《十日拍拖手册》二
影片对白:
Michelle: Hi.
Jeannie: Hi.
Michelle: I-I don't really want to talk about it, okay?
Jeannie: Okay.
Andie: Okay.
Michelle: Okay. Why does this always happen to me? Things were going great for, like, a week and a half, and then, all of a sudden, it's over, and I am mystified. Seriously, I am mystified, because it always starts out so well.
Jeannie: Poor baby.
Andie: Let's just roll with this one.
Michelle: Oh, Mike and I had such a connection. The first time that we had sex,...it was so beautiful...I cried.
Jeannie: You cried?
Michelle: Yeah.
Andie: You mean, like, one glistening tear on your cheek, right?
Michelle: No. I was really emotional. I even told him that I loved him.
Andie: After how many days?
Michelle: Five. Two. It was how I felt. I wanted to express myself.
Andie: Okay, well, what did he say?
Michelle: Oh, Mike didn't have to say anything. I know that he felt the same. But then he started getting really busy, and I didn't know where he was. So I kept calling him and calling him. He was never home...
Andie: You kept calling him?
Michelle: I didn't leave a message. He didn't know it was me. My number's blocked.
Jeannie: Oh, l-I'm sure he thought it was one of his friends. You know, men frequently call their friends' answering machines and hang up 20 times.
Michelle: Anyway...I know why he dumped me: I'm too fat.
Andie & Jeannie: You're not fat!
Andie: Oh, Michelle, if the most beautiful woman in the world acted the way you did, any normal guy would still go running in the other direction.
Michelle: Oh, no. No guy would go running from you, Andie. You could barf all over him, and he would say, "Do it again."
Andie: That is both incredibly disgusting and categorically untrue. If I did the things you did, I'd get dumped, too.
妙语佳句,活学活用
1.mystified: 困惑。动词形式为mystify,意思是“把……难住,使困惑不解,使大为惊奇”。影片中Michelle指她实在不明白为什么会被甩。
例如:The banker's disappearance mystified the police.
银行家的失踪使警方大惑不解。
2. emotional: 情绪激动的。如果想表达一个人十分情绪化,我们就可以用emotional。例如:get emotional over a piece of costume jewellery(对一件服饰珠宝感到十分激动)
emotional也可以解释为“催人泪下的,表现强烈情感的”,例如:
an emotional scene in a play(剧中令人感动的一场戏)
3. My number's blocked: 我隐藏了电话号码。现在许多人的电话都设置了来电显示功能,如果不想让自己的号码显示在对方电话上,就可以用blocked number。
4. dump sb.: 甩掉某人。dump不仅可以用于男女恋爱关系中的“甩”或“被甩”,我们也可以说dump a friend,因为dump还有“抛弃,放弃”的意思。例如:dump a plan(放弃计划)。
5. barf: <美口> 呕吐。飞机上供乘客用的呕吐袋就是barf bag。
6. categorically: 绝对地,无条件地。在影片中categorically untrue相当于absolutely untrue。形容词形式categorical的意思是“明确的,无条件的”。例如:a categorical answer(明确的答复)。
