看完这些经典英文电影你的口语听力会有大幅提升哦！高考落下了帷幕，高一高二的同学也迎来暑假，大家放松归放松，也千万不要只顾着玩把英语丢掉哦~今天小编就为大家推荐一些适合中学生观看的英文电影，大家不仅可以利用暑假重温经典，还可以在轻松娱乐的环境中提高英语口语水平，一起来看看吧~《阿甘正传》Forrest Gump也许你从未看过这部电影，但是你一定听说过这句话“Life was like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get.”(人生就像一盒巧克力, 你永远不知道下一颗是什么味道)这是电影《阿甘正传》中最经典的一句台词。
电影改编自美国作家温斯顿.格卢姆于1986年出版的同名小说，描绘先天智障的小镇男孩弗瑞斯特.甘自强不息，最终“傻人有傻福”(stupid is as stupid does)地得到上天眷顾，在多个领域创造奇迹的励志故事。
这也是小简老师最爱的一部电影，从一开始因为阿甘做傻事感到可笑可笑到后面为他的执着而感动，每一次观看都会让人有着不同的体会。
《雨人》Rain Man影片名为《雨人》，其实与雨并无关系，而是讲述了一个关于亲情的故事，影片中，男主发现父亲将遗产留给了患自闭症的哥哥，便计划骗取这笔财富，并计划利用哥哥超强的记忆力去赌博赢钱，但在此过程中，血缘的亲情打破了原有的疏离，真挚动人的手足之情取代了男主原先只求一己利益的私心。
该电影一经播出后便引起了很大关注，并于1989年获第61届奥斯卡最佳影片等4个奖项，以及金球奖，金熊奖等多个大奖。
而故事究竟为什么叫《雨人》，小简老师就不剧透了，看了这部电影你就会知道!《西雅图夜未眠》Sleepless in Seattle《西雅图夜未眠》是一部经典爱情电影，男主山姆在妻子去世后心如死水，与儿子杰一起在西雅图过着平静的生活。
而杰一直希望爸爸能够开始新的婚姻，重获生活的阳光。

I think it’s very hard for him to talk to you about all this. I thought maybe you and I could talk. It would make him feel better. Her first name could be “doctor”. It’s his Christmas wish. Okay. I know this is difficult. But how long ago did your wife die? About a year and a half ago. Have you had any relationships since? I don’t mean to be rude. I don’t want to invade your privacy.Sure you do. Go on. I’m listening. We had a pretty tough time there at first. But we’re dealing with it. And we will get along just fine again as soon as I break his radio. I have no doubt that you’re a wonderful father. You can tell a lot from a voice. But something must be missing if he still feels you’re under a cloud.Just a few questions. Are you sleeping at night? He doesn’tsleep at all. How do you know that? I live here. It’s Christmas. She really did it. She made everything beautiful. And it’s just tough this time of year. Any kid needs a mother. Could it be that you need someone just as much as he does? Don’t answer that. Let’s get into that right after these messages. Don’t go away.If you’ve just tuned in, we’re talking to sleepless in Seattle. We’ll be right back after this break with your listener response. What’s she talking about? This is when other people get to call in and dump on what you said.I’ll bet he’s tall with a cute butt. Bet he hasn’t bathed in(bathe: n,洗澡，游泳；v,洗澡，沐浴；bath: n, 浴盆，浴室；v, 洗澡) weeks and he stinks.Tea with the bag out. Maybe I’ll hustle myself out to Seattle. Give him a gift for new year’s eve. You go on out there if you want to, but don’t open his refrigerator. They don’t cover anything when they put it in the fridge. They just stick it in there and leave it till it walks out by itself. What I’m saying is,I wouldn’t kick this guy out of my bed for eating crackers(咸饼干)；, you know what I’m saying?sixty-five cents.L et’s take a call before we get back to sleepless. I would just like to know where I could getthis man’s address. Get in line(排队). Next caller, go ahead. If there was one question I was allowed to ask . people who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Do you think there’s someone out there you could love as much as your wife? That’s hard to imagine. What are you going to do? I’m going to get out of bed every moring, breathe（动词）in and out all day long（整天，全天）. And then after a while, I won’t have to think about how to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out. And then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while. Tell me what was so special about your wife?How long is your program? It was a million tiny little things. when you added them all up. It just meant we were supposed to be together. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home. Only to no home I’d ever known.I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car.W ell,folks,it’s time to wrap it up.and to all my listeners,a magical and merry（愉快地）christams.We’ll hope you can call again soon. Let us know how it’s going. You can count on（指望，依靠）it.T his man sells the greatest soup you’ve ever eaten and he is the meanest（卑鄙的）man inAmerica. I feel very strongly about this. It’s not just about the soup. Do it. what else? New year’s eve. Please don’t make me write it. Phone service in the greatest Chicago area was tied up（占线）for two hours on Christmas eve when some kid calls a phone-in radio show and says that his dad need a new wife. Two thousand women called the station asking for the guy’s number. I heard it. This kid calls up . this shrink forces the guy to the phone and says. As a matter of fact(事实上), I don’t.S uddenly, for no reason at all, he talks