【语言点讲解】
①WISH= 这个动词后面跟过去式(或"would"):"I wish I wasn't afraid."(我希望我不会害怕。)
②PEOPLE= 在这句台词中,第一个”people“指的是“人”,最后一个“people”指的是“民族” (因为一个民族社会是由个人群体组成的)。所以第一个词是复数,第二个词是单数。
例句:
1- People here are very nice ( 1 person, 2 people) 这里的人们都很友善(1个人用“person”,2个人用“people”)
2- My people wants more freedom. All the peoples in the world need peace. 人民群众都想要更多的自由。全世界所有民族都需要和平。
③VIOLATION= Transgression(违反)(打破,违反纪律)
④CURFEW= 指在某一个时间后禁止人们在街道上活动的一项禁令。
⑤LENIENCY=(比较正式的用法)宽大处理。"Lenient"的反义词是“harsh, strict”(严格)[/cn]
⑥WE'RE WORKING ON SEVERAL LEADS= We have several lines of investigation; we are investigating different possibilities.
⑦FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH= 如果某些东西从地球表面上清除掉的话,那他们就消失了(可能被杀掉了),而且不可能再找回来。
⑧CODE NAME V= 一个代号叫“V”的人。单词“V”(等于罗马字符中的“5”)指的是11月5号(盖伊·福克斯被执行死刑的日子)。
⑨WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE= 如果你对某事“held accountable”的话,那就要对这件事有责任,并要因此付出代价。
⑩ON THE EDGE OF= 跟某物非常近,非常接近。。。
⑾OBLIVION= (正式用法)遗忘。如果某物“falls in oblivion”,那么它就被遗忘了,而且没有人记得它。在这里,总统害怕人们忘记了他们是多么地需要政府。
⑿VERDICT= 由法官或陪审团宣布的判决,判定一个犯人有罪与否及对其采取的处罚。
⒀VENGEANCE= 复仇(Revenge)。意大利语的“复仇”是"vendetta"。
