影片对白


Annie: Walter, there is something I have to tell you.


Walter: So he could be on top of the empire state building now.


Annie: No, I guess he could be. No. It's not him, Walter, it's me. I can't do this.


Walter: Look, Annie, I love you. But, let's leave that outta this. I don't wanna be someone that you'resettling for. I don't wanna be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?


Annie: Oh, Walter. I don't deserve you.


Walter: No, I wouldn'tput it that way. But, okay.


Annie: You okay?


Walter: Yeah.


Annie: Oh!


Walter: What?


Annie: Look! It's a sign


Walter: Who needed a sign?


Annie: Walter, I have to go.


Sam: Jonah, Jonah.


Jonah: Dad! Dad!


Sam: What if something had happened to you, what if I couldn'tget to you.


Jonah: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.


Sam: What have I done? You're my family. You're all I've got!


Jonah: I thought she'd be here. I thought she'd come.


Sam: We're doing ok, aren't we now? Are we ok? Are we all right? So far have I done something really stupid?


Jonah: No!


Sam: Have I screwed it up for both of us?

Jonah: No!


Annie: Observation deck!


Doorkeeper: Sorry, ma'am, but it's too late.


Annie: No, please, I really need to go up there.


Doorkeeper: We're closing up. No more runs tonight.


Annie: Listen, can I just take a look. There was someone I'm supposed to meet. He's probably not there. But if I don't at least look, I'll always wonder about it.


Doorkeeper:Cary Grant, right?


Annie: You know that movie?


Doorkeeper: One of my wife's favorites.


妙词佳句,活学活用


1. Settle for


这句话是指“接受”的意思。要把它和accept区分开来,因为所谓的 settle for sth 指的是“勉强的接受……”。在此部电影当中,Walter 的意思就是:他不想成为任何人用来将就的对象。


2. Put it that way


大家可以把这句话变成 express it that way来理解,这样看的话就容易多了。这里的put 和 express 是一个意思。只不过put更口语化一点。


3. Get to you


Get 这个词虽然看着简单,但是也是我们在学习英文的过程当中比较头疼的词了,因为get可以和很多其它的词组合起来变成另外的意思。比如:

A. Get to you
指的就是我找不着你怎么办。Reach you可以和他进行替换。

B. Get together
意思是meet。通常我们会听到老外讲:Maybe we can get together sometime.

C. Get going / get moving
很常用的句型结构,当我们要离开的时候或者要走的时候用得到。怎么表达呢?I think I have to get going. (我想我要走了。)


4. Cary Grant

Cary Grant 是在30,40年代美国比较有名的电影演员。曾演过《费城故事》、《抓贼》等一系列脍炙人口的影片。


Empire State Building vs. observation deck



对于学习英文的人来讲,如果不知道哪是帝国大厦,也许会成为一个大笑柄的。其实热爱电影的人,对它应该不会陌生,想想去年热播的美国大片 King Kong 《金刚》,最后金刚英雄救美的一幕就是在帝国大厦顶部拍摄的。


但是,仅仅只是知道有一座帝国大厦是不够的。帝国大厦是纽约城的一大旅游景点之一,观光旅游的人去到那里,除了想了解一下帝国大厦的历史之外,还有就是去无人不知的Empire State Building's Observatory,帝国大厦观景台( observation deck),领略一下the big apple纽约的全景。为了游客的方便,帝国大厦会全年开放,开放时间为早8点到晚12点左右,夏天的时候开放时间会延迟。


思想火花


对于Sleepless 1 in Seattle 这部影片如此之火的原因,可能很多人都觉得费解。也有人认为这实际上就是一部chick's movie。实际上,这部影片真正反映出来的是很多女人对理想中的白马王子的憧憬。


女人们期待的是一个可以不会吝啬的表达爱意的男人,可以注意到她们的细微变化、而又可以慷慨的说出赞扬或鼓励之类的话的男人。当然女人要的不是花言巧语,不是玩弄手段获取女人芳心的男人。要的只是一生的踏实,适时的鼓励,还有就是彼此的珍惜。当然这样的要求听起来有些高,就像电影中所提到 verbal ability is a highly over-rated thing in a guy.虽然很难,Sam却做到了,而且成功的打动了全美的女人。只是用了这很简单的几句话:She made everything beautiful. It was a million tiny little things, if you add all up; it just meant that we were supposed to be together.
