The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe house has fallen. Mirabel is at the river; Abuela follows her to where Pedro died and the miracle was given. Abuela says she is sorry. She wanted to be a different woman, then grew so afraid of losing the gift that she forgot who it was for. A song about two caterpillars plays. Mirabel sees the grief under the rules: Abuela suffered alone so it would never happen again. Nothing is broken that they cannot fix together. Abuela asked Pedro for help. He sent her Mirabel.

I thought I would be a different + 身份。
承认当年对自己的幻想落空、人没变成预想的那样时。
I thought I'd be someone else. / I expected to become a different person.
literary
thought 稍停,different woman 下沉收住。
“that I lost sight of who our miracle was for.”
以至于忘了这神迹到底是给谁的。
lost sight of 把怕失去说成眼瞎,who 从句把神迹拉回人。
lose sight of who/what + 从句。
认错时讲:盯着目标太紧,反把真正服务的人忘了。
I forgot who it was for. / I lost track of the point.
neutral

“He sent me you.”

四个词把亡夫、神迹、孙女叠成一句,求助的答案是人。
He/She sent me + 人。

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI was given a miracle. A second chance. And I was so afraid to lose it that I lost sight of who our miracle was for. And I am so sorry. You never hurt our family, Mirabel. We are broken... because of me.
我得到了一个神迹。 第二次机会。 而我怕到不敢失去它 以至于忘了这神迹到底是给谁的。 真的对不起。 你从来没有伤害过这个家,米拉贝尔。 我们碎了…… 是因为我。
I can finally see. You lost your home. Lost everything. You suffered so much, all alone, so it would never happen again. We were saved because of you. We were given a miracle, because of you. We are a family, because of you. And nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix... together.
我终于看清了。 你失去了家。 失去了一切。 你承受了那么多, 孤零零一个人, 就为了让这一切再也不发生。 我们能活下来,是因为你。 我们得到神迹,是因为你。 我们能成为一家,是因为你。 没有什么会碎到 我们一起修不好的。
