《诺丁山》：一个女孩请求你爱她_影视英语

anna是万众瞩目的大明星，家住毫宅、年薪逾千万，william则是平头百姓。偶然的机会他俩相遇，互生好感。她提出交往，他不敢接受。考虑再三，william还是来找anna,磕磕巴巴、胆战心惊地拒绝了——




william: anna, look, i'm a fairly levelheaded bloke, not often in and out of love. but, can i just say no to your kind request and, leave it at that?



anna: yes.



william: fine. of course, i, of course, i'll just be going, then. it was nice to see you. the thing is, with you i'm in real danger. it seems like a perfect situation, apart from that foul temper of yours, but my relatively inexperienced heart would, i fear, not recover, if i was once again cast aside, as i would absolutely expect to be. there are just too many pictures of you, too many films. you'd go and i'd be, well, buggered, basically. that really is a real no, isn't it? i live in notting hill. you live in beverly hills. everyone in the world knows who you are. my mother has trouble remembering my name.



anna: fine. fine. good decision. good decision. the fame thing isn't really real, you know. and don't forget i'm--i'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
重点讲解



levelheaded指头脑清醒的、头脑冷静的，block原意是就是木料、材料。他说，自己过于理智，是个不容易坠入爱河的人，也没有太多的感情经历（not often in and out of love），能不能简单地对她的提议说不。




接下来william解释了自己的顾虑在哪些方面。和她在一起虽然看起来完满无缺（perfect），但他会冒很大的风险：首先，她的脾气很烂（foul）。apart from，除……之外、且不说……，表示这还远不是主要问题。




cast sb. aside 是个固定搭配，表示把某人抛在一边、抛弃某人。william说，主要的是，如果我再被抛到一边、不闻不问，那么恐怕我那颗脆弱的、阅历不多的（relatively experienced）心是经不起折腾的、是很难再治愈的（not recover），而这几乎是必然（absolutely）要再发生的。这里，expect不是期待的意思，而是指料想、以为。鉴于他俩的天壤之别，william认为，与其迫于现实结束（a real no）不如未曾开始。




对于william的没有自信，anna还能说什么呢？anna只是提醒她，无论她多有名气、多富有，她也只是一个女孩，站在一个男孩面前，请求他爱她。——有些凄凉。
