光看美劇學(xué)英文是不夠滴!^o^口語也要扎實學(xué)

8.
Sam: What coordinates do we have?
Roy: {Pulls out GPS} 35-111.
——我們在什么方位?coordinate指坐標,這里用復(fù)數(shù),我想是說有經(jīng)緯兩個坐標軸的緣故。而回答中的數(shù)字,前者表示北緯north latitude后者表示西經(jīng)west longitude

9. We never should have let you come out here in the first place.
——in the first place起初,首先

10. No you’re not fine, you’re like a powder keg man it’s not like you. I’m supposed to be the belligerent one, remember?
——形容人易怒的兩個方法,a powder keg man 火藥桶一樣的人; belligerent man 好斗的人。

11. I mean this search could take a while, and all that anger, you can’t keep it burning over the long haul, it’s gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man.
——keep anger burning 怒火中燒的很形象的表達。
——over the long haul 長遠的,從長遠觀點看

12. 高級捉鬼理論——
Wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or northern Michigan. Think about it, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice. Anasazi symbols, it’s for protection. The wendigo can’t cross over them. They’re hundreds of years old. Each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, other times a frontiersman or a miner or a hunter. During some harsh winter a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp, like the Donnor Party. Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality. If you eat enough of it, over years, you become this less than human thing. You’re always hungry. More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it’s awake it keeps it’s victims alive. It uh, stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother’s alive it’s keeping him somewhere dark, hidden and safe. We gotta track it back there. Well guns are useless so are knives, basically we gotta torch the sucker.
——此段是對話改制而成,介紹了一種生物wendigo. 這是出自北美神話中的雪怪溫迪歌。這種生物可以是人轉(zhuǎn)換而成的。Wendigo這個詞除了指這種食人族之外,還指這種食人的信仰。
——Anasazi 北美原住民文化阿納薩齊文化
——Donnor Party,是指19世紀40年代的西方入殖熱潮中,一群入殖于加利福尼亞州的移民。在1846-1847年的冬天,由于積雪,他們?yōu)榱吮4嫔_始食用人肉。
——大意是,雪怪有爪子,可以模仿人聲。但是他無法進入畫有阿納薩奇圖文的領(lǐng)地。他們曾經(jīng)也是人類,有些是印第安人,或者住在邊境的人,或者礦工,獵手。在嚴寒中為了求生開始食用同伴的肉。世界上的很多文化中都認為食人可以讓人獲得很多能力,比如速度,力量,永生。食人族們會漸漸喪失人性。由于曾經(jīng)經(jīng)受過食物短缺的危機,溫迪歌非常愿意圈養(yǎng)受害者于陰暗處,以備過冬之需。槍和刀都殺不死他們,只能用大火燒死他們。

13. We’ll never outrun it.
——outrun比誰跑得快

14. Must you cheapen the moment?
——你一定要貶低這一刻么?(本來人家要好好感謝Dean,可是他卻用打哈哈的方式破壞了這個氣氛。)
