影片对白


Colonel Ludlow:


Alfred! Stop mooning over Miss Finncannon and come in here. Samuel


wants to know about the young calves raised up in Cheyena. Come on,


get in here.


Alfred: Please excuse


my father. It makes him feel young and powerful to treat us like


we're idiot children.


Colonel Ludlow: For


this and all His countless blessings, may God's holy name be


praised and blessed. Amen.


Alfred, Tristan,


Samuel: Amen.


Tristan: Tell Father


what you were saying about Vienna.


Colonel Ludlow:


What's that?


Samuel: oh, it's the


Kaiser. He won't stop them from annihilating


Serbia.


Colonel Ludlow: Let's


not talk about war at the table. Please.


Samuel: Susannah


hears that all England is mobilizing. We're stuck


out in the middle of nowhere while all this is going


on.


Colonel Ludlow: Thank


God for that.


Samuel: You wouldn't


want us to evade our duty.


Colonel Ludlow:


Wouldn't I?


Alfred: Father, with


respect...


Susannah: Please


excuse me for being late. I packed so carefully l couldn't find.


Thank you.


All: Would you like


some...


Colonel Ludlow: Dear


Isabel, how strange to have a cultivated woman in the house again,


and how intoxicating. Indeed to have all three of my sons under my


roof again fills me with such a deep, quiet satisfaction that l


thank God.


妙语佳句，活学活用


1. Moon over


somebody


从字面上看是"月光照耀某人"，不禁让人联想到"月出皎兮，皎人僚兮"这样的句子，实际上这个短语是"daydreaming


or doing silly things"的意思。Alfred 对 Susannah 一见钟情，虽然他行为得体，不像 Tristan


那么放肆，他老爹还是一眼就看穿他的想法了。 我们再来看个例子：Don't moon over her anymore.


别再对那个女孩发梦了。


2.


Kaiser


德国皇帝的称呼，也是神圣罗马帝国Holy


Roman Empire (962-1806)皇帝和奥地利 (1806-1918)皇帝的称呼。
