終於開始年假了！今年去看了入圍第91屆奧斯卡最佳影片、最佳男主角與男配角等五項大獎的《幸福綠皮書》

最喜歡這種真人真事改編，以詼諧輕鬆的口吻，談論種族議題的電影。

來看一下電影裡的經典對白以及筆記吧 

「要有勇氣，才能夠改變人心 」

「it takes courage to change people's hearts.」

Tony Lip: How does he smile and shake their hands like that?

Oleg: Because it takes courage to change people's hearts.

「如果我不夠黑，也不夠白，更不夠man，那我是什麼？」

「What am I!?」

Don Shirley: So if I'm not black enough and if I'm not white enough, then tell me, Tony, what am I!?

「暴力不能致勝，只有保持尊嚴才可以。」

「Maintain Your Dignity」

Don Shirley: [Speaking to Tony, who is in jail]

You never win with violence. You only win when you maintain your dignity.

「你可以做得更好。」

「You Can Do Better」

Don Shirley: We'll be interacting with some of the wealthiest people in the country.

It is my feeling that your diction could use some...finessing.

Tony Lip: Afanabola. Wh...why are you breaking my balls?

Don Shirley: Because you can do better, Mr. Vallelonga.

*Afanabola 為義大利語 = go to hell 下地獄吧！

*breaking my balls = 為難某人

「恐怕無法。」

「I'm Afraid Not」

Don Shirley: This gentleman says that I'm not permitted to dine here.

Maitre D’: I'm afraid not.

「預見任何問題。」

「Foresee Any Issues」

Don Shirley: Do you foresee any issues in working for a black man?

Tony Lip: You, in the Deep South, there's going to be problems.

「非常狹隘的見解。」

「Very Narrow Assessment」

Tony Lip: Tell me that don't smell good?

Don Shirley: I've never had fried chicken in my life.

Tony Lip: You people love the fried chicken.

Don Shirley: You have a very narrow assessment of me, Tony.

Tony Lip: Yeah, right. I'm good.
