影片对白

Thomas: Yes, Nina?

Nina: Do you have a minute? Now's not a good time. I get it.

Thomas: Now is perfect. So...

Nina: I just wanted to tell you that I practiced the coda last night and I finished. I thought you should know.

Thomas: Okay, Nina, listen. Honestly, I don't care about your technique. You should know that by now.

Nina: Yeah, but yesterday...

Thomas: No. Anyway...I've already chosen Veronica. So...Sorry.

Nina: Okay, thank you.

Thomas: That's it? You're not going to try and change my mind? You must have thought it was possible. Otherwise, what are you doing here all dolled up?

Nina: I came to ask for the part.

Thomas: Well...The truth is...When I look at you, all I see is the White Swan. Yes, you're beautiful, fearful, fragile¹. Ideal casting. But the Black Swan? It's a hard fucking job to dance both.

Nina: I can dance the Black Swan, too.

Thomas: Really? In four years, every time you dance, I see you obsess² getting each and every move perfectly³ right, but I never see you lose yourself. Ever. All that discipline for what?

Nina: I just want to be perfect.

Thomas: You what?

Nina: I want to be perfect.

Thomas: Perfection⁴ is not just about control. It's also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence. And very few have it in them.

Nina: I think I do have it in me.

Thomas: You bit me? I can't believe you bit me!

Nina: I'm sorry.

Thomas: Man, that fucking hurt!

Veronica: What? Why's she always staring at me?

Girl: Hey, it's been posted. Hey, it's out!

Nina: Veronica. Congratulations.

Veronica: Hey! Why would you say that? Your idea of some sick joke?

Nina: What?

Veronica: Fuck you.

Girl 1: Hey, Nina! Congratulations!

Girl 2: Congratulations.

Girl 3: Congratulations. You're so beautiful.

Girl 4: Congratulations.

Erica: Hello?

Nina: Hi.

Erica: What is it? What's wrong?

Nina: I'm fine. He picked me, Mummy. Do you hear me?

Erica: For Swan Lake?

Nina: I'm going to be Swan Queen! Mom! I'll be home soon. I just wanted to let you know.

Erica: I love you.

Nina: I love you, too.

妙语佳句 活学活用

1. coda: （乐曲的）后奏，尾声；结尾乐段。影片中妮娜之前在选拔中跳到黑天鹅舞段的尾声时被打断，没有跳完。

2. dolled up: 打扮得漂漂亮亮。doll up意思是“（把……）打扮得花枝招展，装点得漂漂亮亮”。例如：The old woman dolls herself up like a young lady.（老妇人把自己打扮得像个少女。）

3. fearful: 胆怯的。fearful也可以表示“可怕的，吓人的，极糟的”，例如：What a fearful waste of time!（简直太浪费时间了！）

4. let go: 放开，不拘束，洒脱。看一下例子：He can let go in private.（他在无旁人的情况下会很轻松自然。）

5. transcendence: 超越。
