接着昨天的博文，继续看美剧场景，学地道英语。
看美剧学英语之：《The vampire diaries》精彩场景（二） 场景四： Jeremy：You ok? Elena：Is Vicki in there? Jeremy：Don't answer a question with another question. Elena：Maybe. Jeremy：What's wrong with you? Elena：I'm miserable. Jeremy：Well, you should go get something to eat. Jeremy：你还好吗？ Elena：Vicki还在你的房间？ Jeremy：不要用问题回答问题。或许吧，你怎么了？ Elena：我感觉不舒服。 Jeremy：好吧，你应该去吃点东西。 Don't answer a question with another question.不要用问题来回答问题。很有意思的表达，另外转移话题还可以用change the subject表达。 miserable有痛苦，不幸的意思，在口语中还表示身体不舒服。 场景五： Elena：Stefan? What are you doing here? Stefan：Dinner.Jeremy told me that chicken parmesan is one of your favorites,and I happen to be a good cook.The Italian roots demand it.I can even make my own homemade mozzarella.Only tonight, it is unfortunately store bought.Sorry. Elena：I don't know what you're trying to accomplish. Stefan：You want to know me, right? Well, I figure if you're going to dump me,You should at least, um, know who you're dumping.So let's start with Katherine. Elena：Stefan... Stefan：She was... the most beautiful girl that I had ever met.She had this perfect olive skin.And she had this laugh.It was ridiculous.I mean, her laugh made you laugh.And she was fun.She knew how to have a good time.But Katherine was also very impatient and entitled and selfish, and, um, and impulsive.Enter Damon.He claims that he was with her first.I don't know. I do know that I did some thingsthat... I'm not proud of.And my biggest regret...is not being able to make it right before she died.I miss her, but...I'm no longer crippled by her loss. Elena：Stefan?你在这里干嘛？ Stefan：昨晚饭。Jeremy告诉我你最喜欢吃帕尔马烤鸡，我刚好是很棒的厨师，源自我的意大利血统。我还可以自制干酪，但今晚，只能用超市买的，抱歉。 Elena：我真不知道你现在想干嘛？ Stefan：你不是想了解我吗，对吧？我觉得如果你要把我甩了，最少你要知道你甩的是个什么样的人吧？所以，我们从Katherine说起。 Elena：Stefan... Stefan：她是...我遇见过的最漂亮的女孩。她有着完美的橄榄色肌肤。还有她的笑非常的夸张。我的意思是，她的笑也能让你笑。她很风趣，她知道如何去享受生活。但是Katherine也很缺乏耐心，有很强的控制欲，自私还很冲动。说说Damon，他说她是他的初恋，我不确定。我只知道我当时我...耍了阴招。而我最大的遗憾就是...没能在她死之前弥补一切。我想她...但是我不再因为她的离开而一蹶不振。 I happen to be a good cook我正好是一个很棒的厨师。happen to be碰巧是，恰巧是 the Italian roots 意大利血统 Only tonight, it is unfortunately store bought只是今晚，我们只能用商店买的。这句话很简洁，比说bought from store要来的更地道。 I figure if you're going to dump me,You should at least, um, know who you're dumping我觉得如果你要把我耍了，最少你要知道你甩的是个什么样的人吧？很诙谐的一句话，figure在这里是认为，觉得的意思。 I'm no longer crippled by her loss.我不再因为她的离开而一蹶不振。no longer不再，cripple削弱；使跛；使残废。很形象的一句表达。 除了这些，这个场景中Stefan对Katherine和Damon的描述那一段也经典 场景六： Elena：That'll be $20.I saw you last night.You were talking to a friend of mine,at the Grill? The old man：Well, I... I thought it was somebody I knew. Elena：Stefan Salvatore？ The old man：Nah, it can't be. It's just my mind playing tricks on me. Elena：Where do you think you'd seen him before? The old man：When I first moved here,I stayed at the Salvatore boarding house.Oh.Stefan was just passing through to visit his uncle. Elena：I mean, none of us knew he was even here until the attack. Elena：The attack? The old man：His uncle got killed.Mauled by an animal in the woods. Elena：His uncle, Zach? The old man：Mm-mmm. Joseph. Elena：I'm sorry, sir.I don't think I'm familiar with the story. The old man：Oh, how could you?I mean, this happened years ago. A lady：Grandpa, you gotta go. Mom wants you home.Ok? The old man：Ah. A lady：He wasn't bugging you, was he? He's a little alzy-heimer. Elena：No, he was sweet.Hey, sir,I'm sorry. Um, are you sure that the man that you saw,that you knew, his name was Stefan Salvatore? The old man：Yes.I remember his ring and his brother... Elena：Damon? The old man：Yeah.Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Elena：When was this? The old man：It was early June, Elena：1953. The old man：Yeah.June, 1953. Elena：总共20美元。我昨晚见过你。你昨晚在格尔酒吧和我朋友说话？ The old man：我原以为他是我认识的一个人。 Elena：Stefan Salvatore？ The old man：不，那不可能。只是我头脑发晕弄错了。 Elena：你觉得以前在哪里见过他？ The old man：是我第一次搬来这里的时候，我住在塞尔瓦托寄宿公寓里。Stefan当时是来看望他的叔叔。 Elena：我的意思是，要不是那次袭击事件，我们甚至都不会知道他在这。 Elena：袭击事件？ The old man：他的叔叔死了，被森林里的野兽咬死了。 Elena：他的叔叔，Zach？ The old man：不是. 是Joseph. Elena：对不起，先生，我想我没听过这段故事。 The old man：Oh, 你怎么能听过？我的意思是，这是很多年前的事情了。 A lady：爷爷，你得走了，妈妈喊你回家，好吗？ The old man：好吧。 A lady：他没有烦你吧？他有点老年痴呆。 Elena：没有，他很和蔼。（走向要离开的老头）先生，对不起。你确定你见过的那个人叫Stefan Salvatore嘛？ The old man：是的，我记得他的戒指和他的哥哥。 Elena：Damon? The old man：是的.Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Elena：那是什么时候的事？ The old man：那是1953年的6月初，对，是1953年6月。 nah在口语中可以表示now，也有no的意思。 play tricks on欺骗，捉弄的意思。 the Salvatore boarding house塞尔瓦托寄宿公寓。boarding house表示寄宿处，公寓的意思。the Salvatore 这个表达在吸血鬼日记里有很多，里面的四个家族，都是用the+其姓表示。 passing through 穿越，路过。 get killed被杀，昨天的博文里也有类似表达，例如got held up，可见get的用法还是很形象的 mauled被伤害，被殴打，在美国英语里还表示](用大槌和楔)劈开，可以想象死的肯定很惨。 He wasn't bugging you, was he?（俚语）他没有烦你吧？bug有臭虫，故障，窃听器的意思，也有烦扰，打扰的意思。 alzy-heimer老年痴呆。正式的说法应该是Alzheimer's disease
