《小鬼当家1》：圣诞节的心愿_影视英语

妈妈逼着kevin到三层阁楼去自我反省，毫不顾及他的苦苦哀求，并且责备他为什么总是制造麻烦，说整晚都不要再见到他了；kevin一时之间说了气话，要圣诞老人把所有人都变没：显而易见，一大一小两个人都气得鼓鼓的，谁也不肯退让——




mom: there are fifteen people in this house and you're the only one who has to make trouble.
　　kevin: i'm the only one who is really getting dumped on.
　　mom: you are the only one acting up. now get upstairs.
　　kevin: i am upstairs, dummy! the third floor?
　　mom: go.
　　kevin: it's scary up there.
　　mom: don't be silly, fuller will be in for a while.
　　kevin: i don't want to sleep with fuller. you know about him. he wets the bed. he'll pee all over me. i know it.
　　mom: fine, we'll put him somewhere else.
　　kevin: i'm sorry.
　　mom: it's too late. get upstairs.
　　kevin: everyone in this family hates me!
　　mom: then maybe you should ask santa for a new family.
　　kevin: i don't want a new family. i don't want any family. families suck!
　　mom: just stay up there. i don't want to see you again for the rest of the night.
　　kevin: i don't want to see you for the rest of my whole life. i don't want to see anybody else either.
　　mom: i hope you don't mean that. you'd feel pretty sad if you woke up tomorrow morning and you didn't have a family.
　　kevin: no, i wouldn't.
　　mom: then say it again. maybe it'll happen.




kevin: i hope i never see any of you jerks again!
重点讲解




妈妈说kevin是一家十五口中唯一的一个不断制造麻烦的人。kevin反驳说，他才是最大的受害者，是所有人的出气筒（get dumped on）。dump原意是倾倒、倾泻（垃圾等）；get on作为一个词组，意思是与别人相处；get on加上一个过去分词的状语dumped，就可以直接翻译成作别人的出气筒。




下面，妈妈说kevin是最淘气的那个，act up，淘气、调皮。kevin用了一个表示吃惊的词dummy（假的，虚构的），相当于really (真的假的？)，表示他不想去。scar原意是疤痕、伤痕，scary就表示可怕的、令人害怕的。




妈妈安慰他，说fuller一会儿会在那儿。kevin更不满意了，他说fuller尿床（wet the bed），会尿他一身（pee over him）。




kevin觉得家里的每一个人都恨他，妈妈逗他，让他祈祷圣诞老人（santa）给他一个新的家。ask for是一个词组，表示请求某人做某事。这下kevin真的伤心了，他赌气地说，不想要家，不想再见到妈妈，不想见到家里的每一个人。——于是，当第二天一早醒来（wake up），他的愿望阴错阳差地实现了的时候，电影的故事就开始了……
