í)總能做到天衣無(wú)縫，不允許出一點(diǎn)兒差錯(cuò)，甚至連老天爺也要對(duì)他們敬讓三分，采取合作的態(tài)度。這一原則在本片之后的情節(jié)發(fā)展中得到了很好的印證。大家今后在需要闡述自己的觀點(diǎn)時(shí)，應(yīng)該注意采取類(lèi)似的方法，少用華而不實(shí)的大詞、難詞，盡量用小詞達(dá)意，simplebutelegant（簡(jiǎn)潔不失優(yōu)雅）才是表達(dá)的最高境界。多通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)或者事實(shí)說(shuō)話，由聽(tīng)者（讀者）自己得出結(jié)論。下面的例句也是用事實(shí)說(shuō)話的典范：HegraduatedfromYaleatnineteen,andtookhismotherandcompanyforarideonthefiber-optichighway.長(zhǎng)子Linus是一個(gè)天才，精明的商人和工作狂，“他十九歲就從耶魯畢業(yè)，然后帶著他的母親和家族企業(yè)走上了飛速發(fā)展的道路”（意味著以驚人的速度獲得了長(zhǎng)足的發(fā)展），由此，Linus在讀書(shū)和做生意方面的超人才能盡在不言中了。Hewasinandoutofmanyschoolsandevenmorerelationships.次子David是以一個(gè)游手好閑的花花公子的面目出現(xiàn)在觀眾面前的，他做事情總是半途而廢，因此“他從若干學(xué)校肄業(yè)，和無(wú)數(shù)的女孩有染”。在本段電影里，類(lèi)似的例子隨手可得，在介紹母子三人的不同影響力時(shí)，是分別這樣說(shuō)的：MaudewasonthecoverofFortune.Maude曾經(jīng)是《財(cái)富》的封面人物。LinuswasonthecoverofTime.Linus曾做過(guò)《時(shí)代》的封面人物。DaviddidaGAPAd.David給GAP這一服裝品牌做過(guò)廣告。母親和長(zhǎng)子在財(cái)經(jīng)界、商界的非凡影響力不言而喻，而次子風(fēng)流倜儻的花花公子形象也躍然紙上。2、It’sOK,mother.Ihadaponyride,andIgotmyfacepainted.得了，媽媽。我已經(jīng)騎過(guò)了小馬，并且也涂過(guò)了花臉。大家在觀賞過(guò)一定數(shù)量的美國(guó)電影之后，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)素以直率聞名的美國(guó)人在言談中極少直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f(shuō)“no”，而總是比較委婉地表達(dá)，即使被拒，也不至于顯得過(guò)于生硬。面對(duì)母親要求他看焰火表演的挽留，Linus沒(méi)有直言自己公務(wù)纏身而必須離開(kāi)，只是告訴老媽，自己已經(jīng)盡興了（大家會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)事實(shí)上Linus在晚會(huì)上只忙于自己的生意）。至于騎小馬，涂花臉這些游戲，僅是孩子們狂歡時(shí)的保留項(xiàng)目，Linus只是敷衍母親自己該玩兒的都玩兒了，現(xiàn)在離開(kāi)沒(méi)什么可遺憾的。3、Itorturedher.Nowshetorturesyou.Succeed?You’llgetsomeoneofyourowntotorture.我曾折磨過(guò)她,現(xiàn)在她又來(lái)折磨你,有朝一日你成功了，也就有資格去折磨別人了。這句話是對(duì)我們所熟悉的“吃得苦中苦，方為人上人”的古訓(xùn)的很好的英文版本。老外們（本文出自法國(guó)人之口）也相信萬(wàn)事開(kāi)頭難，面對(duì)氣餒的Sabrina，惟有勸她面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，忍受被折磨的痛苦。人們到了一個(gè)新環(huán)境，只有在被上級(jí)和同事折磨的時(shí)候，才能真正地認(rèn)識(shí)到自己的不足和差距，看清別人折磨你的資本，并努力地縮小這種差距。一般來(lái)講，大多數(shù)人的奮斗歷程，都是先在別人手下忍辱負(fù)重，而后厚積薄發(fā)的從奴隸到將軍的過(guò)程。這個(gè)世界的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)原本就殘酷無(wú)情，人類(lèi)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)法則就是勝者為王，逆水行舟，不進(jìn)則退。4、Sabrina,you’rebeingmuchtoohardonyourself.Giveitachance.Sabrina，你對(duì)自己也太苛刻了。給自己一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)吧!學(xué)會(huì)鼓勵(lì)別人，也是大家在接觸歐美文化時(shí)應(yīng)注意掌握的一項(xiàng)交流技巧，在這部電影中我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)很多類(lèi)似的細(xì)節(jié)。美國(guó)人相信的是，要善待自己，善待生活，困難只是一時(shí)的，不要輕言放棄，否則將難成大器。當(dāng)女兒在異國(guó)他鄉(xiāng)受挫的時(shí)候，最需要的是親人的鼓勵(lì)，因此Mr.Fairchild勸女兒不要對(duì)自己要求過(guò)高，做事情要有耐心和恒心，即使在最艱難的時(shí)刻都不要放棄，要積極樂(lè)觀地尋求解決問(wèn)題的方法，甚至干脆暫且將煩惱擱置一邊，“l(fā)etitbe”，由它去吧，但是一定要給自己充裕的時(shí)間和機(jī)會(huì)，“giveitachance”，別著急，慢慢來(lái)，這里面是不是也包含了大多數(shù)成功者共同的生活哲學(xué)呢？