影片對(duì)白
Alex: Surprise!
Marty: Alex. Do not interrupt me when I'm daydreaming. When a zebra's in the zone, leave him alone.
Alex: Come on, Marty. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
Marty: Hey, man, thanks.
Alex: Hey, I got something stuck in my teeth. It's driving me crazy. Can you help me? Please?
Marty: You came to the right place, my friend. Dr. Marty, D.D.S., is in the house. Please hop on top of my sterilized examination table, if you may. I don't see anything.
Alex: It's on the left. Oh, sorry.
Marty: Okay, just don't talk with your mouth full. Right here. What the heck is this doing in there?
Alex: Happy birthday!
Marty: Aw, hey, thanks, man. You put it in behind the tooth. You all right.
Alex: These aren't even on the shelf yet. Here. Check it out. Look at that. Ooh! Look at that. Look at that. It's snowing. Ten years old, huh? A decade. Double digits. The big 1-0. You don't like it?
Marty: - No, no, it's great.
Alex: - You hate it. I should've gotten you the Alex alarm clock. That's the one. That's the big seller.
Marty: No, no, no. The present's great, really. It's just that. Another year's come and gone and I'm still doing the same old thing. "Stand over here. Trot over there. Eat some grass. Walk back over here."
Alex: - I see your problem.
Marty: - Maybe I should go to law school.
Alex: You just need to break out of that boring routine.
Marty: - How?
Alex: Throw out the old act. Who knows what you gonna do. Make it up as you go along. Ad lib. Improvise. On the fly. Boom, boom, boom.
Marty: Really?
Alex: You know, make it fresh.
Marty: Fresh, huh? Okay. I could do fresh.
Alex: Works for me. Here come the people, Marty. I love the people. It's fun people fun time! Let's go, Gloria! Up and at 'em. We're open!
Gloria: What day is it?
Alex: It's Friday. Field trip day.
Gloria: Yes, it's field trip day. Let's get up and go...in ten more minutes.
Alex: Come on! Melman, Melman, Melman! Melman, Melman, Melman! Wake up! Rise and shine! It's another fabulous morning in the Big Apple（紐約的別稱）. Let's go.
Melman: Not for me. I'm calling in sick.
Alex: What?
Melman: I found another brown spot on my shoulder. Right here. See? Right there. You see?
Alex: Melman, you know it's all in your head. Hm?
Crowd: Let's go! Come on!
妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用
1. on the shelf: 字面意思是“在擱板上”，常用來形容“束之高閣, 不再流行, 推遲執(zhí)行”，例如：
The scheme already "on the shelf" was to be achieved within days. 一個(gè)早已“束之高閣”的計(jì)劃不日將付諸實(shí)施。
還可表示女子過了適婚年齡依然未能嫁出去，用流行的話說就是“剩女”。例如：
Why is the hello girl on the shelf? 為什么這個(gè)女接線員嫁不出去?
在臺(tái)詞中，on the shelf 卻應(yīng)該翻譯成“還未上市”，即還沒有被擺放到商店的貨價(jià)上。
2. big seller: 暢銷品。獅子Alex說：“早知道我就送你艾力克斯鬧鐘了，那個(gè)很暢銷。”來看例句：
The book is tipped to be a big seller, like the rest in the series. 像系列中的其他六本書一樣，這本書肯定也會(huì)登上暢銷榜。
Coffee is such a big seller that coffee makers have had to keep up with the demand. 咖啡賣得這么好，咖啡制造商不得不盡力滿足市場(chǎng)需求.
3. Make it up as you go along.: 邊表演邊編吧。
make up除了表示“彌補(bǔ)”，還有“編造、虛構(gòu)”的意思，例如 make up a plot（虛構(gòu)情節(jié)），make up a story for the picture（看圖編故事），Don't make up any excuse.（不要編造任何理由。）
as you go along表示“當(dāng)你在進(jìn)行...的時(shí)候”，來看例句：
Check you work as you go along. 你要邊做邊檢查。
You'll find it easier as you go along. 你做下去就會(huì)覺得容易些。
4. ad lib: 做副詞時(shí)表示“沒有限制地；自發(fā)地”，做名詞是“即興表演”的意思，臺(tái)詞中ad lib就是一個(gè)名詞。來看例句：
Help yourself. You are ad lib here. 請(qǐng)自便，在這里你不受限制。
The best joke in the play was ad lib. 這出戲中最使人開心的笑話是即興發(fā)揮的。
5. Works for me.：就是It works for me. 這句話有兩種譯義，“為我工作”和“對(duì)我起作用”，臺(tái)詞里取后者的意思。Alex說：“這對(duì)我很奏效。”來看例句：
Oh，no，not again,It never works for me. 哦，別，別再來了，那從不對(duì)我起作用。
Sleeping pills somehow did not work for me last night. 安眠藥不知怎么搞的，昨晚好象對(duì)我沒用。
6. Up and at 'em.：即Up and at them. 意思是“向他們進(jìn)攻吧!”
7. call in sick：請(qǐng)病假。例如：
I think you should call in sick and take a rest at home. 我想你應(yīng)該打電話請(qǐng)病假,在家里休息.
更多關(guān)于請(qǐng)假的英語表達(dá)法，請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊這里：申請(qǐng)休假常用句型
8. It's all in your head.: 那是你頭腦中所有的東西，更確切地翻譯是：“那完全是你的胡思亂想。”
影片簡(jiǎn)介：雖說四周有堅(jiān)固的籠子和高大的圍墻，深受紐約市民喜愛的四位動(dòng)物好朋友的日子過得還是相當(dāng)?shù)淖虧?rùn)，豈料有一天它們竟然會(huì)重返叢林，這嬌生慣養(yǎng)的四位將如何生存呢......
