Ford v Ferrari /《极速车王》

(jísù chēwánɡ)

1. We're lighter, we're faster, and if that don't work, we're nastier.

我们的车更轻,更快,要是这样都不管用的话,那就是我们太菜了。

(wǒmén de chē ɡènɡqīnɡ, ɡènɡkuài, yàoshì zhèyànɡ dōub ùɡuǎnyònɡ de huà, nàjiùshì wǒmén tàicài le.)

2. Nothing wrong with the car. It's the way it's being driven.

车没有一点问题,问题出在驾驶方式上。

(chē méiyǒu yīdiǎn wèntí, wèntí chūzài jiàshǐ fānɡshì shànɡ.)

3. If you're going to push a piece of machinery to the limit, and expect it to hold together, you have to have some sense of where that limit is.

要想把一部机器的潜能发挥到极限,而且还要它保持不散架,首先你要知道它的极限在哪里。

(yàoxiǎnɡ bǎy ībù jīqì de qiánnénɡ fāhuī dàojíxiàn, érqiě háiyào tā bǎochí bùsànjià, shǒuxiān nǐyào zhīdào tāde jíxiàn zài nǎlǐ.)

4. I want the best engineers, the best drivers. I don't care what it costs. We're going to build a race car.

我要最好的工程师,最好的司机。我不在乎成本。我们要造出一辆赛车来。

(wǒyào zuìhǎo de ɡōnɡchénɡshī, zuìhǎo de sījī. wǒ bùzàihū chénɡběn. wǒmén yào zàochū yīliànɡ sàichēlái.)

5. Sometimes words just are not useful.

有时候说话是不管用的。

(yǒushíhòu shuōhuà shì bùɡuǎnyònɡ de.)

6. Can I ask you a question? The only question that matters. Who are you? 

我能问你个问题吗？唯一重要的问题,你是谁？

(wǒ nénɡ wènnǐ ɡè wèntíma？wéiyī zhònɡyào de wèntí, nǐshìshuí？)

7. If this were a beauty pageant, we just lost. 

如果这是一场选美比赛的话,我们已经输了。

(rúɡuǒ zhèshì yīchǎnɡ xuǎnměi bǐsài de huà, wǒmén yǐjīnɡ shūle.)
