影片對白

Samuel: And the German military is ready to use chaos in Croatia as justifications for actions that could plunge the entire civilized world into...

Colonel Ludlow: Samuel! The word "civilized" has no place in any discussions of the affairs of this world.

Alfred: Miss Finncannon, Mother has told us of your sympathy for the social reformers.

Susannah: You make it sound like a disease.

Alfred: No, no, no, on the contrary, I'm in agreement.

Susannah: Your mother told me all about One Stab. She says that he was a great warrior.

Alfred: Oh yes. He has a bag of scalps sitting away somewhere to prove it too, but don't worry, he's...haha... he's devoted to father now.

Samuel: Or rather, they're devoted to each other. 

Susannah: Can he speak English?

Alfred: Stab? Speak English? He wouldn't lower himself to speak English. Would you, Stab? But watch out. Because he understands it perfectly well.

Samuel: Hey, there's Tristan.

Samuel: Don't they feed you up there?

Tristan: Not much.

Samuel: You smell.

Tristan: Miss me, did you?

Samuel: Still hung over?

Tristan: Still drunk.

Samuel: Isn't she amazing?

Susannah: So this is Tristan. And does he speak English?

Alfred: Tristan, for God's sake.

Tristan: Miss Finncannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and Ugly here find every happiness together.

Alfred: Don't mind my brother. Your dog has more breeding than he has.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. plunge into

“卷入，陷入”的意思。Samuel的意思是說“整個文明世界都被卷入到戰(zhàn)爭中”。 Plunge 還可以指“全神貫注地投入到某件事情中”，例如：The kids plunged into the story. 孩子們整個被這個故事迷住了。

2. Has no place in

“‘文明'這個詞根本不能用來形容這個世界?！痹贑olonel Ludlow看來，這個世界虛偽又殘忍，根本談不上“文明”。Has no place in 通常的意思是 inappropriate （不適合/不應該……），但語氣要比它強許多。例如：Fast food has no place in hospitals. 快餐不應該賣到醫(yī)院里。
