UP IN THE AIR对白讲解

在云端 Up In The Air简介:生命有不能承受的重。

但如果有无“重”的生活,你愿意过吗?赖安可以说是当下单身贵族的代表。

高薪厚禄,学识满纶,举止不凡。

工作就是常年飞来飞去为各地公司裁员,并偶尔做些成功学演讲。

他对自己的“高空生活”非常满意,正常人深受所累的事业、家庭、爱人、朋友等等的人生之“重”他一概不重视,唯一的目标只是积攒一千万英里的飞行里程换取一张终身尊贵会员卡。

但是新人纳塔利的到来,为他制造了一点麻烦。

她设计出一套互联网系统,让裁员只需安坐于办公室。

赖安对此非常不满,于是他带上纳塔利一起去体验这份计算机无法执行的工作。

旅程之中,赖安发现这个表面傲气凌人、不解人情的小女孩,其实有着简单却细腻的感情,她对家庭、爱情和人生目标的质朴理解处处冲击着他心中那套对人、对幸福的反传统哲学。

与此同时,与在机场邂逅的女子艾丽克斯的几次相遇,以及他妹妹的婚礼,都不断地让赖安审视自己的人生:不断的穿越长空、地域转移,人生还有什么记得住的时刻?于是这个男人决心安定下来,感受生活应有的分量,然而现实却又重重地给了他一记耳光……这个世界越来越多人慨叹生活之累,生活之重。

然而,当“轻飘飘”的生活摆在面前,我们又惊讶于那么多人宁愿选择生活的重负——例如家庭,例如亲人,而且,即使再苦再累,他们却能露出会心的笑容。

Weight & Weightless无负则无累(Ryan is giving a speech.)How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you’re carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel ’em?Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. Start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers, the 1)knickknacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up.Then you start adding larger stuff—clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV...the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. You stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it’s a studio apartment or a two-bedroom house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.Now try to walk. It’s kind of hard, isn’t it?This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can’t even move. And make no mistake...moving is living.Now, I’m gonna set that backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can’t remember. Drink some 2)ginkgo and let the photos burn. In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing.It’s kind of exhilarating, isn’t it?(赖安在作演讲。

在云端Up in the Air影评观后感

Review of Up in the AirI saw several films during the summer holiday. The most impressed me is the film Up in the Air, it was directed by Jason Reitman. The first night of it was on Dec 4th, 2009. At first, Up in the Air was a novel written by Walter Kirn. He wanted to adapt it for a film, but no production company was willing to invest in it, because most of the scenes of the film happen in the cabin. Coincidentally, it was found by Jason Reitman. Reitman loved it very much, so he added richer plots and lines, and adapted it for a film.Ryan was the leading actor in the film, he was a professional conversion consultant, that is, he was a person who helped the companies to dismissal their staff members. This job required him to be very marblehearted and to fly to everywhere continually. He was satisfied with his unfettered life style, had no friends, no home, and kept his families at a distance. He said, “Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.”He said that we should empty our backpack so that we can move fast.Something had changed after he met Alex. And his sister’s marriage made him want to repair his relation with his families, and face up to his love to Alex. But Alex had her family already, and when he achieves his aim, he found that what he had was meaningless.After seeing the film Up in the Air, I have thought for it seriously. I think most people can't agree with what Ryan had said completely. In our real life, many people hope that they can live relaxed, unrestrained, and free from all anxieties. But, it won’t be a happy life without difficulty or pressure.I think, life just like a ship, was ready to carry things. If we carry nothing, then we will lose the focus, and sink. We need to carry many things besides love in the journey of our life, such as the job, the heavy burden of life, and the mishap. It's true that live with pearing a heavy burden is the state of live since human being's emerge. We need love in our life, the love our family and our friends give us gives us warmth, and it brings us happiness. We need goals for life, if no, our life will be voil. So, we need power. And the impetus of making progress comes from the pressure. Only when we let our life pear a heavy burden will it be full of pressure. Live without pressure, we will feel relaxed, but we won't feel the real happiness. On the contrary, we feel we live under the pressure, but we can get a lot.In a word, I think the bag is the point of life. It's heavy, but it loads everything in the past. It's a treasure.。

