Queen: you can come in now.

　　Joe: if I may say so, that did not go very well.

　　Queen: is this the way a princess should act?

　　Joe: my information tells me that boy was using her. The kiss was merely a device so that he could get his 15 minutes of fame. And her friends didn’t ‘t help, either. Anan, Falanna, Banana, Bandana, Montana.

　　Queen: I have no idea what you are talking about. Why didn’t she have enough common sense to deal with this?

　　Joe: she is only 15. but today she acted beyond her years. She showed great respect and gracefully accepted your criticism.

　　Queen: you are saying that as a queen I was too harsh on her? I was critical of the person who could become the next ruler of my country.

　　Joe: no I’m saying as a grandmother you might have been too harsh on your granddaughter.

　　Queen: so you think she can do it?

　　Joe: oh I have no doubts, Ma’am.

　　Queen: I thought so too.

　　对白讲解：

　　1. (if I may say so, that did not go very well.) if I may say so 字面意思是如果我可以这样说的话，大家可以理解成恕我直言。恕我直言，这样处理并不是太好。

　　A: if I may say so, your spoke too fast in class. Sometimes we can follow you.

　　B: oh, I’m sorry. I’ll slow down next time.

　　2. (The kiss was merely a device so that he could get his 15 minutes of fame.) 这句话的核心单词是device，这里不是装置，而是表示诡计策略。那么整句话的意思：这个吻仅仅是一个诡计，这样他就可以在电视上出个15分钟的风头。

　　3. (Why didn’t she have enough common sense to deal with this?) 这里common sense 意思就是常识，她怎么会没有起码的常识来处理这样的问题呢？

　　A: don’t you some common sense? You can’t exercise until at least 30 minutes after the meal.

　　B: I know now!

　　4. (But today she acted beyond her years.) beyond her years=beyond her age 超过她的年龄，她今天表现的非常成熟稳重，超过了她的年龄。

　　5. (I was critical of the person who could become the next ruler of my country.) be critical of sb/sth 字面意思就是对某事某人的态度比较严厉，比较挑剔，隐身的意思就是对某事某人不满意。我对我国下任统治者比较挑剔，对他非常不满。
