【電影片段臺詞】
- Now I am the ruler of all the ocean! The waves obey my every whim! The sea and all its spoils bow to my power!
- ERIC!
- So much for true love!
- She really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian?
- Well, it's like I always say, Your Majesty. Children got to be free to lead their own lives.
- You - always say that? Then I guess there's just one problem left.
- And what's that, Your Majesty?
- How much I'm going to miss her.【重點詞彙講解】
1. The waves obey my every whim！海浪都聽從我的意願而起伏！
whim意爲“興致、奇思異想”，indulge one's every whim意爲“縱容某人的想法、有求必應”，on a whim意爲“心血來潮”，而a passing whim就是“一閃而過的想法”
2. spoils 獵物，戰利品
spoil作爲動詞是“溺愛”的意思，但是作爲名詞複數形式就表示戰利品
3. bow to my power 對我俯首稱臣
bow to意爲“向……鞠躬”，同時就引申爲“屈服”的含義
4. So much for true love 愛情故事到此結束了
So much for固定詞組，意爲“……就此結束了”，如老師在下課前會講一句So much for today，就是“今天的內容到此爲止”。
