Bridget Jone's Diary Part One

影片對白

Bridget: Another year, a brand new diary. Once again I was summoned, kicking and screaming, to my mother's turkey curry buffet, where I've had some of the most shaming experiences of my life.

Mother: Hello, darling. Lovely to see you.

Bridget: It was, as usual, crammed full with some of the most dangerous perverts in the UK, disguised as close, personal friends of my parents.

Una: Hello, Bridget.

Bridget: Hello, Una. Oh, no, thanks.

Una: Love the jumper .

Geoffrey: I prefer what's underneath it.

Bridget: Uncle Geoffrey!

Geoffrey: Hello, gorgeous. 

Bridget: Hello.

Dad: Hello, darling.

Bridget: Hello, Dad. How's it going?

Dad: I wish I was dead.

Bridget: But this year, there was one crucial difference. Nice jumper.

Mark: My mother's taste never falters .

Bridget: Never. You always wonder how it's going to work out at the end of the story. Maria and Captain Von Trapp, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mark Darcy and Bridget Jones. I've found my happy ending at last. And nothing in the world can spoil it . Well, almost nothing.

Richard: Bridget Jones, what the fuck are you doing?

Bridget: I, I can't see anywhere soft to land.

Richard: How about on your ass? Bridget, unless you want to get sacked at 6,000 feet, you will be on your way in exactly three seconds. Three, two, one... cue Bridget.

Bridget: Skydiving, a dangerous bane to the countryside and emergency services, or a safe and exhilarating hobby? Well... Let's see, shall we?

Richard: Go. Jump. For Christ's sakes, go! Ok. She's out. Unit Two, you got her?

Man: OK, we see her.

Richard: Bridget, open the chute. Open it. Open your fucking parachute! Pull the thingy or you will die!

Bridget: Oh. Honestly, you forget just one teeny, weeny detail and everyone treats you like an idiot.

Bridget: Where was I? Oh, yes... Mark Darcy. The question is: what happens after you walk off into the sunset?

Richard: Bridget? Earth to Bridget Sodding Jones. Bridget, you're on. You're live.

Bridget: Well, this is Bridget Jones for Sit Up Britain, reporting to you from a big vat of excrement.

Richard: Unit two, give me a close-up of the porker.

妙詞佳句

1．jumper

jumper在特定的場合有著特定的意思。
A：跳躍者
He's a great jumper. 意思就是他跳得很高。在英文中這樣的用法很多，在動詞後麵加上er代表一定的特征。舉個很簡單的例子，在《畢業生》這部電影中，Ben曾經說過這樣一句話：He certainly is a good walker。意思就是說這人走的很快。

B：英國人口中的“套頭衫”，是一種無袖的毛衫。我們熟悉的講毛衫的詞是sweater。jumper 和sweater在英國英語中都指套頭的毛衫。在美國英語中，sweater也可以指那種有扣子的毛衫。

2．falter

falter的意思有很多，而且基本每個意思都是常用的。比如：
A： 支支吾吾、顫抖地講
如：Her voice began to falter as she talked about her miserable past.
B：never falter 從來不會很差
這是在本片中的用法。My mother's taste never falters. 意思就是“我媽是個相當有品味的人”。也可說 His reputation never falters. 大家可以用不同的詞來替換，關鍵是要把它涑勺約旱撓镅浴?

3．Nothing in the world can spoil it.

spoil這個詞有“寵壞”和“破壞”兩種意思，影片中用的是後者。

4．get sacked

很地道的表達方式，意思是“被解雇”。比如一個好友情緒低落，追問原因，才得知She's got sacked. 這個時候你就得多安慰她了。

5. You're on.

on 是很小的一個詞，同時也是很難用的詞，因為它的意思實在是太多了。在這裏on是當“上場，開演了， 開始了”講。 You're on意思就是“你上場了，已經開拍了”。What's on？就是“演什麽呢？”

6．You're live.

“現在是實況轉播。”我們經常聽到的This is... on the spot. 就是“……在這裏為你現場播報”。

文化麵麵觀

Skydiving

Skydiving is a team sport. Two people are in the team, a skydiver and a video camera operator. The video camera operator videotapes the skydiver while the skydiver does gymnastics. After they've landed, the judge watches the videotape. The team gets point for good gymnastics in the air and good skydiving.

A time for self-improvement

Many Americans prefer recreation that requires a high level of physical activity. This is true of three fastest growing adult recreational sports: jogging or running, tennis, and snow skiing. It would seem that Americans carry over their belief in hard work into their world of play and recreation. The well-known expression "we like to work hard and play hard" is an example of this philosophy.

The recreational interests of Americans also show a continuing respect for the self-reliance, and sometimes the adventure and danger, of frontier life. By the mid-1990s, Newsweek magazine noted that adventure travel had grown to "an＄8 billion business, perhaps as much as a fifth of the U.S.leisure travel market." Millions of Americans have bought mountain bikes to explore the wildness on their own. Many others are choosing to go whitewater rafting, mountain climbing, rock climbing, skydiving, helicopter skiing, and bungee jumping.
