English in Movies. Stuart Little, 1999




 “I just heard from the Brooklyn cats. Bad news. The Stouts squealed. – I knew those mice were rats.”

FROM: (Stuart Little, 1999)




 “I have just received the bad news. The Stouts gave away all the secrets. – I knew those mice were informers.”


πŸ”Ž To Hear from somebody – to get news or information from someone; to receive/obtain news.


πŸ”Ž To Squeal – to squeal, yell, or squeak loudly (if we are talking about an animal), in this case, “squealed” means “to betray, to let slip, to give away secret information.”


πŸ”Ž Rat – a rat (an insult for someone who gives out secret information or turns you into the authorities)/ an informer, a squealer, a snitch.


πŸ“š This film has a lot of animal-related vocabulary and funny wordplay that is simply not reflected and almost lost in any translation, making the translated movie more unexciting and bland than the original one.

CHAPTER II: WELCOME TO NEW REALITY

  CHAPTER II: WELCOME TO NEW REALITY       Having looked around, I made sure I’m in relative safety in here. The next thing I did was check how my new body “works”. After the warm-up exercise, I was feeling excited. There’s no pain anymore, nothing hurts, and my new body obeys my orders perfectly. Of course, I’m a little awkward now but that can be explained since I still have to get used to my new body. A little time will pass and I fully adapt to this new body. Then, I think, everything will be perfect with movement, muscles and so forth and so on. Okay, this has been sorted out and now – let’s check out the surrounding world and whether I possess all the six senses in this virtual world and I wonder whether they can be distinguished from the real ones. I have to check it since I haven’t tasted anything eatable so far here and tactile sensations haven’t been experienced either. But this is a matter of time. It’s necessary to be consistent so as not to screw...
