影視英語口語:煞風景

【劇情簡介】王子對蒂亞娜說他懶惰不服，小聲小氣兒地還嘴，卻遭到蒂亞娜一通反駁，說得他幾乎啞口無言……

【電影片段臺詞】
- Ahaha... Kill joy.
- What'd you say?
- Ah, nothing.
- Stick in the mud.
- Listen here, Mister. This stick in the mud has had to work two jobs her whole life while you've been sucking on a silver spoon chasing chamber maids around your... your ivory tower!
- Actually, it's polished marble.

【重點詞彙講解】
1. Kill joy 掃興，煞風景
這是一個俚語哦，看字面的意思就能猜到，殺死愉悅，可不就是掃興了？
2. Stick in the mud 死腦筋
這也是一個習語，插在泥巴里頭的木棍是挺難撥動的吧？所以就是頑固不化、墨守陳規的意思。
3. sucking on a silver spoon 吮吸着銀勺子
有個習語叫做born with a silver spoon in one's mouth生來含着銀勺子，表示出生在權貴之家。
4. chamber maids 傭人 = housemaids
5. ivory tower 象牙塔，寓意脫離實際的小天地
6. polished marble 打光的大理石
