A. 话匣子是什么意思
一、所谓的“唱话晌巧匣子”的其实并不是单指的“话匣子”(也就是留声机),而是指的是一种职业,类似于后期出现的“迟谨册放电影的”,是一种职业的称呼。因为带一个“唱”字,实际意思是“让话匣子唱”。
二、林海音在《童年乐事》里写:“在我七八岁的时候,北平有一种穿街绕巷的“唱话匣子的”,给我留下很深的印象。”可见这是人背着码宏“话匣子”,让话匣子唱。
三、曾有人这样描写“唱话匣子”:生意人肩扛一只大喇叭、胸前抱着一部留声机和一摞喝片,边走边吆喝:“唱话匣子,谁听话匣子”。居住在中小宅门四合院里的人们闲来无事时,听到话匣子送上门来,便请到院中或屋子里,花钱不多点播几段爱听的唱段,也能解解闷儿,给日子增添些情趣。

H. 如何看电影学英语
有人说要学好英语,可以多看电影,不过条件是每场电影至少要学到四、五个词组。接下来,我给大家准备了如何看电影学英语,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
如何看电影学英语
1.抛开中文字幕
有人说要学好英语,可以多看电影,不过条件是每场电影至少要学到四、五个词组。如果不看中文字幕,你做得到吗?早在八、九年前,当时还没有DVD这种时髦的玩意儿,为了帮助同学们起步,语言中心动员所属教职员,挑选部分影片制作电影讲义,将关键词汇或词组整理出来,学习者看到相关片段时,就可以仔细聆听,模仿剧中人物的发音、腔调、口气甚至肢体语言。而时至今日,因为 教育 产品新宠儿 英语学习 软件的出现,更造福了广大的英语学习者,不需要用封箱胶带将中文字幕遮蔽起来,也可以轻松切换成英文字幕或无字幕来练习听力。同学们可以多多利用这些高效的语言学习资源,训练自我独立学习的能力。
2.选择影片
看电影学英语的重点不在于片子的新旧,也无关乎你是否曾经看过,而是要根据个人的英语程度或特定的学习目标来选择适合的影片。比如说,你想学现代的日常生活用语,当然就不要挑古装片;而想了解新闻记者怎么作二十秒归纳报导,可以考虑如「因为你爱过我」(Up Close&Personal)之类的片子,因为剧中主角的职业就是记者,部分TV-reporting的场景可以拿来当作学习范例。一个学期可以选定二、三部片子,每周安排时间自我学习,将「看电影学英语」成为你固定要进行的功课。
下面就来谈谈要怎么选片,笔者概要举出三大方向:
①浪漫喜剧,学生活会话
「我的英听能力普通而已,如果电影没有中文字幕,我听得懂吗?」这是一定没问题的啦!没有把握的人,一开始可以先从爱情片下手,因为好莱坞的浪漫喜剧不仅有俊男美女,而且题材软性轻松,每每受到观众喜爱;这类讨论男女关系的电影,时空背景又多设定于现代,剧中人物的生活不至于与现实脱节太大,观众很容易就能产生共鸣。此外,有些对白场景与日常生活情境相关,值得学习者留意,比方说上餐馆点菜或与人 辩论 等等;甚至,透过剧情还能了解英美等国的风土 文化 ,比如说婚礼或节庆的习俗。80年代末的「当哈利碰上莎莉」(When Harry Met Sally)以及90年代末的「电子 情书 」(You've Got Mail),里头就有好几段对白可以拿来学习。
②经典名片,赏隽永对白
「怀旧老片是不是很无聊啊?」假使你把「老电影」跟「沉闷无聊」画上等号,那你就错了!事实上,现代的电影经常是老片新拍,要不然就是在电影里引述经典之作的台词。比如上述的「当哈利碰上莎莉」一片中,主角之间的对白就扯到「北非谍影」(Casablanca);而「电子情书」的 故事 灵感其实源自「傲慢与偏见」(Pride andPrejudice)。这类永垂不朽的老片虽然少了那么一点煽情的画面、通俗的 俚语 ,但还是蛮有可看性的,可以看看老一辈的人遣词用字一派优雅,字里行间透露出「发乎情,止乎礼」的韵味。另外,如果你想更上一层楼,可以试试改编自文学巨着的老片,比如「咆哮山庄」(Wuthering Heights),这类文学作品通常也是美国高中程度的学生就应该要涉猎的。
③其他主题
