精彩對白講解:
1. (Nevertheless you are the princess. And I am the queen Clarisse Renaldi.) 這裏單詞nevertheless 意思是然而,盡管如此,相當於我們常用的however或者是in spite of that。
A: Come on, I just made a small mistake!
B: Yeah, a very tiny, nevertheless fatal mistake. It’ll totally ruin your career.
2. (Since your father died, you are the natural heir to the throne of Geneva.) 這裏我們要學習單詞heir 和 throne,heir是繼承人,Throne 是寶座,王位。
A: Tom is the heir to a massive fortune.
B: He's so lucky.
3. And given time, I think you’ll find the palace in Genovia a very pleasant place to live.) given time的意思就是假定給妳壹些時間,當然在這個例句Do it within the given time. 意思就是在指定時間內完成它。
A: I really want to travel around the world.
B: Given time and money, you'll have a chance to realize your dream.
4.(Rewind and Freeze.)rewind倒帶和freeze結冰或者停止。
5. (I'm still waiting for normal body parts to arrive.) 意思是:我還等著成長發育呢。 waiting for normal body parts to arrive. 等待正常身體部分的到來。1.(I present you with this diary to fill the pages with your special thoughts.) 這裏大家要特別註意動詞present贈送的讀法,要與名詞禮物的發音區別。另外短語fill with的意思是填滿,充滿。 A:our school theatre is presenting 'Romeo and Julia' by Shakespeare next week. B:wow, that’s one of my favorite. Let’s go together. 2.(I pass it onto you as my father passes it onto me) 短語pass on sth to sb意思是傳遞給某人,pass on特別是強調祖祖輩輩這樣的傳下去。我把它傳給妳,就像我的父親傳遞給我壹樣。 3.(Amelia, courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.) 這句話的含義非常好,也是Louis重點推薦的公主日記中的經典句型。 我們來壹起看壹下:courage is not the absence of fear 勇氣並不意味著沒有恐懼,but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. 而是能夠判斷出還有比恐懼更重要的東西。 4.(The brave may not live for ever but the cautious do not live at all.) 這句話也非常經典,咱們先來壹起分析壹下,the brave勇敢的人,may not live forever 可能不會永遠活下去, but the cautious 但是謹小慎微的人,do not live at all是壹點都無法生存下去的,愚勇不可取,但是故步自封則壹點機會都沒有。 A:I’m sorry, father. I didn’t do well in today competition. B:it’s ok, my son. Just remember the brave may not live for ever but the cautious do not live at all.
