体格魁梧、名成利就,作为波士顿橄榄球队的超级巨星,乔·金曼享受着快乐自由的黄金单身汉生活。然而有一天,一个名叫佩顿的小女孩将他的世界彻底改变。面对“捣蛋鬼”佩顿每天惹出的大难题,连号称“国王”的乔都被折磨得焦头烂额—也就在这个过程中,从个性到喜好都相差天南地北的两人逐渐体会到甜酸苦辣俱全的家庭滋味……
能够蝉联美国票房冠军数周,《比赛计划》靠的并不单单是迪斯尼式的温情脉脉或者美国大片式的热血励志。这是一部没深度很简单的电影,问的不过是我们常常问自己、问别人的一个问题—What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?
其实,绝大多数时候,人生最美好的事情往往就是最下里巴人、最习以为常的东西—也许是那一次邂逅;也许是那一场比赛;也许,就是每天看见的那张笑脸……
1 乔的家门前出现了一位不速之客——他以为只是遇到要签名的粉丝,岂料这个小女生带来了一个爆炸性的消息……
Peyton: You have a bulldog! Come here, boy! Boy,
you’re cute!
Joe: Yep, whoa…easy, easy! He’s a very vicious[危险的] attack dog.
Peyton: Yeah. He’s going to lick[舔] me to death.
Joe: Listen, you just can’t come walking into strangers’ homes like this. There’re a lot of weirdoes[怪人] out there in the world. Didn’t your mom ever teach you that?
Peyton: Yeah.
Joe: Well, where’s she?
Peyton: On an airplane.
Joe: On an airplane? Well, who are you here with?
Peyton: My father.
Joe: Well, you’d better go get him, because I’m sure he’s looking for you.
Peyton: He’s not looking for me.
Joe: How do you know?
Peyton: Because…he’s looking AT me.
Joe: …What?
Peyton: Hi, we’ve never met before. You were married to my mom, Sara. Sara Kelly? My name is Peyton. I’m your daughter.
佩顿:你养了一只斗牛犬!过来,好孩子!你长得真可爱!
乔:没错,喔……悠着点,悠着点!他可是只攻击性很强的狗。
佩顿:是啊,他会把我舔死的。
乔:瞧,你可不能这样随随便便闯进陌生人的家里。这个世界上坏人可多了。你妈妈没有教过你吗?
佩顿:有。
乔:你妈妈在哪里?
佩顿:在飞机上。
乔:飞机上?那……你和谁在一起?
佩顿:我爸爸。
乔:那你最好去找他,因为我肯定他正在找你。
佩顿:他没有在找我。
乔:你怎么知道?
佩顿:因为……他正看着我。
乔:……什么?
佩顿:你好,我们从没见过面。你和我的妈妈萨拉结过婚。萨拉·凯利?我的名字叫
佩顿,我是你的女儿。

2 佩顿彻底破坏了乔的约会,乔恼火地将女儿撵进屋……
Joe: Bed. Now.
Peyton: I’m not even tired.
Joe: Well, I am. Go to bed.
Peyton: To think you walked out on[遗弃] my mom just to hang around with the sorry likes of[……的一类人] that…
Joe: What did you just say?
Peyton: To think you walked...
Joe: I didn’t walk out on your mom! She walked out on me!
Peyton: Oh, really? ’Cause she said you were self-centered, and selfish, and that everything always had to be about you. She said your head was so swollen she was
surprised they made a helmet[头盔] big enough to fit.
Joe: She said that?
Peyton: And more.
Joe: You know, it’s all coming back to me. Of course! Everything! All the talking and the arguing and the
complaining! And you know what? You’re just like her!
Peyton: Oh, yeah?
Joe: Yeah! You think you’re right about…everything! Just like her!
Peyton: What else?
Joe: You scrunch[把……揉成团] your nose when you get
angry! Just like her!
Peyton: Keep it coming!
Joe: You’re always working on me with those…those big brown eyes...well, I actually like that – it’s really cute. But it doesn’t matter, ’cause it’s just like her!
Peyton: Is that all you got?
Joe: And then you get inside people’s minds, and you drive them crazy! Just like her!
