Bridget: Another year, a brand new diary. Once again I was summoned, kicking and screaming, to my mother's turkey curry buffet, where I've had some of the most shaming experiences of my life.
Mother: Hello, darling. Lovely to see you.
Bridget: It was, as usual, crammed full with some of the most dangerous perverts in the UK, disguised as close, personal friends of my parents.
Una: Hello, Bridget.
Bridget: Hello, Una. Oh, no, thanks.
Una: Love thejumper.
Geoffrey: I prefer what's underneath it.
Bridget: Uncle Geoffrey!
Geoffrey: Hello, gorgeous.
Bridget: Hello.
Dad: Hello, darling.
Bridget: Hello, Dad. How's it going?
Dad: I wish I was dead.
Bridget: But this year, there was one crucial difference. Nice jumper.
Mark: My mother's taste neverfalters.
Bridget: Never. You always wonder how it's going to work out at the end of the story. Maria and Captain Von Trapp, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mark Darcy and Bridget Jones. I've found my happy ending at last. Andnothing in the world can spoil it. Well, almost nothing.
Richard: Bridget Jones, what the fuck are you doing?
Bridget: I, I can't see anywhere soft to land.
Richard: How about on your ass? Bridget, unless you want toget sackedat 6,000 feet, you will be on your way in exactly three seconds. Three, two, one... cue Bridget.
Bridget: Skydiving, a dangerous bane to the countryside and emergency services, or a safe and exhilarating hobby? Well... Let's see, shall we?
Richard: Go. Jump. For Christ's sakes, go! Ok. She's out. Unit Two, you got her?
Man: OK, we see her.
Richard: Bridget, open the chute. Open it. Open your fucking parachute! Pull the thingy or you will die!
Bridget: Oh. Honestly, you forget just one teeny, weeny detail and everyone treats you like an idiot.
Bridget: Where was I? Oh, yes... Mark Darcy. The question is: what happens after you walk off into the sunset?
Richard: Bridget? Earth to Bridget Sodding Jones. Bridget,you're on. You're live.
Bridget: Well, this is Bridget Jones for Sit Up Britain, reporting to you from a big vat of excrement.
Richard: Unit two, give me a close-up of the porker.
妙詞佳句,活學活用
1.jumper
jumper在特定的場合有著特定的意思。
A:跳躍者
He's a great jumper. 意思就是他跳得很高。在英文中這樣的用法很多,在動詞后面加上er代表一定的特征。舉個很簡單的例子,在《畢業生》這部電影中,Ben曾經說過這樣一句話:He certainly is a good walker。意思就是說這人走的很快。
falter的意思有很多,而且基本每個意思都是常用的。比如:
A: 支支吾吾、顫抖地講
如:Her voice began to falter as she talked about her miserable past.
B:never falter 從來不會很差
這是在本片中的用法。My mother's taste never falters. 意思就是“我媽是個相當有品味的人”。也可說 His reputation never falters. 大家可以用不同的詞來替換,關鍵是要把它變成自己的語言。
