【选段台词】

Eric Sacks: It won’t be easy to capture them, but if we can, we can finally carry out the plan that we had all those years ago.

Master Shredder: My Foot Clan will have unlimited power. And you will have your money.

Eric Sacks: The city will be ours, Master Shredder.

Master Shredder: Find them.

Eric Sacks: O’Neil’s daughter was the one who found them and she will be the one who will take us right to them.

Master Splinter: Listen closely, April. I don’t remember a time before living in that laboratory. That fateful night started like any other. Sacks gave us our injections. Your father made sure our vital signs were strong. And you, as always, provided us with a special treat. After the brothers went to sleep, I heard loud voices. There was the smell of smoke. Alarms sounded. Your father had discovered the truth behind the man he was working for. He set fire to the lab. His last breath was taken trying to destroy Shredder’s plan. I was terrified. But then, you appeared. And ushered us to safety. I never had a voice then, but I thank you now, April.

【重点词汇】

1. carry out

Eric和Shredder在谈论他们的计划，他们想要抓住当年作为实验对象的四只乌龟。Eric说道：“想抓住他们并不容易，但是如果我们可以，那就能最终执行我们多年的计划了。” carry out 的意思是“执行，完成”，是固定搭配。

2. make sure

Splinter是四个神龟的老师，待她们如亲身父亲般。他在和April讲述当年他与四个神龟逃出恶魔之手的经历。April的父亲是一名医生，当Shredder为Splinter和四个神龟注射完药剂之后，他确保他们五个的生命体征正常。make sure是固定搭配，意思是“确保，确信”。后面接宾语从句，在这里，省略了that。

3. provide with

Splinter接着说：“April，你和平常一样，会拿一些特别的东西喂我们。” provide…with…意思是“把……提供给……”为固定搭配，provide sb with sth与provide sth for sb是同样的意思，但要注意人与物的位置。

4. take breath

当April 的父亲发现了Shredder的邪恶计划后，他放了一把火想要烧掉实验室，并用自己的最后一点力气摧毁Shredder的计划。take breath的本来意思是“喘气，歇口气”，在这里，表示用尽最后一丝力气。
