光看美剧学英文是不够滴！^o^口语也要扎实学
1.No young man, no matter how great, can know his destiny? He cannot
glimpse his part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like
everyone, he must live and learn. And so it will be for the young
warlock arriving at the gates of Camelot. A boy that will, in time, father a legend. His name...Merlin.
——全剧的开篇，揭示了一段验证命运的人生的开端，奠定了魔幻历史剧的基调。没有一个年轻人能够感知自己未来的成就，无论他未来会有多伟大。他无法
瞥见自己在那段还未展开的盛大故事中所扮演的角色。像每个人一样，他必须在生活中学习。对于这位正前往Camelot的年轻的巫师也不例外。这个能够届时
创造神话的男孩，他的名字叫，梅林。
——father a legend 创造一段传奇故事，这是father做动词使用的一个很好的例句。
2.Let this serve as a lesson to all. This man, Thomas James Collins, is
adjudged guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic. And pursuant to the laws of Camelot, I, Uther Pendragon, have decreed that such practices are banned on penalty of death. I pride myself as a fair and just king. But for the crime of sorcery, there is but one sentence I can pass.
When I came to this land, this kingdom...was mired in chaos.
With the people's help, magic was driven from the realm. So I declare a
festival to celebrate 20 years since the great dragon was captured and
Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery. Let the celebrations begin.
——乌瑟王在处决囚犯时的致辞，标准的宫廷语言的范例。让我们引以为戒。这个人因使用魔法而被判处有罪。根据我们的律法，我，乌瑟某某，已经命令禁
止此类行为，触犯者死。我自诩为公正正直的君王，但是由于魔法带来的灾难，我不得不宣布行刑。当我来到这片土地的时候，这个王国正陷于混乱的泥沼之中。在
人民的帮助下，这个区域的魔法才得意肃清。于是我宣布今天为20周年庆典，以庆祝神龙被囚以及我们摆脱邪恶的魔法。庆祝活动开始！
——pursuant 是非常正式的法令用语，等于according to 根据。
——to decreed that 判决如下
——on penalty of death 判处死罪，死刑的判决结果。
——there is but one sentence I can pass 完整版是there is nothing but one sentence I can pass.字面意思是，没有二话，这里没别的，只有一道死刑命令。
——pass sentence on sb 对谁宣判
——总结一下表达魔法的词：sorcery巫术 enchantment妖术 magic 魔法incant a spell念咒语incantations咒语
3.There is only one evil in this land and it is not magic. It is you…with your hatred and your ignorance. You took my son! And I promise you, before these celebrations are over, you will share my tears. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. A son for a son.
——死刑犯的母亲的诅咒。
——With your hatred and your ignorance 以你的仇恨和无知。
——share my tears积极用法是分担痛苦，消极用法是品尝我的痛苦。
——An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a son for a son.以牙还牙，当然最后一小句是根据具体情况加上去的。
4.My dear, Gaius, I turn to you for I feel lost and alone and don't know who to trust. It is every mother's fate to think her child is special. Yet I would give my life that Merlin were not. Ours is a small village and he is so clearly at odds with people here
that if he were to remain, I fear what will become of him. He needs a
hand to hold, a voice to guide. Someone that might help him find a
purpose for his gifts. I beg you, if you understand a mother's love for her son, keep him safe. And may God save you both. Morgana.
——Merlin的母亲写给御医的信，很感人，很朴实。
——It is every mother's fate to think her child is special. Yet I
would give my life that Merlin were not.
虽然认为自己的孩子很特别就像每个母亲的职责，但是，如果梅林不是特别的孩子的话，我愿意为此付出生命。Yet 连词，表转折。
——be at odds with 与什么不和，于什么争吵，于什么不一致
——if you understand a mother's love for her son, keep him safe. And
may God save you both.
如果你能理解一个母亲对儿子的爱，请保护好我的儿子，愿上帝保佑你们（最后这句是问候语，不是表示交换条件，你保护我儿子，上帝才保佑你。）
5.A-Yet you called me friend.
M- That was my mistake.
A- I think so.
M-yeah, I'd never have a friend who could be such an ass.
A-Or I one who could be so stupid…Do you know how to walk on your knees?
M- No.
A- Shall I help you?
——亚瑟和梅林第一次冲突，很风趣的对白。
——yet 副词，刚才
——or I one who could be so stupid正常表达是 or I am the one to say I’d never have a friend who could be so stupid.
6. My fans are waiting. 用于自嘲太经典不过了。表面上是很多人期待我，实际上是那些要戏弄我的人已经蓄势待发了。
7.Look, I've told you you're an ass. I just didn't realize you're a royal one.
He may be an idiot, but he's a brave one.
——这不是对话，只是亚瑟和梅林两个人在几次较量后对对方的评价，放在一起看还对仗得很公正咧！