除了上述两种类型的电影之外,一般剧情片的主题包罗万象,小自人生哲理,大至国家要事,同样可以拿来当作学习的教材,进一步训练批判性思考或口语简报申论的能力。不过,剧情片的对白通常要比浪漫喜剧来的多,而且情节较为复杂,探讨的主题若是扯上国家社会问题,也会显得较为严肃,学习者可要有点耐性。举个例子,「天人交战」的英文片名是"Traffic",这可不能翻译成「交通」喔!其实这是一部drug movie,traffic在这里是指非法交易。片中麦克道格拉斯(Michael Douglas)主演的法官经总统任命为全国的Drug Czar,率领打击犯罪。不料,这名法官却发现自己的女儿染上了毒瘾,此时做父亲的心里想必是「天人交战」啰!所以全片充斥的主题除了drug dealing(交易)、smuggling()、drug addiction(毒瘾),还有政治权谋以及父女关系。(Czar原指俄国沙皇,可以引申为掌权者、领导者,总统将全国的drug problems都交给他去打理发落,所以称为Drug Czar;如果是负责能源危机的最高官员,就是Energy Czar。)
诸如此类的剧情片除了能让学习者接触到生活会话以外的字汇用语,还可以透过故事情节,设身处地用英语去思考,如果你是剧中人,要如何处理状况解决问题。另外,选听室还有一系列介绍自然科学的Discovery Channel Video及National Geographic Video,这类影片的旁白(narration)并不像一般对话那样随性,而比较像是一篇 文章 ,因此 句子 比较长,文法也比较复杂,不过学习者可以留意优美的句型结构,从中学习写作技巧。
3.掌握诀窍
别以为把一部电影重复看十次,英语就能进步,你要懂得 方法 ,重点学习,学什么呢?学剧中人的遣词用字,想想他们为什么这么说,看看他们如何将语言灵活运用于情境之中,如果可以的话,最好还要学学他们展现在语言上的幽默,这一点最为困难,即使是苦读英语十年的人也不一定学得来。照这么说来,利用电影学英语其实工程浩大,无法一蹴可就,这种自我学习是重质不重量,只要功夫下的扎实,就算你每次只花十五分钟或半小时来学习一小片段,也绰绰有余了。下面笔者就献上几招看电影学英语的诀窍,并以电影中的对白为例,可供同学们订定这种自我 学习计划 时参考。
①准备电影笔记簿
「工欲善其事,必先利其器。」请准备一本笔记簿,好记下你在影片中发现的关键词汇或剧中人的 名言 妙语,长久下来,这本笔记簿就成了你个人整理的电影名句数据库。尤其老外说话或写作时,总喜欢引经据典,同样的一句话,如果表明是出自于某某古人或某某电影,马上就显得很有水平的样子。比方说在「乱世佳人」(Gone with the Wind)一片中,逞强的郝思嘉即使到最后夫离子亡,她还是有办法说\"Tomorrow is anotherday.",现在这句台词已经成了大家耳熟能详的话,别人失意沮丧的时候,你就可以说,It's not the end of the world.Just like Scarlett O'Hara said,"Tomorrow is another day.",意思是「地球不会因此而停止转动,就像郝思嘉说的,『明天又是新的开始』。」
②了解剧情概要
起跑前,要做好预备动作,先大致了解故事的来龙去脉,再进行后续的重点学习。纵使因为没有中文字幕,无法百分之百看懂也无所谓,听懂多少,就算多少。边看边随手写下你「抓得住」的关键词,串联成concept map,「理解」加上「联想」,先大致拼凑出故事架构还有电影想探讨的主题。下面就用「当哈利碰上莎莉」做为范例,影片一开始两人甫自大学 毕业 ,因共乘一辆车前往纽约,沿途一直斗嘴,终于引出本片的主题-「男人女人不能是朋友吗?」所以,这一段剧情就可以简略转化为图表。将故事用这种图表简单组织出来,可以培养做摘要的能力,跟自己玩玩"Watch and Tell"的游戏,试着用英语概述情节大纲,或者针对电影探讨的主题,用自己的话表达个人看法,训练口说能力。
③选择片段学习
用电影来学英语,不用强求自己每一个字每一句话都要听懂了,百分之百确定了,才要继续往下看,这样反而会阻碍了学习的兴趣。其实当你画出大致的concept map,就可以帮助你回忆剧情,你只要挑出重点段落,分段来学习就行了。「当哈利碰上莎莉」中有个片段,描述吊儿郎当的哈利搭上莎莉的便车之后,为了打发时间,总要打开话匣子,于是想跟莎莉聊聊life story,两人在车内的这段对白就有好几处值得留意:
Harry:Why don't you tell me the story of your life?…We've got 18 hours to kill before we hit New York.
