影片對白：

Makunga: Oops! I hate to be a party pooper, Zuba, but some of the other lions were wondering when you plan to banish your son.

Zuba: What are you talking about Makunga?

Makunga: It's nothing, really. They're griping about how Alakay never went through therite of passage, blah, blah, blah. So technically speaking, he can't be a member of the pride. It's nonsense.

Zuba: I forgot about the rite of passage.

Alex：What is it? What's this rite of passage?

Zuba: It’s a traditional coming-of-age ceremony. Young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills.

Alex：Sort of a show of skill? Talent show?

Zuba: Yeah. Strutting their stuff.

Alex：A performance! I think that'sup my alley. If it's a tradition,I want to do it. Strut my stuff. Earn my mane. I want to be Alaki.

Lioness: Alakay.

Alex：Alakay! Even better.

Zuba: We will hold the rite of passage in the morning!

Makunga: That's wonderful! Good luck, Alakay.

Alex：Where I'm from,we say,Break a leg!

Zuba: That's my boy!

Julien：I'm a private dancer. A dancer for money. Any old music will do.

Gloria：Beautiful, isn't it?

Melman：Yeah！

Marty：It's amazing.

Alex：Guys...this is where we belong.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1.party pooper：（社交聚會上)態度冷峻的人,掃大家興的人,煞風景的人。影片中別有用心的Makunga說：“我也不想在聚會上掃興，Zuba。”

Don't be a partty-pooper. 別掃興。

2.gripe: 抱怨，牢騷。影片中一心想當首領的Makunga尋釁挑事，對Zuba說：“只是他們對Alakay沒有進行儀式感到不滿。”來看例句：

a gripe session 提意見座談會

My main gripe is, there's no hot water.我最不滿的是沒有熱水。

3.rite of passage：標志人生重大變化的事件，成人儀式。

4.coming-of-age：成年，成熟。影片中Zuba對Alex說：“就是傳統的成人儀式。”

5.strut one's stuff: 大顯身手，賣弄自己的一套。Zuba給Alex解釋道：“沒錯，展示一下你自己。

6.up one's alley:某人拿手的工作。影片中Alex興奮的說:“這正合我的口味。”來看例句：

This program is up your alley. It's a murder story. 這個節目是謀殺故事，正合你的口味。

An assignment that is right up your alley. 一項正好讓你去發揮才能的任務。

7.break a leg: 祝好運！祝你馬到成功！影片中Makunga覺得計劃就要得逞，得意的對Alex說：“那太好了，祝你好運！”

You'll do great. Break a leg.你會干的很棒的。祝你好運！
