影片对白

Aguirre: Up on Brokeback, theForest Service has got designated campsites on the allotments. Them camps can be 3, 4 miles from where we pasture the woollies. Bad predator loss if there's nobody lookin' after 'em at night. Now, what I want is a camp tender to stay in the main camp, where the Forest Service says. But the herder he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep and he's gonna sleep there. You eat your supper and breakfast in camp but you sleep with the sheep 100%. No fire, don't leave no sign. You roll up that tent every mornin' . in case Forest Service snoops around. Yeah? No. No! Not on your fuckin' life. You got your dogs, your 30-30, you sleep there. (30-30 is a sort of dog contest) Last s ummer I had goddamn near 25% loss. I don't want that again. You. Fridays at noon, be down at the bridge with your grocery list and mules and somebody with supplies will be there at the pick-up. Tomorrow mornin' we'll truck you up to the jump-off.

Jack: Jack Twist.

Ennis: Ennis.

Jack: Your folks just stop at Ennis?

Ennis: Del Mar.

Jack: Well, nice to know you, Ennis Del Mar. My second year up here. Last year, one storm, the lightnin' killed 42 sheep. Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell. Aguirre got all over my arse, like I was supposed to control the weather. But beats workin' for my old man. Can't please my old man, no way. That's why I took to rodeoin'. You ever rodeo?

Ennis: You know, I mean, once in a while. When I got the entry fee in my pocket.

Jack: Yeah. Are you from ranch people?

Ennis: Yeah, I was.

Jack: Your folks run you off?

Ennis: No, they run themselves off. There was one curve in the road in 43 miles, and they miss it. So the bank took the ranch and my brother and sister, they raised me, mostly.

Jack: Shit, that's hard.

妙语佳句，活学活用

1. Forest Service

这里是美国的“林务局”。

2. pup tent

指那种“露营用的三角小帐蓬”。很小，通常只能容下一个人。

3. on the Q.T.

这是 on the quiet 的缩写，意思是“secretly 秘密的，私下的”，“悄悄地进行自然就是私下的了”，比如：They told her on the Q.T. that she was being promoted. 他们私下里告诉她，她升职了。

这个片语也可以用小写形式：on the q.t.

（去食品杂货店的）购物单。鉴于现在日用品和食品的价格上涨过快，建议大家去超市前都列个购物清单、按单购买，这样不仅可以省钱，还免得你买太多零食长胖。

可以意译为“你没有姓吗？”

影片简介

Brokeback Mountain 一段令人心碎的爱情之旅

Brokeback Mountain is an Academy Award-winning 2005 romantic drama film that depicts the relationship between two men in the American West from 1963 to 1983.

The film was directed by Taiwanese director Ang Lee from a screenplay by Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry, which they adapted from the short story Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx. The film stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams.

Brokeback Mountain won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and was honored with Best Picture and Best Director accolades from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and Independent Spirit Awards among many other organizations and festivals. Brokeback Mountain had the most nominations (eight) for the 78th Academy Awards, where it won three: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score. The film was widely considered to be a frontrunner for the Academy Award for Best Picture, but lost to Crash. However, at the end of its theatrical run, Brokeback Mountain ranked eighth among the highest grossing romantic-dramas of all time.