Sally:The story of my life isn't even going to get us out of Chicago.I mean nothing\'s happened to me yet.That's why I'm going to New York.…I can go into journalism school to become a reporter.
Harry:So you can write about things that happen to other people.
Sally:That's one way to look at it.
Harry:Suppose nothing happens to you.Suppose you lived out your whole life and nothing happens.You never meet anybody,you never become anything,and finally you die in one of those New York deaths which nobody notices for two weeks until the smell drifts into the hallway.
「打发时间」叫"kill time",这段路程要18小时,所以哈利说"we've got 18 hours to kill",另外,"hit"在这里引申为「抵达目的地」的意思。莎莉的回答可绝了,"The story of my life isn't even going to get us out of Chicago.",字面上的意思是车子还没驶离芝加哥,可能就把她的一生全讲光了,其实就是说她的生活平淡无奇,没什么好说的。你看看这句话里没有一个难字,但是听起来多么生动贴切啊!这就是我们要学起来的。后来哈利嘲讽她,一个什么都没经历过的人(哈利尤其是在暗讽莎莉缺乏男女 经验 ),要怎么成为报导他人经历的记者?最后还叫莎莉当心成为纽约的独居老人,说不定死了两周传出尸臭味了,才被人发现唷!(drift是漂/飘流的意思)像这样只有几分钟的对白,就可自成一个段落,反复看个几次,不仅学到了字词的用法,还能看看两人一句来一句去之间所展现的幽默。
④从影片中记单字词组
是否很多人都有这种感觉?英文课本整理的单字或词组,背的愈多,忘的也不少,单单覆诵那些字母的组合,根本与字义兜不起来,更别提拿出来用,当然会「今日背,今日忘」。但是看着电影来学就不同了,透过剧情及影像,可以强化这个字在我们脑子里的印象,而且当你随着剧中人物跟读(shadowing),还能顺便模仿发音及语气等等。什么是跟读?shadowing就是像影子般紧紧地跟着念,你也可以说成echoing,像回声一样地模仿。随着剧中人物跟读,可以同时训练耳朵及嘴巴的反应。
例如,obnoxious意思是「讨人厌的」,在准备托福 留学 考试的字汇书里,这个字被列为要达六百分以上的必背单字,由此可知它的难度,别说要把它记起来,连要发音都有点难,可是,如果你透过莎莉来学,效果肯定倍增。当哈利躲在书店一角偷偷瞄着莎莉,莎莉转头对朋友说"He's obnoxious.,那种不屑的表情是不是更增添了这个字的意味?影片中还出现另一个前缀"ob-"的单字-"obituary",指的是「讣闻」,这个单字一般会话不常提及,不太好记,但是看看爱说笑的哈利是怎么说的:"…What's so hard about finding an apartment?What you do is you read the obituary column.You find out who died,go to the building and tip the doorman.What they could do to make it easier is combine the obituaries with the real estate section.Then you have,"Mr.Klein died today,leaving a wife,two children and a spacious three-bedroom apartment with a woodburning fireplace."哈利说朋友都安慰他离婚后至少还保有房子,可是找房子有什么难的,只要翻翻报纸的讣闻,看谁死了,就去接手他的房子甚至家庭,要是报社把房屋租售的版面跟讣闻摆在一起,那就更方便了。听了哈利这段自嘲的话,是不是对"obituary"这个字比较有印象了呢?
