影片对白

Truman’s mother: It doesn't sound insane at all, Truman. I see him ten times a week in 100 different places. I almost hugged a perfect stranger in the salon last Thursday.

Truman: It was Dad, I swear. Dressed like a homeless man. And you know what else was strange? A businessman and a woman with a little dog came out of nowhere and forced him onto a bus.

Truman’s mother: Well, it’s about time they cleaned up the trash downtown before we become just like the rest of the country.

Truman: They never found Dad's body. Maybe somehow…

Truman’s mother: God!

Truman: I’m telling you if it wasn't him, it was his twin! Did Dad have a brother?

Truman’s mother: Truman, you know perfectly well that your father was an only child. Just like you. Now Sweetie, you're just feeling bad because of what happened. You sailing off into that storm. But I’ve never blamed you, Truman. And I don't blame you now.

妙语佳句，活学活用

1. perfect stranger

“完全陌生的人”，这里的perfect 是“complete; thorough; utter 彻底的，完全的，全然的”意思，比如，a perfect fool 是指“十足的傻瓜”，可不是“完美的傻瓜”。

2. come out of nowhere

这个片语也写作 out of nowhere，意思是“suddenly, unexpectedly突然地，出乎意料地”，比如：Their team came out of nowhere and won the state championship. 他们的队伍不知从哪里冒出来的，还赢得了州冠军。

3. clean up the trash

Trash 是指“垃圾，废物”，clean up the trash 就是“清理垃圾、废物”。可是要注意一下，Truman 的老妈这里指的 trash可是“人”，所以这里就可以引申为“清理那些影响市容的东西（包括流浪汉、乞丐什么的）”，我想也可以用这个表达来描述我们“城管整理市容”的工作吧。

4. only child

“独生子”，也适用于我们计划生育下的“独生子”。
