早在两个星期前就去电影院看过了《中国合伙人》这部影片。总体感觉：影片很励志、很煽情、也很商业。对于影视英语爱好者来说，剧情之后，我比较关注中国合伙人里面的英文台词，这部电影还真没让人失望，确实有几句经典台词和感人对白。

以下为电影《中国合伙人》成孟王三人抵达美国后，与美国人针对WIPO版权事宜进行交涉和谈判的对白节选。

Wang: Mr. Bono .It's a gift ,from me.

Bono:You’ve gone to Chinatown ?

Wang:Chinese Moon cakes . Next week is the moon festival. And if a fight breaks outlater , I have something to throw.

Bono: ha ha ha ha ha ha

Wang : oh hoo, you’ve got the joke, for you.

Cheng :Mr. Bono , we officially offer aformal apology, the acknowledge the commodity copyright infringement andprepare to settle.

Wang :But not fifteen million .

CHENG: Please, pick any clause you want , anyclause that is related to our copies.

Lady: Clause eleven.

Cheng: The WIPO copyrights and performances and phonograms treaties Implementation act of nineteen ninety-eight , amended section101 by adding《the definition of Geneva phonograms convention》pick another one please .

LADY: Thirty five.

Cheng: The WIPO Copy right and performances and phonograms treaties implementation act of nineteen ninety-eight, requires that some paragraphs D of the definition of eligible country take effect a partentry into force of the WIPO performances and phonograms treaties with respectto the United States which occurred on May 20th 2002.

Cheng: This because I memorized the entiretext on the plane coming here, it’s a skill that I mastered when I was eighteen, that year, I memorized the whole Xin Hua English dictionary , for yourinformation, I was only considered mediocre among my peers , Chinese studentsare extremely adept at taking exams , you can’t imagine what they are willingto go through to succeed, you don’t understand Chinese culture.

Meng: Mr. Bono , regardless of the final ruling,this meeting marks the start of our formal partnership , we hope the EES can enforceits copyrights in the Chinese market . We don’t like being called thieves,we've come here today, hoping to educate you about one thing, China has changed. Unfortunately , you are still stuck in the past.

Bono: Mr. Meng ,  I remind you, Yao Ming is in the NBA.

Meng: That’s because NBA was trying to tapinto the Chinese market, China is already the world’s largest market for Englishlanguage education, today , Chinese students don’t expect to stay in America,they want to go home. Yet you’re still stuck on whether they cheat on exams.

Cheng: Mr. Bono, before we came to the states, we debated whether to list the New Dream on the stock exchange , now ,I’vecome to a decision, New Dream’s IPO will be officially announced , today.

Bono: What makes you think I care .

Cheng: But you will care, I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity for the company to go public , now, I've got it . That’sright , it's you who give us this opportunity, thank you Mr. Bono, you are theone who has gained us the attention of potential investors form Wall Street,they will see us as a company with integrity and courage , that takes youresponsibility for its mistakes, the more we pay you in compensation , thegreat valuation we will get in the future.

In addition, there will be at least one more benefit from listing New Dream , someday, when we are no longerteachers, but the representatives of the world’s largest educational servicecooperation, you may finally show us the respect we deserve, we won’t have to relyon lawsuit to communicate with each other . More importantly ,I’m also doingthis for personally reasons , I have a friend , who is more brilliant that I will ever be, and more deserving of success , but when he came to America , Irealized the best man of my generation destroyed here , Mr. Bono , the playingfield has never been even , this is my way of reclaiming my friend's dignity. According to a Chinese proverb , I’m like a TUBIE, a soft shell of turtle , someoneafraid to go out and take risks, now ,I am standing here , terrified even as wespeak , but as my friend once said , some things are so important , that they force us to overcome our fears.

个人感觉：这段对白经过导演陈可辛的精心设计，可以说是《中国合伙人》电影收官前的高潮和压轴环节，配合当时的环境氛围以及黄晓明的精湛演技，很是煸情和鼓动人心，可惜的是：这段英文台词虽没有什么语法错误，但一听就是典型的中国式思维，没有经过美语思维的加工，显得不够地道。
