影片對白

Su-Chin: All babies want to get borned! All-

Juno: Hey Su-Chin.

Su-Chin: Oh. Hi, Juno. How are you?

Juno: You know, pretty solid. So did you, did you write that paper for Worth's class yet?

Su-Chin: No, not yet. I tried to work on it a little last night, but I’m having trouble concentrating.

Juno: I'll sell you some of my Adderall if you-

Su-Chin: No thanks, I'm off pills.

Juno: That's a wise choice 'cause I knew this girl, she had this crazy freakout. She took too many behavioral meds at once and she, she just like ripped off her clothes and dove into the fountain at Ridgedale Mall, it was like, “Blaaaaah! I’m a kraken from the sea!”

Su-Chin: I heard that was you.

Juno: It was good seeing you, Su-Chin.

Su-Chin: Your baby probably has a beating heart, you know? It can feel pain, and it has fingernails.

Juno: Fingernails? Really?

Woman: Welcome to Women Now, where women are trusted friends. Please put your hands where I can see them and surrender any bombs.

Juno: Hey, I’m here for the big show.

Woman: Your name, please?

Juno: Juno MacGuff. She thinks I’m using a fake name. Like Gene Simmons or Mother Teresa.

Woman:I need you to fill these out, both sides. Don’t skip any details. We need to know about every score and every sore.

妙語佳句，活學(xué)活用

1. Pretty solid

意思是“I’m OK/I’m fine”。

2. I’m having trouble concentrating.

“我集中不了精神?！焙芎糜玫囊痪淇谡Z。

3. Adderall

是一種治療注意力缺失/多動癥的藥。這種藥物可能會致癮，是《控制藥物法》中第二類目錄中的控制藥物。

4. I'm off pills.

“我已經(jīng)不再吃藥了”。在以前的影視英語中，我們曾經(jīng)遇到過“on pills”這種表達(dá)，意思就是“正在使用（某種）藥物”。

5. Behavioral med 指的是上文中的 Addall。

6. Surrender any bombs

美國有相當(dāng)多的人信仰宗教，反對墮胎的人很多。在美國有墮胎業(yè)務(wù)的診所，常有反對墮胎的人士抗議甚至搞破壞。所以前臺接待的護(hù)士說“surrender any bombs”，意思是說Juno不要來搞破壞。

7. Big show

指墮胎手術(shù)，Juno這里是在諷刺，用一種輕松的語調(diào)來描述“墮胎”這種大事。

8. Fake name 假名
