影片对白：

Henry: Well, Basil, it's quite the best thing you've done. You'll be the talk of the town. Both of you. Speak up, boy. You'll hurt his feelings.

Gray: Is that really how I look? It's just so...life-like.

Henry: Better than life. He'll always look like that. You, Mr Gray, I'm afraid will not. In time, Mother Nature will come a very poor second to Father Basil.

Basil: Some things are precious because they don't last.

Henry: Poppycock. We wither and scar because the gods are cruel and hateful.

Gray: Perhaps I should nail my soul to the Devil's altar.

Henry: And remain as you are? Fair trade.

Basil: How about another gin instead?

Dorian: All that hocus-pocus, endless conjurations, books bound in infant skin, pentacles of fire, drinking the blood of virgins. Dorian wouldn't really barter his soul. Would you, Dorian? Would you?

Gray: Yes.

Henry's aunt: Oh, you really have captured something quite exquisite, Basil.

Basil: I've never known a subject so unaffected. The brush just seemed to dance and I just painted what I saw.

Gray: Kelso will turn in his grave. He didn't care to look at me. He blamed me for my mother, for her death.

Henry: There are no limits to the ugliness of old men.

Henry's aunt: Lips! And his eyes! Almost a match for the original.

Henry: I’m afraid you must get used to being looked at.

Dorian: Well, it's a fine painting.

Henry: I don't mean the painting.

Photographer: Mr Gray, if you please.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. the talk of the town: 小镇的话题人物。talk的意思是“（某地人人谈论的）话题，谈论中心”。

3. poppycock: 胡说。

4. hocus-pocus: 骗人的鬼话；花招；骗术。看一下例子：Do you think I'm gonna fall for that hocus-pocus?（你以为我会给那鬼话糊弄住吗？）

5. conjuration: 魔法，妖术。

6. barter: 作物物交换。Henry不相信Dorian会真的拿灵魂和魔鬼交换不老的容颜。请看例子：barter furs for guns（以毛皮交换枪支）。
