影片对白

Gingy: Yup. He croaked.

Queen: Harold?

Fiona: Dad?

King: I'd hoped you'd never see me like this.

Donkey: And he gave you a hard time.

Shrek: Donkey!

King: No, no, he's right. I'm sorry, to both of you. I only wanted what was best for Fiona. But I can see now she already has it. Shrek, Fiona... Will you accept an old frog's apologies... and my blessing?

Queen: Harold?

King: I'm sorry, Lillian. I just wish I could be the man you deserve.

Queen: You're more that man today than you ever were... warts and all.

Puss: Boss! The Happily Ever After Potion!

Shrek: Midnight! Fiona. Is this what you want? To be this way forever?

Fiona: What?

Shrek: Because if you kiss me now... we can stay like this.

Fiona: You'd do that? For me?

Shrek: Yes.

Fiona: I want what any princess wants. To live happily ever after... with the ogre I married.

Puss: Whatever happens, I must not cry! You cannot make me cry!

Donkey: No. No, no. Aaah! Ow. Oh, no.

Shrek: Hey. You still look like a noble steed to me.

Fiona: Now, where were we?

Shrek: Oh. I remember.

Puss: Hey! Isn't we supposed to be having a fiesta?

妙词佳句,活学活用

1. yup=yes
非常口语的用法。其实它是从yes转变而来的,只不过是在非常随意或说话速度比较快的情况下我们所得到的变体,就好像want to=wanna是一样的。而除此之外,在说no的时候,我们也会习惯说成是nope!

2.croak
有两种用法:
A:呱呱的叫,如:The frog croaks.
B: 俚语用法,指……被杀了就可以说成是:Somebody croaked。

3.warts and all
意思是"尽管有各种缺点和瑕疵"。而在这里需要注意的是,习惯上warts and all 是放在句子最后面的。比如:"尽管你有很多缺点,我们还是很喜欢你。"就可译为:We still like you for what you are, warts and all.

思想火花

不可否认,自2003年开始,这部梦工场的年度大碟一直在不断的送给观众各种各样的惊喜。从Fiona不可思议的爱上Shrek,到donkey委身下嫁给dragon,情节一直出人意外。

而在Shrek2中,面对着自己的白马王子,Fiona还是毅然决定要找回她的珍爱Shrek。更不可思议的是,在本部影片的结尾,两位主人公居然放弃美貌,宁可伴着怪物的美名度过他们的余生。

整部影片的剧情真的可以称的上是跌宕起伏。而且这种起伏可是和平常的Disney影片大不相同。它打破了以往人们的传统观念:在童话故事中,只有王子和公主才会永远幸福的生活在一起。在Shrek2的结尾部分,我们可以感觉到导演想要传输给我们的不可击败的事实:谁说人丑就有罪过,谁说人丑就不会有真爱,只要两人用真诚去感动对方,用心去爱对方,任何人都可以爱得很精彩!