Peyton: Well, at least I got a mind, because if I didn’t, I’d
be JUST…LIKE…YOU!
Joe: Well, I’m lucky, because as far as I’m
concerned[就我看来], you are nothing like me!
Peyton: Good! Because I am sick of it here!
Joe: What…what do you want from me? (Peyton screams and runs back to her room.) Don’t turn your back on me, little lady! Tell me what you want!
Peyton: My mom!
乔:睡觉。现在就去。
佩顿:我还不累。
乔:我很累。睡觉去。
佩顿:一想到你居然为了和那么糟糕的女人在一起而抛弃我妈妈……
乔:你说什么?
佩顿:一想到你抛……
乔:我没有抛弃你妈妈!是她抛弃我的!
佩顿:哦,真的吗?因为她说你老以自我为中心,又自私,全世界都要绕着你转似的。她说你那自负的脑袋涨得那么大,她很奇怪他们竟能造出这么一顶大头盔来容下它。
乔:她真的这么说?
佩顿:还不止这些呢。
乔:你知道,我全都想起来了。确实!所有的一切!那些喋喋不休、吵吵嚷嚷和抱怨连天!知道吗?你和她简直就是一个模子出来的!
佩顿:哦,是吗?
乔:没错!你认为自己……总是正确的!简直和她一模一样!
佩顿:还有呢?
乔:你生气时会皱起小鼻子!简直和她一模一样!
佩顿:继续说啊!
乔:你老是瞪我,用那……那双棕色的大眼睛……呃,其实我挺喜欢的——真可爱。但这没关系,因为你简直和她一模一样!
佩顿:就这些?
乔:而且你老是钻到别人的脑子里,能把人活活气死!简直和她一模一样!
佩顿:哦,至少我有脑子,要是没有的话,我就会像——你——这——样!
乔:哦,那可真走运,因为依我看,你根本不像我!
佩顿:好极了!因为我在这儿受够了!
乔:你……你到底想我怎么样?(佩顿尖叫,跑回房间。)不许无视我,小姑娘!告诉我你想怎样!
佩顿:我要妈妈!

这是本次原声选段的重点掌握内容。这场矛盾激烈、声情并茂的吵架相当适合有表演欲的同学进行role-play哦。模仿熟练之后,和你的搭档试着把这场交锋表演出来,之后再听原声,看看哪里需要改进。
练习时,不妨留意一下佩顿的台词。平时在催问别人的时候,我们最常用的说法就是:“Anything else?”但人家说话可是很有技巧的,从“Oh, yeah?”、“What else?”、“Keep it coming!”到“Is that all you got?”,层层递进,掷地有声,将一个鬼灵精的小女孩表现得淋漓尽致。
3 为了弥补之前的吵架,乔带着佩顿和她在芭蕾舞校的同学出去玩——身处小女生的包围,尴尬无比的他只好向佩顿的芭蕾舞老师求助……
Joe: Thank you for saving me.
Monique: You’re welcome.
Joe: Totally out of my league. Only mothers can do this stuff.
Monique: Oh, not necessarily. I mean, it’s true that mothers are definitely smarter and kinder and funnier, and for the most part of the better at everything. But can I tell you something? I wouldn’t underestimate[低估] the power of the father.
Joe: “The power of the father”?
Monique: Sure. Dads are great for picking you up and dusting you off. They give you the courage to do things that you never thought you could. My father took me to my first ballet class.
Joe: Lucky for us he did.
(Weeks later, before the open night.)
Peyton: (peers through the curtain) Full house…oh, no…
Joe: Hey.
Peyton: You know, Joe, I’m not feeling so good. We should just go home. Yeah, let’s go home.
Joe: Did I just hear the girl who forced me to learn
pirouettes[足尖旋转] give up?
Peyton: But…I didn’t think there were going to be so many people.
Joe: You just have pre-game jitters[紧张].
That’s all. All athletes have those. Even me.
Peyton: You do?
Joe: Come here, honey. Stand up. We’ve worked way too hard to quit now.
Peyton: I know.
