萬圣節(jié)派對

Dialogue Script 1 對話原文 1
Holly: What a great haunted house idea---the Haunted Woods! Jack did a great job.
Alicia: Yes, I love it! And we have to take a golf cart!
Holly: Kinda spooky, huh? I hope nothing big jumps out at us.
Alicia: I wouldn't count on that. Brian said to expect the unexpected!
Holly: Well, it's definitely dark and creepy in here.
Alicia: Yeah, it's giving me the creeps. I keep seeing things moving out there behind the trees.
Brian: I heard that a prison escapee roams these woods!
Holly: Knock it off, Brian! You're just trying to get us screaming!
Brian: This isn't scary. But I bet you girls will scream if something jumps out!
Alicia: Brian! Something just moved up there in front of us!
Brian: Don't worry, Alicia, I'll protect you.
Holly: Keep your eyes on where you're going!
Brian: Ahh! A werewolf!

講解：
1. Alicia，Holly 和 Brian來到了他們的朋友Jack專門為萬圣節(jié)布置好的鬼森林，就是Haunted Woods. haunted這個詞表示“鬧鬼的，鬼魂出沒的，受到折磨的”，例如：They live in a haunted house. 他們住的房子鬧鬼。這個次經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在恐怖電影里，在萬圣節(jié)當(dāng)然也是必不可少的了。
2. Jack布置的這個鬼森林看起來真的很恐怖，很有節(jié)日氣氛，所以holly夸他He did a great job. 當(dāng)你夸獎別人做的好時，就可以用這個句型，還可以說Good job! 或者You did a good job! Alicia也非常喜歡這個鬼森林，還要坐著高爾夫球車穿越森林。Holly覺得這個鬼森林有點恐怖，她說：Kinda spooky, I hope nothing big jumps out at us. 挺恐怖的吧，我希望沒有什么龐然大物會朝我們跳過來。kinda，口語的說法，就是 kind of，有一點。spooky，幽靈般的, 怪異的, 神經(jīng)質(zhì)的。
3. Alicia可不敢說，I wouldn't count on that. count on something，這個詞組，表示依靠...指望...比如說：You can count on me. 就表示“你可以相信我。” Brian說 to expect the unexpected! 等著看一些意外的事情，the unexpected，意外的事件。下面有出現(xiàn)了一個表示“可怕，恐怖”這個意思的詞，creepy，表示“令人毛骨悚然的”。creep是它的名詞形式，原意是“躡手躡腳”，也可以用來表示可怕，心驚肉跳。比如我們可以說 He gave me the creeps. 他嚇得我心驚肉跳。
4. Alicia覺得很害怕，說她一直看到樹后面有東西跑出來。Brian這時有添油加醋地說聽說有個越獄的人在這片樹林里游蕩。a prison escapee，越獄的犯人，roam，漫無目的地四處游蕩。Holly 被嚇到了，趕忙讓Brian閉嘴，她是這么說的，knock it off! 表示“住口，停下來”。只要有人發(fā)出令人討厭的聲音，說了討厭的話，做了討厭的動作，都可以說knock it off 來讓對方停止。
5. Brian就是想嚇唬嚇唬那兩個女生。這時Alicia看到有東西在他們前面晃來晃去的，up there in front of us，在我們正前方。Brian勸她不要擔(dān)心，說會保護她的。Holly提醒Brian注意看路，keep you eyes on where you're going! keep one's eyes on something/someone，注意，監(jiān)視某人某物。突然什么東西撞到了他們的高爾夫球車上，也嚇了Brian一跳，原來是狼人，也就是werewolf。
