A Perfect Day
Olga Kurylenko還是正到掉渣
片名《A Perfect Day》 其實是一種諷刺的手法，
電影角色在任務中碰到了各種阻撓、困難，
有一種 ”What a perfect day!” 的反諷意味。
以輕鬆有趣的基調演述戰爭的荒謬與殘酷，
從井裡吊出一具屍體出發，
從而看到各種趁火打劫、愚昧官僚、爭取生存罔顧他人的人性面，
令人不勝唏噓。

大家好，我是Y.C Bradley，可以叫我Brad。
我只是個業餘的電影、英文學習愛好者，這文章系列是希望讀者們能有更好的觀影體驗，同時增進英文能力。
此表格收錄的單字、片語和俚語，是我主觀所選，以電影中的意思為主翻譯，並以出現的先後順序排列。
怎麼利用此表格，讀者們可以自由發揮。建議在觀影之前，先瀏覽過單字，並在觀影時，將電影的「英文」字幕開啟。之後如果重看，更可以試著關掉字幕。一部電影可能會有很多不懂單字，不必要求全部學會；若是能加深自己對某些單字或片語的印象，和畫面聲音有連結，進而永遠記住，那才是更重要的。
學語言要開心學，最有效果。語言最精髓的是「用法」，翻譯永遠只是片面的「輔助」。當我聽到學過的單字出現在電影裡，心情是悸動的，遠遠勝過從單字本或課本學習英文。
祝，觀影愉快。
