My best friend's wedding 《我最好朋友的婚礼》(精讲之四)Michael: What's up?

Julianne: I have to say this quick. Or I'm just gonna have this massive coronary and then you'll never hear it, and you have to. This is, by far, the dumbest thing I ever done in my entire life. Uh... So dumb, in fact. That I can't. Oh, but I'm gonna...

Michael: What's wrong?

Julianne: Michael, I love you. I've loved you for nine years; I've just been too arrogant and scared to realize it. Oh... Now I'm just scared. I... I realize this comes at a very inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. Oh, that sounds like three favors, doesn't it?

Michael: Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim!

Julianne: Michael! Michael! Michael!

Old Lady: Just lovely together.

Kimmy's mother: That's our maid of honor. Oh, she's from New York.

Michael: Kim! Kim! Kim!

Julianne: Michael! Michael! Wait! Michael! Wait please! You'll never catch her!

Julianne: Doesn't anybody leave their car unlocked? Nobody trusts anybody anymore! Oh, a good Samaritan!

妙词佳句,活学活用

1.I have to say this quick.

看起来很简单的一句话,却很少有人把它说得地道。通常情况下,听到的比较不地道也不口语化的说法是 I have to speak it quickly. 虽然从字面上来看没什么不对的,每个词都没错,语法上也没错,但是老外就不这么说。

2.I'm just gonna have this massive coronary.

“Coronary”的意思是心脏病,算是一个医学上的专业词了。在这里 Julianne 没有用 heart attack 这个常用的表示心脏病的词,而是用了coronary 这个大词,意在强调此事很重要。而这句话 I'm gonna have this massive coronary. 的意思就是:我会因为紧张或恐惧而心脏病发

3. I realize this comes at a very inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask you.

“我知道现在说这话不是时候/太迟了,但是我还是想请你答应我的请求”。觉得很耳熟是不是?汉语中没少听见过吧,现在知道英语怎么说了吗?

文化面面观

My best friend's wedding 《我最好朋友的婚礼》(精讲之四)Good Samaritan

“好心的撒玛利亚人”这个典故来自《圣经·路加福音10》(LUKE 10)“好心的撒玛利亚人的比喻”(The Parable of the Good Samaritan)。传说有一个商人从耶路撒冷到耶利哥,不幸在路上被强盗抢光所有的财物,扒光所有的衣服,赤身裸体,并且被打得遍体鳞伤。一位祭祀的人路过,但是他假装没看见离开了。一个利末人也从他的身边走过。就在他奄奄一息的时候,好心的撒玛利亚人路过,把他救起,放在自己的驴背上,并带他到一家小旅店给他养伤。当撒玛利亚人要离开的时候,还不忘给店主二钱银子,拜托他帮忙照顾这位受伤的人。

从此之后,圣经中的这个典故就被借用来指“好心人”了。
