆地?陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船,一个太漂亮的女人,一段太长的旅行,一瓶太刺鼻的香水,一种我不会创作的音乐。我永远无法放弃这艘船,不过幸好,我可以放弃我的生命。反正没人记得我存在过,而你是例外,max,你是唯一一个知道我在这里的人。你是唯一一个,而且你最好习惯如此。原谅我,朋友,我不会下船的。”
我可以在有限的钢琴键中创造出无限的旋律,但我无法在无限的城市中,无尽的街道间找到属于我的空间。
这是个秘密,秘密是不应该被公开的
令我恐惧的不是我所见,而是我所未见。3、《肖申克的救赎》中的一段: http://ke..com/view/18388.htmRed: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stump your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth,I don't give a shit.
Red:我无时无刻不对自己的所作所为深感内疚,这不是因为我在这里(监狱),也不是讨好你们(假释官)。回首曾经走过的弯路,我多么想对那个犯下重罪的愚蠢的年轻人说些什么,告诉他我现在的感受,告诉他还可以有其他的方式解决问题。可是,我做不到了.那个年轻人早已淹没在岁月的长河里,只留下一个老人孤独地面对过去。重新做人?骗人罢了!小子,别再浪费我的时间了,盖你的章吧,说实话,我不在乎。
检举 回答人的补充 2010-02-02 14:41 《暮光之城》中的一段对白: http://ke..com/view/1738736.htmIsabella Swan: [to Edward] I know what you are. You're impossibly fast. And strong. Your skin is pale white, and ice cold. Your eyes change colour and you never eat or come out into the sun.
Edward Cullen:"Say it out loud. Say it. "Isabella Swan: ...Vampire. "贝拉:我知道你是什么了。你的速度飞快,而且强而有力。你的皮肤苍白而且冰冷。你的眼睛会变色,有时你的声音像是来自另个时空的。你从来不吃不喝,你也从不出现在阳光下。爱德华:“大声的说出来。说出!”伊莎贝拉:“……吸血鬼。”
9. 电影里的英语日常生活用语
1. It's not like that. 不是那样的。
It's not like that.这句话是用来辟谣的。当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉,你就可以跟他说It's not like that.“不是那样的。”当然随着语气及情境的不同,It's not like that.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看。
这里的There's nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的,指的是“没有好电影可看。”同样的,若是电视上没有好节目可看,你就可以说There's nothing good on TV.
3. I've gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。
get carried away字面上的意思是“被带走了”,那么被带走的是什么呢?就是心思。当你或是他人说话的时候离了题,偏离主旨扯远了。你就可以用上这个表达法I've / You've gotten carried away.
4. Good thing... 还好,幸好…
在美语当中若要表达中文里“还好,幸好…”的语气,你就可以用Good thing...做开头。这个句型非常简单又好用,你只要在Good thing后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don't believe you're bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理。
bring something up是指“提到(某件事)”。当然情况会有正反两面。你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂,你可以说I don't believe you're bringing this up.而反过来说,若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事,你也可以用这个片语自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up.
6. spy on... 跟监(某人)
spy这个字就是“间谍”。当动词用的意思自然就是“做间谍做的事”,也就是“监视,跟踪”之意。当你要去监视跟踪某人,美语中就说成spy on someone。
7. There's no other way of saying it.没有别种说法。
有时候不管你再怎么转、再怎么拗,也没有办法更婉转或是避开一些绝对会出现的字,这时候你就可以用上There's no other way of saying it.这句话,来表达自己避无可避的为难,因为“没有别种说法。”
8. That will not always be the case. 情况不会永远是这样。
case这个字有“情况”的意思,That will be the case.就是指“情况就会是这样了。”
但是你若觉得现在的情况只会是暂时,不会长久,你就可以反过来说That will not always be the case.“情况不会永远是这样。”
9. She is coming on to you. 她对你有意思。
She is coming on to you.这句话是用在两性的关系上,意思是“她对你投怀送抱。”也就是形容某人对某人有意思的情况,这个句型男女两性都适用;同样的情况,你也可以说She is making a pass at you.“她对你眉来眼去的。”这两种说法都很生动,而且最棒的是没有新单字,赞!
10. I was being polite.我这是在说客气话。 polite这个字,我们在学校学的意思是“有礼貌的”。当然你若要说一个人有礼貌,你可以说He is polite.或是He has good manners.不过I was being polite.这句话是指“我这是在说客气话。”使用的情境比较趋近于客套而不伤和气的出发点,与“做作”artificial (a.)又不一样了。
11. stand someone up 放(某人)鸽子
stand someone up这个词组,大家若是第一次看到,想必多半是满头雾水,怎么单字全都认识,意思却完全猜不出来。其实stand someone up的意思就是“放(某人)鸽子”,这么简单又实用的句子,可得赶快记起来。
12. So that explains it. 原来如此。
有时候事情的来龙去脉浑沌不清,让人摸不着头脑,若是突然曙光一现,让你豁然开朗,这会儿你就可以用上这句话So that explains it / everything.“这就都说得通了。”
13. I feel the same way. 我有同感。
当他人说出了你的感觉,你再同意也不过的时候,你就可以用上这句话I feel the same way.“我有同感。”这句话不但可以让你避免把同样的话再讲一次,帮你省了不少口水,还可以让对方觉得自己的意见被尊重呢。I feel the same way.赶快记起来。
14. Is there someone else?你是不是有了新欢?
Is there someone else?这句话字面上是指“有其它人吗?”不过Is there someone else?这句话在使用上,问的那个“其它人”一定是感情上的“新欢,新对象”,所以若是情侣或是夫妻之间有人说了这句Is there someone else?“你是不是有了新欢?”这可就不太妙了。
