影片對白 Benjamin, I am
getting pretty tired of all this suspicion.
3. to be available to
“可以得到的;可以得手的;隨時為他服務(wù)”。Mrs. Robinson 明確告訴本,他可以隨時與她發(fā)生關(guān)系。
4. I found you're attractive.
“我覺得你真可愛”。這次勾引本雖然沒有成功,但是,看到本驚慌失措,而且并沒有義正言辭地斥責(zé)她,Mrs. Robinson 感到有仍然希望。Find
someone / something... 是一個常用的結(jié)構(gòu),表示認(rèn)為某人或某事如何。后面加形容詞。如:我覺得這本書很有意思:I find the book
interesting. 我覺得這個人很沒勁:I find the person boring.
文化面面觀
To rob the cradle
老少配
在這部電影里,我們可以用一個確切的短語來表示 Mrs. Robinson對本的追求和兩人之間的關(guān)系: To rob the
cradle 或者說Mrs. Robinson robbed the cradle.
這個俚語形容年紀(jì)較大的人追求年紀(jì)相差較大或很年輕的異性,與其談戀愛或結(jié)婚。中文里老夫少妻和老妻少夫說的就是這個意思。但平時也可以當(dāng)作一種夸張的,玩笑的說法。如:A
forth-year boy is dating a freshman girl. He has robbed the
cradle.一個大四的男生與一個一年的女生談戀愛。簡直是老少配嘛。
Mrs. Robinson對本的引誘進(jìn)入了是步步緊逼,不由分說的階段。而本則驚慌失措,倉惶躲閃。可以說是驚心動魄。幾個回合下來,Mrs.
Robinson愈發(fā)成竹在胸,勢在必得。如果不是Mr. Robinson恰好趕回,后果是顯而易見的。
