“Babes, we know more about the planet Jupiter than we do the inside of our own mouths.”
親愛的,我們對木星的瞭解,比對自個嘴巴里面還多。
用一句誇張的對比把人拉回自身:我們研究遙遠星球很起勁,卻對自己張嘴就來的器官一無所知。放在講自我認知的場合,既好笑又扎人。
We know more about ... than we do ...
調侃人類捨近求遠、對外界比對自己更瞭解時用。
We study the stars but not our own habits. / We know the moon better than we know ourselves.
中性
more about 重讀,than we do 快速帶過,句尾 mouths 放慢。
We know more about outer space than about our own bodies. 我們對太空的瞭解,比對自身還多。
We've mapped the planets but not our own mouths. 我們測繪了行星,卻沒弄懂自己的嘴。
