2) What did the guys invite Scarlett to do?
* Script:
Gone with the Wind
Brent: What do we care if we were expelled from college? The war’s gonna start any day, so we would’ve left college anyhow.
Stuart: War! Isn’t it exciting, Scarlett? Do you know those Yankees actually want a war?
Brent: We’ll show ’em!
Scarlett: Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war! This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn’t going to be any war.
Brent: Not gonna be any war?
Stuart: Why, honey, of course there’s going to be a war.
Scarlett: If either of you says “war” just once again... I’ll go in the house and slam the door.
Brent: But, Scarlett! Honey…
Stuart: Don’t you want us to have a war?
Brent: Wait a minute, honey, please!
Stuart: We’re sorry.
Scarlett: Well... But remember, I warned you.
Stuart: I’ve got an idea! We’ll talk about the Wilkes’ barbecue (户外烤肉宴会) at Twelve Oaks.
Brent: That’s a good idea! Aren’t you eating barbecue with us?
Scarlett: I haven’t thought about that yet. I’ll think about that tomorrow.
Stuart: We want all your waltzes (华尔兹) . First Brent, then me, then Brent, then me again and so on.
Brent: Promise?
Scarlett: I’d just love to. If only I didn’t have every one of them taken already.
Stuart: Why, honey, you can’t do that to us!
Brent: How about if we tell you a secret.
Scarlett: A secret? Who about?
Stuart: Do you know Miss Melanie Hamilton from Atlanta (亚特兰大) ?
Brent: Ashley Wilkes’s cousin? She’s visiting the Wilkes.
Scarlett: That goody-goody! Who wants to know a secret about her?
Stuart: Anyway, we heard, that is, they say…
Brent: Ashley Wilkes is gonna marry her. The Wilkeses always marry their cousins.
Stuart: Now do we get those waltzes?
Scarlett: Of course.
Brent & Stuat: I’ll bet the other boys will be hopping mad. Let’em be mad. We two can handle’em.
Scarlett: It can’t be true! Ashley loves me!
Stuart: Scarlett!
Brent: What’s gotten into her?
Stuart: Do you suppose we made her mad?
* Notes:
影片《乱世佳人》改编自美国小说家玛格丽特·米歇尔的代表作《飘》,是一部耗资巨大、场景豪华、战争场面宏大逼真的历史巨片,于1939年夺得第12届奥斯卡8项金像奖,轰动美国影坛。《乱世佳人》展现了美国南北战争时期南方动乱的社会现实。以“乱世佳人”斯嘉丽为主线,描写了几对青年的爱情纠葛。女主角斯嘉丽年轻貌美,贪婪自信,为了自己和庄园的利益可以把爱情和婚姻作为交易。但同时斯嘉丽又勇敢、坚强,对爱情有着火一样的狂野。男主角瑞德则放荡不羁、玩世不恭,却又流露出绅士风度。两人在内战的烽火之后演绎了不同寻常的爱情传奇。该片前半部如同一首史诗,重现100多年前种植园文明的没落,亚特兰大五角广场遍地的伤兵,不断的逃难、枪杀、大火等场面规模宏伟,色彩雄浑;后半部则是一出悲恸的心理剧,诠释了女主角斯嘉丽在内心的冲突与情感的纠葛中逐渐走向成熟的过程。
● B. Watch the movie clip from The Little Mermaid and enjoy it!
* Script:
The Little Mermaid
[On beach. Ariel is sitting next to the unconscious (失去知觉的) Eric.]
Ariel: Is he dead?
Scuttle: (Opens Eric’s eyelid.) It’s hard to say. (Puts his ear against Eric’s foot.) Oh, I — I can’t make out a heartbeat.
Ariel: No, look! He’s breathing. He’s so, beautiful.
What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?
Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world.
(Sebastian and Flounder have washed up and are watching scene. Max and Grimsby approach. Ariel hurries away.)
Grimsby: Eric! Oh, Eric. You really delight in these sadistic (虐待狂的) strains on my blood pressure, don’t you?
Eric: A girl — rescued me… She was — singing… she had the most — beautiful voice.
Grimsby: Ah, Eric, I think you’ve swallowed (吞咽) a bit too much seawater. Off we go. Come on, Max.
Sebastian: We just gotta forget this whole thing ever happened. The sea king will never know. You won’t tell him, I won’t tell him. I will stay in one piece.
Ariel: I don’t know when
I don’t know how
But I know something’s starting right now
Watch and you’ll see
Some day I’ll be
Part of your world
(Flotsam and Jetsam appear. Fade to Ursula watching from her chamber.)
Ursula: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can’t stand it — it’s too easy. The child is in love with a human. And not just any human — a prince! Her daddy’ll LOVE that. King Triton’s headstrong, lovesick (害相思病的) girl would make a charming addition to my little garden.
