托福美文赏从日出到午夜爱在美文中传递

从日出到午夜，爱在美文中共赏。

今天Sasha想跟大家分享的是Celine 和Jesse 在Greece旅游时候的 一个对话，他们回顾起当年在火车上一见钟情的情节，于是Celine 问了一个问题， 开启了理性主义者和浪漫主义者的对话：

九年前，杰西（伊桑·霍克 Ethan Hawke 饰）与席琳（朱莉·德尔佩 Julie Delpy 饰）在火车上不期而遇，怦然心动。在维也纳渡过疯狂而又浪漫的一夜后，他们在日出前分手，并相约在维也纳重逢。九年之后，杰西已成为畅销书作家，席琳则是法国环保组织成员。杰西在新书里娓娓道来的，正是九年前的浪漫夜晚。在巴黎促销新书时，杰西与席琳在书店相遇，然而他们只有一下午的时光相处... 

•Celine: Hey… Can I ask you a question? （通常这句话并不是请求许可，而是表达一种礼貌和别人对你问的问题有个准备）

•Jesse: Sure.

•Celine: If we were meeting for the first time today on a train, would you find me attractive? ( 这句话是虚拟语气，find sb attractive, 认为/觉得某人很有魅力，同学们可以继续替换成find sb charming, find sb smart等等)

•Jesse: Of course. 

•Celine: No, but really right now as I am. Would you start talking to me? Would you ask me to get off the train with you?

•Jesse: I mean you're asking a theoretical question(假设的问题). I mean what would my life-situation(生活状况) be? Technically(从理论上来讲), it would not be cheating on you? 

•Celine: Ok, why can not you just say yes? •Jesse: I did, I said, of course. 

•Celine: no no no, I wanted to say something romantic and you blew it(你搞砸了), ok?

•Jesse: Ok, ok…if I saw you on a train. Ok, listen, I would lock my eyes withyou(目不转睛的盯着某人,就是我们经常说的眼神无法离开你). And then I would walk right up to you and say hey baby, you are making me as horny as a Billy goat in a pepper patch（这个习惯用语的意思就是lustful, 解释起来有点不好意思.）

•Celine: Stop! That’s disgusting! Billy goat? No, the truth is that you failed the test and the fact is that you would not pick me up on the train. You would not even notice me, a fat-ass, middle –aged mom losing her hair（一个肥臀掉发的中年妇女，这个描述形象吧，哈哈哈）…Yeah, that's me. 

•Jesse: Ok, you set me up (有设计，出卖) to fail. You did, alright? But in the real world, baby , ok, on game day, when it mattered, I did, talk to you on the train. I did that and it was the best thing I ever did.
