The Graduate 《畢業(yè)生》（精講之三）
[ 2006-10-08 09:00 ]
影片對(duì)白Benjamin, I am getting pretty tired of all this suspicion.
3. to be available to
“可以得到的；可以得手的；隨時(shí)為他服務(wù)”。Mrs. Robinson 明確告訴本，他可以隨時(shí)與她發(fā)生關(guān)系。
4. I found you're attractive.
“我覺得你真可愛”。這次勾引本雖然沒有成功，但是，看到本驚慌失措，而且并沒有義正言辭地斥責(zé)她，Mrs. Robinson 感到有仍然希望。Find someone / something... 是一個(gè)常用的結(jié)構(gòu)，表示認(rèn)為某人或某事如何。后面加形容詞。如：我覺得這本書很有意思：I find the book interesting. 我覺得這個(gè)人很沒勁：I find the person boring.
文化面面觀
To rob the cradle 老少配
 在這部電影里，我們可以用一個(gè)確切的短語(yǔ)來表示 Mrs. Robinson對(duì)本的追求和兩人之間的關(guān)系: To rob the cradle 或者說Mrs. Robinson robbed the cradle. 這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)形容年紀(jì)較大的人追求年紀(jì)相差較大或很年輕的異性，與其談戀愛或結(jié)婚。中文里老夫少妻和老妻少夫說的就是這個(gè)意思。但平時(shí)也可以當(dāng)作一種夸張的，玩笑的說法。如：A forth-year boy is dating a freshman girl. He has robbed the cradle.一個(gè)大四的男生與一個(gè)一年的女生談戀愛。簡(jiǎn)直是老少配嘛。
Mrs. Robinson對(duì)本的引誘進(jìn)入了是步步緊逼，不由分說的階段。而本則驚慌失措，倉(cāng)惶躲閃。可以說是驚心動(dòng)魄。幾個(gè)回合下來，Mrs. Robinson愈發(fā)成竹在胸，勢(shì)在必得。如果不是Mr. Robinson恰好趕回，后果是顯而易見的。
考考你
用對(duì)白中的表達(dá)法將下列句子譯成英語(yǔ)。

When are you available (free), I would like to treat you to dinner?
Fine. I am always available for that. (Any time would be fine with me.)
2. --我這次回北京想看看老同學(xué)，跟他們聊一聊。你能幫忙聯(lián)系一下嗎？（安排一下）
