影视英语口语:一大清早

影视来源：《歌舞青春》
小噱头：唱歌之外的交流……
剧情引导：新学期伊始，Gabriella因为妈妈换工作而转学，你说怎么这么巧，居然就转到了Troy的班上。（不都说电影是“巧”它妈生的么！）尽管都被老师关了禁闭，一下课两人就愉快地聊起来……

【台词片段】

Troy: Hey!
Gabriella: I don't...
Troy: Believe it.
Gabriella: Well, me...
Troy: Either, But how?
Gabriella: My mom's company transferred her here to Albuquerque. I can't believe you live here. I looked for you at the lodge on New Year's Day,
Troy: We had to leave first thing.
Gabriella: Why are you whispering?
Troy: What? Oh, uh... my friends know about the snowboarding. I haven't quite told them about the singing thing.
A student: What's up?
Troy: Hey.
Gabriella: Too much for them to handle?
Troy: No, it was cool. But, you know, my friends, it's, uh... It's not what I do. That was, like, a different person...
So, uh... anyway, welcome to East High. Now that you've met Miss Darbus, I bet you just can't wait to sign up for that.
Gabriella: I won't be signing up for anything for a while, I just wanna get to know the school. But if you sign up, I'd consider coming to the show.
Troy: Yeah, yeah. That's completely impossible.
...

【台词翻译】

特洛伊：嘿！
凯碧：我简直不……
特洛伊：敢相信。
凯碧：是啊，我……
特洛伊：也不相信。不过怎么会？
凯碧：我妈公司调配她到阿布奎基来。我不敢相信你就住这儿。新年那天我还在旅馆找你来着。
特洛伊：我们一大早就得走。
凯碧：你干嘛说话这么小声？
特洛伊：什么？哦，嗯……我朋友们知道我去滑雪了，但我还没说唱歌的事情。
学生：你好！
特洛伊：嘿。
凯碧：怕他们接受不了？
特洛伊：不是，那是很酷啦。但是你要知道，我那些朋友们，嗯……这不怎么像我做的事情。听上去就像另一个人……
那么，嗯……不管怎么样，欢迎到东部高中来。你刚听达布思老师说了，我猜你迫不及待就想来报名参加音乐剧了吧？
凯碧：我一时半会儿还不会报名参加什么东西的。我只是想了解一下学校。但是如果你报名的话，我会考虑一下哟。
特洛伊：是啊是啊。压根儿没可能啦。

【口语解说】first thing

first thing为什么是一大早的意思呢？其实搜索这个词组的英文意思，会发现其实它的解释还是“Before anything else; without delay.”表示首选做某事、毫不迟疑地做某事。根据上下文判断它是不是作为“一大早”解。一般来说，默认就是指早上的第一件事，也就是说多数情况下first thing其实是the first thing in the morning的缩写~~
