這場戲：烈日海灘回憶中斷
第 12 章 · 共 27 章 · 3'38"
有人被催著回想去年夏天。白沙灘曬得發亮，毒太陽底下，話說到一半就斷了。一句 The sun had burned up all the air（太陽把空氣燒光了），跟著 Outside it was like inside a furnace（外面熱得像火爐）。burn up（燒光）不只形容太陽，東西被火毀掉、熱得受不了，都能用。

有人說，事後整個人 hysterical（情緒失控），話也記不住，所以才來到這裡。對方催著回想去年夏天。海灘白得刺眼，一句 The sun had burned up all the air（太陽把空氣燒光），外面熱得像 furnace（火爐）。再往後，可怕的聲音從四面八方逼近，有人喊 Sebastian! Help!（塞巴斯蒂安，救命），記憶就斷了。緩過來以後，有人後悔那個吻，對方說那只是 a friendly kiss（一個友好的吻）。又有一句 Whatever's true, we'll find（不管真相是什麼，都會查清）。後來有人盼著 had my hair done（讓人做了頭髮），問能不能穿裙子，回答是 If you like（隨你喜歡）。情緒崩了說 hysterical（情緒失控），東西被火毀掉用 burn up（燒光），髮型交給別人做就說 had my hair done（讓人做了頭髮）。

“It was like the eye of God watching us.”
就像上帝的眼睛在盯著我們。
把毒太陽寫成一隻監視的眼睛，恐懼和宿命一下子壓了下來。
It was like ... watching us.
形容被注視、被審視的壓力時用；輕鬆說笑或正式彙報裡別亂套。
It was like the whole world was watching us. ／ It felt as if the sun were an eye fixed on us.
literary
like the eye of 連讀，God 和 watching 之間稍停。
It was like every eye in the room was watching me. 就像滿屋子的人都在盯著我看。
“The sun had burned up all the air.”
太陽把空氣都烤乾了。
用完成時把炎熱寫成已經發生的災難，簡單一句卻讓人喘不過氣。
The ... had burned up all the ...
描述一連串後果、強調事情早已發生時用；日常閒聊這樣說會顯得誇張。
The heat had dried up every drop of water. ／ By noon the sun had taken all the shade away.
literary
had burned up 連讀，all the 輕讀，句尾 air 放慢。
By noon the heat had burned up all the cool in the room. 到中午，屋裡的涼氣早被熱浪烤沒了。
“I want you to know that I can look attractive...”
我想讓你知道，我也可以很迷人……
一句帶點倔強的表白：她還想要被當成一個女人看，而不只是病人。
I want you to know that ...
鄭重地表白或澄清時用；日常隨口說會顯得太用力。
I want you to know that I can still surprise you. ／ I want you to know that I am not only this.
中性
I want you to 連讀成 I-wantcha，know that 輕帶，結尾放慢。
I want you to know that I can do more than people expect. 我想讓你知道，我能做的比大家想的多。
“Outside it was like inside a furnace.”
外面熱得就像待在一個火爐裡。
用一個火爐的比喻把酷熱寫成窒息，畫面立刻壓過來。
Outside it was like inside a ___.
形容天氣或環境極端難熬時用；正式描述天氣別提文學化，適合聊天和寫作。
It was like standing inside an oven out there. ／ The heat outside was like a furnace.
literary
Outside it 連讀，like inside 輕，a furnace 放慢、降調。
Outside it felt like being inside an oven. 外面熱得像待在一個烤箱裡。
They say a heart attack, but I don't remember. I really don't. You see, afterwards, I was hysterical, taut. Said things I don't remember. That's why I'm here. Because I say things people don't... ...and then I don't even remember.
他們說是心臟病，可我不記得了。真的不記得。 你知道，那之後我一直歇斯底里，整個人繃得緊緊的。 說了些我都不記得的話。 我就是為這個才來這兒的。 因為我會說些別人不…… ……然後連自己都不記得。
The beach was very white. Oh, how the sun burned. It was like the eye of God watching us. Burning, burning. There was no air that day. The sun had burned up all the air. Outside it was like inside a furnace. - Then they came. - Who came? From all parts of the beach. And that awful noise they made. Who is "they"? I still hear it! It's getting closer and closer! Sebastian! Help!
那片海灘白得刺眼。 哦，太陽曬得有多毒。 就像上帝的眼睛在盯著我們。 燒啊，燒啊。 那天一點風都沒有。 太陽把空氣都烤乾了。 外面就像待在一座火爐裡。 ——然後它們來了。——誰來了？ 從海灘的四面八方。 它們發出的那種可怕聲音。 “它們”是誰？ 我現在還聽得見！ 越來越近，越來越近！ 塞巴斯蒂安！救命！
下一章 · 13no strings attached不帶附加條件這場戲：看空地談百萬捐款burn up 是燒光，也有人說烤乾，意思是燒掉並且燒得一點不剩。臺詞裡太陽把空氣都燒光了。檔案、柴火被毀乾淨，也可以用這個短語。
說 had my hair done。意思是頭髮讓別人打理，不是自己剪的。理髮、做造型最常用。同樣的說法也能換成讓人修車、讓人改衣服。
hysterical 是歇斯底里、情緒失控。這裡形容事後整個人繃住，說過的話自己都記不住。它比普通的難過和緊張更重，常指哭喊到控制不住。
If you like 是隨你喜歡、你要是願意。這裡用來答應能不能穿裙子，語氣輕，像把選擇交回去，並不是熱心勸你。答應一件可做可不做的小事，用它就很自然。
說 Whatever's true。整句 Whatever's true, we'll find 是先把真相放在爭論前面：是什麼，我們就去查。安慰記不清的人，或答應把事情查清，都可以用。
不是。a friendly kiss 就是一個友好的吻，用來把那個吻說成客氣、沒有別的意思。下一句 Maybe it wasn't（也許不是），所以這句是在把事情往輕裡說，並不等於只是朋友。
