片段对白

Charlie: When they remake this, they gotta add a happy ending and nudity.

Jake: They won't remake it. Nobody wants to watch this kind of yearning nowadays. It's too painful. Modern man can't take it.

Charlie: This has gotta end, Jake. There's a world beyond Zhivago-land. You gonna forget about the dog-park girl and live again.

Jake: You think your friend still wants to buy my boat?

Charlie: Let him chop it up, stick it on his wall?

Jake: Call him.

Charlie: Seriously?

Jake: Tell him to come by the boat basin this weekend. I'll row it down myself. And call some of those insane, pansexual girls you're so fond of. I want a date every day until Christmas.

*********************************

Sarah: Where have you been all my life?

Eric: Waiting for you. You are absolutely perfect. You know that, don't you?

Sarah: I do. But it's still nice to hear.

Leo: Hello, hello. Hi. Look at you, cute jammies. Already in them, a little early for that. Come on, have a seat. Eric, come on. All right. Now...Eric and I are here to cheer you up, and we have many options.

Sarah: I'm ready.

Leo: First, there's line dancing at the Grove. Very Southwest, mid-'80s.

Eric: Too gay.

Leo: Or...we can use these teacher gift certificates for midnight manicures.

Eric: Perfect. Can we do that?

Leo: That's not too gay?

Eric: No.

Leo: He keeps the mystery alive, doesn't he?

Manicurist: What color?

Sarah: White.Caucasian.

Manicurist: What color nail? After wax.

Sarah: I don't know. What do you think?

Manicurist: Your nail, not mine.

Sarah: The light pink one. Yeah.

Manicurist: Not much love life, huh? Not getting younger.

Sarah: Did you hear that? What is that? Why do I always get the surly manicurist?

Leo: I don't know. Does a good job, right?

Sarah: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'll be right back. Jake! Jake!

Jake: Sarah.

Sarah: Jake! Hi.

Jake: Hi.

Sarah: This is so weird, because I've been thinking about you so much.

Jake: Nice to see you. Oh, you're all... You look like...

Sarah: I keep thinking about you.

Jake: What do they call those? Pot sticker, with the potholders.

Sherry: Hi. I'm ready, Jake. Sorry I took so long. Hi. I'm Sherry.

Sarah: Hi.

Jake: This is Sarah. We just saw Doctor Zhivago at the Grand.

Sherry: Yeah.

Sarah: Oh. Doctor Zhivago.

Sherry: It's Jake's favorite movie. I didn't get it.

Sarah: Oh, I've seen it like 20 times.

Sherry&Jake: Really?

Sarah: Yeah.

Sherry: Why? It's so depressing. Everybody's freezing their asses off. They're communists, right?

Jake: Yeah.

Sarah: I guess I keep hoping that one time, Lara and Yuri will get together again. In the springtime, preferably. And wear shorts.

Sherry: Okay, but they can't, because it's just a movie.

Jake: It's a book too.

Sherry: Yeah, that's cruel.

Jake: Yeah.

Sarah: Anyway...

Jake: Oh. Thanks for bringing that up.

Sarah: Okay, I have to go get de-waxed.

Jake: Sarah, it was really nice seeing you again.

Sarah: Nice to meet you.

Sherry: Nice to meet you. Not again.

Sarah: Yes. Thank...

Sherry: Yeah. Bye. Do you want to be Russians tonight?

Jake: Let's go. Well, Sherry, I think I'm gonna say good night.

Sherry: You're not coming in?

Jake: No, I'm kind of tired. I'm gonna go home.

Sherry: Aren't we gonna do the Russian thing?

Jake: Нет. That's Russian for "no."

Sherry: Was it something that I did...?

Jake: No, no, no. I'm just really tired.

Sherry: Tired. Yeah, it was a long movie.

Jake: Really long.

Sherry: Bye.

******************************

Eric: It seemed like it was gonna be so perfect. You chase him down the street, he turns, he sees you, he takes you in his arms, fireworks explode. It's happily ever after.

Sarah: You're leaving out the part where he was with another woman.

Leo: I say you call him. Or better yet, go over there, break into his house, throw yourself at him, make a complete fool of yourself. It worked for me.

Eric: It was very effective.

Sarah: No, he's with someone else. I have to face it, it's just not gonna work out with us.

Eric: And you'd really like it to, wouldn't you?

Leo: I can't take this. This is breaking my heart.

Eric: Mine too. But let's look on the bright side. Your nails look fabulous.

Leo: They do. They look so good. Let me see those. Look at these hands.

Sarah: Thank you, guys.

Jake: Turn around, this is your favorite part. She's wearing that hat you like.

Sarah: That's my side, thank you very much. Mother Teresa. I love you too.

妙语佳句 活学活用

2. boat basin: 小船泊地。

3. pansexual: 泛性恋的，指的是那些对所有性别皆会产生身体吸引或爱慕情绪的人。

4. jammy: 令人愉快的。这里指“令人愉快的人”。jammy的本义是“涂上果酱的”，例如：

我被这么多口味的选择弄晕了，最终还是选了草莓味的，就是甜甜圈里有着果酱和奶油夹心的那种。

5. line dancing: 排舞。

7. Caucasian: 白种人。影片中美甲师问莎拉想让指甲涂成什么颜色，莎拉以为她是在问肤色。

8. surly: 无礼的，不友好的。看一下例句：

The coffee is served by a surly male, whose lip curls at the chore of handing me my coffee and change. （端咖啡的男人脸色阴沉，给我咖啡和找零时撇着嘴。）

9. leave out: 省去，略去。例如：They must decide what to leave out.（他们必须决定省去什么。）

10. look on the bright side: 对事物抱乐观态度；往好处想。

But look on the bright side: the window displays are free.

但是，也可以看到光明的一面啊：看看商店橱窗的陈列不需要花钱吧。