Joe: (shows Peyton his funny costume) All right, all right, all right. Listen, I don’t care how ridiculous[可笑的] either of us looks out there, okay? We’re going to go out on the stage, and we’re going to dance our tutus[芭蕾舞短裙]
off, ’cause my daughter’s no quitter.
Peyton: No, she’s not.
Joe: And she never says no.
乔:谢谢你救了我。
莫妮卡:不用客气。
乔:我完全不在行。只有妈妈能应付得来。
莫妮卡:哦,这倒不一定。我是说,妈妈的确更聪明、更亲切,也更风趣,而且在大多数方面都更出色。但告诉你吧,我不会低估父亲的力量。
乔:“父亲的力量”?
莫妮卡:当然。爸爸很伟大,他们懂得将你扶起来,帮你拍掉身上的灰尘——帮你收拾残局,重新开始。他们让你有勇气去做一些你自己不敢想像的事情。我的第一节芭蕾舞课就是爸爸带我去的。
乔:幸好他这么做了。
(数周后,芭蕾舞校汇演前。)
佩顿:(透过幕布偷看)满屋子的人……哦,不……
乔:嘿。
佩顿:你知道,乔,我不太舒服。我们还是回家好了。没错,我们回家吧。
乔:我该不会听见那个逼我学足尖旋转的女孩说放弃了吧?
佩顿:但……我没想到会有这么多人。
乔:你只是怯场。没什么大不了的,所有运动员都会怯场,连我也会。
佩顿:你也会?
乔:过来,宝贝。站起来。我们努力了这么久,不能就此放弃。
佩顿:我知道。
乔:(给佩顿看他那身可笑的表演服)好好好。听好,我可不在乎我们站到外面有多可笑,好吧?我们要上台,我们会跳到舞裙都要掉下来为止,因为我的女儿不会轻言放弃。
佩顿:没错,她不会。
乔:而且她永远不会说“不行”。

一些英美影视之所以经典,其中一个很大的原因就在于它们善于运用一语双关之类等语手法,让其台词更加生动形象、耐人寻味。比如上一段里标出的“your head was so swollen”,这句话从“swollen head”(自高自大)这个习语变化而来,而融入语境时又能切合其字面意思。而这一段里的“picking you up and dusting you off”,字面上描述了父爱的关怀备至,细细体味下又能发现其中巧妙地融合了“pick sth. up”(收拾,整理)和“dust sth. off”(备好待用)的意味。
4 “超级碗”决赛前,佩顿为了不拖累乔而离开,乔因此状态大跌,比赛时更被对手撞成重伤——正当他在休息室独自难过时,佩顿突然出现了……
Peyton: You see, I thought you’d be better off[过得更好] without me. But judging by the butt[撞]-whopping[重击] you got out there, I guess I was wrong. I love you, Daddy. I wanna come home.
Joe: I love you too, Peyton. I love you so much.
Peyton: So, why aren’t you out there playing?
Joe: I thought the team would be better off without me.
Peyton: I didn’t come all this way to see my dad sit
out[坐着看不参加] the big game.
Joe: I’m really banged up[监禁,此处指无法上场], P.
Peyton: Did I just hear the King give up? We’ve worked way too hard for you to throw in the towel now. My dad’s
not a quitter. And he never says no.
(As they walk to the stadium, Joe remembers the question Peyton kept asking before.)
Joe: I have an answer to your question, P. Win or lose today, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
佩顿:你知道,我以为没有我你会表现得更好。不过从你在外面被撞得这么惨的表现看来,我想我搞错了。我爱你,爸爸。我想回家。
乔:我也爱你,佩顿。很爱很爱你。
佩顿:那你为什么不出去比赛呢?
乔:我觉得没有我球队会打得更好。
佩顿:我这么大老远跑来可不是为了看我爸爸在这么重要的比赛上坐冷板凳。
乔:我真的没办法上场,P。
佩顿:我该不会听见“国王”说放弃了吧?我们努力了这么久,不能就此撒手不管。我爸爸不会轻言放弃。而且他永远不会说
“不行”。
(两人走向体育馆时,乔想起佩顿以前一直问自己的问题。)
乔:我知道怎么回答你的问题了,P。今天无论输赢,我经历过的最美好的事儿——就是你。
