The Shawshank Redemption 肖申克的救赎（一）
|
MAN #1: Sit. MAN #2: We see by your file you've served twenty years of a life sentence . RED: Yes, sir. MAN #3: You feel you've been rehabilitated ? RED: Yes, sir. Absolutely. I've learned my lesson. I can honestly say I'm a changed man. I'm no longer a danger to society. That's the God's honest truth. CON #1: Hey, Red. How'd it go? RED: Same old shit, different day. CON #1: Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm up for rejection next week. CON #2: Yeah, I got rejected last week. It happens. CON #3: Hey, Red, bump me a deck . RED: Get the fuck out of my face, man! You're into me for five packs already. CON #3: Four. RED: Five! RED (V.O.): There's must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get it for you. Cigarettes, a bag of reefer if that's your thing, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation. Damn near anything within reason. Yes sir, I'm a regular Sears & Roebuck. RED: So when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked me to smuggle Rita Hayworth into the prison for him, I told him no problem. 妙词佳句，活学活用 1. life sentence: 无期徒刑；终身监禁。《肖申克的救赎》是一部监狱题材的影片，所以牵扯到很多和犯罪相关的词语，在这个片段里我们还会看到一个单词：con.这是一种俚语的说法，意思是“罪犯”。相当于convict. 此外对罪犯的终极惩罚通常就是死刑，而死刑一词的表达是death penalty, 我们把它放在这里和影片中出现的相关词汇一起掌握。 2. rehabilitate: 这个词的本意是“康复、修复”，在这个语境里，因为Red在申请假释，所以警察这句话不是问他“你觉得你已经康复了吗？”而是问他是否已经“改邪归正”。 3. God's truth：意思是“真实的事情”，一般用来指说话人特别想强调的事实，比如It is God's truth that my next door neighbor was a murderer at large!就是“我的隔壁住着一个在逃的杀人犯，这事儿千真万确！” 4. up for：打算；准备 I'm up for rejection next week. 意思为“我已经做好了准备，下周申请假释的时候也被拒”。再如：The house is up for sale. 房子准备出售。be up for是一个很常用的词组，在口语中，为了避免句式单调，我们可以用这个词组替代be ready. 5. bump me a deck：这是非常俚语的讲法。bump这里的意思相当于lend，deck是指a pack of cigarettes。所以整句的意思就是“借我一盒烟”。监狱里的犯人常常用一种普通人听不懂的指代词语来谈论一些事情，这可以说是他们长年牢狱生活的“创造”。 6. be into sb：这也是一个非常俚语的讲法。在这里的是borrow或者owe的意思。整句话的意思就是：You have already borrowed five packs from me. |
