今天來給大家講一段英語,當你的朋友不理智時,用這句英文叫醒他。
這段臺詞出自《搖滾藏獒》,主角Bodi是一只藏獒,有天在園子玩,結果從飛機上忽然落下了一個收音機。Bodi從來沒有見過收音機,更別說是聽了。當他聽到收音機的搖滾樂時,內心第一次被點燃。他親切的稱之為“魔法盒子”(magic box)。自從被搖滾樂激活后,他便自己拿了一把破吉他唱起了歌,立志要做一名搖滾歌手。但是作為藏獒,他的職責就是守護村莊,看護羊群。Bodi的父親看到兒子這么沉迷音樂,完全沒有子承父業(yè)的想法。就對Bodi說了下面這番話:
Now, when you've come to your senses, you're going to march down here and you're going to hand over that noisemaker and going to pretend this never happened! Agreed? I'll take your silence as a yes.
等你想清楚了,就下來。然后把那把破琴交給我。我們就當這事沒發(fā)生明白嗎?不出聲就當你默認了。
