Bridget Jone's Diary Part Two

影片對白

Bridget: Who cares about the odd professional hiccup? The fact is I've been in a functional relationship with an adult male for six wonderful weeks, four fabulous days and seven precious hours, or to put it another way, 71 ecstatic shags . He's given up being snooty, and I've given up smoking. Well, he thinks I have anyway, which is practically the same thing... Mark Darcy is perfect. Not a fuckwit, alcoholic, workaholic, pervert or megalomaniac, but total sex god and human rights lawyer. He is a miracle, really.

Mark: Bridget, will you stop? Stop staring at me while I'm asleep. Go and find something to do.

Bridget: Sorry. So, as you can see, the incredible truth is the wilderness years are over. Bridget Jones is a love pariah no more.

Workmate: Morning, Bridget. Late again.

Bridget: Yes. Sorry. I was in bed with my boyfriend. He's a human rights lawyer, you know.

Workmate: Yes, we know.

Bridget: I cannot believe how fantastic shagging was last night. Maybe I'll ring him. No, no... Obviously it's important to tell one's boyfriend how nice he looks naked, but I have crucial, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism to do.

Mark: Hello?

Bridget: It's me. Just wondered how you are.

Mark: I'm fine, thanks. Everything all right with you?

Bridget: Fine, though, er... I've just had a rather graphic shag flashback. And you do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.

Mark: Thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican ambassador, the head of Amnesty international and the Undersecretary for Trade and lndustry. And you're on speakerphone.

Bridget: Oh. Right, well... I'm quite busy with important stuff too...

妙詞佳句

1．put it another way

這裏著重要講的是put這個詞。通常情況下put是放置的意思，除此之外，put還有“說，表達”的含義。put it another way就是“換個說法”的意思，相當於我們學過的in other words。

2．shags

英國俚語，意思是have sex with someone。美國人很少這樣講。

3．Everything all right with you?

這句話可稱之為金牌句型，意思是“一切順利吧，一切還好吧”！如果一個朋友看起來有些神秘兮兮的，總是有話不說，吞吞吐吐。這時你就可以問他 Everything all right with you?

4．be on speakerphone

speakerphone 是免提電話的意思。假設你正在看書，這時電話響了，你隨手按了免提鍵，就可以用到這句話了：You are on speakerphone。我在用免提和你說話。

文化麵麵觀

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights

The UN operates a Commission on Human Rights, which monitors human rights abuses in countries, holds international meetings on human rights concerns, and handles complaints about human rights violations.

In 1993 the General Assembly also created the position of High Commissioner for Human Rights. The commissioner oversees all the UN's human rights programs, works to prevent human rights violations, and investigates human rights abuses. The commissioner also has the power to publicize abuses taking place in any country, but does not have the authority to stop them. However, most publicity about human rights abuses does not come from the UN but from rival countries or from nongovernmental organizations.