商务英语考试实战练习那些地道口语

商务英语考试实战练习那些地道口语为了让大家更好的预备商务英语BEC考试，我给大家整理商务英语考试实战练习那些地道口语,下面我就和大家共享，来观赏一下吧。

商务英语考试实战练习那些地道口语(1)1. What are you up to? 你正在做什么?假设你在办公室想跟同事沟通下工作状况，又怕耽搁对方的工作，就可以先问同事In the middle of something? (你在忙吗?) 假如对方回答Kind of.(算是吧。

)这时你就可以连续你的谈话了，比如可以做一下谈话前的“热身”，问对方：What are you up to?(你最近在忙什么啊?)，然后再绽开你想沟通的话题。

另外US人见面时常用的问候语What’s up?就与What are you up to?在意思方面很接近，都是问“你最近在做什么啊?”但是需要留意一点：语气的不同所表达的意思也不相同，比如你发觉在未经你允许的状况下，别人正在你的办公桌上乱翻，就可以过去责问他What are you up to?(你正在搞什鬼?)。

除此以外What are you up to?还有其他意思，比如你的同事正在完成某个项目，你就可以说What are you up to?(目前进展如何?)当然What are you up to?与What are you doing?意思基本相同，可相互取代，但是多变的表达方式会令你在工作期间的沟通中显得更加出彩。

2. In the middle of something? 你正在忙吗?在上面已经提到了In the middle of something? (你正在忙吗?)这句话，惯用的说法是Are you busy?，但是死啃一种说法明显过于单一化，把眼界放广一点，对于同一个概念要有不同的变化。

假如你常常用Are you busy?，不妨换成In the middle of something?，由于这句话的意思更为精确，比较接近于Are you busy right now?(现在是不是正在忙?)而Are you busy?的含意不仅可以解释为“现在是不是正在忙?”也可指“最近忙不忙?”。

up in the air

So your plan is up in the air。

对了，up in the air是一个常用的习惯用语，Air是空气，up in the air就是在空气中，也就是悬在空中，意思就是：某件事还没有确定。

通常我们会说，某个计划还没有确定- the plan is still up in the air。

要是有的人对某件事没有办法作出决定，你就可以说：their decision is still up in the air。

例句-1：Now with the new regulations about building next to an airport, it looks like we might not be able to start onstruction of the golf course until next year. The whole project is up in the air.这位老板说：因为对在机场附近兴建设施有了新的规定，因此我们在年底之前要开始修建高尔夫球场看来是不行了。

这整个工程就因此悬而不定。

那是到了20世纪人们才开始用up in the air。

下面我们再来听一个例句。

这是一个人在说他对自己的未来一点都不清楚。

例句-2：I wish I could tell you where I'll be in six months time, but I don't even know. I'm not sure if I will have the same job. I'm not even sure if my girlfriend will be able to stay in this country. Everything is so up in the air.这个人说：我希望能告诉你六个月后我在哪里，可是我自己也不知道。

影视鉴赏--《在云端》up in the air

• 同时，Ryan和Alex（维拉· 法梅加饰），他们之间的浪漫关系在机场的一次次偶遇中慢慢展开。以瑞恩的妹妹结婚为他俩故事的一个高潮，Ryan一反本性，带着Alex，回到老家参加妹妹的婚礼，他想雪中送炭，家人却不觉得他有那么热乎，他索性置身度外，却在婚礼行将破裂之时，挽回了妹妹所期待的俗世幸福。当他参加完她妹妹的婚礼，并与他未来的妹夫经过一次真正的男人之间的心灵沟通后，他决心尝试一段真正的感情.
社会问题
• 电影以一种时而故作紧张，时而恍然轻松而又时而洞穿世事的方式，无声无息地审视着对现代社会，叩问每一个奔波在写字楼群、飞机车船的都市人的内心。 • 影片以Ryan的工作切入，Alex，Natelie，各色人等悉数出场，镜头通过讲述三个人相互之间的影响，影片中段做出的改变和不同的结局走向，探索人背离于内心情感需索的异化、探寻人在钢铁都市中的漂泊和归宿，同时也以所有失业者的目光，所有同样专业化的服务生、乘务人员、服务人员的目光审视整个社会的变化。 • 随着社会发展和技术的进步，人类彼此交流和情感表达的方式正在不断发生着变化，过去的形式解体，新的形式不断产生，人出在一种躁动的变化之中呈现出盲目性和不安全感。 • 经济萧条、住房紧张、工作竞争、看病难等等，那些被裁的员工就是这样一群被自己沉重背包压得移动缓慢的人，构成了我们这个社会最为庞大的主流群体。
生活意义
• 其实那个背包就是生活的意义，虽然你肩上是一个沉重的背包，但里面有很多东西，是你这一路走来，在每个不经意时间拍摄下来的照片，它们记载了你这一路的懵懂与感知，快乐与悲伤，成功与失败，疑虑与释然… • 影片贯穿着一种对于“人最终要复归于某种普通的，原始的情感需求”的坚定信念。 • 瑞恩的身心一直都处在一种漂泊和辗转的状态中，而当他想要返回安稳的生活时，却发现他周围的环境和人群，仍然轰鸣着快速前进。他进退两难，或者加入其中继续异化漂泊，或者回归自我但被社会甩下。他的困境，其实是都市里，我们共同的困境。

