影片对白

Mr Goodfellow: Mrs Parker asked after you again this morning.

Mrs Goodfellow: Surprise, surprise.

Mr Goodfellow: I think I'm beginning to run out excuses.

Mrs Goodfellow: Well, then don't make any. You know what you can do, you can go down and kill that bloody dog,
and I'll put in a month of Sundays.

Mr Goodfellow: Was that a brassier over Holly's shoulder this morning?

Mrs Goodfellow: You're a half day behind the rest of us, you know that? We call it a bra nowadays.

Mr Goodfellow: Why did she have it over her shoulder?

Mrs Goodfellow: She was doing the laundry.

(Dog barking)

Mrs Goodfellow: Mr Brown? Mr Brown, it's Mrs Goodfellow, about Clarence, it's about your dog.

Mr Brown: You woke me.

Mrs Goodfellow: Yes, well, your dog woke me.

Mr Brown: What did you say?

Mrs Goodfellow: I said your dog woke me.

Mr Brown: Well, he's found his voice.

Mrs Goodfellow: Yes, he has, hasn't he? I was wondering whether we could perhaps keep him inside just the night-time.
妙语佳句,活学活用
1. ask after
这个片语的意思是“to make inquiries about the health, etc of 问候,探问”,表示对第三方的问候,例如:She asked after his father. 她问候了他的父亲。


2. I think I'm beginning to run out excuses
“我想我没什么借口了”。Run out 这里的意思是“用光,耗尽”。

3. put in
Put in 这里的意思是“spend time at a location or job”,就是“工作(在布道后和牧师一起在教堂外送别教众)”,例如:He put in three years at hard labor. 他辛苦工作了三年。

4. a month of Sundays
一个月有28天到31天,“一个月的星期天”就意味着连续三十个星期。这个成语喻指“很长的时间”。例如:He could easily have revenged himself by giving me a kick with heavy shoes on the head or the loins that would have spoiled my running for a month of Sundays. 他若要报仇,那很容易,只要用他沉重的靴尖向我头部或腰部一踢,就能让我很长时间走不了路。

5. You're a half day behind the rest of us
“你比我们慢半拍。”Mrs Goodfellow 的意思是自己的丈夫专注于宗教,和世俗的生活要脱节了。
