影片对白:

 

Green Lantern《绿灯侠》精讲之三

Hal: Okay, all right. Place the ring, then speak the oath. The oath. Because everybody knows the oath. Used to sing it in camp. I, Hal Jordan...do solemnly swear...to pledge allegiance...to a lantern...that I got from a dying purple alien...in a swamp.

**************************

Hector: The epidermis is magenta. It appears transparent and is extremely thin...allowing visualization of muscles and individual muscle fibers.

**************************

Hal: "To infinity and beyond." "By the power of Grayskull." What the hell?! Come on! If you can fly me 100 miles in the middle of nowhere, you’d think that you-- No! (panting) In brightest day, in blackest night...no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might...beware my power: Green Lantern’s light. (knocking on door) Carol.

Carol: Everything okay in there?

Hal: It’s fine.

Carol: Well, can I come in?

Hal: No. Yeah, no, because we’re-- Uh, do you wanna get a drink?

Carol: Can we talk?

Hal: Yeah. We can talk and drink.

****************************

Hector: My initial analysis.

Dr Amanda Waller: Thank you, doctor.

Hector: I don’t need to tell you that the mere fact that its humanoid is extraordinary. It’s indicating a convergent evolution, or perhaps a common ancestry...and the implications of that are staggering. I mean, where did it come from? This could completely change the way that the world views itself. You imagine the way that the public will react to this? Um, but I know that that won’t happen. I do.

Dr Amanda Waller: Like yourself, doctor, I’m a seeker of truth. But the people who pay for facilities like this...have other priorities and the power to enforce them.

Hector: So I keep it a secret.

Dr Amanda Waller: People like us have to work within the system, doctor. We do the best we can.

Hector: Right.

****************************

Someone: Pick that up.

Hal: I, um...I’m really sorry.

Carol: Did you just apologize? You haven’t been replaced by an alien or something?

Hal: No. I’m good. Ah. I’m good. I’m good, totally good. Uh...Do you think I’m irresponsible? (Carol laughing) No need to answer. That’s fine.

Carol: Hal. (laughing)

Hal: You look pretty. And we haven’t been in this place together since...that night.

Carol: You forgot it was my birthday.

Hal: Did I?

Carol: Mm.

Hal: That was also the night--The first time that we ever...flew together.

Carol: You’ve been flying ever since with anyone who’d get in the plane.

(Music: “Come Softly To Me”)

Hal: Oh, yeah.

Carol: Oh, no.

Hal: Come on. No, yeah, let’s go.

Carol: Mm-mm.

Hal: Dance with me.

Carol: No. (Hal singing “Come Softly To Me”) No. No. No. Hal. No.

Hal: I really am sorry.

Carol: Oh. It’s okay. The contract isn’t quite dead yet. I told you I was good at this.

Hal: I wasn’t talking about the contract. I would’ve screwed this up. You know? Even if I didn’t go to the Air Force...I would’ve found some way to...You and me, I would’ve blown it.

Carol: Yeah, is that what you tell yourself?

Hal: Mm. What do you tell yourself?

Carol: That you were scared I was getting too close. You know what I spent my afternoon doing?

Hal: What?

Carol: Worrying about you. Hal, I went over every inch of the flight data. There was nothing wrong with the plane. What happened up there?

Hal: Thanks for the dance.

Bob: I told you to watch your back. You cost us all our jobs, you son of a bitch. Pathetic. Bastard’s been living off his old man’s reputation his whole life.

Hal: Hey. Hey! My face is just getting warmed up.

绿色的象征意义

Green Lantern《绿灯侠》精讲之三

中世纪时绿色代表邪魔(包括龙),有时又代表爱。这些象征意义现代已不明显。   

绿色有准许行动之意,因为交通讯号中绿色代表可行。   

绿色可以起保护色的作用,所以陆军和野战队通常用绿色制服。   

在美国,因为美钞背面的颜色是绿色,绿色代表金钱、财富和资本主义。    

在西方股票市场,绿色代表股价上升;在中国股票市场则相反。(主要原因是:因为中国喜欢红色,所以把红色设为上涨,按照规定,下跌要使用上涨的反色,所以中国的下跌是绿的。但西方传统中绿色代表安全,红色代表警戒,所以是绿涨红跌)   

英文中Little Green Men(小绿人)代表外星人。   

在中国的五行学说中,绿色是木的一种象征。   

在中国的一些事情中有绿帽子之称。   

绿色是植物的颜色,在中国文化中有生命的含义,也是春季的象征。   

世界上大多数国家的军服颜色都是以绿色为基调。   

绿色亦是环保的象征(特别是在广告内)。   

绿色软件是指软件无需安装便可使用,移除后也不会有任何残留纪录留在本机电脑上。   

性格色彩中代表和平、友善、善于倾听、不希望发生冲突的性格。   

绿色还代和平、宁静、自然、环保、生命、成长、生机、希望、青春……

世界上,惟日本不喜欢绿色(其可能的原因是:日语中“绿色”“midori”与“中间”“midoru”发音相近,但日本人在生活中的行为里不喜欢中间,所以不喜欢“midori”)。而在大部分欧美国家中,绿色是吉祥色,象征安全、新鲜,所以他们喜欢。
