Norrington: May I have a moment? You look lovely, Elizabeth. Elizabeth: Yes? Norrington: I apologize if I seem forward but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth. Elizabeth: I can't breathe. Norrington: Yes, I, I'm a bit nervous myself. Jack: ...and then they made me their chief. Norrington: Elizabeth? Elizabeth! Man1: The rocks! Sir, its a miracle she missed them! Jack: Will you be saving her then? Man 2: I can't swim. Jack: Pride of the King's Navy you are. Do not lose these. Man 2: What was that? Privates: Make way! Man2: I got her. Not breathing. Jack: Move! Man2: I Never would have thought of that. Jack: Clearly you've never been to Singapore. Where did you get that? Norrington: On your feet. Gov. Swann: Elizabeth. Are you alright? Elizabeth: Yes, yes, I'm fine. Gov. Swann: Shoot him! Elizabeth: Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer? Norrington: I believe thanks are in order. Had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we? Pirate? Gov. Swann: Hang him. 妙语佳句，活学活用 1. Forward Forward 在这里的意思可不是"向前"，而是"鲁莽，无礼，冒失，胆大妄为"的意思，例如：a rude, forward child 一个粗鲁冒失的孩子。在本段中，应做"冒失"解。 2. Speak one's mind 这个片语也写作 speak out，意为"说出某人的想法"，例如： Will you give me a chance to speak my mind or am I supposed to agree with everything you say? 3. Throw something into sharp relief "Sharp relief"意为"清晰，明了，清楚地意识到"，那么throw something into sharp relief 的意思就是"清楚地意识到某事，使某事清晰、明了，突出某事"，例如：September 11 threw the deficiencies of the US security system into sharp relief. 4. On one's feet On one's feet 除了表示"（要某人）站起来"以外，还可以表示"独立的，安全的"，例如： The loan helped him get on his feet again. 5. In order 此处的意思为"Suitable, fitting; appropriate"，例如：It appears that an apology is in order. 6. Have a brush with "Have an encounter or come in conflict with 和……打过交道，起过冲突"的意思，例如：This was not the first time that Bob had a brush with the law. |
