看電影學習雅思,其實正好是從聽入手,然後去感受它模仿它,最後實現說的突破。從備考雅思口語/聽力的角度來點評一下5部的經典臺詞。看看這些主人公們是如何在隻言片語間展示耀眼奪目的語言與情感魅力。
《窈窕淑女》(My Fair Lady)
由蕭伯納劇本改編,由赫本女神主演,講述了一個滿口粗鄙的鄉下貧窮賣花女在一個語言學教授的包裝下,華麗變身為一個上流社會lady的故事(當然也是一個忘年戀的故事),可以說這完全就是一個0基礎雅思口語高分超級速成課程。
教授在失去賣花女之後所說的話:Damn, damn, damn, damn. I've grown accustomed to her face. She almost makes the day begin. I've grown accustomed to the tune that she whistles night and noon, her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs are second nature to me now. Like breathing out and breathing in. I was serenely independent and content before we met. Surely I could always be the way again. And yet I've grown accustomed to her looks. Accustomed to her voice. Accustomed to her face.
點評:通篇高分詞彙,高分表達,
重點看grow accustomed to sth的用法,
還有her ups,her downs, second nature
breathing out and breathing in
金句:She almost makes the day begin
《傲慢與偏見》(Pride & Prejudice)
所有的英語學習網站都必推的英音電影材料,該片比較適合考生去模仿那種抑揚頓挫的英音腔,但在題材和口語用詞都過於老了。只是這種經典橋段,永遠不會老。
男主角對即將失去的女主角說的話:If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once.My affections and wishes have not changed. But one word from you will silence me for ever. If, however, your feelings have changed......I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love...I love... I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
高分詞彙:affection, silence,bewitch, part
高分表達:tell me so, body and soul, be parted from
金句:one word from you will silence me for ever。 I never wish to be parted from you from this day on。
《珍愛來臨》(Becoming Jane)
簡•奧斯丁(安妮·海瑟薇 飾)的一生是否如她的文字那樣充滿曲折的過程和完滿的結局?《珍愛來臨》用傳記方式描述她的一生。安妮·海瑟薇主演,擁有燦爛明媚的笑容和高雅端正的氣 質,還帶有一點點的調皮可愛,被譽為“茱莉亞·羅伯茨和奧黛莉·赫本”的綜合體。電影裡的臺詞無比文藝清新,可以說這是一場英式的嚴肅雅思聽力課。
女主角忍痛與男主角徹底分手前說的話:But if our love destroys your family, it will destroy itself, in a long, slow degradation of guilt and regret and blame. Truth, made from contradiction. But it must come with a smile. Or else I shall count it as false and shall have had no love at all.
高分詞彙:degradation, contradiction, count
高分表達:in a long, slow degradation of guilt and regret and blame;come with
金句:it must come with a smile.
《王者之聲:宣戰時刻》(The King's Speech)
這是一部美麗的電影。是一件藝術品。沒有視覺效果,沒有美女,沒有華服。不用讓你辛苦的戴上眼鏡在大螢幕前目不轉睛屏息凝神兩個小時兼帶大呼小叫,這部電 影不負責鎖住你的眼球,不負責點燃你的荷爾蒙, 不負責代入你的情緒,它只管兀自綻放著360度全方位無死角的美麗,仿佛夜半時分盛開的曇花,明明安靜而沒有高潮,卻每一秒每一分都是高潮,雍容華貴得需 要用慢鏡頭去體會。
聽名字就能猜想推薦的理由,一個嚴重口吃的國王是如何在一個野蠻老師的帶領下發表9分雅思口語part2!!
男主的演講高潮部分:The task will be hard. There may be dark days ahead, and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield, but we can only do the right as we see the right, and reverently commit our cause to God. If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it, ready for whatever service or sacrifice it may demand, then with God's help, we shall prevail.

高分表達:be confined to, commit our cause to

男主角的標誌性開場話獨白:Of course, I've seen her films and always thought she was, well, fabulous -- but, you know, million miles from the world I live in. Which is here -- Notting Hill -- my favourite bit of london. There's the market on weekdays, selling every fruit and vegetable known to man... The tattoo parlour -- with a guy outside who got drunk and now can't remember why he chose 'I Love Ken'... tattoo The racial hair-dressers- where everyone comes out looking like the Cookie Monster, whether they want to or not... Then suddenly it's the weekend, and from break of day, hundreds of stalls appears out of nowhere, filling Portobello Road right up to Notting Hill Gate.And wherever you look thousands of people are buying millions of antiques, some genuine... and some not quite so genuine. And what's great is that lots of friends have ended up in this part of London -- that's Tony, architect turned chef, who recently invested all the money he ever earned in a new restaurant... ended up sour.So this is where I spend my days and years -- in this small village in the middle of a city -- in a house with a blue door that my wife and I bought together... before she left me for a man who looked like Harrison Ford, only even handsomer... and where i lead a strange half-life with a lodger called -- Spike!
