乱世佳人Gone with the Wind经典台词
ASHLEY: Scarlett! Who are you hiding from in there?
艾希礼: 思嘉!你在躲谁呢?
hide from 躲藏,隐瞒
如 :My husband never hides anything from me.
我丈夫从不对我隐瞒什么。
ASHLEY: What are you up to? Why aren't you upstairs resting like the other girls? What is it, Scarlett… A secret?
艾希礼:你怎么了?为什么不像别的姑娘一样在楼上休息?有事吗,思嘉?……是秘密?
What are you up to? 是一句非常口语化的句子,意思是你现在在做什么。与其意思相近的用法有:What are you doing; What's going on; What happened to you。
SCARLETT: Oh, Ashley... Ashley... Ashley, I love you.
思嘉:哦,艾希礼……艾希礼……艾希礼,我爱你。
ASHLEY: (in a Pdicament, distressed) Scarlett!
艾希礼:(神情尴尬而苦恼)思嘉!
SCARLETT: I love you. l do.
思嘉:我爱你,真的。
ASHLEY: Well, isn't it enough to have gathered every other man's heart today? You've always had mine. You cut your teeth on it.
艾希礼:好了,今天来这的所有男人都被你迷住了,你还不满足?你一向占据了我的心,你可是老手了。
cut one's teeth on sth 从中获得经验
如 :There is a task for you to cut your teeth on.
这有个任务可使你增加经验。
SCARLETT: Oh, don't tease me now. Have I your heart, my darling? I love you! I love you!
思嘉:哦,别逗我了。你的心给了我吗,亲爱的?我爱你!我爱你!
ASHLEY: You mustn't say such things. You'll hate me for hearing them.
艾希礼:别说这些。你会恨我听而不闻的。
SCARLETT: Oh, I could never hate you! And... and l know you must care about me,because... Oh, you do care, don't you?
思嘉:哦,我决不会恨你!而且我知道你肯定喜欢我,因为……哦,你确实喜欢我,不是吗?
care about/ for 在意,喜欢
All she care about is her personal feeling.
她只关心她个人的感受。
Would you care for a drink?
你愿意喝点酒吗?
从上面两个句子中可比较出“care about”和“care for”意思大同小异。此外“care about” 还含有一层“忧虑”的意思。
ASHLEY: Yes, I care. Oh, can't we go away and forget that we ever said these things?
艾希礼:是的,我喜欢。哦,我们还是走吧!忘掉我们刚才说的话行不行?
SCARLETT: But how can we do that? Don't you want to marry me?
思嘉:但我们怎么能那么做,难道你不想娶我吗?
ASHLEY: I'm going to marry Melanie.
艾希礼:我要娶媚兰了。
SCARLETT: But you can't. Not if you care for me.
思嘉:你不能娶她,不管你喜欢不喜欢我。
ASHLEY: Oh, my dear, why must you make me say things that will hurt you? How can l make you understand... you're so young and unthinking【欠考虑的】.You don't know what marriage means.
艾希礼:哦,亲爱的,你为什么一定要让我说些让你伤心的话?我怎么才能让你明白呢……你太年轻了,遇事又不加考虑,你还不知道什么是婚姻。
SCARLETT: I know that l love you and l want to be your wife. You don't love Melanie!
思嘉:我知道我爱你,我想做你的妻子,你不爱媚兰。
ASHLEY: She's like me, Scarlett... She's part of my blood... and we understand each other.
艾希礼:她就像我一样,思嘉,我们有很多共同之处……我们能够相互理解。
blood 原意是“血液” 在此引申为“脾气,性格”。She's part of my blood 也可译为“我们有相似的性格特征”。
SCARLETT: But you love me!
思嘉:可你爱的是我!
ASHLEY: How Could I help loving you? You, who have all the passion for life that l lack【缺少】! But that kind of love isn't enough to make a successful marriage if two people are as different as we are.
艾希礼:我怎么能不爱你?你对生活充满热情,而这正是我所缺的!但是我们俩的性格差异太大了,这种爱根本就不能使婚姻美满。
这是一段非常精彩的表白,充分地表露了艾希礼成熟的爱情观点。其中也不凡一些超额成就词汇。
如 :passion 激情,爱慕
I may have a passion for her, but it isn't love.
我也许对她怀有一种强烈的爱,但这并不是爱情。
lack缺少,可用作动词和名词
The project had to be given up for the lack of funds.
工程因资金匮乏不得不放弃。
marriage 婚姻
Marriage is a fundamental social institution.
婚姻是社会的一个基本制度。
SCARLETT: Well, why don't say it, you coward【懦夫】! You're afraid to marry me! You'd rather live with that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes" and "no" and raise a passel【一堆,甚多】 of mealy-mouthed brats【小捣蛋】just like her!
