War Horse English

Watching War Horse on TV. @2:27:48:


An English soldier tells a German: "You speak good English."
That German soldier replies: "I speak English well."

這裡,德國人的英文文法還比英國人的好,因爲文法上,用 well 來形容 speak 才正確。
嚴格說來,是「說」得好,不是「英文」好。形容「說」,要用副詞 well,而不是形容名詞用的形容詞 good.
這個英國人的角色是個鄉巴佬,而英語會流利的德國人八成是個讀書人。
