        【内容简介】
        故事开始于蒙特娄,也结束于蒙特娄。一名在找寻灵感的作家(拉菲·斯波 Rafe Spall 饰)无意间得知派·帕帖尔(伊尔凡·可汗 Irrfan Khan 饰)的传奇故事。派的父亲(阿迪勒·侯赛因 Adil Hussain 饰)开了一家动物园。因这样特殊的生活环境,少年派(苏拉·沙玛 Suraj Sharma 饰 )对信仰与人的本性自有一套看法……选段中,小时候的派的宗教信仰便于别人不同,他独特的宗教信仰观让他的爸爸和哥哥很有意见……
        【选段台词】
        (Pi prayed before he had a meal.)
        Father: This lamb is exquisite. It's the best dish on the table. You're all missing out. You only need to convert to three more religions, Piscine, and you'll spend your life on holiday.
        Brother: Are you going to Mecca this year, Swami Jesus? Or to Rome for your coronation as Popeius?
        Mother: Yourself, don't be silly. Just like you like cricket, Pi has his own interest.
        Father: No, Gita. Ravi has a point, you know? You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.
        Pi(Young): Why not?
        Father: Because, believing in everything at the same time, is the same as not believing in anything at all.
        Mother: He's young, Santosh. He's still finding his way.
        Father: And how can he find his way, if he does not choose a path? Listen, instead of leaping from one region to the next, why not start with reason? In few hundred years, science has taken us farther in undertanding the universe, than the regilon has in ten thousand.
        Mother: That is true. Your father is right. Science can teach us more about what is out there, but not what is in here.
        Father: Yeah. Some eat meat, some eat vegetable, I do not expect us to all to agree about everything, but I would much prefer they'll have you believe in something I don't agree with, than to accept everything blindly. And that begins with thinking rationally. You understand?
        (Pi noded)
        Father: Good.
        Pi(Young): I would like to be baptised.
        The Writer: So, you're a Christian, and a Muslim.
        Pi(Now):   And an Hindu, of course.
        The Writer: And a Jew, I suppose.
        Pi(Now):   Well I do teach the course on the Kabala at the University. And why not?Faith is a house with many rooms.
        The Writer: But no room for doubt?
        Pi(Now):   Oh, plenty. On every floor. Doubt is useful. It keeps Faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it has been tested.

        【重点词组】
        1. miss out
        当Pi在饭桌前祈祷时,他的父亲对于儿子相信多种宗教的信仰观很是看不惯,他说道:“这盘羊肉烧得十分精美好吃,是饭桌上最好的菜了,你却把它忘之于脑后。” “miss out”意为“遗漏[忘]”,“(被)略去”,“错过机会”,“不理睬(某人)”。
        2. convert to
        Pi的父亲看儿子如此,嘲笑他说:“看来你只需要再皈依三个宗教,然后下半辈子就可以天天参与宗教活动了。”暗指儿子相信的宗教太多了。"convert to"意为“(使)改信,皈依(另一宗教)”,“(使)转而变为…”。
        3. sb. have/has a point
        当Pi的哥哥笑话他说:“耶稣大人,你今年打算去麦加吗?或者去罗马参加你的教皇加冕仪式?”倒是Pi的妈妈讲了句:“别说这傻话,你喜欢打板球一样,Pi 也有自己的爱好。”但Pi的父亲却说:“不,Pi的哥哥说的有道理。” “sb. have/has a point ”可以用做于赞同别人的话,说别人说的在理。
        4. leap from one sth. to the next
        Pi爸教育Pi不可以同时信三个教,因为什么都信就等于什么都不信。“听着,与其在各种宗教中举棋不定,不如选择信奉理性。” "leap from one sth. to the next"意为“在(选择)sth.中举棋不定”。
