《灰猎犬号》中的冷门知识(4)

作为伪天爱，曾经因为starboard这个词里面有个star（恒星），还以为是观星的那一侧的意思，强行解释为因为港口有灯光，远离港口那一侧更适合观星……
11.开场旁白来自英国首相丘吉尔1941年12月26日在美国国会的演讲
Twice in a single generation the catastrophe of world war has fallen upon us. Twice in our lifetime has the long arm of fate reached out across the oceans to bring the United States into the forefront of the battle.
和美国总统罗斯福1941年10月27日的海军日演讲，此前有美军驱逐舰被德军潜艇攻击。
Our American merchant ships must be armed to defend themselves against the rattlesnakes of the sea. Our American merchant ships must be free to carry our American goods into the harbors of our friends. Our American merchant ships must be protected by our American Navy. It can never be doubted that the goods will be delivered by this nation, whose Navy believes in the tradition of "Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!"
12.汉克斯大爷真的很适合演Captain，基本已经把这个单词的几种意思都演了一遍。从《拯救大兵瑞恩》里的陆军上尉、到《菲利普船长》里的商船船长、《萨利机长》里的民航机长，再到这部片中的海军舰长。虽然片中舰长的军衔只是中校，但是美国海军的上校和舰长都可以叫Captain，此外舰长还有skipper等昵称。至于为啥开场时年纪一大把还是少校，估计是因为美军一战后裁军的缘故？