Up_In_the_Air(《在云端》)台词全整理

Up In The AirA: This is what I get in return for 30 years of service for my company? And they send some yo-yo like you in here to try to tell me that I'm out of a job? They should be telling you you're out of a job. 我为公司服务了30年，这就是我得到的回报？他们派你这种人过来，对我说，我的工作没了。

他们应该跟你说，你的工作没了B: You have a lot of gall coming in here and firing your number one producer. And make more money than you've ever made in your life, and I'm going to go home without a pay check. Fuck you. 你们这些厚颜无耻的人来到这里开除了最好的制作人，明天你回到家去收钱。

你这辈子都没见过这么多钱，我却两手空空地回家，去你妈的。

C: I just...I guess you leave me dumbfounded. I don't know where this is coming from. How am I supposed to go back as a man and explain this to my wife that I lost my job? 我只是…我想这让我太震惊了。

我不知道怎么会这样。

作为一个男人，我怎么回到家里，跟我妻子说我工作丢了。

D: On a stress level, I've heard that losing your job is like a death in the family. But personally, I feel more like the people I worked with were my family and I died. 从压力的层面上说，我听说失去工作就像家里有人去世。

悬而未决 up in the air

悬而未决up in the air
短语up in the air意思是某种局势的结果尚不清楚或某一决定还没有作出。

这类似汉语中的悬而未决。

例句：
We thought he would sign the contract but he's changed his mind. The situation is up in the air.
The doctor told me I can't travel because I need vaccinations first. I'm not sure I’ll be able to go on Wednesday - it's all up in the air!
It's all up in the air right now: no one can agree on whether to sell the company or not.
请注意，不要把这个短语同clear the air 混淆起来，后者的意思是通过对话消除疑虑或积怨：
My dad was really annoyed at me for forgetting his birthday. Last night we discussed it and cleared the air.
I didn't know how my wife felt about the situation, so last night we talked for two hours and cleared the air.。

Hands Up In The Air举起手来-Craig David英文歌词

And she knows it very well...
The kind you'd be calling on your cell.
Falling underneath the spell
So addicted baby-- can't you tell?
You need a hot boy
To raise the roof with your crew
But you can bring it down if you want to
Let me see those hands up in the air
All my ladies shaking what you got let me hear you say yah
But I know it ain't that easy to bring the whole thing down...
Let me see those hands up in the air
All my fellas bouncing in the club let me hear you say yah--
Cuz no one's tripping
Just keep playing that song
Let me see those hands up in the air
All my fellas bouncing in the club let me hear you say yah--
No oh no, it's nothing new
If you're still feeling unsure,

