刚订婚不久的乌玛·瑟曼很大方地承认自己曾经发誓不会再结婚是错误的决定。主演过《杀死比尔》的乌玛·瑟曼在03年同与她合作过的伊桑·霍克分手后,曾经①决定不再②步入婚姻殿堂。她之前还同《哈利·波特》中哈利教父的扮演者加里·奥德曼结过婚。然而,在宣布与亿万富商Arpad Busson订婚之后的首词公开发言中,乌玛·瑟曼宣称她很高兴自己③违背了她自己所说的。她说:“我要收回我之前‘绝不再结婚’的话。我不得不④食言了——好惊讶吧!”
【NOTES】
①rule out: 拒绝考虑,把…排除在外。“规定出去”,就是“不予考虑”,好记吧?
②walk down the aisle: 步入婚姻殿堂。我原以为aisle是婚礼红毯的意思,结果查了一下居然是“过道”的意思,想想也是,电影里面老外在教堂里举行婚礼的时候,新娘们不是都要走过观众席(?)中间的走廊么?
③go back on: 不履行,违背。不是“走回去”,而是“背对着”——这样就好记了吧?
④eat one's words: 收回说过的话,承认前言有失,说错了。中文里面惯有的说法是“食言”,也就是违背诺言的意思。英文里面eat one's words却并不是那么直接的字面上“食言”的意思,而是收回说过的话,有一点点认错的意思,带有感情色彩。所以同“食言”不一样,要注意哟!
