精彩对白

Jake: If you want to hit this thing, it's going to be complicated. Your scan doesn't show the internal structure. There's an outer row of columns, real heavy duty. There's a secondary ring here, and an inner ring. There's a core structure like a spiral. That's how they move up and down.

Colonel: We're gonna need accurate scans of every column.

Jake: Roger that.

Colonel: What else can you tell us about the structure?

Jake: I'm guessing this secondary ring, that's also load bearing. Where are we going?

Grace: Gettin out of Dodge. I'm not about to let Selfridge and Quaritch micro-manage this thing. There's a mobile link up as site 26, we can work out of, way up in the mountains.

Norm: The Hallelujah mountains?

Grace: That's right.

Norm: Are you serious?

Grace: Yeah.

Norm: Yes! The legendary floating mountains of Pandora, heard of them?

Grace: We're getting close.

Pilot: Yeah, look at my instruments.

Grace: We're in the flux vortex.

Pilot: VFR from here on.

Norm: What's VFR?

Pilot: Means you got to see where you're going.

Norm: You can't see anything.

Pilot: Exactly. Ain't that a bitch.

Pilot: Oh my God...

Pilot: You should see your faces. Thank you for flying Air Pandora.

Grace: Welcome to the camp. So, this is my bunk.

Pilot: This stuff is nasty. Norm, go under.

Jake: Grace didn't miss a thing. She knew I was talking to the Colonel. But I had what she needed, a way back in with the clan. So she's playing nice.

Grace: Alright. Jake, hang a left. You'll be in the link at the end. Unit 1, Beulah. She's the least glitchy.

Jake: Holy shit.

Neytiri: Do not look in her eye. Ikran is not horse. When Sa'helu is made...Ikran will fly well. Only one hunter in the whole life. To become Aron'yu, hunter...You must choose your own Ikran and he must choose you.

Jake: When?

Neytiri: When you are ready.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. heavy duty: 重型，重载。

我们平时说的“重型卡车”就可以用heavy duty truck来表示。

2. roger: 收到了，知道了。常用于无线电通讯，表示已听懂信息。

3. load bearing：承载，承重。

4. micro-manage：微观管理，面面俱到的管理。格蕾斯在这里的意思是“我才不要让他们什么都管”。

6. VFR：目视飞行规则，visual flight rules的缩写。

目视飞行时，驾驶员主要依靠视觉来判断和发现其它飞行物或地面障碍。此外，空中飞行规则还包括通用飞行规则和IFR（instrument flight rules仪表飞行规则）。

7. bunk：轮船、火车等的铺位。

Bunk bed则是指两张或三张单人床叠架设置，通常有扶梯，也就是我们常说的“上下铺”。

8. clan: 部落，宗族。在这里指纳美人村落。

例如：The whole clan is coming to stay with them at Christmas.他们那一大帮亲戚要在圣诞节期间来他们这里住。

此外，clan还可以表示“党派、小团体”。
