《变脸》:牙很疼,但你还是吻了我_影视英语

 警官肖恩(sean)为了换取情报,勉强同意了上司的建议,秘密地做了变脸手术,冒充匪徒首领,进入监狱接近知情人。真正的匪首却在医院意外醒来,杀死了所有知道此事的警官和医生,冒充肖恩坐镇警局。肖恩越狱之后找到自己的妻子,告诉她真相。妻子依芙(eve)也不相信他,肖恩无奈之下,回忆起他们一次约会的情景,昔日甜蜜的爱情场景竟成了今天验明正身的关键——

 s: i was hoping you'd come here. thank you for trusting me.
  e: right now i don't trust anyone.
  s: eve, where'd you get that gun?
  e: i took it from my fake husband.
  s: put it down. you know i'm sean.
  e: do i? maybe sean's already dead, huh?
  s: i'm moving very slowly.
... i was thinking the other day, i remember. i once took a date out, for surf and turf, not knowing she was vegetarian. so she ate bread. and, uh, and broke her tooth on a rye seed. and we, we drove around all night, looking for a all-night dentist. and he, he was drunk. he fixed the wrong tooth. and it, when i finally brought her home, even though it must have hurt like hell, you kissed me.

重点讲解

 夜晚,依芙偷偷跑到医院化验她假丈夫的血型,想验证肖恩是否说的是真话。因为做了变脸手术的人虽然能够改变声音,但是不会改变血型。当结果刚刚出来的时候,肖恩出现在化验室的门口,他说,谢谢依芙肯相信他。面对仍然将信将疑的妻子,肖恩流着眼泪开始讲述那次难忘的约会经历。

 他说,想起那次出去约会,去吃牛排,但不知道那个女孩是个素食者。名词date,约会,surf and turf这里指一种牛排套餐。素食者、食草动物都用名词vegetarian。

 肖恩接着说,所以她只能吃面包,结果被里面夹的黑麦粒(rye seed)咯坏了牙(break tooth)。他们不得不整夜开车去找牙医(dentist),而且是上夜班的牙医。这里要注意这个表达,上夜班的、夜里也营业的:all-night。

 倒霉的是,好不容易找到了牙医,却是个酒鬼医生,迷迷糊糊中补错了牙(补牙,fix the tooth)。最终他们一起回到家的时候,肖恩半是幸福半是辛酸地说,虽然牙疼得见鬼,你还是吻了我。
