Monalisa Smile 《蒙娜麗莎的微笑》精講之六
影片對白
Mrs. Warren: Elizabeth, I don't see Spencer.
Betty: Excuse me, Mother. Miss Watson, can you help me get in touch with a friend of yours in Greenwich Village?
Mrs. Warren: What do you need in Greenwich Village?
Betty: An apartment. I filed for a divorce this morning. And since we know I'm not welcome at your house. You remember Giselle Levy? What did you call her? A New York kike. That's it. Well, we're going to be roommates.
Giselle: Hi. You ready?
Betty: Yeah.
Katherine: Greenwich Village?
Betty: Yeah. For a while. Then, who knows? Maybe law school. Yale, even.
Katherine: Well, I wouldn't want to come up against you in any court anywhere.
Betty: Maybe I can drop by next year? Keep you on your toes. You will be here? Miss Watson?
Katherine: Dear Betty, I came to Wellesley because I wanted to make a difference. But to change for others...
Betty: to lie to yourself. My teacher Katherine Watson lived by her own definition and would not compromise that, not even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial to an extraordinary woman who lived by example and compelled us all to see the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she'll be sailing to Europe, where I know she'll find new walls to break down, and new ideas to replace them with.
Photographer: Hold it, everybody.
Betty: I've heard her called a quitter for leaving, an aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless. Especially not those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image.
Cab driver: Get the hell out of the way!
Betty: I'll never forget you.
妙詞佳句，活學活用
1 come up against
遭遇，碰到”。這是一個固定片語，影片中的這句臺詞的意思是：我將來可不希望在任何一個法庭上碰到你。我們來看幾個例子：
1) We have come up against an unexpected problem. 我們碰到了一個意想不到的問題。
2) When we come up against difficulties, we should cross a river in the same boat. 遇到困難，我們應該同舟共濟。
2. Keep you on your toes.
使人警覺，準備行動
If you say that someone or something keeps you on your toes, you mean that they cause you to remain alert and ready for anything that might happen.
e.g. His experience in this field has kept all the rivals on their toes. 他在這個領域裡的經驗讓他的'對手們都十分警覺。
Toe 還有一些其它的習語：
Dig one's toe in 堅持自己的立場;堅決不肯讓步
From top to toe 從頭到腳，完完全全
Turn up one's toes / turn one's toes up (俚語)死
3. Compel
強迫;驅使，驅策
這是個常用詞，但是作者在上課的過程中發現這個詞經常成為大部分同學的聽力障礙，換言之，這個詞不是那麼多人熟悉它，所以在這裡把它單拎出來解釋一下。
1) Can they compel obedience from us? 他們能迫使我們聽從命令嗎?
2) I should assign you your share of labor, and compel you to accomplish it. 我要把屬於你的那份勞動分配給你，並且強迫你完成它。
3)He had a presence that inspired and a voice that compelled. 他的神態令人敬畏，他的聲音令人敬從。
