A Few Good Men(1992)
 

A Few Good Men (1992) Tom Cruise的经典之作!好几年前看过这部电影,现在再看一遍,觉得这部电影真不错。 那时的Tom Cruise和Demi Moore多年轻呀! 法庭上的Tom Cruise超帅!

Tom Cruise和报亭的老伯交谈时引用了一些谚语:

If you can't beat them, join them.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

一些法庭常用语

All rise. - 全体起立

The witness is excused. - 证人可以离席。

Objection overruled - 反对无效

Objection sustained - 反对有效

The objection of the defense has been heard and overruled.

Demi Moore说,"I strenuously object..." -我强烈反对...

court-martial: noun [uncountable and countable] a court that judges soldiers etc who may have broken military law, or an occasion when this judgment is made
Navy commanders recommended that he be tried by court-martial.

证人作证前,法庭都会要求证人宣誓:
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

 


在A Few Good Men里还看到《24小时》的主角Jack Bauer。他在里面饰演一个军官,只有几个镜头。样子也相当年轻,声音也和今天的Jack Bauer不太一样。 毕竟是15年前的电影。 15年前他只是一个小角色,今天就在《24小时》里面挑大梁。

A Few Good Men是部不可多得的好电影,法庭的交锋相当精彩值得反复看。

mess hall: a large room where soldiers eat 士兵的饭堂

chow time: 吃饭时间

keep your nose to the grindstone:informal to work very hard, without stopping to rest
Jim had decided he was going to keep his nose to the grindstone.
