精彩对白

Bride 1: I'd like to take a moment to give a special thank-you to a girl...who's really gone above and beyond:

Bride2: The girl who not only hosted my shower and helped me design the invitation-

Bride1: She went with me to the caterer¹, the florist², the wedding cake bakery-

Bride2: And to eight bridal stores...where she helped me cling to my self-esteem-

Bride1: As I tried on dress after dress.

Bride2: So thanks, Jane! Bride1: Thanks, Jane. Okay! Everybody ready?

Man: Is she all right? Is she all right?

Kevin: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. Just take it easy. You don't wanna move around too much. Okay. This is a serious injury. I need you to give me some ice. You, give me a bottle of 100-proof liquor...and something she can bite on- stat! All right. She's fine, folks. Just a little bump on the head. Carry on.

Jane: You a doctor?

Kevin: No, but Tweedledee and "Tweedledrunk" were bugging³ me, so-- Okay. Do you know your name?

Jane: Jane.

Kevin: Jane. I'm Kevin.

Jane: Hmm. Thank you for helping⁴ me.

Kevin: Sure. Got it? Okay. You're good?

Jane: I'm fine.

Kevin: All right. Whoa, whoa. Okay. Why don't we get you a cab? All right. Nice and easy. Let's walk.

[Jazz Standard] That I'm irresponsibly mad for you.

Kevin: I loved your thong⁵, by the way. You buzzed past me earlier. I saw you changing gowns. You were in two weddings in one night, weren't you? That's a little upsetting, don't you think?

Jane: They're both good friends of mine, and their weddings happened to be on the same night, so what was I supposed to do?

Kevin: Oh, no. That's not the upsetting part. How do you stand it? I mean, isn't one wedding bad enough?

Jane: I love weddings. I always have.

Kevin: Really?

Jane: Yeah:

Kevin: Which part, the forced merriment, horrible music or bad food?

Jane: Actually, it's meeting upbeat people like yourself.

Kevin: Love is patient. Love is kind. Love means slowly losing your mind.

Jane: What do you do again?

Kevin: I'm a writer.

Jane: Right. This is my building:

Kevin: I got it:

Jane: No. I got it.

Kevin: Sure? J

ane: Yeah. All right, sweetie. A hundred and forty. You know what you did. Hey! What's- No. He's gonna be right back. Hold on.

Kevin: Don't you think it's a whole lot of ritual for something that…Let's face it- It's got about a 50-50 shot of making it out of the gate.

Jane: How very refreshing⁶. A man who doesn't believe in marriage.

Kevin: I'm just trying to point out the hypocrisy⁷ of the spectacle.

Jane: That's so noble of you. Do you also go around...telling small children that Santa Claus doesn't exist?' Cause someone needs to blow that shit wide open.

Kevin: So you admit that believing in marriage is kind of like believing in Santa Claus.

Jane: No. I, I don't know why I'm arguing this with a perfect stranger. But, yes, marriage, like everything good and important, isn't easy. Cynicism, on the other hand, always is. It was very interesting meeting you.

Kevin: Bye.

Jane: Yeah.

Kevin: You gonna be in more weddings next weekend?

Jane: I have to go.

Kevin: How many have you been in, by the way? Just, like, ballpark.

Jane: Good night.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. take a moment: 花一些时间来做某事。在结婚典礼上，新娘为了表达对Jane的感谢，说：“让我花一些时间，来表达对Jane的谢意。”

2. above and beyond: 大于，多于。新娘在这里称赞Jane，说她go above and beyond，意思是说她不辞辛劳，为婚礼跑了很多腿。

3. shower: 婚前派对，也称为bridal shower，为即将结婚的女性举行的聚会。有时我们为即将分娩的“准妈妈”也举办此类shower。

4. bridal store: 婚纱店。一些bridal store不仅提供wedding gowns（结婚礼服），还为bridesmaid（伴娘）准备了bridesmaid dresses（伴娘礼服）。

5. take it easy: 别紧张。碰到很让人着急的情况时，我们常会说：“Take it easy.” （别着急，沉住气）。

6. 100-proof liquor: 纯酒精。Proof在这里指a standard used to measure the strength of alcoholic⁸ drinks（标准酒精度）。Proof做后缀，一般用来表示“防…的；抗…的”，例如：bid-proof（防竞争收购），chip-proof（不易破碎的）。

7. merriment: 嬉戏，欢笑。Kevin觉得在婚礼上，人们都要forced merriment（扮笑），听难听的音乐，吃味道很差的食物，所以他一点儿也不喜欢参加婚礼。

8. lose one's mind: 不能自制。Kevin的意思是“爱情让人无法控制自己”。例如：I lose my mind just stand next to him.（和他站在一起就使我意乱情迷）。

9. 50-50 shot: 50%的几率。Kevin是个婚姻怀疑论者，所以他说，结婚的人有50-50 shot（50%的几率）of making it out of the gate（离婚）。#p#分页标题#e#

10. cynicism: 愤世嫉俗，玩世不恭。人们还常称这类人为“犬儒主义”。犬儒主义的本意是指人应当摒弃一切世俗的事物，包括宗教、礼节、惯常的衣食住行方面的习俗等一切世俗，提倡对道德的无限追求，同时过着极简单而非物质的生活。现在，“犬儒主义”一词通常用来描述那些认为“人不为己、天诛地灭”是人类行为的原动力，并且拒绝认为利他主义及道德考量是人类行为的原始动机的人。
