Cinderella 2 《灰姑娘》2 (一)
Jaq: Come on, Gus-Gus. Faster!
Gus: What's the hurry, Jaq-Jaq? What's the hurry?
Jaq: Fairy Godmother's here. She's gonna read us the Cinderella story. Shh. Pom, Pom. Come on, Gus!
Fairy Godmother: "Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after. The end."
Jaq: We missed it?
Mary: Mm-hmm.
Gus: Maybe you could read another one.
Fairy Godmother: Oh, I'm sorry, Gus... but that's the only Cinderella book there is.
Jaq: Yeah, Gus-Gus. You heard her. "The end." That's all.
Gus: Uh, maybe we could make another book.
Mary: We can tell the stories, and make the drawings!
Mice: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Fairy Godmother: Oh, what an excellent idea.
Jaq: No, no, wait a minute. Who'd wanna read a book made by mice?
Fairy Godmother: Cinderella would read it. And if you made it, I know that she'd love it.
Jaq: But we don't know how to make a book.
Fairy Godmother: Oh, don't worry, dear. I think I can help.
Fairy Godmother: Oh, very nice. Well done, little mice. But something is missing, it's true. Oh, look there. The pages are bare. We need a story from you.
Jaq: Who, us? No, no, we don't know any good stories.
Gus: Wait, wait! How's about "First Day In castle"?
Jaq: Oh, yeah. That is a good one.
Fairy Godmother: I'd love to hear all about it.
妙词佳句,活学活用
1.Come on
Come on 一词在口语中的使用频率太高了,使用的场景以及语调的不同,它所表达的意思也不一样。
例如 :
A:Be serious. 严肃点。
Come on, you must be joking.
B:暗送秋波
She gave me the 'come on'. 就可以译为:她向我表示了她对我的好感 。
C:Hurry up. 快点
D: Please. 请。
Come on, tell me the truth.
此处用的是第三种意思。请大家牢牢掌握这一点。
2.Excellent
看似很简单的词,实际上有些人还会用的不地道,因为在日常生活中excellent这个词除了可以形容心情好之外还可以用来形容任何好的东西。比如:Cindy is an excellent student.
除此之外,在口语中表达“好”或“优秀”的词很多,如:good, great, fine, excellent, outstanding, fantastic, splendid, first-class,fabulous,amazing,marvelous等等。
3. Well done
Well done 有两种意思,一种是“干的好”的意思,和good job的意思一样,另一种是表食物“熟的很透”的意思。看以下几个例子:
A. 我出色的完成了我的工作。我的老板说:Well done.
B. Duty well done brings a sense of pleasure.
任务完成的好给人一种愉快的感觉。
C. The steak is well done.
这牛排煎得很透。
