《唐顿庄园》三
精彩对白 Mary: Are you looking for something? Carson: Lady Mary? I just wanted to make sure the room had been tidied up after the...after the people had left. Mary: Life can be terribly unfair, can't it? Carson: It certainly can. Mary: Everything seems so golden one minute, then turns to ashes the next. Can I ask you a question, Carson? Have you ever felt your life was somehow slipping away and there was nothing you could do to stop it? Carson: I think everyone feels that at one time or another. Mary: The odd thing is I feel, for the first time, really, I understand what it is to be happy. It's just I know that I won't be. Carson: Oh, don't say that, My Lady. Don't raise the white flag quite yet. You'll still be mistress of Downton. Old Lady Grantham hasn't given up the fight, not by a long chalk. Mary: Oh, that...I wasn't even thinking about that. Carson: And if I may say so, My Lady, you're still very young. Mary: Am I? I don't feel it. Carson: We're all behind you, My Lady. The staff. We're all on your side. Mary: Thank you, Carson. You've always been so kind to me. Always. From when I was quite a little girl. Why is that? Carson: Even a butler has his favourites, My Lady. Mary: Does he? I'm glad. Anna: Lady Mary. Oh, My Lady, I thought... Mary: Carson and I were just making sure that everything was ship-shape and Bristol fashion. And it is. 妙语佳句 活学活用 Everything seems so golden one minute, then turns to ashes the next: 一切本是那么美好,忽然间就灰飞烟灭。 at one time or another: 曾经,早晚 raise the white flag: 投降,放弃。这里Carson的意思是:别轻言放弃。 not by a long chalk: (英国口语)绝不,相当于not at all, not by any means We're all behind you: 我们都支持你,我们都跟你一条心。 ship-shape: 有条不紊;井井有条的 Bristol fashion: 井然有序 |
