精彩对白 Emilia: Jack1? Hi. He does? Uh, where are you? Hey, Will. What's up? Jack: Well, his mother's getting married today. And he wouldn't leave the house without me, and now he won't go inside without you. Emilia: Let me guess. When I moved out three weeks ago, did you think your dad was gonna move back in with your mom? William: Sort of. Since you were done being married, they could be done being divorced. Emilia: But it's not working out that way, is it? She's marrying somebody else. William: Yeah. Emilia: That's hard. Not everything works out the way you hope. What can you do? Will, help me out here, bud. Why'd you ask to see me? I would have thought I'd be the last person you'd want to see. William: Well, Sonia's in New Jersey2. But she's not family. And I figured, you're my sister's mom. And that's family. Right? Emilia: I will always be your sister's mom. William: Then how come you don't live with us anymore? Emilia: Well, because... I don't belong with you guys. It's like Lyle the Crocodile. Lyle doesn't belong in an apartment. He belongs with all the other crocodiles at the Central Park Zoo. William: There are no crocodiles there, only caimans. Emilia: It's a metaphor3, William. You know metaphors4. What I'm trying to say is, I'm sort of like Lyle. You know, I don't belong with you and your dad, 'cause, you know, my teeth are too sharp and my tail is too long. William: But Lyle does so belong with his family. They love him, even though he's a crocodile, even when he's not always the nicest or not so good with children. Emilia: Lyle was always nice to children. William: It's a metaphor, Emilia. Emilia: Thanks, Will. It's a really good one. Jack: So what do you say, Will? You ready to do this? Emilia: Let's not ruin her day, okay? Not bad. I mean, you look miserable5, but not bad. That's what I shoot for. Jack: Come on. Carolyn: She'll hold our time, won't she? Carolyn's husband: I'm sure. Carolyn: Oh, thank God. What happened? Why is Emilia here? Never mind. Let's go. We're late. We were due in Judge Jody's chambers6 ten minutes ago. We have to run. Jack: Thank you. Emilia: Anytime. Jack: What are you doing now? Emilia: Getting fired, probably. I've been working at Simon's legal aid thing. It's day six, and I've been AWOL twice. Jack: I meant- I thought maybe we could have dinner or take a walk or something. Emilia: Are we allowed? Jack: Yeah. We are. 妙语佳句 活学活用 1. What's up: 什么事?怎么了? 2. sort of: (想不出恰当的词或不知下面该怎么说时用)可以说,可说是 3.
