影片对白


Juliet: Banoffee pie?


Mark: No, thanks.


Juliet: Thank god, you would have broken my heart if you'd said yes.


Mark: Right, well. Lucky you.


Juliet: Can I come in?


Mark: Er, yeah! Well, I'm a bit busy.


Juliet: I was just passing and I thought we might check that video thing out. I thought I might be able to swap 1 it for some pie or maybe munchies?


Mark: Actually I was being serious. I don't know where it is. I'll have a look around tonight.


Juliet: Mark, can I say something?


Mark: Yeah.


Juliet: I know you're Peter's best friend and I know you've never particular warmed to me. Look, don't, don't argue. We've never got friendly. But I just wanted to say, I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am. Apart from my terrible taste in pie and... it would be great if we could be friends.


Mark: Absolutely, absolutely.


Juliet: Great.


Mark: Doesn't mean we'll be able to find the video, though. I had a real search when you first called and couldn't find any choices so...

Juliet: This one says Peter and Juliet's wedding. Do you think we might be on the right track?


Mark: Err 2, yeah, well... wow. That- that could be it.


Juliet: Do you mind if I...?


Mark: I've probably taped it over it. Almost everything's episode of west wing on it now. Oh.

Juliet: Oh bingo. That's lovely. Well done you. Oh, that's gorgeous. Thank you so much, Mark. This is exactly what I' was hoping for. I look quit pretty. You've stayed rather close, haven't you? They are all of me.


Mark: Yeah, yeah, yes.


Juliet: But, you never talked to me. You always talk to Peter. You don't like me.


Mark: I hope it's useful. Don't show it around too much. Needs a bit of editing. Look, I got to get a lunch, early lunch. You can just show yourself out, can't you? It's a self- preservation 3 thing, you see.


妙语佳句,活学活用


1. Check sth out


意思就是“把……查出来/弄出来”,在此片断中提到的check the video thing out,指的就是“找一下那个video”。那么在我们的日常生活中这个短语要怎么用呢?打个比方:What are you doing here? Well, I'm here to check my bag out.(我来这儿是找我的包的。)再比如:Don't make any haste decisions before we check it out.(在事情调查好之前,先不要果断下结论。)


2. Swap sth for sth


“用……换……”的意思。Can I swap the chocolate for some apples? 我能用苹果换点巧克力吗?我们还要注意到另外一个短语:swap meet,虽然在此片当中没有提到,但是也很重要,指的就是flea market 跳蚤市场。


3. You've never particular warmed to me.


“你从来都没对我热情过”,这句话不能这么翻译,一定要反过来才可以:你一向对我都这么冷淡。举个例子:He's never particular warmed to anybody. 他对谁都那样,冷冰冰的。


4. I had a real search for...


Search for... 指的就是“找……”。有时候我们说 search for 会觉得语言表达得不够生动,为了表示强调,就会说I had a real search for...(我还真是费了好大的力气找了半天呢!)比如:I had a real search for my wallet. But I did that in vain. 我费了好大的劲找我的钱包,但是还是没找到!


5. On the right track


在理解这句话的意思之前,我们要先看一下 track 这个词。通常情况下,track 指的是“路径”的意思,等同于 path。在英文当中我们有这样的表达,be on the right path 正确的道路上/已经有了正确的选择。on the right track 也是同样的意思。在本片断中的 We might be on the right track. 指的就是“我们也许选对了”。


6. Don't show it around.


在这里做“不要到处炫耀”解。show sb. around 常用的意思是“带某人随便转转”。比如:Since this is the first time I'm in the capital of China, would you like to show me around or something? 这是我第一次到北京,你是否愿意带我转转?


文化面面观


Banoffee pie


Pie 是西方人喜欢的一道美食。它可不止是汉语中的“馅饼”那么简单。在西式糕点中,也有pie的一席之地。Banoffee pie is a dessert made from biscuits, bananas, butter, cream and boiled condensed milk. Its name is a portmanteau (合成词) constructed from the words "banana" and "toffee (太妃糖)".


Inventorship of the pie is claimed by Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie of The Hungry Monk 4 restaurant in Jevington, East Sussex. They claim to have invented the pie in 1972, and the restaurant's exterior 5 bears a plaque 6 to that effect. The recipe was never patented, however, and in 1994 a number of supermarkets began selling it as an American pie, leading Dowding and Mackenzie to offer a ?10,000 prize to anyone who could disprove their claim.


There is some discussion over the best spelling for the pie's name; The Hungry Monk preferring "banoffi" where the logical etymological 7 spelling would be "banoffee", to correspond with "toffee". Other variations include "banoffy" and "bannofie".
