The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOn what may be their last night as frogs, Naveen surprises Tiana with a carefully prepared dinner. His attempt to sound casual quickly turns into a confession: her discipline has changed him, and he can suddenly picture the restaurant she has dreamed of with her father. As he imagines music, guests, and tomorrow’s deadline, a playful conversation becomes an earnest promise.

“I promise I will do whatever it takes to make it come true.”
我保证,我会不惜一切让它成真。
把情感承诺落到行动上,whatever it takes 很有决心。
I will do whatever it takes to...
向别人保证自己会付出一切必要努力时使用。
I'll do anything to make it happen. / I'll do whatever it takes to help.
neutral
promise 和 takes 重读,to make it 弱读连起来。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageYou have had quite an influence on me, which is amazing because I have dated thousands of women and... No, like two, three, just other women. And anyway, listen. You could not be more different, you know? You are practically one of the guys. No, no, no. You are not a guy. Let me begin again. I'm not myself tonight. Tiana! Sorry, that was loud.
你对我的影响可真大, 这真不可思议,因为我约过成千上万个女人,而且…… 不,其实就两三个,别的女人而已。总之,听我说。 你和她们简直天差地别,知道吗? 你简直就是哥们中的一员。 不,不,不。你不是男的。让我重新说一遍。 我今晚有点不像自己。蒂安娜!抱歉,我刚才声音太大了。
