這場戲:水密艙進水船必沉
第 7 章 · 共 14 章 · 2'58"
撞上冰山後,安德魯斯在駕駛臺攤開圖紙:頭五個水密艙進水,船會一直沉下去,他一句 She's going to sink, Captain(她要沉了,船長)讓命運定局。有人還抱著 She's unsinkable(不沉之船)的信念,可答案是 It's a mathematical certainty(板上釘釘的必然)。想學怎麼冷靜陳述壞訊息,這幾句值得反覆聽。
❝ 獨白 · 24 句 「她浮不起來」:She can't float
can't float 浮不起來watertight compartments 水密艙(壁)a mathematical certainty 板上釘釘、必然發生stay afloat 保持不沉
救生艇「能容納的空間」太少:room in the boats
There must be no 絕對不能出現……be careful what you say 說話小心點room in the boats 能容納的空間
撞冰之後,安德魯斯被請到駕駛臺,攤開圖紙彙報:前尖艙、一二號貨艙、郵件艙和五六號鍋爐房都進了水,等於水線以下有一道三百英尺長的裂口,水泵也頂不住。他給出結論:She's going to sink, Captain.(她要沉了,船長)。有人不敢相信,說 She's unsinkable(不沉之船),安德魯斯回的是 She can't float(她浮不起來)——頭五個 watertight compartments(水密艙)只到 E 甲板,水一漫過隔板就會一間間往下灌,這是 It's a mathematical certainty(板上釘釘的必然)。船長接著問能撐多久、船上多少人、救生艇能坐多少:答案是約一個半小時、兩千二百人、只夠一千二百人。

“With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.”
傷成這樣,她不可能浮在水面上。
把物理事實說成最後判詞,沒有一個字多餘
With that amount of + 名詞, ...

“She's going to sink, Captain.”
她要沉了,船長。
設計者最平靜的一句話,宣告了不沉之船的死刑,越短越重。
She's going to sink, [name].
不得不向人說出最壞結論時用,語氣要穩;在還沒核實的場合別亂下這種斷言。
She's going down, Captain. / She will not stay afloat.

going to 連讀成 gonna,sink 加重,Captain 輕收。
It's going to sink, and we both know it. 這個專案要完了,我們心裡都清楚。
Here's the position. Water in the forepeak. Numbers one and two holds. The mail room and boiler rooms six and five. That means a gash 300 foot long... from there to there... below the waterline. - Do you agree? - Yes. Well? The pumps are keeping the water down in this boiler room... but the first five compartments are flooding. Well, what's the answer? She's going to sink, Captain. But she can't sink. - She's unsinkable. - She can't float. Look. She could float with any three of her first five watertight compartments flooded. She could even float with four of them gone. - But she can't float with all five full up. - Yes, but - These watertight bulkheads here only go as high as E Deck. The weight of water in the bow is going to pull her down by the head. So you're going to get the fifth watertight compartment overflowing into the sixth... the sixth into the seventh and so on as she gets lower. It's a mathematical certainty. With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.
情況是這樣。 前尖艙進水了。 一號和二號貨艙也進水了。 郵件艙,還有六號和五號鍋爐房。 那就是一道三百英尺長的裂口…… 從這兒……到這兒…… 都在水線以下。 - 你同意嗎?- 同意。 那結論是什麼? 水泵勉強把水壓在這個鍋爐房裡…… 可頭五個艙室都在進水。 那答案是什麼? 她要沉了,船長。 可她不可能沉啊。 - 她是不沉之船。- 可她浮不起來。 你看。 頭五個水密艙裡,隨便哪個灌滿三個,她都還能浮著。 哪怕淹掉四個,她也還能浮著。 - 可五個艙全灌滿,她就浮不起來了。- 對,可是——這些水密艙壁只砌到E甲板那麼高。 船頭積水的重量會把船一點點壓得低頭。 這樣第五個水密艙的水就會漫進第六個…… 第六個再漫進第七個,她越沉越低,就這麼依次下去。 這在數學上是板上釘釘的。 破口這麼大,她不可能浮得住。
下一章 · 08in the same boat同坐一條船這場戲:婦女兒童先上救生艇意思是「板上釘釘、必然發生」,用數學的確定性強調毫無僥倖。片裡安德魯斯說,水漫過隔板後船會一節節沉下去,是 It's a mathematical certainty。
can't float。片裡一方還認為船是 unsinkable(不沉之船),另一方直接回 She can't float,意思是她根本浮不起來。
watertight compartments。watertight 是「水密的」,compartment 是艙室;片中說水密艙壁只到 E 甲板,水一旦漫過就會往下灌。
give someone a hand。片裡有人睡不著,問要不要 give you a hand;日常想主動搭把手,也可以直接說 Give me a hand。
本意是鍋爐放掉多餘的蒸汽,引申為把情緒發洩出來。片裡說船停下還 blowing off steam,字面是放蒸汽,也有人說成「撒氣」。
