影片對白


Preston: Oh, hogwash!

Garfield: Huh?

Preston: I tell you, this cat is mocking us at every turn.

Winston: Preston, calm yourself. We're only doing what is best for everybody.

Preston: How much longer must we sustain this charade? I can't believe this cat is so stupid as to think he's actually royalty.

Winston: Well, he does, and house cat or not, we need him.

Garfield: Wha...? House cat?

Winston: Just have a little patience.

Preston: Patience? Ha! Admit it, Winston. This buffoon couldn't groom the paws of a real king.

Garfield: Buffoon?!  

Garfield: Golly, this is without a doubt my all-time crummiest moment. Huh? Jon. Man, I've been such a stupid, selfish cat. I've lost my friend. I've got to find him.

Guide: The original medieval kitchen has stood on this site since 1485...

Dargis: Yes, yes, it's big. It's old and it's musty.

Guide: Uh, Lord Dargis, uh, please meet the tour group from the Royal Animal Conservancy.

Dargis: Oh! By all means, save the little darlings. That's my motto. Big fan of Free Willy, Born Free, all the free movies. Bravo! Now off you go.

Guide: If you come this way, we'll visit some of the underground passages, one of which...

Dargis: Hello. Welcome to Carlyle Castle, my dear.

Liz: Thank you. It's, it's beautiful.

Dargis: Well, that makes two of you. Did I mention how much I abhor fox hunting? Unless, of course, in self-defense.

Liz: Bye.

Dargis: If I may... Uh, one question, uh...?

Liz: Liz.

Dargis: Ah, the same as our own dear queen. Cordial? One question, Liz.

Garfield: Liz?

Dargis: What would you say if I were to donate one of my priceless oil paintings to your conservancy?

Liz: Um... Thank you?

Dargis: Mm! But how would you say it?

Garfield: That royal sleaze is hitting on Liz.

Dargis: Perhaps you would consider dining with me at the castle tonight?

Garfield: Nobody hits on my best friend's girlfriend... and succeeds.






妙語佳句，活學活用

1. at every turn

意思是「Everywhere; also, continually, at every moment」，例如：
We met with kindness at every turn. 我們總能遇到好人。
Life holds surprises at every turn. 生活總是充滿驚奇的事情。

「Turn」在這裡並不是指方向的改變，而是指事件的改變，這個片語通常都表示誇大的意味。

2. Bravo
這是個西班牙語，表示讚許，例如：The girl dances very well. The audience shouts: Bravo!

3. that makes two of you

意思就是「something is... and so are you」，在這個片段里的意思就是：The castle is beautiful and you're beautiful, too.

That makes two of 後面的you還可以換成us，表示「I agree, me too我也是這麼認為的」，例如：
---I'm sure it's going to rain.--That makes two of us.
這個you還可以換成them，表示「他們也是……」。

4. hit on

俚語，意思是「to make persistent sexual advances to someone, especially unwanted ones，騷擾，勾引」，例如：You can't go into that bar without being hit on.

Hit on 還有一個意思是「（碰巧）發現」，例如：I've hit upon a solution to this problem.
