SHARON: Did you see the new Nicolas Cage movie?
DEREK: Which one?
SHARON: "Snake Eyes". I just saw it last night with my friend Sarah.
DEREK: No, I haven't seen it yet. But I saw "Con Air". I thought that was good.
SHARON: I think Nicolas Cage is great.
DEREK: Really? Why? He isn't very handsome.
SHARON: No, but he's got character. He can act with a lot of depth.
DEREK: It's interesting you like him so much.
Usually I think women don't like him. They like more handsome actors.
SHARON: That's not always true.
But I like some very handsome actors. Like Alec Baldwin.
But I don't like an actor just because he is handsome.
DEREK: Do you like Keanu Reeves?
SHARON: No, not at all.
DEREK: Why not?
SHARON: I just think he is a bad person. He seems very arrogant.
DEREK: Maybe it's the characters he plays. Maybe in real life he's a good guy.
SHARON: No, I think an actor often plays characters that match his real personality.
They are naturally better at such characters.
And I can sense something about Keanu Reeves. I don't like it. He seems like a jerk.
DEREK: Hmm. Maybe. So who is your favorite then?
SHARON: Nicolas Cage.
DEREK: I used to like Nicolas Cage more than I do now.
He used to play more interesting roles.
SHARON: What do you mean? What movies?
DEREK: Oh, my favorite Nicolas Cage movie was Wild at Heart.
He was perfect for that role.
SHARON: I saw "Wild at Heart". It was disgusting. I almost couldn't watch it.
DEREK: It was a kind of movie that they call black humor.
SHARON: Yes, I know.
Black humor is humor with a lot of violence or horrible things in it.
I don't like black humor.
DEREK: What about "Raising Arizona"? Did you see that?
SHARON: No.
DEREK: You must see it.
To me, that is the classic Nicolas Cage movie. He is perfect for it.
SHARON: I like his new movies.
DEREK: Well, I know he is more popular since he started doing action movies.
But I always think he should be a comic actor. That is what he does best.
雪倫：你看過尼可拉斯·凱吉的新電影嗎？
狄瑞克：哪一部？
雪倫：《蛇眼》。昨晚我和我的朋友莎拉去看了。
狄瑞克：我還沒去看，不過我看過《空中監獄》，覺得不錯。
雪倫：我覺得尼可拉斯·凱吉很棒。
狄瑞克：真的啊？為什么？他又不是很帥。
雪倫：不過他很有個性，演得很有深度。
狄瑞克：你這么喜歡他，實在是太有趣了。
我覺得通常女生不喜歡他，他們喜歡帥的男演員。
雪倫：不全是如此。
雪倫：不全是如此。我也喜歡一些非常帥的演員，像是亞歷·鮑德溫。
不過我不會只是因為一個男演員帥就喜歡他。
狄瑞克：你喜歡基努·李維斯嗎？
雪倫：一點都不喜歡。
狄瑞克：為什么？
雪倫：我覺得他是個壞人，他看上去很自大。
狄瑞克：那也許是戲中人物的個性吧，現實生活中的他可能是個好人。
雪倫：不，我認為演員演的角色常常和他本人的個性應該差不多。
這樣演起來比較像。
從基努·李維斯飾演的角色里我能感覺到一些我不喜歡的東西，他看起來像痞子。
狄瑞克：唔，也許吧。那么你最喜歡的演員是誰？
雪倫：尼可拉斯·凱吉。
狄瑞克：我以前比現在更喜歡尼可拉斯·凱吉。
他以前演的角色都比較有趣。
雪倫：怎么說呢？哪部電影？
狄瑞克：噢，我最喜歡的尼可拉斯·凱吉的電影，就是那部《我心狂野》。
他演得太棒了。
雪倫：我看過《我心狂野》，好惡心喔，我幾乎看不下去。
狄瑞克：那是他們所說的黑色幽默。
雪倫：是的，我知道。
黑色幽默就是充滿暴力與恐怖。
我不喜歡黑色幽默。
狄瑞克：那么《撫養亞歷桑納》呢？你看過嗎？
雪倫：沒有。
狄瑞克：你一定要看。
我覺得那是尼可拉斯·凱吉的經典之作，他演得很棒。
雪倫：我喜歡他的新電影。
狄瑞克：唔，我知道自從他開始拍動作片后就更受歡迎了。
但我總認為他應該演喜劇片，那是他最擅長的角色。 |
