Dialogue Script  对话原文

(in Tomorrowland)

Mom: What rides do you want to try here?

Tony: I want to go on Space Mountain!

Mom: Sorry, sweetie. I think you're too small for that ride.

Tony: No way! I'm already ten!

Mom: See. You have to be at least three-foot-four. You're two-foot-eight.

Tony: I hate being short for my age!

Mom: Don't worry. You'll grow to three feet by the end of the year. Let's go on the Astro Orbitor ride!

(After the ride)

Tony: I wanna go again, Mom!

Mom: Why don't we make rounds to the other areas and come back?

Tony: Oh, look! Space Ice! It's red and blue! I want some!

Mom: That might ruin your appetite. How about after lunch?

Tony: But I'm hungry now! Oh! There's a hot dog stand!

Mom: Sure, why not? I guess that can count as lunch.

Tony: I want two!

Mom: OK, but I bet your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

讲解：

1. 对话中，他们来到了Tomorrowland，明日乐园，是迪斯尼乐园中的一个主题公园。Tony想玩“太空山”，就是Space Mountain。但是妈妈说，Tony太小了，还不能玩。Tony不信，说No way! I'm already ten! 不可能！我都10岁了。No way! 在这里表示“不可能！”。

2. 妈妈指给Tony看告示牌，上面说身高至少要达到三英尺四英寸才能上去玩，而Tony只有2英尺8英寸高。Tony很生气，说I hate being short for my age! 我长的比同龄人矮，真讨厌！for one's age，表示“以某人的年龄来说，显得相当……”，这个句型常用来形容“行为举止”与同龄的人有差异。比如说，要表达“你比同龄人成熟/聪明”，我们就可以说，You're so mature /smart for your age. 但是一般来说呢，for one's age常用在表示比同龄者表现差的情形，比如说，--Haha! That's so funny! --That's mean. Aren't you acting a little immature for your age? --哈哈！真是太好玩了！--那很不好。都这把年纪了，你不觉得自己太不成熟了吗？

3. 妈妈安慰Tony说，不用担心，到年底他就会有3英尺高了，现在他们要去玩Astro Orbitor，就是“太空轨道车”，跟前面的Space Mountain一样，都是明日乐园里面的游乐设施。Tony觉得还没有过瘾，还想再玩一遍，这时妈妈说，他们可以到其他游乐区兜一圈再回来。make rounds的意思是“照着顺序走完一遍”，也可以说do the rounds或者go on the rounds.

4. 这时Tony突然看见了有卖“太空冰”的，Space Ice，是一种在明日乐园里卖的冷饮。I want some! 就表示“我想要一点”。但是妈妈不同意说，现在吃冰会害Tony没有胃口吃午饭的，不过可以午饭过后再吃。Tony又看见了卖热狗的摊子，就想吃一个热狗，妈妈说没问题，因为热狗可以当作午饭了，count as表示“算得上是，可以称作是”。

5. Tony真是非常饿了，说想吃两个热狗，妈妈笑他说，OK, but I bet your eyes are bigger than your stomach. 我敢确定你是眼睛大，肚子小，一定吃不了。这句话还是挺形象的。
