【选段台词】

Dory: A boat? Hey! I’ve seen a boat. It passed by not too long ago. It went this way. It went this way. Follow me.

Marlin: Wait a minute. What is going on? You already told me which way the boat was going.

Dory: I did? Oh, no.

Marlin: If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny. And I know funny. I'm a clownfish.

Dory: No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry. See, I suffer from short-term memory loss.

Marlin: Short-term memory loss. I don't believe this.

Dory: No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly. It runs in my family. At least, I think it does. Um, hmm. Where are they? Can I help you?

Marlin: Something's wrong with you--really. You're wasting my time. I have to find my son.

Bruce: Hello.

Marlin: -Ohh.

Dory: -Well, hi!

Bruce: Name's Bruce. It's all right. I understand. Why trust a shark, right? So, what's a couple of bites like you... doing out so late, eh?

Marlin: We're not doing anything. We're not even out.

Bruce: Great! Then how'd you morsels... Iike to come to a little get-together I'm having?

Dory: You mean, like a party?

Bruce: Yeah, right. A party. What do you say?

Dory: I love parties. That sounds like fun.

Marlin: Parties are fun, and it's tempting, but--

Bruce: Oh, come on, I insist.

Marlin: OK. That's all that matters.

Dory: Hey, look, balloons, It is a party,

Bruce: Ha ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want one of them to pop.

【重点词汇】

1. short-term memory loss

蓝唐王鱼多莉答应帮助小丑鱼马林找他的儿子，但是在小丑鱼一次次问她有关信息时，多莉总不记得这些。short-term memory loss意思是短期记忆丧失，相对的是long-term memory loss 意思是长期记忆丧失。

2. run in

当小丑鱼马林不相信多莉说的短期记忆丧失时，多莉解释说这个是家族遗传的。Run in 有“运行、追捕、试车”之意，在这里意译为“遗传”。

2. something's wrong with

刚开始小丑鱼马林听到多莉的短期记忆丧失时，还觉得不可思议，绝对是借口，而后多莉又问了一次“你有什么需要帮忙的吗？”，马林开始相信，多莉真的有点问题。Something is wrong with somebody 意思是某人有问题，如果是在医院病人对医生说“Something is wrong with me”意思则是“我身体有点不舒服”。

4. mind your distance

小丑鱼马林和多莉一起跟着鲨鱼布鲁斯踏上了前往派对的旅程。马林和多莉对于海中的气球非常感兴趣，很想摸一摸，这时布鲁斯让他们最好小心点，不要弄破气球。Mind your distance 直译是“注意距离”，在这里意译为“小心点”。
