看《隱藏人物》學(xué)口語：在NASA的黑人女性

【影片簡介】

《隱藏人物》是由美國二十世紀(jì)福斯電影公司發(fā)行，該片講述了在二十世紀(jì)的60年代，幾個黑人女性與讓人震驚的種族偏見作斗爭，最終在美國的航天計劃中占有了一席之地。這是一個IBU成功而又暖心的電影，它不包括憤怒和斥責(zé)的元素，制作者用這種優(yōu)越感和決心打消了質(zhì)疑者們的懷疑。告訴我們用自己的努力和才華所給予歧視者的反擊永遠(yuǎn)會是最為鏗鏘有力的聲音。

【選詞片段】

Catherine: Well, I was just fixing my three babies some plates.

Johnson: May I help?

Catherine: Sure. Ah, for salad!

Johnson: Pastor mentioned you’re a “computer” at NASA

Catherine: Yes!

Johnson: What’s that entail?

Catherine: We calculate the mathematics necessary to enable launch and landing for the space program.

Johnson: Pretty heady stuff!

Catherine: Yes, it is.

Johnson: They let women handle that sort of...Yes, Not what I mean!

Catherine: What do you mean?

Johnson: I am...just surprised something so taxing.

Catherine: Mr. Johnson! If...you at the quit talking right now?

Johnson: I’m not meaning any disrespect.

Catherine: I’ll have you know I was the first Negro female student at west virgina university Graduate school. On any given day, I analyze the manometer levels for air displacement friction and velocity and compute over 10,000 calculations my cosine, square root and lately Analytic Goemetry. By the way, there are 20 bright highly capable Negro women in the west computing Group and we’re proud to be doing our part for the country. So yes, They let women do some things at NASA, Mr. Johnson. And it’s not because we wear skirts...It’s because we wear glasses. Have a good day.
