看美剧学英语之：《The vampire diaries》精彩场景（八）

本期场景选自《The vampire diaries》S01E08

场景三：

今天是Stefan的不知道100多少岁的生日，Damon想邀请他和Lexi去参加一个聚会，Lexi显得很期待，却不知死神的脚步正向她迈进，虽然Stefan有不好的预感，但是他却没想到这次聚会却葬送了他百年老友的性命。

Lexi：I'm almost ready.

Stefan：Can't believe you actually think that we should go to this thing.

Lexi：It's not like I'm asking you to run outside mid-day without your ring.I mean,seriously, it's a party.

Stefan：A party that Damon wants us to go to, you know.So my question is, "why?" I think he's up to something.

Lexi：Who cares? I mean, what can he possibly do in front of all those people in a public place?

Stefan：He knows how to keep a low profile, believe me.

Lexi：Ok. So he'll behave.come on. One day a year, I get you,one day that you're not brooding and existing in your own head.

Stefan：It's my birthday,yeah?

Lexi：It's my day, and that guy that jumped naked in the Trevi Fountain and got drunk on the torch of the statue of liberty,that guy can take a break from all of his worrying for one night and go to a stupid party.so quit your whining...and go get you ready.

Stefan：Fine.

Lexi：我快准备好了。

Stefan：真不敢相信你真的觉得我们该去。

Lexi：这又不是我们在正午的时候不带戒指出去。说真的，这只是一个派对啊。

Stefan：你要知道，是Damon想让我们去的派对。因此我纳闷的是“为什么”。我觉得他在预谋什么。

Lexi：那又怎样？我是说，在公共场合，在众人面前，他又能做什么？

Stefan：他知道怎么低调做事，相信我。

Lexi：好吧，他会乖乖的。别这样，一年我只要求你一天，是你能尽情方总的一天，而且这些能永存于你脑子里。

Stefan：今天是我过生日，对吧？

Lexi：是我的日子，而那个曾赤裸裸的跳进许愿池里，并且站在自由女神像的火炬上喝的烂醉的男人，他有一晚的时间能从他的烦恼中得以喘息，所以去参加这个愚蠢的聚会吧。不要再发牢骚…好好准备下。

Stefan：那好吧。

本来说不参加派对的Elena最终还是来了，Lexi很想化解她和Stefan的矛盾，因为他知道，Stefan是真心喜欢她。

Lexi：Ah,the famous Elena.

Elena：Towel girl.

Lexi：I've been called worse.

Waitress：Here.

Elena：I didn't know that you guys could drink.

Lexi：Oh,yeah. It helps curb the cravings,but makes for a lot of lushy vamps.

Elena：You know,I've never seen stefan drunk. He always seems so...

Lexi：Uptight?

Elena：Yeah. Yeah.but not with you.

Lexi：Well,that's the benefit of knowing someone for over 100 years.You can just be yourself.

Elena：Yeah,he can't be himself with me.

Lexi：Well,not yet.The first step was him telling you.The rest comes with time.

Elena：You seem so sure.

Lexi：The love of my life was human.He went through what I imagine you're going through...denial,anger, et cetera.But at the end of the day,love really did conquer all.Are you gonna drink that?

Elena：Oh.no,go for it.I'm scared.

Lexi：But you're here...because you're crazy about him.I get it,ok?I mean,what's not to love?Listen.take it from someone who's been around a long time.When it's real, you can't walk away.

Lexi：赫赫有名的Elena。

Elena：浴巾女孩。

Lexi：我有被叫过更糟的。

Waitress：给你。

Elena：我不知道你们吸血鬼还喝酒。

Lexi：对，这对减轻血瘾有帮助，但那也造就了很多烂醉的吸血鬼。

Elena：你知道，我从来没看过Stefan醉过。他看起来总是那么…

Lexi：紧张？

Elena：恩，是的，但和你在一起时就不会。

Lexi：是啊，那就是认识了100年的好处所在。所以他在无拘无束。

Elena：是啊，和我在一起的时候他就不能无拘无束。

Lexi：快了，他都已经迈出第一步告诉你他是吸血鬼了，其他事情就是时间问题了。