You get them into that backpack. Don't worry. I'm not gonna ask you to light it on fire. Feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake, your relationship are the heaviest components in your life. Do u feel the straps cutting into your shoulders? All these negotiations and arguments, and secrets and compromises. You don't need to carry all that weight. Why don't u set that bag down? Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically for a lifetime.Star-crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not those animals. The slower we move, the faster we die. We are not swans, we're sharks.【6】--Never?--No.--Ever?--No.--You never want to get married?--Never want kids?--Not a chance.--Ever?--Never. Is that so bizarre?--Yes.Yes,it is.--I just don't see the value in it. Right,sell it to me.--What?--Sell me marriage.--OK. How about love? Stability,just somebody you can count on...--OK, how many stable marriage do u know?--Somebody to talk to, someone to spend your life with.--I'm surrounded by people to talk to. I doubt that's gonna change.--How about just not dying alone?--Starting when I was 12, we moved each of my grandparents into a nursing facility. My parents went the same way. Make no mistake, we all die alone. Now, those cult members in San Diego, with the kool-aid and the sneakers...they didn't die alone. I'm just saying there are options.【7】--Is the bag empty because u hate people or because u hate the baggage they come along with? --I don't hate people. I'm not exactly a hermit.--U just don't want to be tied down with the whole responsibility thing.--I don't know what originally sparked the backpack. Probably needed to be alone. Recently, I've been thinking that I needed to be empty the backpack before I know what to put back in it.【8】--How can u not think about that? How does it not even cross ur mind that you might want a future with someone?--It's simple. U know that moment when u look into somebody's eyes and u can feel them staring into your soul and the whole world goes quiet just for a second?--Yes.--Right. Well, I don't.......--Don't u think it's worth giving her a chance?--A chance for what?--A chance at something real.--Natalie, your definition of real will evolve as u get older.--Can u stop condescending for one second or is it a principle of your bullshit philosophy? The isolation, the travelling, is that supposed to be charming?--No, it's simply a life choice.--It's a cocoon of self-banishment.--Wow,big words.--You have set up a way of life that basically makes it impossible for you to have any kind of human connection. And now, this woman comes along and somehow runs the gauntlet of yourridiculous life choice, and comes out on the other end smiling just u can call her "casual"? I need to grow up? U are a 12-year-old.【9】--Well, last night I was just kinda laying in bed, and I couldn’t get to sleep. so I started thinking bout the wedding and the ceremony, and about our buying a house, and moving in together, and having a kid, and having another kid and then Christmas and Thanksgiving and Springbreak. Going to football games, and then all of a sudden, they're graduating.They’re getting jobs, and getting married. and u know,I’m a grandparent, and then I am retired, I’m loosing my hair, getting fat, and then the next thin g, you know, I’m dead. I’m just, like...I can’t stop from thinking—what’s the point? I mean, What is the point?--The point?--Yeah, what am I starting here?--Jim, it's...marriage, it’s one of the most beautiful things on earth, it’s what er...what people aspire to. U never got married.--That’s true.--I mean, You never even tried. That’s hard to defying try.--I don’t know. It’s just……you seem happier than all my married friends.--Well, Jim, I’m not going to lie to u. Marriage can be a pain in the ass. And you’re kind of right, this all is just stuff that leads to your eventual demise.--Yes.--And we’re all running clocks, and they can’t be slowed down or paused, and we all end up in the same place. There’s no point.-- There Is no point. That’s what I’m saying.--You know, I’m not normally the guy u would talk to about stuff like this. If you think about it, your favourite memories, the most important moments in your life, were you alone?--No, I guess not.--Think a bit of it, last night, the night before your wedding when all the shit was swirling around in your head, weren’t you guys sleeping in seperate bedrooms?--Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment, and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite.--Kinda lonely, huh?--Yes, pretty lonely.--Life is better with company.--Yeah……--Everybody needs a co-pilot.--That was a nice touch.--Thanks.【10】--I thought I was a part of your real life.--I thought we signed up for the same thing.--Try and help me understand exactly what it is that u signed up for.--I thought our relationship was perfectly clear. I mean u are an escape, you are a break from our normal lives, you're a parenthesis.--I am a parenthesis?--I mean...what do u want? Tell me what u want...... U don't even know what u want. Ryan, I'm a grown-up, ok? So if u would like to see me again, then...then give me a call. OK?【11】--So where are u from?--I am from here.【12】I would say, you know, uh...without my friends and my family, I wouldn't have made it.It would have been a lot tougher if I would had to make it on my own.When I wake up in the morning and I look over and I see my wife, that gives me the sense of purpose.It's not all about the money, money can keep your warm. It pays your heating bills, it can buy you a blanket. But it doesn't keep u as warm as when my husband holds me.Let me get up. Let me get out. Let me find something. So my kids are my purpose. My family.【12】Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing kids. Their spouses will ask about their day and tonight they'll sleep. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wing tip passing over.。

