Before Sunrise란 영화의 대사입니다. 좋아해서 여러번 본 영화인데, 갑자기 a 와 the에 대해서 정립이 되더군요. 물론 실제로 제가 사용하려고 하면 여전히 힘들긴 합니다만... a cow, the cow를 눈여겨 보세요



[pulls paper out of pocket]

Skinny: This is a play we're both in, and we would like to invite you.

Selene: You're actors?

Skinny: No, not professional actors, uh, part-time actors, for fun.

Fatman: It's a play about a cow, and an Indian searching for it. There are also

in it politicians, Mexicans...

Skinny: Russians, Communists,

Fatman: Russians.

Jesse: So, you have a real cow on stage.

Skinny: No, not a real cow. Its an actor in a cow costume.

Fatman: [Indicating Skinny] And he's the cow.

Skinny: Yes, I am the cow. And the cow is a bit weird.

Fatman: The cow has a disease.

Skinny: She's acting a bit strange, like a dog. If someone throws a stick, she

fetches it, and brings it back. And she can smoke, with her hooves, and

everything.

Selene: Great.

Fatman: And as you see, there is the address. Its in the Second district.

Skinny: Near the Prata. You know the Prata?

Selene: Oh, the big Ferris Wheel?

Skinny: By the wheel, yes.

Selene: Oh, we should go.

Skinny: Yes, the wheel, everybody knows the wheel.

Fatman: Perhaps you can go to the Prata before the play. It starts at 21:30.

Jesse: 21:30?

Skinny: That's 9:30.

Selene: 9:30.

Jesse: 9:30? oh, right, right. Okay, great, well, what's the name of this play?

Skinny: Uh...

Fatman: It translates as 'Bring me the horns ...

Skinny & Fatman: ... of Wilmington's cow'

Skinny: Ja I'm Wilmington's cow.

Jesse: Alright

Selene: Great.

Jesse: We'll try to be there.

Skinny: You'll be there?

Jesse: We'll try.

Skinny: I'm the cow.

Jesse: You're the cow.

Skinny: Goodbye.
