影音口语

可可英语的网友朋友们大家好。今天我们还是继续电影《居家男人》。其实,在电影的一开头就是下面我们即将听到的机场话别的情景。时间还是1987年。那时的Jack还不是华尔街叱咤风云的金融专家,而是刚刚获得一个可以到伦敦巴克利银行实习的年轻人。他和女友Kate也深深相爱,但为了未来的发展,在女友提出让他留下,两个人成家共同努力的时候,他坚定的选择了离开。这也为后来Jack经历的一切打下了伏笔。一起来听。

Kate: Wait. I have a really bad feeling about this.

Jack: About the plane? You think it's gonna crash? Don't say that.

Kate: Look, I know that we've talked about this a thousand times and we agreed that going to London was the right thing to do. But in my heart...this feels wrong. Don't go, Jack.

Jack: You mean don't go at all? Well, what...what about my internship?

Kate: Believe me, I know...I know what an incredible opportunity this is for you.

Jack: For us, Kate.

Kate: Right, for us. But I'm afraid that if you get on that plane...

Jack: Look. We're at the airport. Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport. So we should just trust the decision we already made. You've been accepted to one of the best law schools in the country. I've got this internship at Barclay's Bank. We have a great plan, honey.

Kate: You wanna do something great, Jack? Let's flush the plan. Let's start our lives right now, today. I mean, I have no idea what this life is gonna look like but I know that it has the both of us in it. And I choose us. The plan doesn't make us great, Jack. What we have together, that's what makes us great.

Jack: I love you, Kate.

Kate: I love you too. I do.

Jack: And one year in London is not gonna change that. A hundred years couldn't change that.

Intern, 实习生;internship, 实习生职位;实习期。

Flush, 有冲洗的意思,比如,The lavatory won’t flush. 抽水马桶不好使了,不能冲水了。这里flush the plan指废弃原有的计划;改变原计划。

和女友分手后的Jack在金融界如鱼得水。但生活上,他一直不把感情看的很重。也因此不觉得别人的家庭生活是重要的。所以,尽管是圣诞夜,也希望员工能以工作为重。

在遇到黑人流浪汉的第二天早上,他发现自己熟悉的生活彻底消失了。自己和Kate已经结婚多年,有了两个孩子。

从刚开始的抓狂,到慢慢体会到有家人陪伴,努力有了方向和意义,Jack慢慢开始爱上了这样的生活。然而,不管是好梦还是噩梦,都有醒来的时候。Jack 几乎是依依不舍地回到了从前的生活,重新在自己熟悉的豪华大床上孤独地醒来。

本段对话内容非常简洁,不再进行过多讲解。下期,我们一起看看在圣诞到来的时候,Jack 做了怎样的选择。

对白译文

Kate: Wait. I have a really bad feeling about this. 等一等,我有不祥的预感。

Jack: About the plane? You think it's gonna crash? Don't say that. 你是说飞机? 会坠机? 别这么说。

Kate: Look, I know that we've talked about this a thousand times and we agreed that going to London was the right thing to do. But in my heart...this feels wrong. Don't go, Jack. 我知道我们讨论过很多次,我们都同意你该去伦敦。但我心底仍觉得这样不对。别走,杰克。

Jack: You mean don't go at all? Well, what...what about my internship? 你是说别去伦敦? 那我的实习怎么办?

Kate: Believe me, I know...I know what an incredible opportunity this is for you. 相信我,我知道,我知道对你这是难得的机会。

Jack: For us, Kate. 对我们两个都是。

Kate: Right, for us. But I'm afraid that if you get on that plane... 对。但我怕你一坐上那飞机...

Jack: Look. We're at the airport. Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport. So we should just trust the decision we already made. You've been accepted to one of the best law schools in the country. I've got this internship at Barclay's Bank. We have a great plan, honey. 我们在机场。人离别时难免失去理智。还是按原本的决定吧。你考进了理想的法学院,我要去实习。我们前途无量,亲爱的。

Kate: You wanna do something great, Jack? Let's flush the plan. Let's start our lives right now, today. I mean, I have no idea what this life is gonna look like but I know that it has the both of us in it. And I choose us. The plan doesn't make us great, Jack. What we have together, that's what makes us great. 你向往远大前途吗? 我们改变计划吧。今天就开始生活。我的意思是,生活不知会如何,但我们福祸与共。我要我们在一起。那个计划不会让我们真有前途,杰克。珍惜我们的爱才会真有前途。

Jack: I love you, Kate. 我爱你,凯特。

Kate: I love you too. I do. 我也爱你。

Jack: And one year in London is not gonna change that. A hundred years couldn't change that.去伦敦一年不会改变我们的爱,一百年也不会改变。