about how much he loved his wife and how he just fell inlove with her like he was one of those cows in Michigan. What cows in M? it was on 60 minutes. There were those cows that got zapped by stray voltage. No one knows why.Maybe it was Wisconsin. But anyway, it was listening to him talk about how much he loved his wife and suddenly I was crying. It’s like what happens when I watch those phone company ads.I don’t have to see the whole thing, just the part where the daughter gives the mother the refrigerator with the big red bow on it. The polarold commercial（商业广告）. Two 5- year-olds at their grandfather’s birthday party. They’re making the album.with the gule. That kills me. You should write something about this. Whatever it is two thousand women calling a radio station for a husband. There are a lot of desperate（不顾一切的，极度渴望的，令人绝望的）women out there looking for love.Especially over a certain age. It’s easier to be killed by a terrorist than get married over the age of 40. that statistic is not ture. There’s practically（实际上的，事实，）a whole book about how that’s not ture.Calm down you brought it up. Did you even read that book? Did anyone read it all the way through? Are you two finished? Now where were we? If someone is a widower （鳏夫）, why do they say that he was widowed? Why don’t they say he was widowered?I was just wondering.Y ou know,I’ve got to go to Boston for the convention,right? Then I got to visit Winston-Hughesabout switching over our computers. But why don’t we meet in new york for Valentine’s day weekend? Register you know,for dishes,glasses,sliver,everything. How about it? I will take you Chinatown（唐人街，中国城）for dim sum（点心）. Does it have wheat in it? I don’t think so.W ake up. The ball’s dropping. Okay,pal. I got ya（年轻人）. There we go.W hat do you want to do? We’ll tell him when he gets here. I don’t mind telling him. She’shere. She’s back. She has another idea I don’t need. I am so glad you’re here. I heard you on the radio. I told everyone about it. We already knew. The dispatcher（送信人）? All of Seattle knows. I was brushing my teeth and suddenly there you were. I couldn’t believe my ears.I called my mother in Las Vegas（拉斯维加斯）. I said mother, turn on the radio. That’s my architect.”It is so nice when a man can express his feelings. It’s wonderful. I wish I could express my feelings. Is there a problem? I was tossing and turning（辗转反侧）last night. I realized I am never going to fit my platters in the refrigerator we ordered. When I give parties,I always put in platters. So I thought I would get the sub-zero refrigerator instead. we have to redo all the cabinets（陈列柜）. We’ll be into this wall. That’s a bearing wall（承重墙）. delay the important thing is to get it right. Absolutely. Your words. i’ve got to rush La decorateur calls.T his is fate. She’s divorced. What do they call that when everything intersects（相交，交叉）? The Bermuda Triangle（百慕大三角洲）.A nd here’s another one. You got room for one more here? There you go（这边请，这下你会懂了，你又来这一套）. You all right there? Look at this. They’re all for you. In care of sb （由….. 转交）if you have trouble sleeping, drink a glass of water from the other side（从另一面）. I thought that was for hiccups（打嗝）.Does it work for hiccups?For hiccups,take a spoonful of sugar（一匙糖）and hold it in your mouth for a minute.W hat possessed（疯狂的，着魔的）you （你为什么这么傻）to give them our address?They called and asked for it. How did they get our number? Let me guess. You gave it to them. You have to give them your phone number, or they won’t let you on the air. I’m not even gonna think about what they’re not teaching you in school? Generally speaking, we should rule out(排除，取消，划去)anyone that doesn’t live near here(附近). She’s willing to fly anywhere. She looks like my third grade teacher. I hated her. Aren’t you gonna read any of these? This is not how it’s done. I’d much rather just see somebody I like and get a feeling about them and ask them if they want to have a drink or a slice of pizza not dinner. Not necessarily on the first date. Halfway through dinner you could be really sorry you asked them to dinner. Whereas, if it’s just a drink. If you like them, you could always ask them to dinner. But if not, you can just say: well, that was great. And then you go home. See what I mean? I wonder if it still works this way.It doesn’t . they ask you. I’m starting to notice that.I f you get a new wife, I guess you’ll have sex with her, huh? I certainly hope so.Will she scratch up your back? In movies, women