看《天使与恶魔》学口语:光照派的复仇
【影片介绍】
《天使与魔鬼》是一部由朗•霍华德执导的惊悚电影,故事主要讲述了任职于哈佛大学,专注于研究宗教符号的罗伯特•兰登教授运用他在破译密码方面的知识,粉碎了一起企图在教皇会议期间炸毁梵蒂冈城的阴谋。这次故事的起点并不是罗伯特•兰登的讲堂,也不是瑰丽的卢浮宫,而是汇聚了人类尖端科技的欧洲原子核研究所。一个平静的下午,在这栋并不怎么起眼的建筑中,神力与科学进行了跨越时代的结合!科学家列奥纳多。维特勒与其养女维特多利亚在高度机密的实验室中首次合成了强大而神秘的能量—"反物质",但此时沉浸在喜悦中的列奥纳多,维特勒不会想到,这将带给他杀身之祸。
【选词片段】
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.
【知识点】
1. revenge for
他们请来了兰柏教授,绑架者发来了恐吓录音,上面提及了一个古老的恐怖组织,光照派。录音提到他们将要彻底毁灭教廷的四大支柱,在他们的身上烙下烙印,这是一个古老的恐怖传说,土地,空气,火,水,是基本的四大科学元素,第五个是秘密。Revenge for 是为了当年的事件而复仇,报复的意思。
2. intend to
当警察听到这些一脸迷惑的时候,兰柏说,噢,天哪,你们竟然连自己的历史都不知道,在1668年,教廷抓了光照派的科学家,并且在他们身上烙下了烙印,把他们的尸体扔到街上作为一种警示,从此有了黑暗的地下组织光照派,他们想要怎么做达到他们的目的?Intend to有打算,目的想要做某事的意思。
3. bring down
牺牲他们来改变科学世界,然后打倒你们的教会。梵蒂冈整座城将会被光毁灭,一个新星将会升起在光照之路上,这是恐吓者发来的,说明他们最终的目的。Bring down有打倒,击败,击落的意思。
