看《天使與惡魔》學口語:光照派的復仇
【影片介紹】
《天使與魔鬼》是一部由朗•霍華德執導的驚悚電影,故事主要講述了任職於哈佛大學,專注於研究宗教符號的羅伯特•蘭登教授運用他在破譯密碼方面的知識,粉碎了一起企圖在教皇會議期間炸燬梵蒂岡城的陰謀。這次故事的起點並不是羅伯特•蘭登的講堂,也不是瑰麗的盧浮宮,而是匯聚了人類尖端科技的歐洲原子核研究所。一個平靜的下午,在這棟並不怎麼起眼的建築中,神力與科學進行了跨越時代的結合!科學家列奧納多。維特勒與其養女維特多利亞在高度機密的實驗室中首次合成了強大而神祕的能量—"反物質",但此時沉浸在喜悅中的列奧納多,維特勒不會想到,這將帶給他殺身之禍。
【選詞片段】
Robert: It’s the ancient illuminati threat. Destruction of Vatican city through light. Four pillars, there’s your kidnapped cardinals. You didn’t tell me they were the preferiti the favourites to be names the next pope. Play it again.
Radio: We will destroy your four pillars. We will brand you preferiti……
Robert: Wait, stop it, stop it. “ Brand them”. That’s another illuminati legend. This one says that there are a set of five brands……each one an ambigram. The first four are the fundamental elements of science! Earth, air, fire and water. The fifth, it’s a mystery.
Sheriff: Maybe it’s this… He said they’d be killed publicly.
Robert: Yes, Revenge for la purge.
Sheriff: “la purge”?
Robert: Oh, jezz, you guys don’t even read your own history, do you?
In 1668, the church kidnapped four illuminati scientists…and branded each one of the cross…to purge them of their sins and they executed them, threw their bodies into the street as a warning to other to stop questing church rulings on scientific matter. They radicalized them.
The purge created a darker, more vioent illuminati…one bent on retribution. Look how they intend to finally get it: Using antimatter, science obliterates, religion. Is there any more?
Radio:And sacrifice them on the alters of science, then bring your church down upon you. Vatican city will be consumed by light. A shining star at the end of the Path of illumination.
Robert: Path of illumination.
【知識點】
1. revenge for
他們請來了蘭柏教授,綁架者發來了恐嚇錄音,上面提及了一個古老的恐怖組織,光照派。錄音提到他們將要徹底毀滅教廷的四大支柱,在他們的身上烙下烙印,這是一個古老的恐怖傳說,土地,空氣,火,水,是基本的四大科學元素,第五個是祕密。Revenge for 是爲了當年的事件而復仇,報復的意思。
2. intend to
當警察聽到這些一臉迷惑的時候,蘭柏說,噢,天哪,你們竟然連自己的歷史都不知道,在1668年,教廷抓了光照派的科學家,並且在他們身上烙下了烙印,把他們的屍體扔到街上作爲一種警示,從此有了黑暗的地下組織光照派,他們想要怎麼做達到他們的目的?Intend to有打算,目的想要做某事的意思。
3. bring down
犧牲他們來改變科學世界,然後打倒你們的教會。梵蒂岡整座城將會被光毀滅,一個新星將會升起在光照之路上,這是恐嚇者發來的,說明他們最終的目的。Bring down有打倒,擊敗,擊落的意思。