are always scratching up the man’s back and screaming. How do you know this ? cable（电缆，电报）. Hand me that towel（毛巾）behind you. I need it too. Let me get you.B ride groom welcome back to ……clinical psychologist（临床心理学家）and the friend you never had beforehand（事先，预先）I think I’m going crazy.Are you happily married? I mean, why did you get married?Was it all trumpets（喇叭，小号）and fireworks? I got married because she said we had to break up or get married. So we got married. Did you believe she was the only person for you? That in some mystical,cosmic（神秘的宇宙）way it was fated? When you’re attracted to someone , it just means that your subconscious（潜意识；潜在意识的）is attracted to their subconscious subconsciously. What we think of as fate is two neuroses knowing they’re a perfect match. I don’t even know him. I am having all of these fantasies（幻想）about some man I have never even met who lives in Seattle. It rains nine months of the year I do not want to move to there but what I really don’t want to do is end up always wondering what might have happened and knowing I could have done（本来能做成的）something. What do you think? It’s just cold feet（害怕，胆怯）, isn’t it? Everybody panics before they get married. Didn’t you? I feel so much better just having blown（风吹）this off.S he’s a weight lifter（举重员）. It’s not like her neck is bigger than her head. I’m not askingyou to set me up. I don’t need your help with that. I just want to know what it’s like out there. That’s what I’m trying to tell you, what women are looking for pecs（胸大肌）and a cute butt. He has the cutest butt? Where did I hear that recently? Everywhere. You can’t even turn on the news nowadays without hearing about how some babe thought some guy’s butt was cute. Who the first woman to say this. But it caught on（流行）. Not bad. Is it cute though? Are we grading on a curve?W hen’s the last time you were out there? Things are a little different now. first you have befriends. You have to like each other. Then you neck（搂着脖子亲吻）. This could go on for years. Then you have tests. Then you get to do it with a condom（避孕套）. The good news is, you split the check. I don’t think I could let a woman pay for dinner. They’ll throw a parade in your honor. You will be man of the year in Seattle magazine. Tiramisu（意大利式甜点，提拉米苏）you’ll find out. Some woman will want me to do it to her. I’m not going to know what it is. This is going to be tough. This is going to be much tougher than I thought it was going to be. How about that decorator（装饰者）? She’s perk. I’m far away from that. I’m just assembling notes. How would I do that? What do you mean? Call her up. We’ll look at swatches. Color schemes（配色方案）. She’s not gonna see through that? You don’t do it like I do it. You do it on your own suave （柔和的，文雅的）way. It is not a swatch（样本，样品）kind of movie. Who knows what he did in real life?I f you play this backwards.(倒播，倒放) How do you know? Could you shut the door? Sure I am wondering if you would like to have a drink with me? Dinner would be even better.I hear that’s a good place.A re you in love with him? Now those were the days when people knew how to be in love.You are a basket case（废物，完全没有希望的人）. They knew it. Time, distance, nothing could separate them because they knew it was right. Read it to me. Dear sleepless and son, I have never written a letter like this in my life. That’s what everyone writes at the beginning of the letters to strangers. You think I don’t know that? I would give anything to marry him. He’s so unexpected.You think you can tell that he’s like by just looking at him, but you can’t.I should write something in this about magic. What if I never meet him? What if this man is my destiny and I never meet him? Your destiny can be your doom. The top of the Empire State Building. I can squeeze it in. if I hadn’t married him, I wouldn’t have had the house with the dead tree. on account of which, I got divorced. I hit a car and met Rick while buying a neck brace. You never told me you got a divorce because of a dead tree. you fell in love with the tree man?It’s now or never.（此刻不做永无机会）never is a frightening word. We’d be fools to let happiness pass us by. Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories. We’ve already missed the spring. Men never get this movie.I t’s sinking. There was water coming in all the windows. Your mother used to sing to youwhen you had bad dreams. What do you think happens to someone after they die? Do you believe in heaven? I never did. Or the whole idea of an after life, but now I don’t know. She could peel an apple in one long curly strip.S ee you tomorrow.I am doing an article on call-in（电话交谈节目）radio shows. I am doing a piece on how people handle bereavement（丧友，丧亲）and I understand you had a caller the other night（前两天的夜里，不久前的一个晚上）.Next partClarise I’m gonna be back either by midnight. If disaster strikes. here’s one for both of us.I left the restaurant’s phone number. If there’s a problem, the pediatrician’s (pediatrist)(儿科医生)number is right above the phone. Here’s a bottle of ipecac（吐根，催吐剂）if anybody drinks poison.by the juice glasses. How do I look? Do I look okay? Do I look all right?I look stupid. I look like I’m tryin’(设法) too hard. I was gonna get a haircut, but then I’d look like I got one. This is a good letter. The heels on these shoes are grotesque（v:奇形怪状的，可笑的；n:奇异风格）. Look like I’m tryin’to be tall. Blah(俚语：废话) I’ve been an excellent third baseman for as long as I remember（只要我记得）and while we’re on the subject. He was the best third baseman（三垒手）ever. It’s important you agree with me, because I’m from Baltimore. Everyone thinks he’s the greatest. It’s a sign. I’ll show you a sign. Here’s a sign. It’s right there. There’s like 26 states between here and there（从此地到彼地）. I’m outta（=out of）here. Did you move your car?I’ll have white wine(白葡萄酒). You look good（你看上去真不错）. You look goodyourself. I thought you were gonna call me. You did? But I really wanted you to, and I thought you were never going to. There’a phone call for you. Dad, can we go to new york city for Valentine’s day? Have you fallen down? Are you bleeding? Has she been strangled（掐死，把掐死，勒死，抑制）? So this is the only reason for this phone call? If we book now, we can get an excursion fare（旅游票价）. He is travel agents（旅行社，旅行社代理人）.I’m not going to have this conversation now. we’ll talk about it at a later time.I can’t believe this conversation has lasted this long(这样久). You go to bed.E verything all right? Do you have kids? I will have an Absolut（绝对伏特加）straight up（直率的，真实的；（酒）不加冰块的）.P ut that down. There she is. Why is she bringing those groceries（杂货，食品，生活用品）? She’s cooking for us, so be prepared（所以要准备好）. The car’s down this way.S he’s on her sixth painter and we’re never gonna finish this job. Now she wants the fireplacere-bricked.I know her pretty well(相当好，几乎). I could give her a call. I’ve got it solved. I’m just gonna hit her with one of those fireplace bricks. That is so funny. Whenever she wants anything done, she does this song and dance（不着边际的废话，大肆宣扬）about I don’t know, I’m stupid, you tell me. You know better than i. but couldn’t we flip(翻转) the house. So everything on one side is now on the other, and the back becomes the front. Could the whole house open up on a hinge（铰链，关键）? That way I could just get in with the garage door opener（汽车库门开门器）. Bring that stuff. My firm has box seats（驾驶员座位，箱座）to the Mariners. Why don’t we all go sometime（改天，来日）? What about camping? I went camping once. We oughta（=ought to应该，应当）start camping more often. Time for bed.D on’t you wanna thank her for this delicious dinner? I never saw anybody cook potatoes that way.I’m glad you liked it. We don’t see a lot of potatoes around here. We’re rice men.T urn on your radio. You’ve got me listening to this garbage（垃圾，废物）. Who is it?She’s having trouble with him again. I’ll downstairs. i’ll call you back. Are you bleeding?H e’s kissing her right this minute. Tell the truth. Are you spying on（监视）your father?I have to make them stop. How am I gonna explain this to him? She came over and cooked dinner. She brought two bags of groceries, like she was staying for a year. It’s good that your father’s dating. It’s just hard on you. it’s something you think you want. Then when it happens, it scares you. Shouldn’t your father be the judge of whether someone is right or wrong for him. He’s not sane(健全的，神志正常的)enough to judge anything. Now he’s kissing her on the lips.She’s a “ho”（俚语：妓女）! my dad’s been captured by her. What am I going to do? Tomorrow morning when you’re having breakfast with your dad, tell him how you feel. It’s not good to keep your feelings inside you.In the broom closet(杂物室，清洁间). You scared me. Don’t ever do that again.I thought I saw a black widow. You scared me to death. It was right over there.The next time you think you see a black widow spider, I want you to say”excuse me, I believe a poisonous insect is in the house” and I will calmly come and take care of it. Scream again.S