【电影片段台词】
- 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.
【重点词汇讲解】
1. he had everything his heart desired 他拥有一切心仪之物
中文里的“心仪”正好对应英语中的heart-desired，那么“心仪之物”就是what one's heart desires
2. for beauty is found within 美在内心，而非外表
要表达“内在美”的含义时，就可以用the beauty within这个说法^^
3. dismiss
dismiss有“解散”的意思，出操结束后体育老师喊的“解散”，就是“Dismiss！”，这个词还可以表达“解雇；赶走，撵走”的意思
4. placed a powerful spell on the castle
spell就是咒语，对某人下咒，就是place a spell on。形容词spell-bound就是表示“神魂颠倒”的含义。
