ダウントンアビー　ドラマ

Downton Abbey見終わりました。貴族階級と庶民の使う英語のギャップがすごいですね。イギリス英語と言っても多様性があることを再認識させられました。上流階級の使ういわゆるRP発音は相変わらずわかりやすい。庶民の使うRP以外の発音は相変わらず難しい。イギリスの現地で出くわすのは圧倒的に庶民の英語です。圧倒的な英語の表現力は毎回のことですが、前回のドラマが、天敵シャーロックホームズでしたので、今回は自分のイギリス英語耐久性が上がった気がします。

今回も自分からはアウトプットできない表現を尺度にピックアップしたものを下記に挙げておきます。その分量ワードで２８７ページ。語彙データベースに登録しておきました。２０年ほど前イギリス留学していましたが、今でさえこんな状態なのに、当時はよく現地にいたものだと、若いって怖いなと思うところです。このドラマのわたしのメンタルへの影響は甚大です。真剣にイギリス貴族になりたいアラフィフ埼玉県民引きこもり。やべー恥ずかしい。よしこういう時は筋トレだ！

Mr Molesley: "I'll do this," he says. "I'll take the other. I'll tie that." I'm just stood there like a chump, watching a man get dressed. To be honest, Mr Bates, I don't see the point of it. (Downton Abbey)

 

I've been paid the compliment of a visit. (Downton Abbey)

 

Sorry, chump. (Downton Abbey)

Will you tell us why, preferably without any more cheek? (Downton Abbey)

 

I cannot think of another reason why you should congregate here. (Downton Abbey)

Papa's sister is always nagging him to send supplies to London, and then we cable her so her butler can be at King's Cross to meet them. It's idiotic, really. (Downton Abbey)

"cable 〔人に〕電報を打つ〔メッセージやお金を〕電信で送る"

 

Anna: Have you had any breakfast? Daisy: Not a crumb. (Downton Abbey)

 

If one of you knows anything about this, will he or she please come to me? Your words will be heard in the strictest confidence. (Downton Abbey)

 

You clumsy clodhopper. (Downton Abbey)

 

Silly chump. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mr Carson's a bit cast down. (Downton Abbey)

What was he thinking? I'm afraid it'll cost him his job. (Downton Abbey)

 

"Shall I remind you of some of the choicest remarks you made about me when I arrived here?  Because they live in my memory as fresh as the day they were spoken." (Downton Abbey)

 

I can't see that coming off. (Downton Abbey)

Violet, Countess of Grantham: Mary, listen to me. If you take Matthew now when his whole future is at risk, he will love you to the end of his days. Lady Sybil: Why, Granny, you're a romantic. Violet, Countess of Grantham: I've been called many things, but never that. (Downton Abbey)

It's hard with a new concept. Too old, they can't change. Too young, and they've no experience. (Downton Abbey)

 

Miss O'Brien: That filthy, ungrateful cow. (Downton Abbey)

 

Someone even saw her with a big carry-all. (Downton Abbey)

 

He had that coming. (Downton Abbey)

 

Sir Anthony Strallan: I don't seem to be able to find your sister. Lady Mary: I wonder where she is. Of course, she may have been cornered. I know there was some old bore she was trying to dodge. Sir Anthony Strallan: Who was that? Lady Mary: I'm not sure. He's simply ghastly apparently, but he's promised to propose today. I can't tell you how funny she was when she acted it out. She ought to go on the stage. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mary is to be denied her countess's coronet after all?　　メアリーは結局、伯爵夫人の戴冠式を拒否されることになったのか？ (Downton Abbey)

 

Lady Edith: Won't the call up put you all out of your jobs? Branson: I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. (Downton Abbey)

 

"Cora's flower always look more suited to a first communion in southern Italy." (Downton Abbey)

 

We can't know if Matthew will come through it. (Downton Abbey)

 

Did I tell you I've been given a colonelcy in the North Riding Volunteers? So, I'm properly in the army again. (Downton Abbey)

 

So there's to be no convalescence at all? (Downton Abbey)

 

You see, if you don't come back to me, I'm going to the newspapers with a cracking story, and I'd like to bet the Granthams won't survive it. (Downton Abbey)

 

You won't be called up at once. Not while there are younger men to be taken. (Downton Abbey)

 

Branson: Then bet on me. And if your family casts you off, it won't be forever. They'll come around. And until they do, I promise to devote every waking minute to your happiness. (Downton Abbey)

 

