《加勒比海盗》1(五)

分类: 影视英语 

Jack: I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you. Funny old world, isn't it?

Pirate: Captain, we're coming up on the Interceptor.

Jack: I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce? I scurry over to the Interceptor and I negotiate the return of your medallion, aye? What say you to that?

Barbossa: Now you see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easy to search when they're dead. Lock him in the brig!

Gibbs: Hands aloft to loose t'gallants. With this wind she'll carry every sail we've got.

Elizabeth: What's happening?

Anamaria: The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us.

Elizabeth: This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean.

Anamaria: You can tell them that after they've caught us.

Elizabeth: We're shallow on the draft, right?

Anamaria: Aye?

Elizabeth: Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?

Gibbs: We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough.

Anamaria: Lighten the ship. Stem to stern!

Gibbs: Anything that we can afford to lose... see that it's lost!

Jack: Apparently there's a leak.

Barbossa: Haul on the main brace. Make ready the guns. And run out the sweeps.

Will: We're gonna need that.

Anamaria: It was a good plan up till now.

Will: Gibbs! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!

Gibbs: With what?

Will: Anything. Everything! Anything we have left.

Gibbs: Load the guns! Case shot and language! Nails and crushed glass! With a will.
