Why didn't they just keep home-schooling you?Mean Girls · 2004 — 第 1 / 10 章 · 2'43" · B2
有人用一張食堂地圖,把全校各路人馬按座位分門別類。地圖上,三個女生被叫作 The Plastics(塑膠姐妹花);一句 queen bee(小團體裡的女王)點出誰是核心,還說某人的頭髮 full of secrets(裝滿秘密)。想用地道英語八卦小圈子裡的紅人,這兩句直接能搬走。
有人用一張食堂地圖,給凱蒂講北岸高中的生態:哪一群人坐哪兒,坐哪兒很關鍵。地圖的重點是三個被叫作 The Plastics(塑膠姐妹花)的女生。講的人說她們是 teen royalty(校園貴族),又拿格雷琴的頭髮開玩笑說 full of secrets(裝滿秘密),並把瑞吉娜叫作 queen bee(小團體裡的女王)。最後一句是警告:Beware of The Plastics(小心塑膠姐妹花)。想用英語形容小圈子裡的紅人、八卦精和話事人,這一場給足了詞。

Why didn't they just keep home-schooling you?去接觸社會、學社交 這裡不是學術意義的“社會化”,而是去學校和同齡人打交道。
They wanted me to get socialized.小美人;身材好的姑娘——熟人玩笑誇外形;不熟或正式場合別用,容易物化。
Oh, you'll get socialized, all right. A little slice like you.在談論某事
- What are you talking about? - You're a regulation hottie.You're a 快說時輕輕滑過,重音留給 regulation。
- What are you talking about? - You're a regulation hottie.上封面
If North Shore was Us Weekly, they would always be on the cover.虛擬條件句:If + 過去式 was 表假設,主句 would be 說結果;這裡拿雜誌封面打比方。
If North Shore was Us Weekly, they would always be on the cover.would 常輕讀,always 和 be 連得緊,別逐詞停頓。
If North Shore was Us Weekly, they would always be on the cover.最笨的女孩之一
She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet.定語從句:you will ever meet 修飾 girls,省略了關係代詞;ever 加強最高階語氣。
She is one of the dumbest girls you will ever meet.知道所有人的私事
Gretchen Wieners knows everybody's business.裝滿秘密 頭髮大被開玩笑說成因為藏滿秘密。
That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets.化成人形 這裡把邪惡說成能變成瑞吉娜的樣子。
And evil takes a human form in Regina George.背後捅刀的——朋友間罵人兩面派;正式場合或當面別用。
Don't be fooled, because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing, slut-faced ho-bag. But in reality, she遠不止那樣
is so much more than that.小跟班 這裡指女王蜂身邊跑腿的跟班。
The star. Those other two are just her little workers.我該怎麼開口解釋
How do I even begin to explain Regina George?為…投保
I hear her hair's insured for $10,000.拍汽車廣告 do commercials 是拍廣告,不是做廣告作業。
I hear she does car commercials. In Japan.辦這場舞會 throw 不是“扔”,是“舉辦”。
Every year, the seniors throw this dance for the underclassmen called The Spring Fling.主語從句:whomsoever 是賓格,這裡硬放主語位置是刻意裝官腔;正常該用 whoever,整個從句作主語,becomes 是謂語。
And whomsoever is elected Spring Fling King and Queen automatically becomes head of the Student Activities Committee.whomsoever 偏長,先抓住 who 開頭再帶過,is 輕輕一帶。
And whomsoever is elected Spring Fling King and Queen automatically becomes head of the Student Activities Committee.活躍成員
And since I am an active member of the Student Activities Committee, I would say, yeah, I care.你的…指南
Here. This map is gonna be your guide to North Shore.主語從句:where you sit 整個從句作主語,is crucial 是謂語;where 不是疑問詞位置。
Now, where you sit in the cafeteria is crucial because you got everybody there.sit in the 快讀時連成一串,先抓 sit 再滑到 the。
Now, where you sit in the cafeteria is crucial because you got everybody there.預科生做派的學生——校園裡說某種穿著做派;不熟別當面貼標籤。
You got your freshmen, ROTC guys, preps, JV jocks, Asian nerds,拼命想擠進圈子的人
girls who eat their feelings, girls who don't eat anything, desperate wannabes, burnouts, sexually active band geeks,混日子的學生——校園裡說混日子的同學;帶貶義,別當面叫。
girls who eat their feelings, girls who don't eat anything, desperate wannabes, burnouts, sexually active band geeks,樂隊書呆子——調侃樂隊成員的書呆子氣;不熟別貼標籤。
girls who eat their feelings, girls who don't eat anything, desperate wannabes, burnouts, sexually active band geeks,Beware of 連起來說,of 只留輕輕一帶。
Beware of The Plastics.If North Shore was Us Weekly, they would always be on the cover.如果北岸高中是《美國週刊》,她們準會永遠上封面。 把校園小團體直接換算成娛樂雜誌封面,一句立住塑膠姐妹的排面。
That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets.所以她的頭髮才那麼大。裡面全是秘密。 把“頭髮大”解釋成“裝滿秘密”,荒誕邏輯一秒變金句。
And evil takes a human form in Regina George.邪惡在瑞吉娜·喬治身上化成了人形。 把“邪惡”擬人化到具體名字上,誇張得理直氣壯。
She's the queen bee.她就是女王蜂。 四個詞就把小團體的權力核心說透,短而狠。
She always looks fierce. She always wins Spring Fling Queen.她總是氣場逼人,也總能拿下春季舞會女王的頭銜。 兩句短句把“常勝女王”的地位說透,fierce 與 wins 撐出節奏。
本意是蜂群裡的蜂后,口語裡指小團體裡說了算的那個女生。這場裡有一句 She's the queen bee. 後面接著說另外兩個只是她的小跟班,說的就是三人組的核心。
可以說 regulation hottie。這裡的 regulation 不是「規定」,而是「完全符合標準」,所以 regulation hottie 就是挑不出毛病的好看。臺詞裡一句 You're a regulation hottie,意思是「你可是標準的辣妹」。
不止是「擁有它」。別人誇你的時候,own it 是讓你大方承認、接住這句誇獎,別急著否認。臺詞裡誇完緊接著一句 Own it,就是「認了吧」。
字面是「裝滿秘密」。有人說某人的頭髮之所以那麼大,是因為 It's full of secrets,這是拿髮量開的玩笑:裡面裝的不是頭髮,是全校的八卦。
臺詞裡用的是 little workers,字面是「小工人、小夥計」。前面剛說完 queen bee,這裡接著說另外兩個只是她的小跟班,借蜂群裡工蜂圍著蜂后的畫面,形容人跟著核心人物跑。
eat their feelings。臺詞列食堂人群時提到 girls who eat their feelings,就是靠吃東西來消化情緒的女生;後面還跟著 girls who don't eat anything,剛好相反。
