光看美剧学英文是不够滴!^o^口语也要扎实学

8.
Sam: What coordinates do we have?
Roy: {Pulls out GPS} 35-111.
——我们在什么方位?coordinate指坐标,这里用复数,我想是说有经纬两个坐标轴的缘故。而回答中的数字,前者表示北纬north latitude后者表示西经west longitude

9. We never should have let you come out here in the first place.
——in the first place起初,首先

10. No you’re not fine, you’re like a powder keg man it’s not like you. I’m supposed to be the belligerent one, remember?
——形容人易怒的两个方法,a powder keg man 火药桶一样的人; belligerent man 好斗的人。

11. I mean this search could take a while, and all that anger, you can’t keep it burning over the long haul, it’s gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man.
——keep anger burning 怒火中烧的很形象的表达。
——over the long haul 长远的,从长远观点看

12. 高级捉鬼理论——
Wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or northern Michigan. Think about it, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice. Anasazi symbols, it’s for protection. The wendigo can’t cross over them. They’re hundreds of years old. Each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, other times a frontiersman or a miner or a hunter. During some harsh winter a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe or camp, like the Donnor Party. Cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality. If you eat enough of it, over years, you become this less than human thing. You’re always hungry. More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it’s awake it keeps it’s victims alive. It uh, stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother’s alive it’s keeping him somewhere dark, hidden and safe. We gotta track it back there. Well guns are useless so are knives, basically we gotta torch the sucker.
——此段是对话改制而成,介绍了一种生物wendigo. 这是出自北美神话中的雪怪温迪歌。这种生物可以是人转换而成的。Wendigo这个词除了指这种食人族之外,还指这种食人的信仰。
——Anasazi 北美原住民文化阿纳萨齐文化
——Donnor Party,是指19世纪40年代的西方入殖热潮中,一群入殖于加利福尼亚州的移民。在1846-1847年的冬天,由于积雪,他们为了保存生命开始食用人肉。
——大意是,雪怪有爪子,可以模仿人声。但是他无法进入画有阿纳萨奇图文的领地。他们曾经也是人类,有些是印第安人,或者住在边境的人,或者矿工,猎手。在严寒中为了求生开始食用同伴的肉。世界上的很多文化中都认为食人可以让人获得很多能力,比如速度,力量,永生。食人族们会渐渐丧失人性。由于曾经经受过食物短缺的危机,温迪歌非常愿意圈养受害者于阴暗处,以备过冬之需。枪和刀都杀不死他们,只能用大火烧死他们。

13. We’ll never outrun it.
——outrun比谁跑得快

14. Must you cheapen the moment?
——你一定要贬低这一刻么?(本来人家要好好感谢Dean,可是他却用打哈哈的方式破坏了这个气氛。)
