看美剧学英语《邪恶力量》细说从头

Dean: All right, here we go. So dad was checking out this two-lane blacktop outside of Jericho, California. About a month ago this guy, they found his car but he'd vanished, completely M.I.A.

Sam: So maybe he was kidnapped.

Dean: Yeah well, here's another one in April another one in December '04, '03, '98, '92. Ten of them over the past 20 years, all men, all same 5-mile stretch of road. Started happening more and more so dad went to go dig around. That was about three weeks ago. I hadn't heard from him since, which is bad enough. Then I get this voicemail yesterday.

Dad on voicemail: Dean, something is starting to happen, I think it's serious. I need to try to figure out what's going on. Be very careful Dean, we're all in danger.

Sam: You know there's EVP on that?

Dean: Not bad, Sammy. Kind of like riding a bike isn't it? All right. I slowed the message down, and ran it through a Gold Wave took out the hiss, and this is what I got.

Woman on voicemail: I can never go home.

Sam: Never go home.

Dean: You know in almost two years I've never bothered you. Never asked you for a thing.

Sam: All right. I'll go. I'll help you find him. But I have to get back first thing Monday. Just wait here.

Dean: What's first thing Monday?

Sam: I have this...I have an interview.

Dean: What, a job interview? Skip it.

Sam: It's a law-school interview, and it's my whole future on a plate.

Dean: Law school?

Sam: So we got a deal or not?

1. 【two-lane blacktop】双车道板油路

2. 【M.I.A.】下落不明，完整版是missing in action

3. 【EVP】全称Electronic Voice Phenomena，电子音频现象，该设备可以灵敏的侦查到不同的电子活动，从而感知到灵异物体的存在与否。为其提供理论支持的是，死者可以通过对电子设备进行静电干扰或白噪音的形式与生者沟通。白噪音即【white noise】是指宽频带内幅度均为随机的一类声波，经常用于测试音响的谐振和灵敏度。该片段中的语音留言听起来受到强烈干扰，很可能是由于灵异现象的介入，于是这里用一种叫Gold Wave的音频编辑软件将白噪音分离出来，加以调整后，果然得到另一个声音文件。

4. 【on a plate】现成的，摆在眼前的。
