Midsomer Murders: Season 1 Episode 2 - Written in Blood
台词
Phoenix turned and fired twice, the 34 millimetre bullets spitting through the air and splintering the brickwork two inches to the left of the Russia thug’s shoulder. A moment later came the reply of the Uzi semiautomatic and Phoenix twisted round. 菲尼克斯转身开了两枪,34毫米的子弹在空中喷射,将俄罗斯暴徒肩膀左侧两英寸砖墙击碎。过一会儿,乌兹半自动冲锋枪回应了,菲尼克斯扭过身来。
Her lips, searching in the sapphire, honeyscented darkness, found his; cool, forceful, unresisting, and as the frozen waves crashed down. 当冰冷、有力、不可抗拒的浪汹涌而下的时候,她的嘴唇在蓝宝石般散发着蜜香的夜色中寻找,找到了他的嘴唇。
-Got your meeting, have you? 你要去开会,对吗?
-Yes, I’m on my way. 是的,我正在去。
He pulled her towards him, his powerful, masculine hands tearing at the silk faric of her Gaultier nightshirt.
The repetitive beat of the innercity drum.
1887, Sebastian Lyddiard, greatgrandson of Herbert Lyddiard, who served under Sir John Jervis against Napoleon. 对抗拿破仑。
The Right Honourable William Lyddiard. 威廉·利迪亚德阁下。
-Do you ever regret marrying hime, Amy? I wonder if you ever think that but for you he might still be alive? 你后悔嫁给他吗,埃米?我不知道你是否想过,如果不是因为你,他可能现在还活着?
-(Amy) No. 没有想过。
-Well I do. 我想过。
-So we come to the question of which writer we invite to address us? 所以我们打算请哪位作家来给我们做演讲呢?
-How about Jilly Cooper?
-I think he said a writer.
-Do you think we could interest Frederick Forsythe?
-I rather doubt it.
-Oh, it’s a wonderful idea, Gerald. Especially since you’re writing a thriller. I think Frederick Forsythe would be first rate! 我认为Frederick Forsythe是第一流的。
-He’d never come. He’d just pretend he didn’t have time. They always do.
-I’d like Seamus Heaney.
-The poet?
-Not another poet. That last one was such a ghastly little man.
