【電影片段臺詞】
- Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within.
And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there.【重點詞彙講解】
1. he had everything his heart desired 他擁有一切心儀之物
中文裏的“心儀”正好對應英語中的heart-desired，那麼“心儀之物”就是what one's heart desires
2. for beauty is found within 美在內心，而非外表
要表達“內在美”的含義時，就可以用the beauty within這個說法^^
3. dismiss
dismiss有“解散”的意思，出操結束後體育老師喊的“解散”，就是“Dismiss！”，這個詞還可以表達“解僱；趕走，攆走”的意思
4. placed a powerful spell on the castle
spell就是咒語，對某人下咒，就是place a spell on。形容詞spell-bound就是表示“神魂顛倒”的含義。
