救救菜英文 English Vinglish @ 愛在黎明破曉時 Before Sunrise

其實我沒預料到這部電影這麼好看。（片名實在是......）

Shashi 是個傳統的家庭主婦，照顧家人無微不至，而且廚藝了得，閒暇時候還利用自己的好手藝做 Laddu 球賺外快，Shashi 根本就是媽媽界的模範，出得廳堂，入得廚房。只是，家人對於這樣的付出習以為常，還常常因為 Shashi 的英文不好而取笑她，女兒甚至因為 Shashi 要求老師說印地語來溝通感到相當丟臉，當場就給媽媽難看，Shashi 非常難過，她覺得這沒有什麼好丟臉的啊，可是女兒卻覺得會被其他人看笑話。遠嫁紐約的姊姊突然來了電話，央求 Shashi 到紐約幫忙她準備女兒的婚事，原本家人是要一起出發的，但是兒女要上課，丈夫還有事業上的事情，所以 Shashi 戰戰兢兢地從印度一個人搭飛機到紐約，雖然一路跌跌撞撞，好歹也是平安抵達了。

卻沒想到Shashi的英文讓她連點一杯咖啡也讓店員奚落，強烈的挫折感她非常傷心，偶然抬頭在公車身上發現英語補習班的廣告，標榜一個月就可以讓你的英文嚇嚇叫，Shashi在姪女的鼓勵下勇敢地去報名了。

Shashi 跟同班同學一起去看電影。

有個當廚師的同班同學很欣賞Shashi，兩個人之間有那麼點淡淡的情愫，不過卻是發乎情止乎禮，雖然有點可惜，但是友誼比較能長久啊。

沒想到原本預計一個月後抵達的其他家人卻提早一週抵達，如此一來Shashi就不能去上課了，但是老師同學們利用電話來替Shashi上課，也鼓勵Shashi做畢業的演說，老師說最後一堂課就是每個人都要上台說一段英文，如此就結業了。

姪女邀來Shashi的老師同學們一起參加婚禮，結業演說是在婚禮上哦。

Meera, Kevin. This marriage is a beautiful thing.
It is the most special friendship of two people who are equal.
Life is a long journey. Meera, sometimes you will feel you are less. Kevin, sometimes you will also feel you are less than Meera.
Try to help each other to feel equal. It will be nice.
Sometimes, married couple don't even know how the other is feeling. So, how they will help the other?
It means marriage is finished? No. That is the time you have to help yourself.
Nobody can help you better than you. If you do that, you will return back feeling equal. Your friendship will return back.
Your life will be beautiful.
Meera, Kevin, maybe you'll very busy, but have family -- son, daughter -- in this big world, or your small little world. It will make you feel so good.
Family can never be judgemental!
Family will never put you down, will never make you feel small.
Family is the only one who will never laugh at your weaknesses.
Family is the only place where you will always get love and respect.
That's all Meera and Kevin.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you.

一個月的英語課除了讓 Shashi 走出家庭主婦的小圈圈，也讓她更懂得愛自己，家人們也用全新的角度去看這位蛻變的家人，家的意義是什麼？在Shashi最後給新人的小小演說裡說明了一切。
