《DUMBO》Sentences
- We haven't got all day. 别浪费时间了。
本因源自此句想表达的意思应该是这样的 We haven't got all day to do this. (我们不能全天都干这个。) - who's heading camp management? 谁负责管理营地? = in charge of
- we are all wearing multiple hats! 我们都身兼数职!
- I don't wanna be a show-off in your circus. 我不想在你的马戏团里现眼
- Give me a showstopper. 给我个重头节目吧(因特别精彩而被掌声打断的表演)
- -No, you are not serious.
-I am on occasion. 我难得会认真一次 - Bellissima! 小可爱/小美丽!
- I had to get him way down on the price. 我和他砍了价
- Let's skedaddle,Mrs. Jumbo! circus的stuff驱赶Dumbo的妈妈从火车上下来的时候这么说,skedaddle本意为逃走,这里用在驱赶牲畜。
Don't make me have to incentivize. 不要逼我动粗。incentivize的本意是to provide (someone) with a good reason for wanting to do something(给与激励) - Well, well, Our own Tom Mix ridin' in to the rescue. But he just ain't on the marquee no more. 看看,我们的大明星来英雄救美了, 但是观众已经不买账了。
Tom Mix是演美国西部电影的著名演员,可以想象西部牛仔英雄救美的样子,骑着马,拉起美女就策马而去。有点像铁木真把他女人拉上马背扬长而去的画面。ride in to the rescue也就是他们这种人擅长的吧。
marquee除了“帐篷”,还有“字幕”的意思,on the marquee → 在字幕上方,就是说在电视上可以看到。
至于ain't,ain't is a contraction for am not, is not, are not, has not, and have not in the common English language vernacular. 它是这些的总称。 - Imagine my surprise, you didn't enlist. 真是出乎意料,你没有服兵役。
Imagine my surprise, ... 真出乎我意料,... ...
enlist 服兵役,入伍 - Notify the press. 通知报社!
press做名词,有报社、新闻界的意思 - The Medici Brothers' present the newest precious bundle of joy! 带来一场全新的欢喜盛宴。
bundle of joy 一束欢乐 → 欢喜盛宴 - We have been swindled. 我们被骗了。
swindle 诓骗,骗取 - We have been bilked with damaged goods. 我们货物有问题。
bilk 是诈骗、赖账的意思。 - Look at him, those giant ears weight him down. 那双大耳朵对于他来说太沉了。
- I'm still working out the timing. 我还在花时间(练习)。
- What in gush, you really broke the bank with this. 我天,你为了这个真是大放血了。
- I can salvage something. 我还可以挽回一些损失。
salvage 抢救 - There'll be times when my life seemed locked behind a door. Imagine that door and just turn the key.
- All due respect, I don't got all day. 无意冒犯,我时间真不多。
- He hails from the far east. 他来自遥远的东方。
hail是欢呼、招呼的意思,但hail from是来自的...意思 - What the heck can you tell by appearances, right? 你不能以貌取象,对吧?
heck是惊叹词,代表一种语气,这句应该是What can you tell by appearances?的意思。 - You possess something that's very rare in life. 你拥有世间极其罕见的东西。
- Max, I know your type. Charlatan, con man, opportunist, and I know it comes from a deep desire to build something authentic and true. Max, 我知道你的为人,你是个江湖骗子,欺诈者,机会主义者。我知道这来自于你深深的欲望,创造更真实东西的欲望。
Charlatan 是江湖骗子、吹牛皮的人a person who claims to have knowledge or skills that they do not really have
con man 也是骗子的意思,a man who tricks others into giving him money.
所以,这两个词表示不同种类的骗子。
authentic是true的同义词,是指既true又accurate - You are offering me a partnership? 你想让我和你合作?
- My daughter, she fancies herself the next Marie Curie. 我女儿总幻想自己是下一个居里夫人。
如果说别人fancy他自己... 就有一种讽刺的口吻在里面。 - You know, I've been brushing up on your story, Mr. Farrier. 你知道吗,Farrier先生,我很了解你的经历。
brush up on 是温习的意思,have been brushing up on ... 就是刚刚温习过... , 现在对他十分了解。 - You are back in the saddle. 你要重操旧业了。
saddle是马鞍的意思,back in the saddle 重新回到马背上,便是重整旗鼓,重回正轨,重新掌权的意思。 - On Friday, we premiere our little Dumbo. 星期五,我们的小Dumbo首次亮相。
premiere是首映、首次公演的意思。电影首映 premiere screen debut - I get goose bumps. 我起鸡皮疙瘩了。
老外的鸡皮疙瘩好像是鹅皮上的。 - Let's not forget from whence we came. 不要忘记我们的初衷。
whence是和where差不多的意思 - That's why it's become abundantly clear, why we need you. 这就十分清楚了,我们为什么需要你。
abundantly 可以修饰clear,表示非常非常清楚。 - Nice boot you bagged there. What are they, shark skin? *你靴子很漂亮,鲨鱼皮的吗?
bag做动词有 声称拥有、占有的意思。占座位原来只用bag就好啦!Quick, bag that table over there! * - You'd better keep your elephant friend on my good side. 你最好别让你的象惹我不爽。
- She will handle your schedule, correspondence, and all your calls. 她负责你的日程和所有通讯、电话。
- A millionaire's girlfriend. That's a tough break. 做个富豪的女友,真是走了狗屎运。
