電影學口語 Lesson 25:[風中奇緣II]Bring her to the hunt ball

【精彩片斷】

剪輯自《Pocahontas II》風中奇緣II
Rolfe: Sire(陛下), I gave these people your word you would meet. Are we not honor-bound—
Ratcliffe: The king is bound(被束縛) to nothing, when you can not fulfill your mission(任務). You were sent for the savage leader and yet you bring back a woman.
King: A woman!
Rolfe: Your Highness, she is royalty(王權)—a princess. She is the daughter of a great chief who has traveled far from her homeland in the interests of peace.
Ratcliffe: Meet with her, Your Majesty. May I suggest she attend the hunt ball? Let her go back to Virginia having witnessed the royal might and majesty of English society.
Rolfe: Sire, she doesn’t know our customs, to subject her to this kind of scrutiny(詳細審查) would be---
Ratcliffe: I don’t understand, Rolfe. If she is not a savage, then why shouldn’t she fit in?
King: Excellent idea, Ratcliffe. Rolfe, you will bring her to the hunt ball. Prove to me she is as civilized as you claim, and I will stop my armada(艦隊); if not, the armada sails.
Rolfe: But Sire—
King: It is decided.
