影視英語口語:爲了愛情放棄
【劇情簡介】女巫給了Ariel一種神奇藥水，喝下去之後就會變成人類，但是必須要讓王子愛上她，不然就前功盡棄……女巫最後的開價，就是Ariel的美妙歌喉……
【電影片段臺詞】
- If he does kiss you before the sun sets on the third day, you'll remain human, permanently, but - if he doesn't, you turn back into a mermaid, and - you belong to me.
- No Ariel! (He is silenced by Flotsam and Jetsam.)
- Have we got a Deal?
- If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
- That's right. . . . But - you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know.
- But I don't have any -
- I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is . . . your voice.【重點詞彙講解】
1. Have we got a deal? 成交不？
口語中常用到deal一詞，如：It's a deal. 這事就這麼定下了。我們也可以簡單說一個Deal，意爲“成交！”
2. Life's full of tough choices. 活着就得做選擇。
很無奈的一句，但也是真理。勸服別人的時候可以用到這一句。
3. You can't get something for nothing. 天下沒有免費的午餐。
something和nothing是口語中的萬用代詞，這裏字面意思就是：你總不能什麼都不付就有好處拿，也就是我們說的，天底下沒有免費的午餐。
4. token，trifle
token意爲“信物”，什麼定情信物之類的就是token；而trifle意爲“瑣事，無關緊要的小東西”，這裏女巫索要的信物就是Ariel的美麗嗓音，這可不是什麼trifle啊！
