美語情景對話 第431期:Movie Plans 電影計劃

Todd: Hey, Akane, I was thinking, why don't we get everyone together tonight and rent a movie.

託德：嗨，茜，我在想，我們今晚爲什麼不把大家集合起來，一起租電影看呢？

Akane: Sounds like a good idea.

茜：聽起來是個不錯的主意。

Todd: So, I'll run down to the video store. I was thinking, because Star Wars is coming out, why don't we get the previous Star Wars, Episode II, and watch that.

託德：我會去音像店。我在想，《星球大戰》即將上映，我們爲什麼不回顧之前的《星球大戰》電影呢，看第二部怎麼樣？

Akane: Oh, man. I really don't want to watch that again.

茜：哦，夥計。我真的不想再看一遍了。

Todd: What! Come on it's Star Wars.

託德：什麼？別這樣，這可是《星球大戰》啊。

Akane: Well, I watched Episode II before and I really didn't like it.

茜：嗯，我以前看過第二部，我真的不喜歡那部電影。

Todd: Really!

託德：真的嗎？

Akane: Yeah!

茜：是啊！

Todd: Oh, I thought it was great. I mean I know the critics were really rough, but it had great action, cool characters.

託德：哦，可是我認爲那部電影很棒。我是說，我知道對那部電影的批評很多，可是裏面的動作戲很棒，而且人物也很酷。

Akane: Well, actually, I thought it was very commercial.

茜：嗯，實際上我認爲那部電影商業元素太重。

Todd: Oh, really!

託德：哦，真的嗎？

Akane: Yeah, and the whole thing was really mushy, and there were also some annoying characters.

茜：是啊，而且整部電影過去肉麻，還有一些讓人討厭的角色。

Todd: Yeah, well, maybe, but, I just like all Star Wars, it doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be perfect. As long as there's storm troopers, and light sabers, I'm happy.

託德：可能吧，不過我喜歡所有的《星球大戰》電影，所以沒關係，它不用太完美。只要有暴風突擊隊，我就很高興了。

Akane: OK, so you're a big Star Wars fan.

茜：好，所以你是《星球大戰》電影的狂熱粉絲。

Todd: Huge. But that's OK. I'll get that movie another time. Um, how about you suggest a movie. What would you like to see?

託德：狂熱粉絲。不過沒關係。我下次再租那部電影好了。嗯，你來推薦部電影怎麼樣？你想看什麼電影？

Akane: Um, I really like romantic comedies, especially Meg Ryan movies.

茜：嗯，我非常喜歡浪漫喜劇，尤其是梅格·瑞恩演的電影。

Todd: Oh, no!

託德：哦不！

Akane: Yeah!

茜：是啊！

Todd: I can't stand her.

託德：我可不喜歡她。

Akane: What! What's wrong with her?

茜：什麼？她怎麼了？

Todd: She's terrible. Every movie she has the perfect life, and she has, she looks so cute, but she can't find love. It's like, come on, people like that have a perfect job and look cute and beautiful like Meg Ryan do not have trouble finding love.

託德：她太糟糕了。她在每部電影裏都有完美的生活，她看上去很可愛，可是她找不到愛情。就像，人們希望像梅格·瑞恩這樣擁有完美的工作、長相甜美漂亮的人不會在尋找愛情方面遇到麻煩。

Akane: But she's so cute and funny to watch. I just really enjoy watching her.

茜：但是她很可愛，而且很有趣。我非常喜歡看她出演的電影。

Todd: I don't know. I just can't do it. You know though, I liked Meg Ryan in that movie she's made about, she went to the Gulf War, or whatever, and she was a helicopter pilot.

託德：我不知道。我就是不喜歡。你知道，雖然我喜歡她出演的那部電影，在電影中她出演了一名直升飛機飛行員，參加了海灣戰爭。

Akane: Oh, yeah, yeah! I remember that one. I forget what it was called though.

茜：哦，對！我記得那部電影。不過我忘了電影的名字了。

Todd: Yeah, yeah, she was OK in that but she wasn't that cutesy romance.

託德：嗯，她在那部電影裏還不錯，不過那並不是那種嬌媚的浪漫角色。

Akane: That's true. She was a different character than usual.

茜：沒錯。她在那部電影中出演了與之前不同的角色。

Todd: Yeah, so we can't see a Meg Ryan movie, and we can't see Star Wars, so what else?

託德：對，所以我們不能看梅格·瑞恩演的電影，我們也不能看《星球大戰》，那還有什麼電影呢？

Akane: Ah, I don't know. What about a comedy that will make us really laugh.

茜：我也不知道了。我們看部能讓我們發笑的喜劇電影怎麼樣？

Todd: OK, um, let's see. We could see Shrek.

託德：好，嗯，我想想。我們可以看《怪物史萊克》。

Akane: Oh, I love Shrek.

茜：哦，我喜歡《怪物史萊克》。

Todd: Ok, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I haven't seen Shrek 2. Have you seen Shrek 2?

託德：好，好的，很好。實際上，我沒看過《怪物史萊克2》。你看過嗎？

Akane: Ah, no, I haven't actually.

茜：沒有，我也沒看過。

Todd: Perfect. Shrek 2.

託德：太好了。我們就看《怪物史萊克2》。

Akane: Great! We'll get that.

茜：太棒了！我們去租那部電影。

Todd: OK. I'll run down and pick it up.

託德：好的。我會去音像店租來的。

Akane: Thanks.

茜：謝謝。
