电影公司上门,想借唐顿庄园拍一个月外景,有人嫌戏子会糟蹋宅子,有人劝:能换个新屋顶呢。怕人说闲话,一句 The county takes a dim view of everything.(郡里对什么都看不顺眼),劝人别被吓住,又能用 let that stop you(让这事拦住你)。想学怎么表达「不看好、不以为然」,这几句正合适。
一位电影人上门,想借唐顿庄园拍一个月外景,还留下一张名片谈价钱。他举阿贝尔·冈斯的《拿破仑》说明 on location(实地拍摄)能拍出真房子、真风景。家族内部却分成两派:有人觉得让演员进宅子是天大的馊主意,担心 the locals take a dim view(当地人可能不看好),还得天天数银勺;也有人劝接,理由是能先换个新屋顶,别让闲话 let that stop you(拦住你)。想练怎么谈判、怎么表达赞成与反对,这些话都很实用。

局限于;被限制在
Until recently, filmmaking was largely confined to the studios, but now the process has opened up.打开;放开;变得开放
Until recently, filmmaking was largely confined to the studios, but now the process has opened up.被动语态:was 加过去分词构成被动,主语是动作的承受者而不是发出者。这里说电影制作长期被关在摄影棚里,用被动淡化了施动者,强调行业受困于旧模式这一状态。
Until recently, filmmaking was largely confined to the studios, but now the process has opened up.实地拍摄;在外景地
制片人解释为什么新片要离开摄影棚,到真实宅邸和风景里拍摄。
Abel Gance's Napoléon last year showed what a camera can do on location, filming in real houses, real landscapes.哪一种;什么样的

The Gambleris set in 1875.爱上某人
Uh, an earl's daughter, Lady Anne Erskine, falls in love with a man who turns out to be a gambler, to her family's horror. I can imagine.结果是;原来是
Uh, an earl's daughter, Lady Anne Erskine, falls in love with a man who turns out to be a gambler, to her family's horror. I can imagine.who 引导定语从句:who 从句修饰前面的男人,补充说明他后来被证实的身份。把恋爱对象和赌徒两重身份塞进同一句,剧情的翻转就藏在这个从句里。
Uh, an earl's daughter, Lady Anne Erskine, falls in love with a man who turns out to be a gambler, to her family's horror. I can imagine.turns 结尾的 s 与 out 连读,out 的 t 又和 to 相接,整串像 turn-sou-tə-be。
Uh, an earl's daughter, Lady Anne Erskine, falls in love with a man who turns out to be a gambler, to her family's horror. I can imagine.迅速失控;一发不可收拾
制片人向庄园主人介绍新片剧情,说男女主角相遇后事情很快失控。

They meet at a house party in the country, and things soon spin out of control.把某人累垮;要了某人的命;彻底压垮
一家人讨论剧组要在庄园里搭一个赌场俱乐部,有人半开玩笑地说,这事会把老祖母彻底惊倒。

We must have time to think. Of course.有任何疑问
Mm-hmm. Ring me if you have any questions at all.某事的答案
I suppose there are two questions that we would need the answer to before we can really have the discussion.that 引导定语从句:that 从句限定是哪一些问题,说明真正谈合作之前必须先弄清的条件。用定语从句把问题具体化,比单独再起一句更紧凑。
I suppose there are two questions that we would need the answer to before we can really have the discussion.起点;起始价
And that's the starting point?plastered 的 ed 不单独出声,挤成短促的 d 滑向 in,连作 plaster-in-makeup。
Actresses plastered in makeup and actors just plastered, scrambling over our things.烂醉如泥的——英式口语,形容人喝得大醉,带调侃或嫌弃。可对同辈朋友说,不宜对长辈或正式场合使用。
Actresses plastered in makeup and actors just plastered, scrambling over our things.不赞成;不看好
主人们讨论剧组进驻唐顿,担心乡里人看不惯,于是用上这个说法。
The locals might take a dim view.让某事拦住某人
Well, you mustn't let that stop you.let 的使役用法:let 后面接宾语再加动词原形,表示让某事发生或阻止某事发生。这里用否定形式劝对方别让顾虑挡住行动,语气轻却劝得动。
Well, you mustn't let that stop you.首先;起码
You could have a new roof, for a start.面临;要面对
You could soon be looking at real flooding, and then what?你是什么立场
Mama, where do you stand?Until recently, filmmaking was largely confined to the studios, but now the process has opened up.直到最近,拍电影大多还困在棚里,但现在流程已经放开了。 用 confined 和 opened up 一组对比,把电影工业的一次转身压缩成一句话,判断式的口吻里带着对时代变化的笃定。
Actresses plastered in makeup and actors just plastered, scrambling over our things.女演员脸上糊满油彩,男演员干脆喝得烂醉,在我们的东西上爬来爬去。 用 plastered 一词两义做文章:女演员是糊满油彩,男演员是烂醉如泥,再配上 scrambling over our things,把主人的嫌恶写得刻薄又好笑。
The county takes a dim view of everything.郡里的人对什么都看不顺眼。 把 take a dim view 这个客气短语推成 everything,客气一下子垮成讽刺,既点出乡间的保守,也透出说话人看透世故的口气。
Well, you mustn't let that stop you.哎,你可别让这个拦住你。 一句轻描淡写的劝阻,把别人的顾虑挡了回去,mustn't let that stop you 既承认障碍存在,又劝人别当回事,分寸拿捏得恰到好处。
「不赞成;不看好」。有人担心 locals might take a dim view,就是「当地人可能会看不顺眼」;后面又补一句 The county takes a dim view of everything.,说郡里对什么都看不上眼。
on location。指离开摄影棚,到真实地点拍外景。台词里举《拿破仑》为例,说它 showed what a camera can do on location,就是证明了实景拍摄能拍出什么。
字面是「转出控制」,即「迅速失控、一发不可收拾」。他们这样形容《赌徒》的剧情:男女主角相识后 things soon spin out of control,事情很快失去控制。
「把某人累垮、彻底压垮」。有人说在唐顿开赌场 That would finish Granny off.,意思就是「那准把奶奶气垮」,off 带着「了结、干掉」的味道。
Where do you stand?。stand 在这里不是「站」,而是「持什么态度」。有人问 Mama, where do you stand?,就是问妈妈「你到底赞成还是反对」。