Please don't make fun of me. It's cost me all I've got to say these things. (Downton Abbey)

 

We old codgers have our work cut out for us, keeping spirits high at home. Someone must. (Downton Abbey)

 

I just hope Mr Carson doesn't spontaneously combust. (Downton Abbey)

 

Is there any chance it might be permanent? That we can count you out of danger? It would be such a relief. (Downton Abbey)

 

Crikey. Where did you see him? (Downton Abbey)

 

He wanted to hang up the livery before it got creased. (Downton Abbey)

She's awfully cut up that I have to go early, but it's only to Coventry, which doesn't sound too dangerous. (Downton Abbey)

 

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Because this is a house, not a hospital. Lady Mary: But, Granny, a convalescent home is where people rest and recuperate. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mr Lang: So, still full of the joys of warfare? William: I'm not sorry to be part of it, Mr Lang, and I can't pretend I am. Mr Lang: Oh, yes, you're part of it. Like a metal cog is part of a factory, or a grain of sand is part of the beach. (Downton Abbey)

 

Surely all wounded men need to convalesce. (Downton Abbey)

 

"The hospital is for officers, and the whole idea is to have a complimentary convalescent home." (Downton Abbey)

 

Ethel: It's so strange to see the rooms converted into dormitories. Anna: But good. It was wrong for our life to chug along as if the war were only happening to other people. (Downton Abbey)

 

I'm going to be a conscientious objector. (Downton Abbey)

 

I hadn't cast you as Florence Nightingale. (Downton Abbey)

 

Branson: Only if you're planning to humiliate the British army. I suppose you're glad. Lady Sybil: You're not going to be killed and you're not going to prison, of course I'm glad! Branson: Don't count your chickens. If I don't get them one way, I'll get them another. (Downton Abbey)

 

Dr Clarkson: Lady Grantham and Mrs Crawley will both accompany us as we go around, sir. General Strutt: Makes a nice change from the craggy-faced warriors I'm usually surrounded by. (Downton Abbey)

 

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, war breaks down barriers, and when peacetime re-erects them, it can be very easy to find oneself on the wrong side. Lady Mary: Really, Granny. How can you say that I am too worldly, but Sybil's not worldly enough? You cannot be so contrary. Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I'm a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose. (Downton Abbey)

"It's no good in thinking you can set up here without a moment's notice and be cock of the walk." (Downton Abbey)

 

Mr Molesley (still panting): Are you staying for good? Mr Bates: I'd need a crystal ball to answer that, but I'll stay for now. Have you been standing in for me? (Downton Abbey)

 

Whatever it takes, I want a clean break and not an open wound if we can just be patient a little while longer. (Downton Abbey)

 

Matthew Crawley: They're going to chuck everything they've got at us. William: Then we shall have to chuck it back, won't we, sir? (Downton Abbey)

 

Will he come through it? (Downton Abbey)

 

If you'd only see the child. He's a lovely wee chap. (Downton Abbey)

 

Of course, we both know that if we marry, people - your people - will think you've conferred a great blessing on me. My house will welcome the finest in the land, my children will carry noble blood in their veins. But that won't be the whole story, will it? Not anymore. (Downton Abbey)

 

We've a bit of a conundrum, my lord. As you may know, we're short of a housemaid. We've had an application from a local woman Jane Moorsum, but she's married and she has a child, a son. (Downton Abbey)

 

I tried and failed to save him from conscription. (Downton Abbey)

 

I feel sorry for Ethel, but I cannot condone her inability to pronounce a simple two letter word, "No." (Downton Abbey)

 

the cat that walks by himself and all places are alike to me  一人歩きの猫、どこもかしこも似たり寄ったり。by Rudyard Kipling

I am the cat that walks by himself and all places are alike to me. I have nothing to give and nothing to share. If you were not engaged to be married, I wouldn't let you anywhere near me. (Downton Abbey)

 

You'd think he was in Mary's sole charge. I'm worried it'll mean a big adjustment for him when we marry. (Downton Abbey)

 

Never leave anything to chance, my lady, that's my motto. (Downton Abbey)

 

Now you've struck a chord. (Downton Abbey)

 

I'm sorry if it's a bit of a crush. I didn't want to be overheard. (Downton Abbey)

 

It was she who drew my attention to the plight of the war refugees. I feel very guilty since I chivvied you and now I'm jumping ship. But I can't run Downton as well. (Downton Abbey)

 

