Bridget: Another year, a brand new diary. Once again I was summoned, kicking and screaming, to my mother's turkey curry1 buffet2, 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, crammed3 full with some of the most dangerous perverts4 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 underneath5 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 falters7 . 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 Dwarfs8, 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 ass9? 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 vat10 of excrement11. Richard: Unit two, give me a close-up of the porker. 妙词佳句,活学活用 1.jumper jumper在特定的场合有着特定的意思。 B:英国人口中的“套头衫”,是一种无袖的毛衫。我们熟悉的讲毛衫的词是sweater。jumper 和sweater在英国英语中都指套头的毛衫。在美国英语中,sweater也可以指那种有扣子的毛衫。 falter的意思有很多,而且基本每个意思都是常用的。比如: 3.Nothing in the world can spoil it. spoil这个词有“宠坏”和“破坏”两种意思,影片中用的是后者。 4.get sacked 很地道的表达方式,意思是“被解雇”。比如一个好友情绪低落,追问原因,才得知She's got sacked. 这个时候你就得多安慰她了。 5. You're on. on 是很小的一个词,同时也是很难用的词,因为它的意思实在是太多了。在这里on是当“上场,开演了, 开始了”讲。 You're on意思就是“你上场了,已经开拍了”。What's on?就是“演什么呢?” 6.You're live. “现在是实况转播。”我们经常听到的This is... on the spot. 就是“……在这里为你现场播报”。 点击收听单词发音
