影片对白

Bridget: Who cares about the odd professional hiccup¹? The fact is I've been in a functional² relationship with an adult male for six wonderful weeks, four fabulous³ days and seven precious hours, or toput it another way, 71 ecstaticshags. He's given up being snooty, and I've given up smoking. Well, he thinks I have anyway, which is practically the same thing... Mark Darcy is perfect. Not a fuckwit, alcoholic⁴, workaholic, pervert⁵ or megalomaniac, but total sex god and human rights lawyer. He is a miracle, really.

Mark: Bridget, will you stop? Stop staring at me while I'm asleep. Go and find something to do.

Bridget: Sorry. So, as you can see, the incredible truth is the wilderness⁶ years are over. Bridget Jones is a love pariah⁷ no more.

Workmate: Morning, Bridget. Late again.

Bridget: Yes. Sorry. I was in bed with my boyfriend. He's a human rights lawyer, you know.

Workmate: Yes, we know.

Bridget: I cannot believe how fantastic shagging was last night. Maybe I'll ring him. No, no... Obviously it's important to tell one's boyfriend how nice he looks naked, but I have crucial, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism⁸ to do.

Mark: Hello?

Bridget: It's me. Just wondered how you are.

Mark: I'm fine, thanks.Everything all right with you?

Bridget: Fine, though, er... I've just had a rather graphic⁹ shag flashback. And you do have a genuinely gorgeous bottom.

Mark: Thank you. I'm actually with the Mexican ambassador, the head of Amnesty international and the Undersecretary for Trade and lndustry. Andyou're on speakerphone.

Bridget: Oh. Right, well... I'm quite busy with important stuff too...

妙词佳句，活学活用

1．put it another way

这里着重要讲的是put这个词。通常情况下put是放置的意思，除此之外，put还有“说，表达”的含义。put it another way就是“换个说法”的意思，相当于我们学过的in other words。

2．shags

英国俚语，意思是have sex with someone。美国人很少这样讲。

3．Everything all right with you?

这句话可称之为金牌句型，意思是“一切顺利吧，一切还好吧”！如果一个朋友看起来有些神秘兮兮的，总是有话不说，吞吞吐吐。这时你就可以问他 Everything all right with you?

4．be on speakerphone

speakerphone 是免提电话的意思。假设你正在看书，这时电话响了，你随手按了免提键，就可以用到这句话了：You are on speakerphone。我在用免提和你说话。

文化面面观

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights

The UN operates a Commission on Human Rights, which monitors human rights abuses in countries, holds international meetings on human rights concerns, and handles complaints about human rights violations¹⁰. In 1993 the General Assembly also created the position of High Commissioner¹¹ for Human Rights. The commissioner oversees¹² all the UN's human rights programs, works to prevent human rights violations, and investigates human rights abuses. The commissioner also has the power to publicize abuses taking place in any country, but does not have the authority to stop them. However, most publicity¹³ about human rights abuses does not come from the UN but from rival countries or from nongovernmental organizations.