⑤看剧中人,运用情境会话
「英文学了这么多年,背也背过了,考也考过了,可是一碰到真正要开口说英语的机会,总是脑筋一片空白,不晓得那些句型都跑到哪儿去了?」原因无他,光是背诵课本那种A跟B硬梆梆的对话,当然没用喽!举例来说,一般的会话课本中,必定会学到上馆子点菜,课本里的例句似乎永远只有"How would you like your steak?""Well done,please."之类的答案,这种标准对话在真实生活中好像不太够用,万一侍者多问你一句,是不是就慌了呢?莎莉可不一样,从前菜到甜点样样讲求完美精准,哈利称她是great orderer,现在就来学学莎莉的「龟毛」点菜法:
Waitress:What can I get you?
Harry:I'll have a number 3.
Sally:I'd like the chef's salad,please,with the oil and vinegar on the side,and the apple pieàla mode.…
Sally:…I'd like the pie heated,and I want the ice cream on the side.And I'd like strawberry instead of vanilla,if you have it.If not,then no ice cream,just whipped cream,but only if it's real.If it's out of a can,then nothing.
Waitress:Not even the pie?
Sally:No,just the pie,but then not heated.
请注意这家餐厅不过是公路旁卖简餐的diner,哈利用的是「麦当劳式」的点法-「3号餐」,简单了事,而看莎莉点菜简直太神奇了,虽然点的是沙拉,可是橄榄油及醋汁要放在旁边,不能淋上去喔!说到甜点更是精采,"àla mode"源自法文,就是在甜点上面加一球冰淇淋,莎莉特别强调如果有冰淇淋,苹果派就要加热,冰淇淋要放在旁边,而且只要草莓口味,不然就放whipped cream(鲜奶油)就好,不过鲜奶油要现打的,罐装挤出来的她可不要。哇!原来点餐也可以这么灵活,习惯背课本的人要注意了,赶快丢掉那种制式的对话吧!
⑥留意文化差异
在美国,学生花钱是能省则省,所以让人搭便车或共乘是常有的事,不仅车租或油钱可以共同分担,如果是长途旅行,还可以轮流换手开车。影片中,哈利一上车,一板一眼的莎莉就要跟他讨论怎么轮流开车:"I have it all figured out.It's an 18-hour trip which breaks down into 6 shifts of three hours each or alternatively we could break it down by mileage.""alternatively"用于提出另一种不同的建议选择或替代方案。莎莉的意思是她都算好了,从芝加哥到纽约要花18小时,看是要分成六段轮流开车(shift是轮班),每次三小时,还是要用里程数来分。在中国,像这样跟不太熟的人一起长途开车或car pool(共乘)的习惯并不常见,只要留意电影中的小细节,就能观察到跟我们大不同的风俗习惯或生活方式。
⑦辅助学习工具
有人问:「我平常的英听程度还不错呀!前面讲的几种 学习方法 我也都知道,但是怎么一看无字幕的电影,感想只有三个字“I am lost.”」「看电影学英语」这种学习方式的确有趣,不过也挺残酷的。你的听力到底能不能跟上演员对白的速度,字幕一没,马上见真章。因为电影对白十分\"real world\"(至少从语言的角度来看是如此),不管是速度或遣词用字跟教学录音(影)带的对话相差十万八千里,好莱坞的电影绝对不会因为要在全世界放映,演员就会把说话速度放慢,或者用最简单的字来说话,这么说来,要怎么起步才不会让你一下子就信心全失呢?笔者建议使用能飞英语学习软件作为辅助学习工具,按照该软件的[播-学-词-听-配]五大学习功能,一步一步的学习,平时难以切换的字幕可以轻松切换,还可以一句句循环学习,单词、重点句边看可以边标记,背单词、听写、配音都能在软件上搞定,这样的学习才能高效,才让人容易坚持下来。就说这么多,反正世上无难事,怕的是没有有心人。

J. 电影里的英语日常生活用语
1. It's not like that. 不是那样的。
It's not like that.这句话是用来辟谣的。当别人误会了一件事的来龙去脉,你就可以跟他说It's not like that.“不是那样的。”当然随着语气及情境的不同,It's not like that.这句话也有可能是你用来硬拗的藉口。
2. There is nothing good playing. 没好电影可看。
这里的There's nothing good playing.是接着问句而来的,指的是“没有好电影可看。”同样的,若是电视上没有好节目可看,你就可以说There's nothing good on TV.
