影片對白：
Dorian: This young lady.
Manager: Miss Sibyl Vane, my lord, in the role of Ophelia.
Sibyl: ...see that noble and most sovereign reason like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh. That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth blasted with ecstasy. Oh, woe is me.
Manager: May I present the Theatre Royale's Miss Sibyl Vane, my lord?
Gray: I'm not really a lord. I don't know why he keeps saying that.
Sibyl: We don't get many gentlemen in this theatre.
Gray: Really? Well, then, I shall recommend it to them.
Sibyl: May I ask what brings you to my dressing room?
Gray: Well, I...I just happened to be passing the theatre and...Well, you see, I was in the gin shop...
Sibyl: I know.
Gray: You remember? Well, a friend took me there for the first time. Well, I say the first time. Of course, I have...Well, I wanted to... wanted to say hello, but then you left with...
Sibyl: With Jim.
Gray: Yes. Quite. Jim.
Sibyl: My brother.
Gray: Brother?
Sibyl: Mm.
Gray: Well, that's splendid! Sorry. It was wrong of me to... Please forgive my intrusion, Miss Vane.
Sibyl: Wait! There's something you haven't told me.
Gray: Yes, of course. I do beg your pardon. Ophelia is a most challenging role and your performance this evening was...impeccable. In fact, extraordinary. In fact...you are extraordinary. And when I saw you on the stage, and even more so, now I stand before you, I am awestruck and humbled by your radiance.
Sibyl: I meant your name. You didn't tell me your name.
***************************
Sibyl: So, how many other girls do you bring here?
Gray: Hundreds. Thousands.
Sibyl: You must be courting dozens at least.
Gray: No.
Sibyl: You can tell me the truth.
Gray: There's only you. There's only you.
*****************
Henry: Tell me, what are your actual relations with this young thing?
Basil: A fraction of respect, man.
Gray: It's not like that. Sibyl's sacred.
Henry: It's only the scared things that are worth touching. People nowadays fear their passions.
Gray: Well, I don't.
Henry: Of course you do. We're taught terror from the nursery. Terror of God, or, even worse, of scandal. We're taught to spend our entire lives cowering in self-denial. The truth, Mr Gray, is that every impulse we strangle only poisons us.
Basil: You'll make him wish he'd never mentioned the girl.
Tailor: Well, Monsieur.
Henry: There's something missing.
Gray: Thank you, Harry.
Gray: I took the liberty of filling it with my blend.
********************
Sibyl: Oh, Dorian. It's beautiful.
Gray: I just thought it would suit you.
Sibyl: I should be going. Jim will worry.
Gray: Of course. Or we could...I mean...You could...stay...here...with me. We shouldn't be afraid of our feelings, Sib.
Sibyl: It's just...I've seen other girls who give themselves, and then I've seen what becomes of them.
Gray: I love you. Forgive me. I didn't mean...
Sibyl: You're all I ever want in the world.

4. awestruck: 充滿敬畏的。
5. court: 求愛。影片中Sibyl覺得像Dorian這么英俊的男子可能同時在和幾個女人談戀愛，她有點(diǎn)不相信自己會那么幸運(yùn)。看一下例子：We used to go there when we were courting.（我們談戀愛的時候常去那兒。）court還可以表示“設(shè)法贏得（某種地位等），求取”，例如：The teacher tried to court popularity by giving his students very little work.（老師給學(xué)生布置很少的作業(yè)以博得他們的好感。）

9. take the liberty of doing sth.: 未經(jīng)許可做某事。liberty指的是“（未經(jīng)許可的）冒昧行為；放肆，失禮”。請看例子："Whenever he needs a car he just takes mine, without asking whether I mind." "What a liberty!" （“他一需要用車，就開走我的車，也不問我是否介意。”“真是太過分了！”）
