身临其境练一练

Kung Fu Panda,《功夫熊猫》

A:When you focus on kung fu when you concentrate, you stink. Perhaps that is my fault. I cannot train you the way I have trained the Five. I now see that the way to get through to you...is with this.

甲:当你一心想着功夫，心无杂念，你就会散发出体臭。不过那也许是我的错。我不该一成不变，像教导“五杰”一样教导你。不过现在我明白了，要你学好武功…就得靠这个。

B:Oh, great, because I am hungry.

乙:噢，太棒了，我饿死了。

A:Good.When you have been trained, you may eat. Let us begin. After you, panda.

甲:很好。你有点长进的时候，就可以吃了。授业开始。熊猫，你先请。

B:Just like that? No sit-ups? No ten-mile hike?

乙:这么简单？不需要仰卧起坐？不需要跑十里步？

A:I vowed to train you, and you have been trained. You are free to eat. Enjoy.

甲:我起誓教你武功，你也学有所成。你可以尽情享用了。多吃点。

B:Hey!

乙:嘿！

A:I said you are free to eat. Have a dumpling.

甲:我说了你可以尽情享用，来个校子。

B:Hey!

乙:嘿！

A:You are free to eat.

甲:尽情享用。

B:Am I?

乙:我可以吗？

A:Are you?

甲:你可以吗？

B:I'm not hungry. Master.

乙:我不饿。师傅。

重点讲解:

I'm terribly hungry.

I'm starving.

在英语中要表达“饥饿的”意思，除了用形容词hungry,还有一个更加形象、表示饥饿程度更深的词starving，相当于very hungry，意思是很饿所以老外在表达“我很饿”时，常会说I'm starving.
