【口语练习】吸血鬼日记台词

张蔓彧

Jeremy: So, you have no idea where the journal is?

Anna: Nope. Gramps died. And all the kids split his stuff. I can ask.

Jeremy: I just find it weird that our ancestors kept the same kind of journal. It's crazy.

Anna: Maybe it's based in some partial reality.

Jeremy: No. It's gotta be a metaphorical. My ancestor wrote short stories.

Anna: So, that's why you're hung up on the fiction of it all.

Jeremy: No, I'm hung up on fiction of it all because I've seen "The Lost Boys" And "Near Dark," like, 50 times.

Anna: Are those movies? Hey. I've never seen them. Maybe we can have a fright night and rent a whole bunch of vampire movies.

Jeremy: Uh, yeah, sure.

Anna: Why does that sound like a no way in hell? Sorry, I'm blunt.

Jeremy: No, it's... I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I just recently got out of something, it's a little too soon, you know?

Anna: Oh please, sure. No worries. I meant as friends. Yeah. Look, I really gotta go. Nice meeting you, Jeremy.

Jeremy: Yeah!



今日学习：Jeremy和Anna讨论吸血鬼是否真实存在的事情。



句型：

1、I just find it weird that our ancestors kept the same kind of journal. It's crazy.  我只是很奇怪我们的祖先干嘛要保留一样的日记呢？很诡异。  （find it weird that 觉得……很奇怪。 只要保持一颗好奇心，这样的句子在生活中是非常实用的。尤其是“十万个为什么”型的人，一定觉得这句话可以作为自己的口头禅。）



2、Maybe it's based in some partial reality.  也许是基于部分事实吧。  （反正感觉在聊天中说出这样的句子，一定很拉风。可以直接背诵，脱口而出。当感觉某些说法或行为有其可取的地方，但并不完全正确的时候，可以很客观地说这么一句。毕竟这世上绝对的事情并不多。）



3、It's gotta be a metaphorical.  应该是有寓意的。  （不管是作文还是说话，中国人的特点还真是意在言外，如果完全按照字面去理解的话，那就没意思了，比如说庄子的寓言。反正主页妞是觉得，只有这样，需要自己去体悟的作品才是好作品，否则谁读出的东西都是一样的就太没意思了。“一千个读者就有一千个哈姆雷特”。发现寓意也是读书的乐趣之一。）



4、I don't want you to get the wrong idea.  我只是不希望你误解。  （get the wrong ideal 误解  在口语中，用一些词组来代替响应的单词，会让口语更出彩，更生动。比如 get the wrong ideal 就比misunderstand 来的更形象。）