3. I've gotten carried away. 我扯太远了。
get carried away字面上的意思是“被带走了”,那么被带走的是什么呢?就是心思。当你或是他人说话的时候离了题,偏离主旨扯远了。你就可以用上这个表达法I've / You've gotten carried away.
4. Good thing... 还好,幸好…
在美语当中若要表达中文里“还好,幸好…”的语气,你就可以用Good thing...做开头。这个句型非常简单又好用,你只要在Good thing后面加上完整的句子就可以。
5. I don't believe you're bringing this up. 你现在提这件事真是岂有此理。
bring something up是指“提到(某件事)”。当然情况会有正反两面。你若没想到对方会提起这件事讨骂,你可以说I don't believe you're bringing this up.而反过来说,若你很高兴对方主动提起了一件事,你也可以用这个片语自然说出I am glad you are bringing this up.
6. spy on... 跟监(某人)
spy这个字就是“间谍”。当动词用的意思自然就是“做间谍做的事”,也就是“监视,跟踪”之意。当你要去监视跟踪某人,美语中就说成spy on someone。
7. There's no other way of saying it.没有别种说法。
有时候不管你再怎么转、再怎么拗,也没有办法更婉转或是避开一些绝对会出现的字,这时候你就可以用上There's no other way of saying it.这句话,来表达自己避无可避的为难,因为“没有别种说法。”
8. That will not always be the case. 情况不会永远是这样。
case这个字有“情况”的意思,That will be the case.就是指“情况就会是这样了。”
但是你若觉得现在的情况只会是暂时,不会长久,你就可以反过来说That will not always be the case.“情况不会永远是这样。”
9. She is coming on to you. 她对你有意思。
She is coming on to you.这句话是用在两性的关系上,意思是“她对你投怀送抱。”也就是形容某人对某人有意思的情况,这个句型男女两性都适用;同样的情况,你也可以说She is making a pass at you.“她对你眉来眼去的。”这两种说法都很生动,而且最棒的是没有新单字,赞!
10. I was being polite.我这是在说客气话。 polite这个字,我们在学校学的意思是“有礼貌的”。当然你若要说一个人有礼貌,你可以说He is polite.或是He has good manners.不过I was being polite.这句话是指“我这是在说客气话。”使用的情境比较趋近于客套而不伤和气的出发点,与“做作”artificial (a.)又不一样了。
11. stand someone up 放(某人)鸽子
stand someone up这个词组,大家若是第一次看到,想必多半是满头雾水,怎么单字全都认识,意思却完全猜不出来。其实stand someone up的意思就是“放(某人)鸽子”,这么简单又实用的句子,可得赶快记起来。
12. So that explains it. 原来如此。
有时候事情的来龙去脉浑沌不清,让人摸不着头脑,若是突然曙光一现,让你豁然开朗,这会儿你就可以用上这句话So that explains it / everything.“这就都说得通了。”
13. I feel the same way. 我有同感。
当他人说出了你的感觉,你再同意也不过的时候,你就可以用上这句话I feel the same way.“我有同感。”这句话不但可以让你避免把同样的话再讲一次,帮你省了不少口水,还可以让对方觉得自己的意见被尊重呢。I feel the same way.赶快记起来。
