好萊塢電影口語模仿秀:《女人香》Schools
NO.5
Scent of A Woman《女人香》
■ 校長查斯克先生把查理留下，要他說出那天鬧劇的主謀者。查斯克的語言修養很好，所用的詞語和句式不同與一般的街市俗人，話中有話，其中不泛威逼利誘。然而這一套在堅定的查理面前絲毫未有影響。在這段對話中我們可以學到很多學校裏的專有名詞。

查斯克先生：希姆斯先生，威里斯先生。韓塞克女士說昨晚你們兩位先生清楚地看到了這場鬧劇的主犯。他是誰？
喬治•威里斯：先生，我真的不能告訴你。我想我是看見有人在玩燈柱，但正想再看清楚一點，他們就不見了。
查斯克：希姆斯先生？
查裏•希姆斯：我不能說。
查斯克：那輛車不僅僅是我的私人財產。那輛車是理事會的贈品。這是我們這所學校之所以聞名的美德標準的象徵，我不會讓它受到玷污。
威里斯：那輛車？
查斯克：是標準，威里斯先生。希姆斯先生，你是什麼立場？
查裏：先生，關於什麼？
查斯克：關於保持貝爾德學校的名譽。
查裏：我支持貝爾德。
查斯克：那麼是誰幹的？
查裏：我真的說不清。
查斯克：很好。第一件事，星期一早上我會召開教職員工學生紀律委員會的特別會議。由於事關整所學校，所以所有學生都要出席。全校停課。停止任何活動。在會議結束之前，不做任何其他事情。如果到那時候，比起現在來我們還沒有任何進展的話，我會開除你們二位。希姆斯先生。我和你還沒有談完。這個職位擁有的少數特權之一就是我有權單獨處理一些事務，如果我覺得合適的話。你明白嗎？
查裏：是的，先生。
查斯克：好。哈弗招生辦主任和我有個協議。在貝爾德提交的正常申請者名單上，這其中三分之二的人保證招收入學，我加了一個名字。這個人出類拔萃，家境不如其他人好，他負擔不起劍橋大學的食宿費和學費。你知道今年我爲誰起草了一份推薦材料嗎？
查裏：不知道，先生。
查斯克：你。是你，希姆斯先生。現在可以告訴我是誰了吧？
查裏：不，先生，我不能。
查斯克：這個週末你好好想想，希姆斯先生。祝你下午開心。
句子模仿秀
通常在生活中，需要提醒對方我的話還沒說完。說法會有很多種，如：I’m not over. I would like to continue my talk. 本句也是其中一種，但要注意的是這句話的語氣比較嚴厲。用在上下級或是糾紛事件中比較多。
