文化面面觀  傳媒大鱷--Rupert Murdoch

我觀之我見  故事的結(jié)局旨在贊揚 Andy，贊揚她找回自我、不慕虛榮、腳踏實地追求夢想。然而，記者的職位和高級時裝其實只是不同的夢想罷了……

影片對白

Miranda: So... first of all, we need to move Snoop Dogg to my table.

Andy: But your table's full.

Miranda: Stephen isn't coming.

Andy: Oh, Stephen is... so I don't need to fetch Stephen from the airport tomorrow?

Miranda: Well, if you speak to him and he decides to rethink the divorce... then, yes, fetch away. You're very fetching, so go fetch. And then when we get back to New York, we need to contact, um... Leslie to see what she can do to minimize the press... on all this. Another divorce... splashed across Page Six. I can just imagine what they're gonna write about me. The Dragon Lady, career-obsessed. Snow Queen drives away another Mr. Priestly. Rupert Murdoch should cut me a check... for all the papers I sell for him. Anyway, I don't... I don't really care what anybody writes about me. But my... my girls, I just... It's just so unfair to the girls. It's just... another disappointment... another letdown, another father... figure... gone. Anyway, the point is... the point is... the point is we really need to figure out where to place Donatella because she's barely speaking to anyone.

Andy: I'm so sorry, Miranda. If you want me to cancel your evening, I can.

Miranda: Don't be ridiculous. Why would we do that?

Andy: Um, is... is there anything else I can do?

Miranda: Your job. That's all.

Nigel: Hi. I need Miranda's itinerary for tomorrow.

Andy: Okay. Come in.

Nigel: Who put that together for you?

Andy: This? Oh, it's just something I threw on.

Nigel: Turn around. Let me see. Turn. Mm. Incroyable. It's really just... No, it's... No, okay, good. Really. I think that my work here is done. We're going to celebrate. I'm going to get some champagne.

Andy: Okay. What are we toasting?

Nigel: We are toasting, my dear, to the dream job. The one that a million girls wanted.

Andy: Which I got months ago.

Nigel: I'm not talking about you.

Andy: Mm-hmm.

Nigel: James Holt...

Andy: Yeah.

Nigel: Massimo Corteleoni... is investing in James's company and taking it global.

Andy: Mm-hmm.

Nigel: Bags, shoes, fragrances... the works. And James needs a partner. And that partner would be me.

Andy: Does Miranda...

Nigel: No, no, Miranda knows, because...

Andy: Oh.

Nigel: Oh, she put me up for it. Oh God, no. Can you imagine?

Andy: But... but... but you're leaving. I can't imagine Runway without you.

Nigel: I know, I know, but I'm so excited though. This is the first time in 18 years I'm going to be able to call the shots in my own life. Oh, my God!

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. Page Six

Page Six 是New York Post 《紐約郵報》的娛樂八卦專欄，該報紙為傳媒大鱷Rupert Murdoch所有，所以 Miranda 才說他應該給自己支付報酬，因為自己的離婚上了《紐約郵報》，會讓報紙的銷量大增。

2. Dragon lady

Dragon lady 這個表達來自于 Milton Caniff 的連環(huán)漫畫 Terry and the Pirates，該漫畫在1934到1973年間創(chuàng)作并在很多報紙上連載，風行一時。Dragon Lady 是其中一個邪惡的亞洲女人的名字，現(xiàn)在常被用來指“強大的、統(tǒng)治欲強的女人；好戰(zhàn)的女人；危險、充滿誘惑力的女人”，例如：They called her the neighborhood dragon lady--she was always yelling at the children.

3. Snow Queen

安徒生童話The Snow Queen 中的人物。The Snow Queen, queen of the snowflakes or "snow bees", who travels throughout the world with the snow. Her palace and gardens are in the lands of permafrost, specifically Spitsbergen. 她把人類綁架到她的宮殿中去。人類受了她的影響后，看到的世界中只有丑惡。Snow Queen代表著世界冷漠、黑暗的一面。
