万圣节派对

Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1
Holly: What a great haunted house idea---the Haunted Woods! Jack did a great job.
Alicia: Yes, I love it! And we have to take a golf cart!
Holly: Kinda spooky, huh? I hope nothing big jumps out at us.
Alicia: I wouldn't count on that. Brian said to expect the unexpected!
Holly: Well, it's definitely dark and creepy in here.
Alicia: Yeah, it's giving me the creeps. I keep seeing things moving out there behind the trees.
Brian: I heard that a prison escapee roams these woods!
Holly: Knock it off, Brian! You're just trying to get us screaming!
Brian: This isn't scary. But I bet you girls will scream if something jumps out!
Alicia: Brian! Something just moved up there in front of us!
Brian: Don't worry, Alicia, I'll protect you.
Holly: Keep your eyes on where you're going!
Brian: Ahh! A werewolf!

讲解：
1. Alicia，Holly 和 Brian来到了他们的朋友Jack专门为万圣节布置好的鬼森林，就是Haunted Woods. haunted这个词表示“闹鬼的，鬼魂出没的，受到折磨的”，例如：They live in a haunted house. 他们住的房子闹鬼。这个次经常出现在恐怖电影里，在万圣节当然也是必不可少的了。
2. Jack布置的这个鬼森林看起来真的很恐怖，很有节日气氛，所以holly夸他He did a great job. 当你夸奖别人做的好时，就可以用这个句型，还可以说Good job! 或者You did a good job! Alicia也非常喜欢这个鬼森林，还要坐着高尔夫球车穿越森林。Holly觉得这个鬼森林有点恐怖，她说：Kinda spooky, I hope nothing big jumps out at us. 挺恐怖的吧，我希望没有什么庞然大物会朝我们跳过来。kinda，口语的说法，就是 kind of，有一点。spooky，幽灵般的, 怪异的, 神经质的。
3. Alicia可不敢说，I wouldn't count on that. count on something，这个词组，表示依靠...指望...比如说：You can count on me. 就表示“你可以相信我。” Brian说 to expect the unexpected! 等着看一些意外的事情，the unexpected，意外的事件。下面有出现了一个表示“可怕，恐怖”这个意思的词，creepy，表示“令人毛骨悚然的”。creep是它的名词形式，原意是“蹑手蹑脚”，也可以用来表示可怕，心惊肉跳。比如我们可以说 He gave me the creeps. 他吓得我心惊肉跳。
4. Alicia觉得很害怕，说她一直看到树后面有东西跑出来。Brian这时有添油加醋地说听说有个越狱的人在这片树林里游荡。a prison escapee，越狱的犯人，roam，漫无目的地四处游荡。Holly 被吓到了，赶忙让Brian闭嘴，她是这么说的，knock it off! 表示“住口，停下来”。只要有人发出令人讨厌的声音，说了讨厌的话，做了讨厌的动作，都可以说knock it off 来让对方停止。
5. Brian就是想吓唬吓唬那两个女生。这时Alicia看到有东西在他们前面晃来晃去的，up there in front of us，在我们正前方。Brian劝她不要担心，说会保护她的。Holly提醒Brian注意看路，keep you eyes on where you're going! keep one's eyes on something/someone，注意，监视某人某物。突然什么东西撞到了他们的高尔夫球车上，也吓了Brian一跳，原来是狼人，也就是werewolf。
