趣味英语第205期:怎么能成为绝地武士

Jacob Alvarez:

雅各布·阿尔瓦雷斯：

"How do I become a Jedi?"

“我怎么能成为绝地武士？”

Um... that's Star Wars, right?

嗯……那是《星球大战》中的人物，对吧？

What is a Jedi? Is that from Star Wars or something?

什么是绝地武士？是《星球大战》中的人物还是其他的？

I have no idea how you would become a Jedi. I'm not even sure what a Jedi is. I know it has something to do with one of these space movies.

我不知道你怎样才能成为绝地武士。我甚至不能确定什么是绝地武士。我知道那与其中一部太空电影有关。

I wish I could become a Jedi. Just watch a little Star Wars and hope the movies get better.

我希望我能成为绝地武士。只要看《星球大战》并希望电影越来越好就行了。

It depends on what your definition¹ of a Jedi is. If it's moving spaceships out of swamps² with your mind, I can't give you any advice there. I think you can become way more powerful if you'd just focus on the energy in the universe in a positive way.

这取决于你对于绝地武士的定义。如果是用意念将太空飞船移出沼泽，那我不能给你任何建议。我想如果你用积极的方法关注宇宙中的能量，那你能变得更加强大。

By being honest, brave, trustworthy. Most of us are Jedis if we treat our fellow man fairly.

诚实、勇敢、可信。如果我们公平地对待我们的同胞，那我们大多数人都是绝地武士。

You've gotta practice the Force. One does not just become a Jedi, okay? You gotta practice at it.

你要练习原力。一个人不会直接成为绝地武士，对吧？你必须要练习。

Get yourself a lightsaber.

给自己配把光剑。

Own a lightsaber and then maybe talk to Yoda about it?

获得一把光剑，或许之后再和尤达谈谈？

Disneyland! Jedi training academy³. There you go! Even though they don't pick kids older than 12, you get up there anyway, buddy⁴.

去迪士尼乐园！那里有绝地武士训练学校。你可以去参加！尽管他们不会接收12岁以上的孩子，不过伙计，你还是可以去看看。
