讓某人搭車
He gave me a ride in his car or boat thing, and you were in the back seat with me.Waking Life · 2001 — 第 13 / 13 章 · 2'37" · B2
夢裡醒來還在夢裡：false awakenings
有人問對方是不是也坐過那輛「船車」，接著說自己一次次醒來，卻只是醒進另一個夢。false awakenings（假醒）說的就是以為醒了其實還在夢裡的情況；creeped out（心裡發毛）和 be in for something（等著經歷糟的）也都能一起學到。想聊夢境、怪事和毛骨悚然的感覺，這幾句很夠用。
發生了什麼
一開始，有人問對方是不是也坐過那輛「船車」，還說自己下車後被車撞了，可接著只是醒來，後來才發現自己還在做夢。對方回說這叫 false awakenings（假醒），也就是以為醒了其實還在夢裡；說話的人說自己一次次醒來，卻只是醒進另一個夢，越想越 creeped out（心裡發毛）。後半段有人講起菲利普·K·迪克的軼事，先自嘲說，聽到這種開頭，接下來幾分鐘通常就要 be in for something（等著經歷糟的）了——多半很無聊；再講到書裡的人物和情節竟和現實一一對上，把故事裡的作家嚇壞了——freak someone out（把某人嚇壞）說的就是這個。想聊夢境、怪事和心裡發毛的感覺，這幾句都能直接用。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意對方從禮貌懷疑到接梗的語氣
- 注意 dream 反覆出現形成的壓迫感
- 聽 freaking out 的口語味
留意這幾個短語

本章短語
false awakenings
假醒：以為醒了其實還在夢裡waking up inside a dream
有人講完自己一次次醒來的經歷，隨後有人給這種情形起名 false awakenings（假醒），還說自己以前也常這樣，語氣像在聊老毛病。
False awakenings can make you think you're late for work when you're still in bed.假醒會讓你以為自己上班要遲到了，其實還在床上。

本章全部批註
42 句台詞裡標了 26 處
懂行；知道你在說什麼
有人堅稱兩人同坐過那輛船車，對方接不上，用 know what you're talking about 這句聽著客氣的話把離奇敘述頂回去。
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.疑問詞賓語從句：what you're talking about 是 know 的賓語從句；what 在從句裡作 about 的賓語。
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.you're 只留很輕的一團，先抓後面的 talking about
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.讓某人下車
No, see, you guys let me off at this really specific spot...結果落得做某事
I get out and ended up getting hit by a car.false awakenings 快說時 s 滑進後面母音，兩個詞幾乎連成一串
Those are called "false awakenings." I used to have those all the time.擺脫某事
I can't get out of it. It's been going on forever.沒完沒了地持續
I can't get out of it. It's been going on forever.心裡發毛——熟人聊怪事時用，正式報告別用
I'm starting to get creeped out too, like I'm talking to dead people.等著經歷（多指糟的）
有人要開始講一個夢，先自嘲說聽到這種開頭，接下來幾分鐘通常很無聊——be in for something 說的就是這種等著熬的處境；還補一句：你這次也許真會碰上。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.賓語從句套狀語：I know that... 後面整個是賓語從句，其中 when... 是時間狀語；先抓 you’re in for 這個主句，再補條件。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.某事的序曲/前奏
It was the preamble to the dream.憑某作品獲獎
- You know that one? - Yeah, yeah. He won an award for that one.從某人那裡自然湧出
有人提到那本書寫得飛快，用 flow out of someone 形容故事像從作家身上順暢湧出，甚至像在通靈，語氣裡帶著半信半疑。
It just, like, flowed right out of him.與…同名/相同
who had the same name as the woman character in the book.與某人偷情
and she was having an affair with this guy, the chief of police.簡直直接出自某處 這裡指她的經歷與小說情節一模一樣，不是從書裡掉出來。
So she's telling him all this stuff from her life, and everything she's saying is right out of his book.him 常只剩很輕的 im，重音落在 freaking 和 out
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?把他嚇壞了——口語，朋友間常用，正式場合別用
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?形跡可疑的——描述陌生人很自然，正式寫作換 suspicious
and he saw this kind of, um, dangerous, shady-looking guy standing by his car.而不是做某事
But instead of avoiding him, which he said he usually would have done, he walked right up to him and said, "Can I help you?"非限制性定語從句：which 指前面的 avoiding him；he said 是插入，would have done 表示“原本通常會做”。拆開才不暈。
But instead of avoiding him, which he said he usually would have done, he walked right up to him and said, "Can I help you?"用完某物
And the guy said, "Yeah. I ran out of gas."掏出某物
He pulls out his wallet and he hands him some money, which he says he never would have done.把某物遞給某人
He pulls out his wallet and he hands him some money, which he says he never would have done.看懂「夢裡醒來還在夢裡」
發音重點
- what you're — you're 只留很輕的一團，先抓後面的 talking about
- false awakenings — false awakenings 快說時 s 滑進後面母音，兩個詞幾乎連成一串
- freaking him out — him 常只剩很輕的 im，重音落在 freaking 和 out
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.我不是說你不知道自己在說什麼，可我真不知道你在說什麼。 先給對方留面子，再用重複句把荒誕感輕輕推回去，冷幽默式反駁。
Those are called "false awakenings." I used to have those all the time.那種情況叫“假醒”。我以前經常這樣。 用術語命名怪體驗，再補一句“我以前常這樣”，把恐怖拉回日常。
I keep waking up, but I'm just waking up into another dream.我一次次醒來，可只是醒進另一個夢裡。 keep 與 just 對照，把迴圈的絕望壓進一句平常話。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.我知道，有人這麼開口時，接下來幾分鐘通常很無聊——你這次可能也是。 先自嘲預告冷場，再補一句“你這次也許真會碰上”，把聽眾也拉進玩笑。
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?所以這把他嚇壞了，可他又能怎麼辦呢？ freaking him out 很口語，what can he do 一轉，把怪事變成無奈。
關於這一章的問題
false awakenings 是什麼意思？
指以為已經醒了、其實還在夢裡。臺詞裡有人先說自己醒來，後來發現還在做夢，對方就把這種情形叫作 false awakenings，還說自己以前常這樣。
「心裡發毛」英語怎麼說？
可以用 creeped out。臺詞裡有人說自己開始 get creeped out，像在跟死人說話，就是越想越瘮得慌、毛骨悚然。
be in for something 是「等著經歷」什麼？
多指等著經歷不太好的事。臺詞裡說，有人一開口講夢，接下來幾分鐘通常很無聊，所以說 you’re in for a very boring next few minutes，就是等著熬過無聊的幾分鐘。
freak someone out 和 creeped out 一樣嗎？
不完全一樣。freak someone out 是把某人嚇壞、弄慌，賓語是人；creeped out 是說自己心裡發毛。臺詞裡前者說那件事把他嚇壞了，後者說自己開始覺得瘮得慌。
「形跡可疑的」英語怎麼說？
說 shady-looking。臺詞裡形容站在車旁的人 dangerous, shady-looking，就是看著危險、鬼鬼祟祟。
