這場戲：化療失效後談愛與平靜
第 21 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'05"
九個月化療下來，安迪說自己 wiped out（累垮了）、糟透了，還成了對化療沒反應的那一小撮人。可他沒有崩潰，而是想把恐懼 convert into（轉化成）愛和慈悲：恐懼向外、耗人，愛卻往內、能療愈。想學怎麼談心態和情緒，這些說法很值得記。

活在當下裡，安迪說九個月化療下來，自己 wiped out（累垮了）、整個人被耗幹，已經屬於對化療沒反應的那一小撮人，這讓人害怕。他只想找到一些 serenity（內心的安寧）。他慢慢想明白：恐懼和憤怒都是向外的、耗人的，而它們的反面是愛、慈悲和寬恕；如果你能把情緒 convert into（轉化成）這一面，它就變成向內的、能療愈的東西。他還說，你不該等到生病才這樣想。想學怎麼聊情緒、怎麼表達心態的轉變，這些句子很有分量。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“I'm now in the minority group where I'm not responding to chemo.”
我現在屬於那一小撮人，化療對我已經沒反應了。
把宣判說得像一句統計結果，越平靜越讓人發涼。
be in the minority where ...
要說明自己屬於少數情況、而且不是好訊息時用；對剛確診的人別這麼說。
I'm one of the few who don't respond to it. ／ Only a small group fails this treatment, and I'm in it.
中性
minority 重讀，where 從句降調，句尾放平收。
We're in the minority group whose bid was rejected. 我們屬於投標被拒的少數那一撥。
“And the opposite of that is love, compassion, and forgiveness.”
而它的反面，是愛、慈悲和寬恕。
用一個反把整段情緒翻過來，三個詞收得又慢又穩。
the opposite of A is B
想把話題從消極翻到積極、對親近的人說時用；正式演講裡偏口語。
What counters all that is love and forgiveness. ／ Its opposite is compassion and forgiveness.
中性
the opposite of 連讀，love, compassion 逐個慢念。
The opposite of anger is not more anger. 憤怒的反面不是更大的憤怒。
“You know you shouldn't wait to get cancer before you start to think that way.”
人不必等到得了癌症，才開始那樣想。
拿自己的病當教材，勸人別等出事才醒悟，是過來人的話。
shouldn't wait to do something before ...
勸人趁早行動時用；對剛遭變故的人說會顯得說教。
Don't wait for a wake-up call to start living. ／ You shouldn't need a crisis to think this way.
口語
shouldn't 輕讀，before 後稍停，句尾降調。
You shouldn't wait to get sick before you rest. 你不該等到病了才肯休息。
“Here I am, nine months later.”
九個月過去，我成了現在這樣。
一句簡單的定位，把漫長治療壓成時間差，落寞和堅持都在這個「還在這兒」裡。
Here I am, ... later.
回望一段漫長過程時用，語氣要淡；慶祝場合用它太沉，換更亮的說法。
Nine months on, here I stand. ／ And here I am after all this time.
中性
Here I am 稍頓，nine months 重讀，later 放慢收住。
Here I am, a year later, still on the same road. 一年過去，我還在同一條路上。
“Because I think that brings together the whole psychological, emotional, spiritual side of a person.”
因為我覺得那會把人心理、情緒和精神這幾面都攏到一起。
用三個並列的形容詞把「整全的人」講清楚，像在病房裡給身心一體下了一個溫柔的定義。
That brings together the whole ... side of a person.
談身心療愈、整體健康時用，偏書面；日常閒聊裡說會顯得太宏大。
It gathers the mental, emotional and spiritual parts of a person. ／ That is what makes a person whole.
literary
brings together 連讀重推，psychological, emotional, spiritual 三詞平列，side of a person 收住。
Good sleep brings together the physical and emotional side of a person. 好的睡眠能把人的身體和情緒兩面攏到一起。
I'm just trying to find some serenity, and some calm in it. I know that, you know, with fear and anger, which is probably the same thing, really, they're all outward. It's all depleting, you know. When you invest in it, it's all, it's kind of not helpful. And the opposite of that is love, compassion, and forgiveness. And if you can convert into that, that's an inward thing. That's a... that's a healing thing. And I guess it's part of my evolution to get through this.
我只想在這當中找到一點安寧，一點平靜。 我知道，恐懼和憤怒——其實它倆大概是一回事—— 它們全是向外衝的。 全都在往外耗，你知道吧。 你越往裡面投入，它就越……其實並沒什麼幫助。 而它的反面，是愛、慈悲和寬恕。 如果你能轉成那樣， 那就是往內走的。 那是一種……一種能療愈的東西。 我想，撐過這一關，也是我自己成長的一部分。
下一章 · 22battle through硬扛過去這場戲：看掃描片後做放療意思是「累垮了、被掏空」，體力精力完全耗盡。臺詞 I feel a bit wiped out 就是「我覺得有點被掏空了」，常形容生病或熬夜之後的疲憊。
意思是「內心的安寧、平靜」，指不受外界紛擾的一種心境。臺詞裡他想在這段艱難裡 find some serenity，就是找到一點平靜。
說 convert into，比如 convert fear into love 就是「把恐懼轉化成愛」。它也可以說 convert A into B，表示把 A 變成 B。
說 get through this。臺詞 And I guess it's part of my evolution to get through this 就是「我想，撐過這一關，也是我自己成長的一部分」。
說 shouldn't wait to，比如 You shouldn't wait to get cancer before you start to think that way，就是「人不必等到得了癌症，才開始那樣想」。
