My Best Friend's Wedding Part Four

影片對白

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!

妙詞佳句

1．I have to say this quick.

看起來很簡單的一句話，卻很少有人把它說得地道。通常情況下，聽到的比較不地道也不口語化的說法是 I have to speak it quickly. 雖然從字麵上來看沒什麽不對的，每個詞都沒錯，語法上也沒錯，但是老外就不這麽說。

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

“Coronary”的意思是心髒病，算是一個醫學上的專業詞了。在這裏 Julianne 沒有用 heart attack 這個常用的表示心髒病的詞，而是用了coronary 這個大詞，意在強調此事很重要。而這句話 I'm gonna have this massive coronary. 的意思就是：我會因為緊張或恐懼而心髒病發。

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

“我知道現在說這話不是時候/太遲了，但是我還是想請你答應我的請求”。覺得很耳熟是不是？漢語中沒少聽見過吧，現在知道英語怎麽說了嗎？

文化麵麵觀

Good Samaritan

“好心的撒瑪利亞人”這個典故來自《聖經·路加福音10》（LUKE 10）“好心的撒瑪利亞人的比喻”（The Parable of the Good Samaritan）。

傳說有一個商人從耶路撒冷到耶利哥，不幸在路上被強盜搶光所有的財物，扒光所有的衣服，赤身裸體，並且被打得遍體鱗傷。

一位祭祀的人路過，但是他假裝沒看見離開了。一個利末人也從他的身邊走過。就在他奄奄一息的時候，好心的撒瑪利亞人路過，把他救起，放在自己的驢背上，並帶他到一家小旅店給他養傷。當撒瑪利亞人要離開的時候，還不忘給店主二錢銀子，拜托他幫忙照顧這位受傷的人。

從此之後，聖經中的這個典故就被借用來指“好心人”了。