5、ButwhenIfirstcometothiscountry,Iamalone,likeSabrina.Ijustweighmore.SoIaskedtoGod,‘WhyIamhere?’Isay‘whyGod?’Butthereisnoanswer,soIstopcrying.Ittakeselevenyears.我剛來(lái)的時(shí)候，也象現(xiàn)在的Sabrina一樣，是一個(gè)人，我只是比她要重得多。我問(wèn)上帝，“我干嘛要到這里來(lái)？”我說(shuō)，“為什么呀，上帝？”可是沒(méi)有人給我答案。我終于停止了哭泣，竟然整整用了十一年的時(shí)間。Rosa的英語(yǔ)盡管不標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，充斥著用詞、時(shí)態(tài)和句法的錯(cuò)誤，語(yǔ)調(diào)里也帶有濃重的西班牙語(yǔ)口音，但在這里，她卻用寥廖數(shù)語(yǔ)將美國(guó)第一代移民的艱辛奮斗史刻畫(huà)地十分動(dòng)人。人在痛苦無(wú)助時(shí)，尤其在自己最迷茫的階段，往往求助于神靈的幫助，希望上帝或者佛祖或者菩薩給自己一個(gè)答復(fù)，為什么自己需要這樣苦苦求索，萬(wàn)能的上帝也無(wú)法為絕望中的人指點(diǎn)迷津，所謂叫天天不應(yīng)，叫地地不答。也許這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案只有自己知道，因?yàn)槊\(yùn)掌握在每個(gè)人自己的手里，“Godhelpsthosewhohelpthemselves.”自助者天助才是真理，但真正地得道者卻是經(jīng)過(guò)了生活的磨礪后才最終參透的。Rosa是幸運(yùn)的，用了十一年的時(shí)間終于停止了哭泣，融入到美國(guó)文化的熔爐當(dāng)中，又有多少人最終也不能為這種文化所接受，而始終徘徊在美國(guó)的主流之外？這段話當(dāng)中，以Rosa為代表的美國(guó)第一代移民所忍受的精神上的折磨和生活的艱辛，全部通過(guò)一句“Isay‘whyGod？’Butthereisnoanswer”表達(dá)了出來(lái)。第二單元IMetMyselfInParisLinus:Fairchild.Fairchild:Goodmorning,sir.David:Hey,Linus!Gotaminute?Linus:David,doesiteveroccurtoyouthatyouareanofficeroftheLarrabeeCorporation?David:Listen,Linus.Imetsomeone.Linus:Recalltheaddressofourbuilding?It’s389ParkAvenue.David:Hey,I’mnotkidding.Linus:Yourofficeisonthe48thfloor.David:Thisisreallysomebody.Linus:Sowhat’stheproblem?David:Well,I’veinvitedherfordinnerhereFriday.AndIjustdon’twantyouandmotherto...Listen,thisgirlissmart,she’sreallysmart.Linus:Well,thatcertainlyhasn’tcomeupbefore.David:Listen,Linus.She’sarealwoman.She’snota,youknow,a...Linus:Transvestitetransvestite:異裝癖David:She’snotabimbobimbo:空有外表，沒(méi)有內(nèi)涵的女孩.She’sadoctor,pediatricianbimbo:空有外表，沒(méi)有內(nèi)涵的女孩pediatrician:兒科醫(yī)生Linus:Howdidyoumeether?David:Well,Iwasatthispartyandthehost’skidgotsickwithsomethingandIrushedhimovertoLennoxHillEmergency.Andshewastheresidentresident:住院醫(yī)生Linus:How’dthesickkidmakeout?David:Listen!wellyouguysmeetherjusttrytomakemelookgood.Imean,IknowIlookgood.Butyaknow,trytomakemesoundgood.Mentionmyaccomplishmentsaccomplishment:成就,accomplishment:成就Linus:What’shername?David:Tyson,ElizabethTyson.Linus:TysonElectronics,Tyson?David:Tyson,Idon’tknow.Mrs.Larrabee:Here’satoughietoughie:難題David:Wow,greathat!Mother.Mrs.Larrabee:Goodmorning,blueeyes.Linus:Bringheraround.We’lltrytomakeyoulookgood.David:So,youguysworkSundaysnow,huh?Linus:It’sWednesday,David.Linus:Guesswhat?David’stakingoutPatrickTyson’sdaughter.Mrs.Larabee:Well,well,well.Mack:Yessir?Linus:Mack,givemeHarvey.Harvey:Harvey.Linus:Harvey,Iwantyoutostartbuyingupchunkschunk:大量的ofTysonstock.Notsomuchthatanybo
