【跟着英剧练发音】Merlin S01E01-4

 文本

GAIUS: How could you be so foolish?!

MERLIN: He needed to be taught a lesson.

GAIUS: Magic must be studied, mastered, and used for good! Not for idiotic¹ pranks²!

MERLIN: What is there to master? I could move objects like that before I could talk!

GAIUS: Then, by now, you should know how to control yourself!

MERLIN: I don't want to! If I can't use magic, what have I got?! I'm just a nobody, and I always will be. If I can't use magic, I might as well die.

GAIUS: Merlin? Sit up. Take your shirt off.

MERLIN: You don't know why I was born like this, do you?

GAIUS: No.

MERLIN: I'm not a monster, am I?

GAIUS: Don't ever think that.

MERLIN: Then why am I like this? Please, I need to know why.

GAIUS: Maybe there's someone with more knowledge than me.

MERLIN: If you can't tell me, no one can.

GAIUS: Take this. It will help with the pain.
