-Natalie. Erm, I'm starting to feel...uncomfortable about us working so closely every day and me knowing so little about you, it seems elitist and wrong.
-Well, there's not much to know.
-Well, erm, where do you live, for instance?
-Wandsworth. The dodgy end.
-Ah, my sister lives in Wandsworth.
-Oh.
-So which exactly is the dodgy end?
-At the end of the high street, Harris Street, near the Queen's Head.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, that is dodgy. Erm, and you live with your husband? Boyfriend? Three illegitimate but charming children?
-No. I've just split up with my boyfriend, so I'm back with my mum and dad for a while.
-Ah. Sorry.
-No, it's fine. I'm well shot of him. He said I was getting fat.
-I beg your pardon?
-He said no one'd fancy a girl with thighs the size of tree trunks. Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
-You know, erm...being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
-Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
-The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless, trained killers are just a phone call away.

SAS
英國陸軍第22特別空勤團SAS(Special Air Service)是 大部分現代特種戰(zhàn)術的開創(chuàng)者,所有現代特種部隊的楷模,以能在短時間內準確而高效的完成任務而著稱,同時也是世界上最好的特種部隊。是目前所有特種部隊中任務完成率最高的。(以下簡稱SAS)標志在SAS的臂章上,簡潔的繡有3樣獨具SAS特色的東西。短劍(石中劍)——鋒利無比,能精確刺入敵人要害;張開的翅膀——既是表示這支部隊特種空勤團的身份,同時也表示其能快速的部署到地球上任何需要的地方;臂章下端,紅邊藍底的綬帶上繡著特種空勤團的座右銘:“勇者必勝!”?

-Mr President, has it been a good visit?
-Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for and our special relationship is still very special. Prime Minister?
-I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm...Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.
Covers all manner of sins
Sin這個詞在宗教上來講是“原罪”的意思,而在這里只把它翻譯成“罪”就可以了,除了“sin”之外,cover這個詞也很重要,除了我們熟知的“覆蓋”的一直說之外,它還有“包括”的意思。
Taking exactly what he wants
“拿走他想要的東西”。這句話雖然很簡單,但很少見人表達的淋漓盡致,我們來舉個例子,看香港片的時候經常聽到主角們說:“別阻止我,我只想拿走我想要的東西!”翻譯成英文就是“Just stay away from me, I just take what I want !”
A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend.
相信大家都聽過一句話:A friend in need is a friend in deed.今天我們又可以學到一句:A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend.一個仗勢欺人的朋友算不算是真正的朋友。
From now onward
“從現在開始”的意思,相當于from now on
