看電影學英語 每日一劇:"marbles rolling around upstairs"

摩根佛里曼,不論在哪部電影,他的英語不僅高級而且活潑。肖申克的救贖(刺激1995),他的旁白(Voice-over),可說是經典

第十三幕,Zihuatanejo(芝華塔尼荷),安迪決定要逃獄(Prison Break),臨行前一天,安迪問瑞德,有沒有想過哪天可以離開鯊堡監獄

瑞德(摩根佛里曼)說了一句很逗趣的話:

"那得等到哪天我的鬍鬚又長又白,two or three marbles rolling around upstairs,他們才會放我出去"

marbles?

upstairs?

電影沒有翻譯

marbles(彈珠),英文俚語

= mind(頭腦)

She lost her all marbles.

= She was out of her mind.

= 她瘋了

two or three marbles rolling around

正常人腦袋裡滿滿的彈珠,但摩根佛里曼只剩下兩三顆滾來滾去(rolling around),變派大星了

upstairs何意?

upstairs,上面,也就是頭部

相對,downstairs,下面,也就是OOXX

I』m going downstairs. (翻譯不雅,參見美國派II)

【影片中英對照】

ANDY: Think you』ll ever get out of here?

你有想過哪天會離開這裡嗎?

RED: One day, when I got a long, white beard, and two or three marbles rolling around upstairs, they』ll let me out.

要等哪天鬍鬚又白又長,腦袋瓜里剩下兩三顆彈珠滾來滾去,他們才會讓我出去

ANDY: I tell you where I『d go. Zihuatanejo.

我出獄後有地方去,芝華塔尼荷

RED: Say what?

你說什麼?

ANDY: Zihuatanejo.Its in Mexico. A little place on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? They say it has no memory. Thats where I want to live

the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel, right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up new. Take my guests out charter fishing.

芝華塔尼荷,在墨西哥,太平洋邊的小地方,墨西哥人怎樣說太平洋?沒有回憶的海洋,我要在那杜此餘生,沒有回憶的溫暖地,在海邊開個小旅館,買條破船整修一新,載客出海,包船海釣
