【劇情簡(jiǎn)介】女巫開出的價(jià)碼就是Ariel的美妙歌喉——為了說服Ariel，女巫說，人類淑女可都是不能嘰里呱啦說個(gè)不停的，女生只要有一張好看的臉就行了——Beautiful face speaks louder than words??！



【電影片段臺(tái)詞】
- My voice?
- You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip.
- But without my voice, how can I -
- You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber. They think a girl who gossips is a bore. Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word. And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

【重點(diǎn)詞匯講解】
1. sweetcakes 小甜心
??? 我們見過sweetheart、sweetie等各種表達(dá)“小甜心、小寶貝”的說法，這里女巫說的是sweetcakes——看來冠以sweet之稱的事物都能用來表示“甜心”這個(gè)詞啊。
2. Zip！把嘴巴拉上
??? zip就是拉鏈，也可以做動(dòng)詞，意為“把拉鏈拉上”。這兒女巫說zip，就是說Ariel失去聲音后，就像嘴巴上安了拉鏈，拉得死死的。
3. blabber，prattle
??? 這兩個(gè)單詞讀起來就像是那種喋喋不休說閑話時(shí)的聲音，都可以表示“閑聊、瞎聊”的意思，是近義詞。女巫的詞匯量還真豐富啊。
4. They think a girl who gossips is a bore. 他們認(rèn)為多嘴多舌的女孩子特?zé)┤恕?br> ??? boring意為“無聊的，使人厭煩的”，名詞bore就可以表示令人厭煩的事物或者人。
5. it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word. 淑女們最好不要開口說話。
??? it's preferred for sb. to do sth.這個(gè)句型，表示“（某人）最好做某事”，也是相當(dāng)好用的句型哦。
