還有剛剛我們看到的迪普尼先生

Tumnus playing the flute, I feel like he captures the air of mystery and wonder in Narnia so well.

吹奏長笛的那個畫面，我覺得他把納尼亞那種神祕奇幻的氛圍詮釋得太好了。

And this movie's got to be the epitome of a fantasy story, right?

這部電影根本就是奇幻故事的縮影，對吧？

That's what epitome means, of a fantasy story.

這就是「縮影」的意思，一個奇幻故事的縮影。

Breathtaking landscapes, magical creatures, epic battles.

令人驚嘆的風景、魔法生物、史詩般的戰鬥。

Now, one scene I find particularly memorable is when the four Pevensy siblings, the protagonists, meet Father Christmas, and

接著，有一個我印象特別深刻的場景，就是四個佩文西兄弟姊妹，也就是主角們，遇見聖誕老人，

he gives them all these weapons and tools as gifts.

他送給他們各種武器和工具當作禮物。

So, in today's lesson, we're gonna watch this scene and unpack the advanced English.

所以，今天的課程我們要來看這段，然後剖析進階英語。

In it, you will learn the name of all these objects, along with several useful expressions you can use in everyday conversation.

We'll watch the first part now with subtitles, before we break down all the advanced words.

接著看第二部分，做同樣的事，然後

at the end, I'll let you watch everything again without any subtitles.

看，自從我來這裡之後，我忍受了很多事，但這個。

不過話說回來，我開這玩意兒的時間，比女巫還久。

I thought there was no Christmas in Narnia.

Still, I dare say you could do with these.

儘管如此，我敢說你們會需要這些。

Okay, so we're gonna analyze now the English expressions that we saw in there.

好的，那我們現在就來剖析一下剛剛看到的英文。

確實如此，露西，自從妳來了之後。

Look, I've put up with a lot since I got here, but we thought you were the witch.

As we learn from the story, there had been no Christmas for a long time under the White Witch's rule.

Now, listen to this expression Susan used.

好了，來聽聽蘇珊用的這個說法。

對了，你知道你可以在我們自己的 App 上練習我們課程中學到的所有這些表達方式嗎？

The learners who are using it, like Narges here, for example, tell us the app is helping them retain all these words, and

像 Narges 這樣的學習者告訴我們，這個 App 幫助他們記住所有這些單字，

this is essential if you want to be able to use them in your next conversation.

不過話說回來，我開這臺車的時間比那個女巫還久。

By the way, what do you call Santa's vehicle?

對了，你怎麼稱呼聖誕老人的交通工具？

Both Father Christmas and the white witch in Narnia drive a sleigh.

在納尼亞，聖誕老人和白女巫都開雪橇。

So when the children saw the sleigh approaching, they naturally thought the witch was chasing them again, which explains their fear.

所以當孩子們看到雪橇靠近時，他們自然而然地以為女巫又在追他們了，這也解釋了他們的恐懼。

But Father Christmas defends himself by saying that he's been driving sleighs much longer than the witch.

但聖誕老人為自己辯護說，他開雪橇的時間比女巫久多了。

After all, he's been delivering presents for centuries.

畢竟，他已經送了幾個世紀的禮物了。

The phrase in my defense is used when you want to justify or explain something you did that might seem wrong or be misunderstood.

「in my defense」這個片語是用在你想要為自己做的事辯護或解釋，而這些事可能看起來不對或被誤解。

It's like saying to be fair or in my favor.

這就像是說「公平地說」或「對我有利」。

Well, I may have given that very huge drug case to Hitchcock and Scully.

嗯，我可能把那個非常重大的毒品案給了希區考克和史考利。

In my defense, I was pretty sure you were never going to find out.

說句公道話，我當時很確定你永遠不會知道。

我以為納尼亞根本沒有聖誕節。

But the hope that you have brought your majesties is finally starting to weaken the witch's power.

但你們帶來的希望，終於開始削弱女巫的力量了。

Father Christmas addresses the children as your Majesties, a formal title used when speaking to kings and queens in the context of Narnia's prophecy.

聖誕老人稱孩子們為「陛下」，這是納尼亞預言中對國王和女王的正式稱呼。

These four children are destined to become the rulers of Narnia and free it from the white witch's tyranny.

這四個孩子註定要成為納尼亞的統治者，並將其從白女巫的暴政中解放出來。

By calling them your majesties, he's acknowledging their royal destiny.

他稱他們為陛下，是在認可他們身為王者的命運。

He's finally starting to weaken the witch's power.

他終於開始削弱女巫的力量了。

The hope that the children have brought is starting to weaken the witch's power.

孩子們帶來的希望，正開始削弱女巫的力量。

To weaken something means to make it less strong, less powerful, or less effective.

削弱某樣東西的意思就是讓它變得不那麼強壯、不那麼有力量或不那麼有效。

The word is incredibly versatile in English.

For example, when talking about physical strength, you could say the illness weakened him significantly.

舉例來說，談到體力時，你可以說「這疾病讓他變得非常虛弱」。

High inflation can weaken a country's currency or relationships.

持續的高通膨會削弱一個國家的貨幣或人際關係。
