【电影片段台词】
- 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.【重点词汇讲解】
1. The waves obey my every whim！海浪都听从我的意愿而起伏！
whim意为“兴致、奇思异想”，indulge one's every whim意为“纵容某人的想法、有求必应”，on a whim意为“心血来潮”，而a passing whim就是“一闪而过的想法”
2. spoils 猎物，战利品
spoil作为动词是“溺爱”的意思，但是作为名词复数形式就表示战利品
3. bow to my power 对我俯首称臣
bow to意为“向……鞠躬”，同时就引申为“屈服”的含义
4. So much for true love 爱情故事到此结束了
So much for固定词组，意为“……就此结束了”，如老师在下课前会讲一句So much for today，就是“今天的内容到此为止”。
