聚会祝酒《了不起的狐狸爸爸》教你举杯出口成章

英语自学网

过年过节难免要聚会喝酒，举杯之时的祝酒词要怎么说？虽然中美风俗不同，个性而漂亮的祝酒词总是讨人欢心。动画片《了不起的狐狸爸爸》中就有两段很有意思的祝酒词，同样来自乔治·克鲁尼配音的男主角狐狸先生，有自信的话，你也可以模仿了贡献录音哈。
这第一段祝酒词旨在鼓舞士气，首先就赞了一圈儿在座的各位，不但有各个职业的说法，连每个褒赞的词汇都用得不一样哦。

话说，刚刚被洪水打搅，我还挺乐的，因为先前的祝酒词我还不怎么满意，正想要从头来过。当我看着这一桌子丰盛的饕餮盛宴，我同时也看到了在座的各位中，有两名出类拔萃的律师，一位技术一流的小儿科医生，一个出色的厨子，精明能干的地产商，巧夺天工的裁缝，呱呱叫的会计师，才华横溢的音乐家，一级棒的打渔人，还有一位可能是当今最能干的风景画家。说不定你们中间还有人读过我报纸上的专栏，谁知道呢？我也说不好。但与此同时，我同样看到了一屋子狂野的动物，具有与生俱来的天性和才华，拥有气质不凡的拉丁学名用以说明我们的DNA无以伦比，还各自传承着各自种族的优势和弱点。总之，鄙人以为，正是我们中间这些美好的与众不同，使得拯救我侄子的计划有了一线生机，也能借此机会为我把大家拖到这摊子浑水中做一点补偿。当然这只是个人拙见。感谢各位洗耳恭听。诸位，先干为敬！
In a way, I'm almost glad that flood interrupted us, because I don't like the toast I was giving. I'm gonna start over. When I look down this table with the exquisite feast set before us, I see, two terrific lawyers, a skilled pediatrician, a wonderful chef, a savvy real estate agent, an excellent tailor, a crack accountant, a gifted musician, a pretty good minnow fisherman, and possibly the best landscape painter working on the scene today. Maybe a few of you might even read my column from time to time. Who knows? I tend to doubt it. I also see a room full of wild animals. Wild animals with true natures and pure talents. Wild animals with scientific sounding Latin names that means something about our D.N.A. Wild animals each with his own strengths and weaknesses due to his or her species. Anyway, I think it may very well be all the beautiful differences among us that just might give us the tiniest glimmer of a chance of saving my nephew and letting me make it up to you for getting us into this crazy whatever-it-is. I don't know. It's just a thought. Thank you for listening. Cheers, everyone.

这段祝酒词出现在影片的最后，因而带有沾沾自喜的快意。看似毫无关系的字里行间却隐藏着无奈地夹缝中求生存的骄傲。

据说狐狸都对油毡子有些个过敏，但其实爪子踏着很舒服啊，不信自己试试。据说我的尾巴一个月都要干洗两次，但至少现在都是可脱卸的了，瞧见没？据说我们的树再也长不回来了，但终究有一天，会长些什么东西出来。没错，这些饼干来自人工饲养的鹅，这些鸭胗肝取自人工饲养的鸭崽子，连这些苹果都长得假模假样，可毕竟上面还有漂亮的星星。我想说的是，今晚我们要大吃一顿，我们要一起大吃一顿，就算是在这样不怎么敞亮的灯光下，我都毫无疑问地知道，你们，是五个半我这辈子碰到过的，最棒的野生动物。就让我们举杯畅饮，为了我们伟大的生存，干杯！
They say all foxes are slightly allergic to linoleum. But it's cool to the paw. Try it. They say my tail needs to be dry cleaned twice a month, but now it's fully detachable. See? They say our tree may never grow back. But, one day, something will. Yes, these crackles are made out of synthetic goose, and these Giblets come from artificial squab. And even these apples look fake, but at least they've got stars on them. I guess my point is we'll eat tonight, and we'll eat together, and even in this not particularly flattering light, you are without a doubt, the five-and-a-half most wonderful wild animals I've ever met in my life. So let's raise our boxes. To our survival!
