Hi,可可网友们大家好。最近似乎明星们都在扎堆儿结婚，Rose也凑下热闹，从本期开始，带着大家一起看看电影里让人或感动，或捧腹又花样百出的求婚桥段。《新娘大作战》讲的是一对自小就形影不离的好友Liv和Emma,为了拥有最完美的婚礼反目成仇，从攀比婚礼的盛况、邀请的人数，到背后各使招数、翻脸不认人，谁都不肯让对方抢走风头的故事。我们将要听到得一段是说Liv发现了男友藏起的求婚戒指，紧张期待着那个时刻的到来。没成想Emma的男友却突然向她求婚抢了先。虽然是先发现了戒指，但求婚进程落了后，这让生性好强的Liv急不可耐的跑去找男友，上演了一幕逼婚的喜剧。
Liv: Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me! Honey! Will you just marry me, already?
(a colleague of Liv's boyfriend)Yeah. Okay.
Liv: Isn't that what you want? 'Cause it's what I want, and I just wanna know if you want to marry me. Don't you wanna get married?
Danis: Honey, can we talk about this later?
Liv: Oh, you changed your mind? I saw the Tiffany box in the closet. Right?
Danis: Uh—
Liv: Oh, my God. It's not a ring? If it's a key chain, I'm gonna kill myself, and I'm taking you down with me.
Danis: Oh.
Liv: Why can't you just tell me right here and right now? Is it something that you would want? Would you want—Would you want to get married?
Danis: You know what I will tell you? I have never met a more obnoxious, complicated, overbearing, gorgeous, smart, sexy woman in my life. And—if you had just waited until tonight—then you wouldn't be the woman I fell in love with, because she doesn't know how to wait. Will you hold that for a second?
(a colleague of Liv's boyfriend) Yeah.
Danis: Which is fine, as long as I get to spend the rest of my life...trying to catch up with her. Liv? Will you marry me?
Liv: Are you proposing?
Danis: Mmm.
Liv: Really? Honey, it's so out of nowhere.
Danis: Liv, shut up. Yes or no?
Liv: Yes. Yes.
Danis: Babe.
Liv: Yes.
Danis: This is not how I planned it.
Liv: Are you kidding? Oh!
(a colleague of Liv's boyfriend) I love "Bring Your Hot Girlfriend to Work" day.
(a colleague of Liv's boyfriend) Totally.
在得知朋友先被求婚后Liv急不可耐的跑去找Danis。进门就问 “Honey! Will you just marry me, already? 很多人会对already在这里的用法有点儿糊涂，already不是表示“已经”吗？不错，大部分时候它的确做这个意思讲，多用于现在完成时的句子中。比如I have already had my lunch. 我已经吃过午饭了。但是，在口语当中，already常被用来表示加强语气，特别是着急，不耐烦的语气，可以翻译为“立刻，马上”。再比如下面这个例子：All right all right so i'll talk to him already. 好吧好吧，我马上就和他谈。
紧接着，Liv又用了一个否定的一般疑问句Isn't that what you want? 一般疑问句用于询问信息，但是否定的一般疑问句却一般翻译为“难道……？”虽然形式是疑问句，但言外之意却表示赞同问话的内容。比如这句话，言外之意就是“这应该是你想要的”。这样的句子语法意义要远远弱于它的情感意义。再比如：Don't you think it’s a beautiful dress? 难道你不觉得这是件漂亮的礼服吗？言外之意就是，说话者认为这就是一件漂亮的礼服。
Liv告诉Danis自己已经看到了他藏的首饰盒，但说着说着自己也不确定起来，担心里面会是别的什么。于是说，如果是个钥匙链，就自杀，然后taking you down with me。很不光彩的死因，那就不能上天堂，而是下地狱。所以用了take you down，带着你一起下去。也就是我们常说的“拉垫背的。做鬼也不放过”之类的意思。
虽然意外，Danis还是郑重其事的向Liv求婚了。不过，他的求婚词儿却应了现在颇流行的“先抑后扬”。先是说对方是obnoxious，讨厌的，胡搅蛮缠的, complicated复杂的, overbearing狂妄自大，自我感觉良好的，接着转入gorgeous极好的。这个词在口语中经常使用，表达对某个美好事物的赞叹。另外还说Liv是 smart聪慧的, sexy性感的。一段话下来，可以从那么突然的转折里感受到Danis对Liv的宠爱。
虽然自己主动送上门来，但听过Danis的求婚，Liv还是兴奋不已的说Honey, it's so out of nowhere. Out of nowhere听过“布朗尼加分”口语的网友们对这个用法也许还有印象，它表示“突然出现”。在这里可以翻译为“太意外了！”
类似这样题材的喜剧片我们可以毫不担心它的结局。百分之百的happy ending。电影最后两个斗到婚礼上仪态尽失的新娘突然醒悟，重归于好，携手走入礼堂。恩，现实很残酷，偶尔到电影里寻找一些乐趣和温暖 Isn't it nice? OK，下期我们继续共享精彩求婚桥段。
