映画『ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・サン』で 英語を聴く。
BS12 で『ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・サン』(“Tears of the Sun”,2003)を久しぶりに観ました。
米海軍特殊部隊シールズのウォーターズ大尉(ブルース・ウィリス)率いる隊が、内戦状態のナイジェリアに女医リーナ・ケンドリックスの救助へ向かい,村の難民を無視して逃げ出すことは出来ないと言う彼女に押し切られ,徒歩で国境に向かう途中,反乱軍に追われます。
空母上の上官 ロード大佐との 衛星電話の交信シーンの英語を聴いてみました。

Yes, sir, captain, this is Waters.

lntel reports military elements in your sector...
...conducting search and destroy of a U.S. military unit...

...moving with Arthur Azuka, son of the late president.
What can you tell me?

Yes, sir, we just discovered that ourselves.
He and his bodyguard hid themselves within Dr. Kendricks' refugee party.

That's a major problem, lieutenant.
He involves your mission in the internal politics of a foreign nation...

...affecting U.S. diplomacy and seriously increases the mission's risk.
He's considered a criminal by the new regime.

He's a major liability.
-What exactly does that mean, sir? –
His party is excess cargo.
You mean he's not human, sir?
Captain, this man is the lbo tribal leader.
Do you know what that means?
Cut the shit. Who do you think l am?
Sir, we both know what'll happen to him if l leave him out here.
There won't be a trial or a jury.
Outside the courthouse, they'll put two in his head.
l'm just asking for a little help here.
Put yourself in my shoes, Bill.
l've been in your shoes, lieutenant.
Send in an air evac immediately and get all of us out of here, sir.
Negative on air support at this time. Airspace is too hot.
Your judgment has risked the lives of your men and the mission's success.
l advise you, complete the evacuation as planned!
Do you read me?!
Yes, sir, l read you. Loud and clear.
But l cannot, in good conscience, do that without taking these people to safety.
That's not your mission!
When have l not completed a mission?
My team will complete this mission.
l give you my word on that.
l don't like this.
Get your ass back here alive soon as possible.
Maintain contact with OP center.
l'll direct air support as soon as l can.
I promise you.
Yes, sir.
Eagle One, out.
