精彩對白
Wilson: Oh my god, what's happening out there?
Adrian: Anheuser convinced the other heads of state to launch. Mr. Anheuser. We have to stop this madness. Make sure the other bridges can see me.
Anheuser: What do you think you're doing?
Adrian: I know exactly what I'm doing. Ladies and Gentleman, this is Dr. Adrian Helmsley. Chief science adviser to the late President Wilson.
Woman: Could you please turn up the volume, Mr. Hoffman.
Adrian: I know we've all been forced to make difficult decisions to save our human civilization. But to be human means to care for each other and civilization means to work together to create a better life. If that's true, then there's nothing human and nothing civilized about what we're doing here.
Anheuser: Dr. Helmsley's passion is admirable. But I remind you that we have very limited resources and extremely limited time.
Adrian: Ask yourselves, can we really stand by and watch these people die? I read a quote two days ago. The author is probably dead by now. But he said: "The moment we stop fighting for each other, that's the moment that we lose our humanity"
Anheuser: And in order to save the human race, we have the obligation to stick to this plan which every nation on this flotilla signed up for. They're in God's hands now. Officer, you turn that off. That is an order, sailor. Turn it off!
Man: Don't you dare touch that button, young man!
Anheuser: Have you completely lost your mind? Look at the clock! We have barely 15 minutes left! Do you want to be responsible for the extinction of the human race? Can you handle that, Adrian?
Adrian: There's a young astrophysicist from India who's the reason we are all here.
Anheuser: Oh, for God's sake.
Adrian: He's the one who discovered it all. He connected all the dots, we all owe him our lives. I just learned that he was killed with his family in a Tsunami in eastern India. He was my friend. And he died in vain. Everybody out there has died in vain. If we start our future with an act of cruelty, what will you tell your children?
Wilson: If my father were here, he would open the gates.
Heads of states: The people of Russia along with...China and Japan. Agree to open the gates! The United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany, and I believe I may also speak for the Italian Prime Minister: We vote to let these people come in.
Adrian: Captain Michaels. Please.
Captain: This is your Captain. In a few moments, we will open the gates.
妙語佳句 活學活用
1. bridge: 艦橋。
艦橋位于軍艦前桅的正前方，是操艦和指揮作戰的地方。如果把軍艦比喻成一個人的話，那么機艙就是軍艦的心臟，管系則是血管和神經系統，而艦橋則是軍艦的神經中樞——大腦。
除了常見的做名詞的用法外，bridge還可以做動詞，表示“渡過、架橋”。例如：Politeness will bridge over many difficulties.（舉止文雅會使你渡過許多難關。）
2. late: 已故的.
例如：The architecture is built in memory of the late leader.（這座建筑是為了紀念這位已故的領導人。）
此外，我們還可以用deceased表示“已故的”。
3. stand by: 袖手旁觀。
在上期中，我們介紹了stand by作為“待命”的用法。上文中stand by的意思是“袖手旁觀”，例如：How can you stand by and let him treat his dog like that?（他那樣虐待他那只狗，你怎么能袖手旁觀呢？）
4. the human race：人類的統稱。
5. flotilla：小型船隊，小艦隊。
例如：We go flotilla cruise in the Aegean.（我們隨小船隊漫游了愛琴海。）
此外，我們還常用fleet和armada來表示“艦隊”。
6. astrophysicist：天體物理學家，研究宇宙空間的物理結構和原理。
7. for God's sake：看在上帝份上，拜托。
例如：For god's sake, please stop singing that song again.（拜托，別再唱那首歌了。）
而for sake of則表示“為了……起見”，例如：She gave him back the money she'd stolen for the sake of her conscience.（為了不受良心的譴責，她把從他那偷來的錢還給他了。）
8.in vain: 徒勞，無效。在這里是指發現世界末日到來的科學家沙南“白白地死了?！?/p>
例如：I sought to persuade him, but in vain.（我試圖說服他，但完全沒用。）
