Ahoy there, matey! You in for the long haul?Waking Life · 2001 — 第 1 / 13 章 · 2'14" · B2
一個愛用航海比喻的人衝路邊喊 Ahoy there, matey(喂,夥計),把人招呼上車。一路上他說這是 window to the world(看世界的視窗),勸人 go with the flow(順其自然)。想學怎麼用航海比喻把人生道理說得輕巧,這幾句夠用。
路邊有人在等車,一個愛用航海比喻的人先喊一句 Ahoy there, matey(喂,夥計),把人招呼上車。一路上他講自己這條船,說 She's what we call see-worthy(值得一看,諧音適航),又說這是 window to the world(看世界的視窗),每一分鐘都是不一樣的戲。他並不說自己看懂了世界,只說 on an even keel(保持平穩)、go with the flow(順其自然)。最後他勸人別管 drawing within the lines(在框內畫)這種規矩,乾脆 color outside the lines(塗到線外),還問乘客想在哪兒下車。想學怎麼用船和航海的比喻講人生態度,這一路都是現成句子。
這場戲看什麼
留意這幾個短語
see-worthyhitch in your get-alongI'll tell you whaton an even keel
本章短語
保持平穩,不偏不晃steady and balanced
說話人把一路的海上比喻收成一句總結,用 on an even keel 說別讓事情晃得太厲害,邊說邊找詞,像怕對方沒聽懂。
After the argument, we tried to get back on an even keel.吵完架後,我們試著讓關係恢復平穩。
值得一看(諧音適航)
讓你不順的小毛病
我跟你說;聽我說
看世界的視窗
把我框住;限制我

Ahoy there, matey! You in for the long haul?夥計(航海腔)——老水手式玩笑稱呼,正式場合別用
Ahoy there, matey! You in for the long haul?讓你不順的小毛病
有人用一連串航海俏皮話招呼路邊等車的人,先問對方是不是要長途,再丟擲 hitch in your get-along,問要不要順路捎一程,語氣熱絡得像在拉客。
You need a little hitch in your get-along, a little lift on down the line?錯過機會 字面是沒趕上船,這裡是別錯過這趟車或眼前機會。
if you want to-- All right. Don't miss the boat.Not a 的 t 輕帶,滑進 a,problem 重音在前
- Hey, thanks. - Not a problem.起錨;出發——航海行話,可玩笑式宣佈出發
Anchors aweigh!快問時 what do you 擠成一串,do 幾乎只剩 d
So what do you think of my little vessel?個性的延伸
I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality.看世界的視窗
說話人讓乘客看眼前的東西,把不斷變化的景象說成 window to the world,每一分鐘都是不一樣的戲,語氣像在介紹自家寶貝。
Voila. And this? This is like my little window to the world, and every minute, it's a different show.順勢滑行;隨大流 字面是滑行,這裡指不硬頂、順著過。
But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along.sort of 的 of 弱到只剩輕擦音,glide 重讀
But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along.保持平穩,不偏不晃
說話人把一路的海上比喻收成一句總結,用 on an even keel 說別讓事情晃得太厲害,邊說邊找詞,像怕對方沒聽懂。
You want to keep things on an even keel I guess is what I'm saying.插入語:I guess 插進來緩衝,is what I'm saying 把前面的話收成一句總結。
You want to keep things on an even keel I guess is what I'm saying.順其自然
You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river.with the 弱成一團,flow 拖長,別把 the 讀滿
You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river.處在不斷出發的狀態
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.分詞從句:while 後省掉主語,用 arriving 表示「同時一直在抵達」,和 remain 並行。
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.省去介紹環節
Saves on introductions and good-byes.需要解釋
The ride does not require an explanation.降生到世上 字面是來到這顆星球,這裡是說人出生。
It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box.名詞性從句:介詞 in 後接 what 從句,意思是「全看你拿蠟筆做什麼」,不是疑問句。
But it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors that you're given.在框內畫;守規矩 字面是塗色不出線,這裡指照規矩來。
Don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines.動名詞並列:about 後接兩個動名詞短語並列,否定的是整組行為,不是單個動作。
Don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines.把我框住;限制我
說話人越說越興奮,從「別管畫線上內線外」一路推到 Don't box me in,語氣像宣言,一句比一句衝,完全不留商量餘地。
Don't box me in. We're in motion to the ocean.沒有被陸地圍住 這裡借地理說心態沒被封死。
We are not landlocked, I'll tell ya that.想下車;想退出 這裡問的是你想在哪兒下車,不是抽象地「想退出」某件事。
So where do you want out?讓某人下車 不是把人丟下,是讓他在街角下車。
go two more blocks, drop this guy off on the next corner.餘生
somewhere, and it's gonna determine the course of the rest of your life.決定…的走向
somewhere, and it's gonna determine the course of the rest of your life.將會(口語)——口語縮寫,寫作和正式發言避免
somewhere, and it's gonna determine the course of the rest of your life.嘟嘟(喇叭聲)——玩笑按喇叭,正式文書不用
Toot toot!You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river.你想順其自然。大海不拒絕任何一條河。 兩個航海意象疊在一起,把隨遇而安說得有氣度,也像一句能記住的箴言。
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.要義是始終處在不斷出發的狀態,同時又一直在抵達。 把「出發」和「抵達」硬擰在一起,句子短卻有悖論感。
Don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines.別管是畫線上內,還是畫到線外。 用最普通的塗色規則講自由,否定句開頭,語氣像放手。
Don't box me in. We're in motion to the ocean.別把我框住。我們正一路朝大海去。 前半句是拒絕標籤,後半句用航海畫面把拒絕變成出發。
The ride does not require an explanation.這趟車不需要解釋。 把「搭車」說成一種不必交代的態度,短句有冷幽默。
字面是船身不偏不晃,這裡指「保持平穩」,把日子過得穩穩當當。臺詞裡有一句 You want to keep things on an even keel,下一句就是 go with the flow(順其自然)。
說 go with the flow。緊接著還有一句 The sea refuses no river(大海不拒河流),意思是別硬擰著來。勸朋友別糾結時這兩句都能用。
說 Don't box me in,後面接一句 We're in motion to the ocean(我們正往大海開)。box 當動詞就是把人關進框裡,被工作、被關係限制住都能用。
是把 seaworthy(適航的)改拼成 see-worthy,臺詞還特意補了一句 S-E-E. See with your eyes(用眼睛看),意思就成了「值得一看」。這是文字遊戲,聽懂諧音才接得住。
是「讓某人下車」:go two more blocks, drop this guy off on the next corner,再走兩個街區把這位放下。打車、開車捎人都用得上。