I'll say something now I hope won't have to repeat. If you think you can jilt me, or in some way set me aside, I tell you now, you have given me the power to destroy you, and don't think I won't use it. I want to be a good husband, and for you to be happy, but don't ever cross me, do you understand? Never. (Downton Abbey)

 

I like the new fashions. Shorter skirts, looser cuts. The old clothes were all very well if one spent the day on a chaise longue, but if one wants to get anything done, the new clothes are much better. (Downton Abbey)

 

I wanted to catch you alone. (Downton Abbey)

 

Let him go to Dublin and then you can use the calm to consider. (Downton Abbey)

 

This is what comes of spoiling her. (Downton Abbey)

 

catch as catch can

Mrs Hughes: Milord, we're two more maids down. I hope you can forgive some catch as catch can in the days ahead. (Downton Abbey)

 

God Almighty, how can this be? My whole life gone over a cliff in the course of a single day. (Downton Abbey)

 

carry off ～の命を奪う、～を死なせる、殺す

Lady Mary: I see what was worrying you. If Lavinia had been carried off, you wanted to be here to stop Matthew from falling into my arms on a tidal wave of grief. (Downton Abbey)

 

Actually, can you stay a moment? I was trying to think how to contrive a meeting and here you are. (Downton Abbey)

 

Do you always play charades on Christmas night? (Downton Abbey)

 

You gave him the thrill of the chase. He talked of nothing but you from dawn till the cows came home. And when he saw you felt the same, well...the pleasure was all the sweeter for the waiting, I promise you. (Downton Abbey)

 

It’s odd, isn’t it? Us just chatting away here while that poor man waits to hear his fate. (Downton Abbey)

 

LORD HEPWORTHI :  see it’s time for some honesty.

VIOLETA :  change is as good as a rest. (Downton Abbey)

 

LADY ROSAMUND : Lord Hepworth is not unsuitable, Mama. You are unjust.

VIOLET : He’s hardly the consummation devoutly to be wished.  (Downton Abbey)

 

He means the judge had no choice. If a man is found of murder, he must be sentenced to death, but there are many reasons for it to be commuted. (Downton Abbey)

 

I couldn’t do any more chatter. (Downton Abbey)

 

Go to Mrs. Patmore and explain to her why you think you’re worth more than you’re getting. Make your case. Put it to her. (Downton Abbey)

 

ANNA : What will you do in America?

LADY MARY : What I do here. Pay calls and go to dinners. My grandmother has houses in New York and Newport. It’ll be dull, but not uncomfortable. (Downton Abbey)

 

crossing  航海、渡航

MATTHEW : How are your plans for America going?

LADY MARY : I'll book my crossing as soon as I hear back from Grandmama. (Downton Abbey)

 

I say he should come here and fight his corner. (Downton Abbey)

 

Anna: Well, just remember what my mother used to say: never make an enemy by accident. Now, do you think you can get the notes done before my next visit? Bates: I don't see what can come of it. (Downton Abbey)

 

One day, something will occur to us and we'll follow it up, and the case against you will crumble. (Downton Abbey)

 

Cora: Mary was never gonna marry on the cheap. (Downton Abbey)

 

Much cattle, much care    : It means the more things you have, the more you have to look after and worry about them.

Matthew: I don't know about the rest of you, but I sometimes think it's time we lived in a simpler way. Isobel: I agree. Much cattle, much care. (Downton Abbey)

 

Larry Grey: I don't know why you're getting so hot under the collar. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mrs Levinson: Come war and peace, Downton still stands and the Crawleys are still in it. Cora. (Downton Abbey)

 

It was creased and I brought it down to iron. (Downton Abbey)

 

I wonder how that came about. (Downton Abbey)

 

Bates: Tell me about France. Did you eat frog's legs and dance the cancan? (Downton Abbey)

 

I'll remove some fluid from the cist. With any luck, it'll be clear and that will be that. (Downton Abbey)

 

This is what comes of making him run before he could walk. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mary: How is that poor footman? I thought Carson was going to eat him alive. Matthew: Very glum. To be honest, he has been a clot. I'll have to send the coat up to London. (Downton Abbey)

 

He's as rich as Croesus as it is. (Downton Abbey)

 

Mrs Hughes: For heaven's sake! We can't do things properly until either His Lordship allows us the staff we need or until you and the blessed Lady Mary come down from that cloud and join the human race! (Downton Abbey)

 

Chance would be a fine thing とは【意味】そういう機会があればありがたいのだが. (Downton Abbey)

