看美劇學英語 欲望都市的臺詞解析

《欲望都市》中有一個英國美女第一次來到曼哈頓，在一個展會上邂逅了以為年輕帥氣多金的紐約男人。他們彼此一見傾心，很快他們就約會戀愛。

Once upon a time an English journal-ist came to New York. Elizabeth was attractive and bright, and right away she hooked up with one of the city's eligible bachelors. Tim was 42. A well-liked and respected banker, who made about two million a year. They met one evening, in typical New York fashion, at a gallery opening.

語法解析：

1.? Once upon a time， 很久以前 right away 立刻，馬上

2.? Hook up ,勾搭上 be hooked up to 與.接通（配合使用）

3.? eligible adj.有資格的；合格的；具備條件的；（指認為可做夫妻的男女）合意的 n.合適的人

在英國女孩看來他們似乎有邁向婚姻的可能，因為他們已經(jīng)做過一切戀愛男女的事情，彼此分享內心深處的秘密，享受肉體關系。 甚至紐約男人還帶她去看房，約見父母，這在她看來就是要結婚，共度余生的節(jié)湊呀！

For two weeks they snuggled, went to romantic restaurants,had wonderful sex and shared the most intimate secrets. One day, he took her to a house he saw in the New York Times. That day Tim popped the question:

Would you like to meet my folks Tuesday night?

托福語法解析：

1.? snuggled 依偎擁抱; 舒適地蜷伏; 緊靠;

2.? pop a question 提出問題

然而,萬萬沒想到，兩人看完房不久。紐約男人稱母親生病，不便探望，過段時日再說。后來，他再也沒有打過電話來，就這樣，人間失蹤了。

On Tuesday he called with some bad news.

My mother's not feeling very well.

When she hadn't heard from him for two weeks, she called.

He said he was up to his ears and that he'd call the next day

語法解析：

1.? not feeling very well 感覺身體不舒服

2.? hear from? 收到…的來信; 從…聽到;

3.? up to one's ears? 置若罔聞；忙得不得了

她告訴Carrie，在英國，情侶看房是一件很慎重嚴肅的事，她完全不能理解怎么在紐約完全不一樣。Carrie心想大概目前是沒有人告訴她曼哈頓的戀愛法則吧！

I realized no one had told her about the end of love in Manhattan.

“Welcome to the ''age of un-innocence''.

究竟曼哈頓的戀愛究竟有什么不一樣呢？

No one has 'breakfast at Tiffany's', and no one has 'affairs to remember'.Instead, we have breakfast at 7:00am and affairs we try to forget as quickly as possible.

Self-protection and closing the deal are paramount

語法解析：

1.? as quickly as possible: 盡快地

2.? Self-protection：自我保護

3.? close the deal：完成交易；達成協(xié)議；關單

4.? paramount：n.最高；有最高權力的人；元首；首長

adj.至為重要的；首要的；至高無上的；至尊的

學習提升英語的，還可以試試雙語訓練，我覺得還是很有幫助的

1、加強英語的詞匯量和語法方面的知識，這是基礎。

2、多朗誦一些膾炙人口的英文，最好是會背誦，培養(yǎng)語感。

3、聽你喜歡的英語歌曲，還有看歐美電影，保持興趣的同時學到口語。

4、若有機會的話，跟老外多說英語。比如現(xiàn)在的在線英語學習就可以和外教一對一進行學習和試聽。
