☀☪★ 暮光之城精彩台词片段★☪☀

- The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family. I guess they're the closest thing to royalty my world has.
- Is that Carlisle?
- Yeah.
- He lived with them for a few decades. Described them as very refined. No respect for human life, of course, but a respect for the arts and the sciences, at least. And the law. Above all, the law.
- Vampires have laws?
- Not very many. And only one that's regularly enforced.
- What is it?
- That we keep the existence of our kind a secret. We don't make spectacles of ourselves, and we don't kill conspicuously. Unless, of course, you want to die.
- You gotta stop talking about that. I can't even think about someone hurting you.
- Bella, the only thing that can hurt me is you. And I don't have anything else to be afraid of.
- That's not true.
- Victoria? She'll come for me one day. Alice will see when she decides, and we'll be ready.
- I could protect you if you change me.
- Bella, you already do protect me. You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am. But it's my job to protect you. From everyone except my sister.☀☪★ 暮光之城详细英语口语学习笔记★☪☀

【1】He lived with them for a few decades.
翻译：他同他们在一起过了几十年。
老外很爱用decades十年，即使不是像这里是不确定的年份的情况，三十年也会说是three decades而不是thirty years。

【2】Above all, the law.
翻译：法律是他们最看重的。
above all表示最重要的是，跟我们平时写作用这个词组不一样，这里是用来修饰前面半句里的respect for。

【3】we keep the existence of our kind a secret.
翻译：保守我类存在的秘密。
keep sth a secret 保守秘密

【4】She'll come for me one day
翻译：总有一天她会来找我。
come for sb. 为某人而来。或者也有说come for sth.的，come for tea就是来喝茶。

【5】You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am
翻译：你是我活着的唯一理由，如果我还算是活着的话。
因为其实吸血鬼并不是真的alive，算是个活死人，所以说if that's what I am。