十句简单的英文用法让自己的美语活起来

有时候在ICQ上同时和⽼美和⽼中⽤英⽂聊天，通常⽤不了多久，我很快就能分别出这是⽼美的英⽂还是⽼中的英⽂。

就算同样是⽤那些单字，⽼美⽤的英⽂就是有⼀种特别的味道。

因为我发觉⽼美常常会“换句话说”。

整句话的味道就不⼀样。

例如“me too.”没有⼈不知道吧！但⽼美不只会⽤“me too.”他们还会⽤“same here.”虽然same跟here你我都认识，但我们就不会说“same here.”对吧！其实这就是我所说的味道。

⼤家不要⼀味地去追求艰深的单字和⽤法，反⽽是要对⽇常⽣活中常⽤到的单字⽚语要有活⽤的能⼒，这样你的美语听起来才会道地。

这次⼤家来学学这⼗句简单的⽤法，看看能不能让⾃⼰的美语活起来。

1. Do you have any pet peeve？你有什麽样的怪⽑病吗？所谓的pet peeve就是个⼈⽣活习惯上的⼀些⼩⽑病，例如有些⼈不喜欢别⼈碰他的电脑，要是你碰他的电脑他就会不⾼兴，这就是所谓的pet peeve.（⽽⾮bad habit.）通常pet peeve都是⽐较⽆伤⼤雅的⼩⽑病，⼏乎每个⼈都有属於他⾃⼰的pet peeve.所以就有⽼美跟我说过，“Everybody has his pet peeve.”当然pet peeve也常常成为⽼美谈话之间彼此开玩笑的话题。

记得“Friends”有⼀集就是两边⼈马在⽐快问快答，⽽其中有⼀类的问题就是pet peeves.蛮有意思的。

如果是这个坏习惯⼤到会影响别⼈，像是在公共场所⽼是讲话很⼤声，这就不是pet peeve，⽽要⽤annoying来形容。

例如我就常听⽼美抱怨，“Don‘t you think he is annoying？”（你不觉得他很烦吗？） 2. Maybe I‘m going out on a limb，but I think we still have to invest it. 或许这麽作有点冒险，但我想我们还是要投资它。

《在云端》（Upintheair）观后感

《在云端》（Upintheair）观后感•相关推荐《在云端》(Up in the air)观后感（通用8篇）当品味完一部作品后，从中我们收获新的思想，为此需要好好认真地写观后感。

那么我们该怎么去写观后感呢？下面是小编帮大家整理的《在云端》(Up in the air)观后感，仅供参考，欢迎大家阅读。

《在云端》(Up in the air)观后感篇1看完电影《在云端》(Up in the air)之后，我不禁想起一个人生哲学问题，那就是人生这趟列车旅行的终极目标是什么?"夫天地者，万物之逆旅；光阴者，百代之过客，而浮生若梦，为欢几何?"这是李白的诗句，人生匆匆数十年，放在历史长河来量度，那是渺小的微尘。

但对每个个体而言，活着而又开心的活着是多么的重要。

读完《活着》后，想着只要活着就好。

电影中，Ryan的人生中似乎只有自己，他告诉人们别背负太多东西，工作的性质也要求他要放弃情感，似乎他能痛快的活着。

但是当大学生Natalie与他争锋相对的辩白一番后，当看到妹妹的婚礼后，当听说被解雇的员工自杀后，以及种种，使他彻底抛弃了过去的人生哲学，他飞奔往芝加哥，寻找那个与他相遇的灵魂，却遭来一头棒喝。

对方是有夫之妇，有着幸福的家庭。

"我们都是成年人，只是你不明白你想要什么"他猛然醒悟了，人家一直活着在现实中，是他一直活着虚幻中。

孤独感悄然袭来。

当他实现他的人生一大目标--空中累计飞行1000万英里里程--的时候，他并不高兴。

他是目前最年轻的实现这个目标的人，连机长都不禁问他为什么有如此多的时间在空中飞来飞去。

最后，在机场大厅，面对着一大块花花绿绿的电子屏幕，他的人生选择了再出发。

言归正传，至少得问问自己，人生的目标是什么。

在实现了一些子目标之后，其实我并没有感到十分高兴，每天面对的是日益繁忙的工作和纷繁复杂的人际关系，身心希望来一次迸发。

记得有个初中同学说过，帮助他度过每个星期的就是彩票，希望--破灭--继而希望--继而破灭，如此循环。