14. Is there someone else?你是不是有了新欢?
Is there someone else?这句话字面上是指“有其它人吗?”不过Is there someone else?这句话在使用上,问的那个“其它人”一定是感情上的“新欢,新对象”,所以若是情侣或是夫妻之间有人说了这句Is there someone else?“你是不是有了新欢?”这可就不太妙了。
15. I can't help myself. 我情不自禁。
我无法控制自己。I can't help myself.这句话可不是“我帮不了自己。”(赶快消除记忆),其实 I can't help myself. 这句话的意思是“我情不自禁。”指的是对自己的无能为力。I can't help... 这个句型很好用,若是你遇到一个情况,想要说“我不禁纳闷了起来。”在美语中你就可以直接说: I can't help but wonder.
16. come hell or high water
这个短语的使用时机是当你要去执行一项任务或是做一件事之际,只许成功不许失败的决心。就犹如中文的“就算天崩地裂…”,比喻不论发生什么状况都要去完成使命。可以用在句首当作一句话的开头,或是放在句尾补述。
17. have something in common
have something in common是指“彼此有着共通点”,可能是嗜好,也可能是观念。若你和某人完全不对盘,丝毫没有共通点,你就可以说We have nothing in common.
18. What have you got to lose?
What have you got to lose?这句话当中的lose是指“失去”的意思,当有人犹豫不决,始终做不了决定,你就可以用这句话What have you got to lose? “你有啥好损失的?”,来增强对方破釜沈舟的决心。

20. Don't get me started on it.
这句话是指“别让我打开话匣子”,意思是你对于某一件事或是一个主题,有很多的意见,要是让你开了话头,可能就要听你连说个七天七夜,没完没了。Don't get me started on it.这句话是用来表达你对一件事情牢骚满腹的心情。
21. When you get down to it
get down to...是指“追究出最根底的原因”,也就是把层层的原因摊开,在抽丝剥茧之后所得到最精确最原本的那个答案。
22. let someone off
let someone off是指“放某人一马”,也就是let someone off the hook,就如同你在钓鱼,鱼儿上了“钩”hook,而你把它放掉let it off the hook“放它一马”。
23. I don't know what came over me.
这句话的使用时机是,当你觉得自己方才或是回想当时的举动反应,跟平常的自己判若两人,等自己回过味来,才觉得有所不妥,犹如中文里的“我不知道自己是哪根筋不对”。
24. I think you're thinking of someone else.
这句话的使用时机是若谁认错人,或是记错人的时候,你就可以跟对方说I think you're thinking of someone else.“我觉得你是想到别人去了。”
25. This is not how it looks.
这句话是用来辟谣的,当有些事情看起来让人误会,而实情却不是表面那般,你就可以用上这句话This is not how it looks.“事情不是表面看来的这样”,以说服他人不要只凭他们所看到的片面,骤下结论。
26. pass oneself off as...
pass oneself off as...的意思就是“某人蒙混成……以过关”,好比小孩装成大人去看限制级电影,这可能是服装的不同,或是整体打扮的乔装,甚至还包括语调口音的不同。
27. be out of someone's league
league是指“联盟”,好比美国职棒的“大联盟”就是Major League。A be out of B's league.这句话的意思就是A的层级、能耐或是地位……都比B高出许多,非B所能及。若是使用在男女关系上,就是指“B配不上A”,若是使用在一般分胜负的情况,就是指“B比不上A”。
28. talk back
talk back字面的意思是“说回去”,也就是“回嘴,顶嘴”的意思。用在句子里,你可以说Don't talk back to your parents.“别跟父母顶嘴”。或是简洁地说Don't talk back.“不许顶嘴”。
29. spare no effort
spare的意思是“省却,省下”,effort是“努力”,spare no effort就是指“不惜血本,不计代价”,也就是你下定决心,就算用尽一切资源,也要达成某一个目标。
30. Would you cut it out, already?
cut it out是指“住嘴,住手”的意思,Would you cut it out, already?这句话当中的already,暗示着说话者的极度不耐烦,整句话的意思就犹如中文里的“你到底是有完没完?”
