☀☪★ 暮光之城精彩臺詞片段★☪☀

- The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family. I guess they're the closest thing to royalty my world has.
- Is that Carlisle?
- Yeah.
- He lived with them for a few decades. Described them as very refined. No respect for human life, of course, but a respect for the arts and the sciences, at least. And the law. Above all, the law.
- Vampires have laws?
- Not very many. And only one that's regularly enforced.
- What is it?
- That we keep the existence of our kind a secret. We don't make spectacles of ourselves, and we don't kill conspicuously. Unless, of course, you want to die.
- You gotta stop talking about that. I can't even think about someone hurting you.
- Bella, the only thing that can hurt me is you. And I don't have anything else to be afraid of.
- That's not true.
- Victoria? She'll come for me one day. Alice will see when she decides, and we'll be ready.
- I could protect you if you change me.
- Bella, you already do protect me. You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am. But it's my job to protect you. From everyone except my sister.☀☪★ 暮光之城詳細英語口語學習筆記★☪☀

【1】He lived with them for a few decades.
翻譯：他同他們在一起過了幾十年。
老外很愛用decades十年，即使不是像這裏是不確定的年份的情況，三十年也會說是three decades而不是thirty years。

【2】Above all, the law.
翻譯：法律是他們最看重的。
above all表示最重要的是，跟我們平時寫作用這個詞組不一樣，這裏是用來修飾前面半句裏的respect for。

【3】we keep the existence of our kind a secret.
翻譯：保守我類存在的祕密。
keep sth a secret 保守祕密

【4】She'll come for me one day
翻譯：總有一天她會來找我。
come for sb. 爲某人而來。或者也有說come for sth.的，come for tea就是來喝茶。

【5】You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am
翻譯：你是我活着的唯一理由，如果我還算是活着的話。
因爲其實吸血鬼並不是真的alive，算是個活死人，所以說if that's what I am。
