以下为电影《重回十七岁》精彩对白中英文对照，希望对大家的英语学习有所帮助：
麦克在向即将离婚的妻子争辩：抱怨剪不断、理还乱的往日纠葛：
Mike: What the hell are you doing? Hey, that's my stuff. Why are you destroying our yard?
Mike:你究竟在干什么？嗨，那是我的东西。你为什么要毁掉我们的后院？
Scarlet: It's not our yard. It's my yard, remember? You took the road not taken. And I get the yard. I'm going to turn it into a showpiece for my clients.
Scarlet:这已经不是我们的后院了，这是我的后院，记得吗？你选择了曾经丢弃的路，于是我得到了这后院。我要把它当样品，给客户作参考。
Mike: Clients of what? 什么客户？
Scarlet:Landscape design. 'm going to show people what I can do. 园林设计。我要让人们知道我的本事。
Mike: Yeah, well, the divorce isn't final for another two weeks, so you have no right.
Mike:好吧，但是离婚手续还有两周才完成，所以你没有权利这么做。
Scarlet:Really? So I've spent the last 18 years of my life listening to you whine about the things you could've done without me, and I have no right?
Scarlet:是吗？我已经花了18年来听你抱怨说--那些如果没有我你本可以做到的事情，而我还没有权利这么做？
Mike: It's just I put a lot of work into this yard. 只是因为我在这个院子上花了很多工夫。
Scarlet:Did you? Really? Like the barbeque pit? 有吗？真的吗？比如这个烧烤炉？
Mike: Yeah. 是的。
Scarlet:Yeah. The way I remember that is that you spent about an hour working on it and then you spent the next two days complaining about if you had gone to college, you could've hired someone else to do it.
Scarlet:是啊，可我怎么记得你只摆弄了一个小时，就抱怨了两天，说你如果去读了大学，你就可以雇个人来做了。
Mike: I don't think it was a whole two days. 我应该没有抱怨两天吧。
Scarlet:Or the hammock over here. 或者是这张吊床。
Mike: Yeah? 怎么了？
Scarlet:I think you quit that one because you just decided not to try anymore. 我觉得你只是因为不想再尝试一下，所以就半途而废了。
Mike: Look, try to see things from my point of view. I am extremely disappointed with my life. 听着，你应该站在我的角度考虑一下。我对自己的生活失望透了。
Scarlet:I never asked you to marry me. 我从未央求你一定要娶我。
Mike: Yeah, but I did. 是的，但我还是娶了你。
Scarlet:.Well ... you don't have to do me any more favors, then. We're not going to hold each other back anymore, okay? 好吧……你不用再好心为我做这么多事了。我们不用再相互忍让对方了，好吗？
Mike: Scar... 斯嘉……
Scarlet:.I'll see you at court, okay? At the trial. 我们法院见。判决时再说。
