    看绝美台词，学习长难句式
    
    电影中出现了很多经典的台词，与以往的大片不同，因为《盗梦空间》剧情本身具有非常复杂的逻辑性，因此里面出现的台词，句子一般都比较长，句式也相对复杂。
    
    1、真实的梦境
    
    英： Our dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on。
    
    译：我们做梦的时候，梦境是真实的，对不对?只有到醒来的时候才会意识到事情不对劲儿。我问你，你从来都不记得梦从何而起是不是?你总是直接插入到梦中所发生的一切。
    
    2、盗梦
    
    英：What's the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. Which is why I have to steal it。
    
    译：最具有可塑性的寄生生物是什么?是人的想法。人类一个简单的念头可以创造城市。一个念头可以改变世界重写一切游戏规则。这就是为什么我要从梦中把它盗取出来。
    
    3、对于生命的悔恨
    
    英：The moment's passed. Whatever I do I can't change this moment. I'm about to call out to them. They run away. If I'm ever going to see their faces I've gotta get back home. The real world。
    
    译：那个时刻我没有把握住。无论我做什么我都不能挽回。我想要呼唤他们，他们却恰好跑开了。如果我再见到他们的脸庞，我就只能回家去。回到真实的世界。
    
    4、梦中的火车
    
    英：You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together。
    
    译：你等着一辆火车，它会把你带到远方。你明白自己希望火车把你带到哪儿，不过你也心存犹豫。但这一切都没有关系——因为我们在一起。
    
    5、放手
    
     英： I can't stay with her anymore because she doesn't exist. I wish. I wish more than anything. But I can't imagine you with all your complexity, all you perfection, all your imperfection. Look at you. You are just a shade of my real wife. You're the best I can do; but I'm sorry, you are just not good enough。
    
    译：她不是真实存在的，我不能和她呆在一起。我也想，我比什么都想，但我想像不出你的复杂情绪、你的种种完美和不完美。看看吧，你只是我妻子的一个影子。你只是我竭尽全力能创造出来的而已，但是很遗憾，你远远比不上真实的她。
    
    以上的经典台词体现，分别用长句的形式展示了盗梦以及植入想法的英文，同时也通过一种语言上的逻辑形式，教会我们一些英文写作时的写作技巧。
    
    看精彩影评 学考研作文

    I have now seen this movie three times. The first time I saw it I thought it was not a dream and he was home. When I saw discussions to the contrary, I saw it again looking for any clues to tell whether he is dreaming the whole time, and questioned the ending thoroughly. It was not until I saw a post about someone saying he is only wearing a wedding ring when he dreams. Multiple people shot it down saying that they saw him wearing it in reality or that he was not wearing it in this dream or that one. My third viewing had me looking for the ring in almost every shot, seeing if his totem ever falls in a dream (Something someone said happened), looking at his children's faces to see if they are the same, etc.
    
    我已经看了三遍这电影。第一次我看时，我想这不是个梦，他是回家了。当我看到相反的争论时，我再看了一遍，来寻找任何能告知自始至终他是否在做梦的线索，并完全怀疑这个结局。直到我看到一个帖子说他只在他做梦的时候戴着结婚戒指。许多人反驳说他们看到他在现实中戴着它，或者他不是在这个或者那个梦中戴着戒指。我第三次观影就在任何一个场景中寻找这个戒指，观察他的图腾是否在梦中停下来过(有人说发生过的)，观察他的孩子们的脸来判断他们是否还是一样的，等等。
    
    My analysis as follows:
    
    我的分析如下：
    
    The Wedding Ring:
    
    结婚戒指
    
    We start the movie with Cobb in limbo with Saito, he is wearing a ring. Step back to the beginning, he is trying to convince Saito to let him into his mind to help protect it, this takes place in a dream two layers down. He is wearing a wedding ring. Things go south and we wake up in the apartment, where we think an angry mob is really coming down the street. They threaten Saito's life with him thinking it is reality, only for him to discover otherwise. In this entire scene Cobb is wearing a wedding ring. Wake up on the train, NO WEDDING RING. In the hotel suite on the phone with his kids, NO WEDDING RING. On the roof talking to Saito, NO WEDDING RING. France, the architecture university, NO WEDDING RING. The coffee shop in Ariadne's first shared dream, Cobb is wearing his wedding ring, she freaks out. They wake up in the workshop, NO WEDDING RING. They go back under and Ariadne explores the physics of the dreamworld, again Cobb is wearing a wedding ring.
    
    电影随着Cobb(Leo演的)和Saito(斋藤)在梦境中开始，他戴着一个戒指。倒退回最开始时，他正努力说服Saito让他进入他的意识去保护他，这发生在2层深的梦中。他戴着一个婚戒。事情黄了然后我们在公寓中醒来，现实中有一群暴民正沿着街道行进。他们威胁Saito相信这是现实。在这个全部场景中，Cobb戴着一个婚戒。在列车中醒来，没有婚戒。在饭店房间打电话给孩子时，没有婚戒。在屋顶和Saito说话时，没有婚戒。法国，建筑大学，没有婚戒。在Ariadne的第一个被分享的梦中的咖啡店里，Cobb戴着他的婚戒，她吓坏了。他们在工作间里醒来，没有婚戒。他们回到梦中，Ariadne发现梦中世界的物理学时，Cobb再次戴着他的戒指。
    
    Cobb goes to see Eames, the entire time not wearing a ring. He meets the new chemist, still no ring. The chemist gives him a quick taste of his latest potion, in that scene we get a quick glimpse of his hand with a WEDDING RING. Wakes up, no ring. See the pattern?
    
    Cobb去看Eames，这整段时间都没戴婚戒。他见了新药剂师，还是没戒指。药剂师给了他一剂最新药让他快速尝试，在那个场景中我们看到他戴着婚戒的手快速的一闪。醒了过来，没有戒指。看到了吗?
    
    So finally, the inception. We are on the plane, we clearly see is not wearing a ring. Level 1, WEDDING RING, Level 2, WEDDING RING, Level 3 WEDDING RING, Limbo he is wearing his WEDDING RING.
    
    所以最后，《盗梦空间》。我们在飞机上，我们清楚看到没有戴戒指。第一层，戴着，第二层，戴着，第三层，戴着，梦境中他一直戴着婚戒。
