号称…却… 的对撞句

都说不沉,结果浮不起来 / 口号喊得响,账算不平

这场戏:水密舱进水船必沉
第 7 章 · 共 14 章 · 2'58"
撞上冰山后,安德鲁斯在驾驶台摊开图纸:头五个水密舱进水,船会一直沉下去,他一句 She's going to sink, Captain(她要沉了,船长)让命运定局。有人还抱着 She's unsinkable(不沉之船)的信念,可答案是 It's a mathematical certainty(板上钉钉的必然)。想学怎么冷静陈述坏消息,这几句值得反复听。
❝ 独白 · 24 句 「她浮不起来」:She can't float
can't float 浮不起来watertight compartments 水密舱(壁)a mathematical certainty 板上钉钉、必然发生stay afloat 保持不沉
救生艇「能容纳的空间」太少:room in the boats
There must be no 绝对不能出现……be careful what you say 说话小心点room in the boats 能容纳的空间
撞冰之后,安德鲁斯被请到驾驶台,摊开图纸汇报:前尖舱、一二号货舱、邮件舱和五六号锅炉房都进了水,等于水线以下有一道三百英尺长的裂口,水泵也顶不住。他给出结论:She's going to sink, Captain.(她要沉了,船长)。有人不敢相信,说 She's unsinkable(不沉之船),安德鲁斯回的是 She can't float(她浮不起来)——头五个 watertight compartments(水密舱)只到 E 甲板,水一漫过隔板就会一间间往下灌,这是 It's a mathematical certainty(板上钉钉的必然)。船长接着问能撑多久、船上多少人、救生艇能坐多少:答案是约一个半小时、两千二百人、只够一千二百人。

It's going to sink, and we both know it. 这个项目要完了,我们心里都清楚。
Here's the position. Water in the forepeak. Numbers one and two holds. The mail room and boiler rooms six and five. That means a gash 300 foot long... from there to there... below the waterline. - Do you agree? - Yes. Well? The pumps are keeping the water down in this boiler room... but the first five compartments are flooding. Well, what's the answer? She's going to sink, Captain. But she can't sink. - She's unsinkable. - She can't float. Look. She could float with any three of her first five watertight compartments flooded. She could even float with four of them gone. - But she can't float with all five full up. - Yes, but - These watertight bulkheads here only go as high as E Deck. The weight of water in the bow is going to pull her down by the head. So you're going to get the fifth watertight compartment overflowing into the sixth... the sixth into the seventh and so on as she gets lower. It's a mathematical certainty. With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.
情况是这样。 前尖舱进水了。 一号和二号货舱也进水了。 邮件舱,还有六号和五号锅炉房。 那就是一道三百英尺长的裂口…… 从这儿……到这儿…… 都在水线以下。 - 你同意吗?- 同意。 那结论是什么? 水泵勉强把水压在这个锅炉房里…… 可头五个舱室都在进水。 那答案是什么? 她要沉了,船长。 可她不可能沉啊。 - 她是不沉之船。- 可她浮不起来。 你看。 头五个水密舱里,随便哪个灌满三个,她都还能浮着。 哪怕淹掉四个,她也还能浮着。 - 可五个舱全灌满,她就浮不起来了。- 对,可是——这些水密舱壁只砌到E甲板那么高。 船头积水的重量会把船一点点压得低头。 这样第五个水密舱的水就会漫进第六个…… 第六个再漫进第七个,她越沉越低,就这么依次下去。 这在数学上是板上钉钉的。 破口这么大,她不可能浮得住。
下一章 · 08in the same boat同坐一条船这场戏:妇女儿童先上救生艇意思是「板上钉钉、必然发生」,用数学的确定性强调毫无侥幸。片里安德鲁斯说,水漫过隔板后船会一节节沉下去,是 It's a mathematical certainty。
can't float。片里一方还认为船是 unsinkable(不沉之船),另一方直接回 She can't float,意思是她根本浮不起来。
watertight compartments。watertight 是「水密的」,compartment 是舱室;片中说水密舱壁只到 E 甲板,水一旦漫过就会往下灌。
give someone a hand。片里有人睡不着,问要不要 give you a hand;日常想主动搭把手,也可以直接说 Give me a hand。
本意是锅炉放掉多余的蒸汽,引申为把情绪发泄出来。片里说船停下还 blowing off steam,字面是放蒸汽,也有人说成「撒气」。