 

Anna: I shouldn't tell you, really. I haven't told any of the others. It's breaking the code of a lady's maid. (Downton Abbey)

 

Robert: Well, I'm sorry, but this is quite unacceptable. If you uncover the culprit, refer them to me. But for now, what are we going to do? (Downton Abbey)

 

Mr Carson: Chop, chop, Mrs Hughes. We can rest later, but not yet. (Downton Abbey)

 

Strallan: Are you absolutely sure you won't wake up in ten years time and wonder why you're tied to this crippled old codger? Edith: Only if you keep talking like that. (Downton Abbey)

 

Anna: With most of the men I've ever met, if you started to court them, they'd be so terrified, they'd run a mile. (Downton Abbey)

 

She could do much better than that broken down old crock. (Downton Abbey)

 

Your sentiments do you credit, but I suspect she will be too ashamed to face how far she's fallen. (Downton Abbey)

 

Thomas: If the cap fits, wear it. (Downton Abbey)

 

I'll come for you when the coast is clear. (Downton Abbey)

 

And don't worry. I'll fight your corner with Travis if it comes to it. (Downton Abbey)

 

A walk to the village might blow some cobwebs away. (Downton Abbey)

 

You could do a cracking trade with jams and jellies and cake and all sorts. (Downton Abbey)

 

At the moment the capital is leaking into the cracks caused by bad management. (Downton Abbey)

 

I wouldn't countermand your father. (Downton Abbey)

The Ambassy Club was the first private club established in Shanghai since the founding of the People's Republic of China.[citation needed] It is located on Central Huaihai Road across from the United States Consulate, the Consulate of Iran, and near the Shanghai Library.

Although it has many local members, the Ambassy Club has a large number of American and European members. The managers are required to know English.[citation needed]

The club has several restaurants, each offering a different type of cuisine. There are two upscale restaurants. One offers Japanese cuisine prepared and served in traditional methods. The other offers gourmet Chinese cuisine. There is also a café-type restaurant, which serves American and European style food, as well as snacks, desserts, pastries, and coffee. The club also has a unique “piano” bar, which has an exclusive, jazz-club feel. There is live music nightly, plus a selection of some of the finest liquors and cigars available in China. The name Ambassy Club comes from an alternate spelling of Embassy, and refers to the proximity of the club to the U.S. and Iranian Consulates. The Chinese name for the club is Hong Yi.

Anna: I bet Thomas'd like it if they took you for a thief. Mr Bates: Yes, I expect he would. Anna: Go upstairs now and find it.

I let myself get flustered. I regard that as highly unprofessional. It won't happen again. (Downton Abbey)

 

Sir Richard Carlisle: Maybe. Are you shocked by my bold and modern values? Lady Mary: Oh, Sir Richard, you flatter yourself. It takes a good deal more than that to shock me. (Downton Abbey)

 

So she needs a suitable marriage that will mend her fences. (Downton Abbey)

 

You've also got Her Ladyship wrapped 'round your little finger. (Downton Abbey)

 

She knows some of those feebleminded idiots on the liberal front bench. (Downton Abbey)

 

Thomas: I'm afraid Mrs Crawley's none too pleased to play second fiddle, sir. Dr Clarkson: Well, I hope she doesn't spoil things. (Downton Abbey)

 

Would we really be right to tell the police and cause a furore and bring riot down on our heads? And all because he wanted to pour a pot of slop over a man's head? (Downton Abbey)

 

"Don't fret." (Downton Abbey)

 

"He is frightfully full of himself." (Downton Abbey)

I don't care if you can't walk. You must think me very feeble if you believe that would make a difference. (Downton Abbey)

We will not fall out over this. (Downton Abbey)

If we can disagree over something as fundamental as this, then...shouldn't we be brave and back away now? (Downton Abbey)

 

Matthew (disapproving): So you mean to fleece her. (Downton Abbey)

 

This is Thomas's doing. But don't you fret. I'll make him sorry. (Downton Abbey)

Guinea a minute means something or someone that is great fun, and worth a “guinea a minute.” A guinea was “a gold coin issued in England from 1663 to 1813 and worth one pound and one shilling.” “That day made a high festival for her, and, to use her own expressive phrase, ‘was worth a guinea a minute to her.'” Letters of Chauncey Wright, 1878

Mr Carson: You didn't know her when she was a child, Mrs Hughes. She was a guinea a minute then.
