【看電影學英文】Ice Age 4:Continental Drift



(冰原歷險記4電影海報)



【關於DVD之夜】

話說,每周四晚上的DVD Night,應該算是我們最為期待的團體活動之一吧!(完全是個人認為)我們會選好一部電影,幾個人下班後一起在公司欣賞;利用看電影的方式強化英文聽力及單字力真的是絕佳的方法之一。

很多人對於看電影學英文有迷思,以為遇到聽不懂就要倒轉或停下來查字典;但我認為這樣實在是太消耗時間又太浪費看電影的樂趣了!

所以,我們的作法是,把聽不懂的單字寫下來,不要怕寫錯字,總會猜中幾個,多多練習對英文拼音的敏銳力也會提升;當然啦!如果能找到有英文字幕的電影就更好了,直接抄下來即可;等到電影看完再來回顧。

記住!我們不需要把所有不認識的單字都用字典查一遍外加背得滾瓜爛熟,但一定要學會如何運用已經會的單字以及前後文來了解句意!


【冰原歷險記4 - Ice Age 4:Continental Drift

今天,剛好有好心的同學提供了英文版的冰原歷險記4,我們當然就快快樂樂的連同麥當當快樂分享餐一起享用啦~~

(麥當當快樂分享餐示意圖)

照慣例,movie trailer是基本的啦~


從第一集開始就一直追著橡果跑並造成各式各樣災難的Scrat(松鼠),這次在意外中發現了橡果藏寶圖。在試圖尋找巨大橡果時,竟衰到爆的引起地球板塊移動,更導致Manfred(長毛象)、Sid(樹懶)及Diego(劍齒虎)因此與親朋好友失散,還遇上殘暴搞笑的海盜軍團... Anyway, 故事就留給大家自行研究吧!

接著,就正式的來看看這次我們找到了甚麼有趣的單字吧!

Delinquent
n. 名 詞:犯人、小混混、罪犯...
[例] a juvenile delinquent 
a. 形容詞:拖欠的、逾期的
[例] He's delinquent in paying the rent

Scurvy
a. 形容詞:卑鄙的、下流的
n. 名 詞:壞血病

Punch line
ph.片 語:笑點
[例] He told the joke so poorly that he had to explain the punch line twice.

Fella
n. 名 詞:小伙子 (看到這個我笑了,因為菲律賓有一間語言學校也叫Fella)

Flawless
a. 形容詞:無瑕疵的

Leprosy
n. 名 詞:痲瘋病
(對這個字超有印象,因為這一段實在是太可愛了~)



此外,在電影中有一段,是Sid試圖跟一群超可愛的黃金鼠之類的生物溝通(可以在trailer中看到),在開始超爆笑的溝通之前,Sidney為了清嗓有念兩句繞口令:

"Sick sloths sip broth, sick sloths sip broth!"



坦白說,繞口令對我而言真的好有親切感 ♥ 大概是因為年輕時我的第一個英文老師教我英文也是從繞口令開始吧!我以前念的是"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch the tiger by the toe, If it hollers let him go, Eeny meeny miny mo.",我記得當年剛開始學英文的我真的覺得好難!練了好久喔~~!

前陣子有人給了我一篇出處不詳但號稱念完會升天(尤其是戴牙套的人)的英文繞口令,讓我突然覺得小時候念的果然只是小兒科啊... 想挑戰的人歡迎跟念:
