Legends of the fall 《燃情岁月》(视频精讲之一)(在线收听) |
影片对白 Samuel: And the German military is ready to use chaos in Croatia as justifications for actions that could plunge the entire civilized world into... Colonel Ludlow: Samuel! The word "civilized" has no place in any discussions of the affairs of this world. Alfred: Miss Finncannon, Mother has told us of your sympathy for the social reformers. Susannah: You make it sound like a disease. Alfred: No, no, no, on the contrary, I'm in agreement. Susannah: Your mother told me all about One Stab. She says that he was a great warrior. Alfred: Oh yes. He has a bag of scalps sitting away somewhere to prove it too, but don't worry, he's...haha... he's devoted to father now. Samuel: Or rather, they're devoted to each other. Susannah: Can he speak English? Alfred: Stab? Speak English? He wouldn't lower himself to speak English. Would you, Stab? But watch out. Because he understands it perfectly well. Samuel: Hey, there's Tristan. Samuel: Don't they feed you up there? Tristan: Not much. Samuel: You smell. Tristan: Miss me, did you? Samuel: Still hung over? Tristan: Still drunk. Samuel: Isn't she amazing? Susannah: So this is Tristan. And does he speak English? Alfred: Tristan, for God's sake. Tristan: Miss Finncannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and Ugly here find every happiness together. Alfred: Don't mind my brother. Your dog has more breeding than he has. 妙语佳句,活学活用 1. plunge into “卷入,陷入”的意思。Samuel的意思是说“整个文明世界都被卷入到战争中”。 Plunge 还可以指“全神贯注地投入到某件事情中”,例如:The kids plunged into the story. 孩子们整个被这个故事迷住了。 2. Has no place in “‘文明'这个词根本不能用来形容这个世界。”在Colonel Ludlow看来,这个世界虚伪又残忍,根本谈不上“文明”。Has no place in 通常的意思是 inappropriate (不适合/不应该……),但语气要比它强许多。例如:Fast food has no place in hospitals. 快餐不应该卖到医院里。 3. One Stab 叙述整个故事的印第安老人,是美国屠杀印第安人后的幸存者,Colonel Lodlow 的朋友, Tristan 的师父。 4. Rather “更确切地说”的意思。例如:He is my friend, or rather he was my friend. 他是我的朋友,更确切的说,他曾经是我的朋友。 5. Lower oneself “降低自己的身份,做出有损道德、有损尊严的事”,例如:I won't lower myself to do such kind of things. 我才不会降低身份做这种事呢! 影片简介 “有些人能清楚地听见自己内心的声音,并按这个声音的指引生活。这样的人,不是疯了,就是成了传说。”在悠扬的乐声中,老印第安人开始讲述这个漫长而又忧伤的故事。那故事是从一个洒满银色月光的秋夜开始的,Tristan 也从此开始了他传奇的一生。 考考你 What does Alfred mean by "He has a bag of scalps somewhere to prove it"? |