he was hysterical（歇斯底里）. That doesn’t make any sense. Thank god my life is in place. Y ou have to write to her. You think so?I thought I would look into doing a story on those radio shows. You’d probably have to go somewhere to really look into it. Definitely.C ouldn’t you do a phone interview? Not for the kind of piece I wanna do. I won’t be in Chicago that long.When you get back. I’ll be gone.T his is captain browning. We’re at our crusing altitude of approximately 35,000 feet. Theweather is clear to the west, and we expect to arrive in Seattle on schedule(按时). Don’t you hate flying? I just told the terrible one to the man I’m about to marry.Do you feel that any lie is a betrayal（n:背叛）?T hanks for bringing me out here. Can I bring something back for you? A souvenir? Doeshe like snow globes? You shake them up and then the snow floats down. I’d really like that.I read an article about this. All children are hideous(丑陋的，可怕的)at age eight. It’s quite normal. Maybe when I come back, the two of us oughta spend some time together on our own.I hardly know her myself. She is a mystery to me. She tosses her hair a lot. Why does she do this? I have no idea. Is it a switch? Does she need a haircut? Should she use abarrette to keep her hair out of her face? These are things I’m willing to get to the bottom of(弄清事实真相). And that is why I am dating her. That’s all I am doing. I’m not living with her. I’m not marrying her. Can you appreciate the difference? This is what single people do. They try other people on and see how they fit. But everybody’s an adjustment. Nobody’s perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect. Reincarnation.(再生) She says you knew her in another life. So your hearts are like puzzles（v:使迷惑；n:谜题，智力游戏）with missing pieces. And when you get together, the puzzle is complete. Godanm it. The reason I know this and you don’t is because I’m younger and purer.So I’m more in touch with cosmic forces. Who told you this stuff? I sincerely hope you’re not marrying herW ink(眨眼，使眼色) how did I get here? You told a lie and got on a plane. That’s notwhat I mean. I’m going back over there tomorrow and talk him. That’s the weirdest part about it.S o then what happened? So then I left,obviously. You were standing in the middle of thestreet? You know that dream when you’re on the street naked and everyone is looking? That was nothing compared to humiliation(丢脸，耻辱，蒙羞，谦卑). You were face-to–face. All I could say was hello. It’s a sign that I have watched this movie too many times. Since I listend to that stupid program on the radio.i’ve been a complete jerk. Detective that’s exactly she looks like. This is a picture of someone’s back. He was crazy about her. So I mailed your letter.You sound neat. Made for each other.(天造地设)) It’s like a little clue（线索，情节）. Big deal（大人物，了不起的事）verbal ability（言语能力）is a highly overrated（评价过高）thing on a guy and our pathetic（可怜的）need for it is what gets us into trouble. I will be running back to Walter’s arms, if he’ll still have me. She looked like somebody we would’ve been friends with.Y ou saw her in the airport? I was like I knew her. It was weird. Like a déjà vu(似曾相识)thing? It was a very French déjà vu-ish kind of thing. Oui.（是的）At least you’re out there seeing people again. That’s terrific. She laughs like a huena. Is it ture? Sort of（有几分）, a little bit（有点）. Tell them what you did. They wanna hear it. That’s so sweet（俚语：酷毙了）. He’s obsessed with a lady who wrote me . you serious? She wants to meet me at the top of the Empire state building it’s like that movie. An Affair to remember. Did you ever see it? Cur（杂狗，杂种）and he waited and waited.（他等啊等）She’s too proud to tell him.Crippled but he comes to see her anyway. I forgot why, but it’s so amazing when he comes to see her because he doesn’t even notice that she doesn’t get up to say hello. And he’s very bitter.（adj:苦的，痛苦的；尖刻的，充满仇恨的；n:苦啤酒）And you think that he’s just gonna walk out the door and never know why she’s just lying there. On the couch（在沙发上）with this blanket（毛毯）over her shriveled（枯萎的）legs. Are you all right? Suddenly he goes. “I already sold the painting”and he like goes to the bedroom. And he looks and he comes out and he looks at her and he kind of just they know and then they hug. That’s a chick’s （胆小的；小鸡，少妇）movie. I would say so. What kind of a person would write to someone they heard on the radio? I got hundreds of letters from women all over the country（遍及全国）. Desperate women. Just because。
