核心動詞See最後一篇,主題:See的動詞片語~

為什麼聽不懂英文電影?
多益和托福高分,看英文電影還是需要中文字幕,為什麼?電影阿凡達,上校Miles簡單的七句話,都是一般人的話,可就是聽不懂!

聽不懂英文電影的迷思:
∂ 不懂專有名詞:事實,專有名詞少,而且聽前後文就知道是什麼
∂ 不懂俚語:事實,俚語在電影裡即使全部「消音」,也不影響劇情
∂ 不懂深奧的詞彙:事實,電影是大眾化的,很少生難字眼

聽不懂英文電影的主因:
∂ 基礎生活字彙量不夠,甚至連美國幼稚園會的quack都不懂
∂ 對簡單字了解不夠深入,hammer,不只是槌子
∂ 忽視片語,see to it,這個菜英文,東方卻沒幾個人會用


封面故事:
You get me what I need, I’ll see to it you get your legs back.
(你幫我拿到我要的,我就負責你的腿 Avatar 2009)

海軍陸戰隊員Jake Sully雙腿殘疾,被派至潘朵拉星球負責操作Avatar,行動前,上校Miles Quaritch給他一頓精神講話,只要能幫我,我就負責(see to it)給你一雙真的腿:

電影對話原文:

上校第一句:
A recon gyrene in an avatar body. That's a potent mix. Give me the goose bumps.
(海軍陸戰隊偵查兵進入阿凡達身體,宇宙超級無敵組合,讓我全身都興奮)

008  

∂ 這句聽不懂,不是gyrene和avatar,是單字不夠
* gyrene專用術語,海軍陸戰隊隊員,一般美國人也不懂
* recon 偵查,高中大學單字
* potent 強而有力的,高中大學單字
* mix 組合,國中程度單字
* goose bumps 雞皮疙瘩,幼稚園詞彙


上校第二句:
Such a Marine could provide the intel I need, right on the ground, right in the hostiles' camp.
(這樣的海軍陸戰隊可以提供我需要的情報,現場即時,直接深入敵營)

001  

∂ 這句聽不懂,除了單字,對名詞片語on the ground和詞組 the hostiles’ camp不熟悉是主因
* Marine,海軍陸戰隊,高中單字
* intel,情報,intelligence簡寫,高中單字
* on the ground,名詞片語,事件發生地點
* the hostile,敵人,高中單字


上校第三句:
Look, Sully. I want you to learn these savages from the inside. I want you to gain their trust.
(聽好,我要你從內部了解這些野蠻人,我要你取得他們的信任)

002  

∂ 這句聽不懂,除了單字,對名詞片語from the inside感覺不夠是主因
* savage,野蠻人,高中單字
* from the inside,名詞片語,來自內部,另一個on the inside,在內部
* gain,取得,高中單字
* trust,信任,國中高中單字


上校第四句:
I need to know how to force their cooperation or hammer them hard if they won't.
(我需要知道如何迫使他們合作,如果不從,要知道如何教訓他們)

003  

∂ 這句聽不懂,是因為對單字了解不夠,force, hammer都可以拿來當動詞
* force, cooperation, 高中單字
* hammer,國中單字


Jake回答:
Am I still with Augustine?
(我還在Augustine下面工作嗎?)

004  

∂ 這句聽不懂,第一是因為不懂with someone的用法,比方,I’ve been with Asus for five years now. (我在華碩工作五年了),第二,被Augustine這個罕見的名字嚇到,以為是什麼了不起的羅馬大帝


上校第五句:
On paper. Yeah, you walk like one of her science pukes, you quack like one, but you report to me. Can you do that for me, son?
(名義上是,你有樣學樣跟這群噁心科學家,學他們鴨子呱呱叫,但是你對我報告,你辦得到嗎?)

005  

∂ 這句聽不懂,第一是不懂on paper名詞片語,第二是不懂簡單的生活單字puke和quack
* on paper,名詞片語,書面上、名義上
* science pukes,噁心的科學家,puke,國高中單字
* quack,鴨子叫,美國小朋友都會


Jack回答:
Hell, yeah, sir.
(長官,當然)

006  
∂ 這句如果聽不懂,是對Hell這個強化語氣不了解,不是地獄,Hell yes,絕對的絕對、當然得當然


上校第六句:
Well, all right, then.
(嗯,那就沒問題了)

007  
∂ 這句沒什麼疑問,倒是建議少用Well和You know,很多人以為說這兩個詞很酷、很老美,在老美的耳裡是,「你沒話說了吧!還要想…」,但是Well在這句沒問題,表示說話的人仔細考慮過對方的意見。


上校第七句:
So, I take care of my own. You get me what I need, I'll see to it you get your legs back when you rotate home. Your real legs.
(所以,這邊我來搞定,你幫我拿到我要的,等輪調回國,我負責弄好你的腿,一雙真的腿)
