这场戏：念近况邮件聊活在当下
第 16 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'08"
安迪说 Read me your email（把你的邮件念给我听听），结果妻子把近况邮件里那些私事也念了出来。聊到心态，他说 I just feel so much calmer and more grounded（我就是觉得平静多了、也踏实多了），现在只认 Right here, right now（此时此地），学会享受今天。想学怎么讲「活在此刻」，这几句最到位。

安迪让妻子 Read me your email（把邮件念出来），她写的是发给朋友的近况：悉尼又是 spectacular, hot, clear day（又热又亮的大晴天），安迪状态不错，正 in the midst of（处在）新一轮化疗。念完两人还拿邮件里的私人玩笑互相打趣。接着聊到变化：安迪说 I just feel so much calmer and more grounded（平静多了、也踏实多了），现在只在乎 This is just what it is（事情就是这样）和 Right here, right now（此时此地）。瓦什蒂则说，虽然总想 speed track this treatment（催着治疗快点走完），最矛盾的却是去 fight against（对抗）它，说到底她只要 be there for Andy（守在安迪身边）。想学怎么讲活在当下、怎么讲陪伴，这段最动人。

“I just feel so much calmer and more grounded.”
我就是觉得平静多了，也踏实多了。
话说得极轻，却把一段治疗里的心态转折说尽了。
I just feel so much + 形容词比较级
跟伴侣或朋友讲自己状态变好时用；正式汇报里别这么随意。
I feel a lot steadier these days. ／ I'm calmer and more settled than I was.
口语
so much 重读，calmer 与 and 轻连，句尾降调。
I just feel so much lighter after finally sleeping properly. 睡了个好觉之后，我就是觉得轻松多了。
“This is just what it is.”
事情就是这样。
五个词就把「不再和现实较劲」的认命与释然说透了。
This is just what it is.
面对无法改变的处境时自我安慰用；对正在崩溃的人说会显得冷。
It is what it is. ／ That's just the way it is.
口语
just 轻读带过，what it is 连读，句尾放平。
The plan fell through, but this is just what it is. 计划黄了，可事情就是这样。
“But the most conflicting thing is to fight against it.”
可最矛盾的地方就在于，你偏要跟它对抗。
一句点出病人最深的拉扯：既想快点好，又不能和病情硬碰。
The most conflicting thing is to ...
讲两难、讲越想使劲越拧巴时用；口语里更常说 the hardest part。
The hardest part is fighting it. ／ What makes it hardest is that you fight it.
中性
most 重读，conflicting 咬清，is to 连读成一串。
The most conflicting thing is to stay calm when everything is urgent. 最矛盾的地方在于，事事都急，你却得保持冷静。
“So, in truth, we're both smiling.”
所以，说实话，我们俩都在笑。
一句轻描淡写的实情，把病房里的苦况翻成两个人的笑，越简单越暖。
So, in truth, we're both ...
向朋友报平安时用，语气要真；正式场合用它收尾会显得轻。
Honestly, we are both laughing. ／ Truth is, we're smiling through it.
口语
So 稍顿，in truth 轻带，we're both smiling 放慢收住。
So, in truth, we're both relieved. 说实话，我们俩都松了口气。
“I've just felt like I'm trying to speed track this treatment so that we can just get on with our lives.”
我只是觉得一直在催着这段治疗快进，好让我们能接着过日子。
用 speed track 和 get on with our lives 把病人想赶快回归正常的心愿说得直白又心酸。
I'm trying to speed track ... so that we can get on with our lives.
说自己急着翻篇时用，语气要真；医生面前说会像不配合，换个说法。
I keep rushing the treatment so life can resume. ／ I just want to fast-forward through this and get back to normal.
口语
I've just felt like 连读带过，speed track this treatment 重读，get on with our lives 放慢收尾。
I'm speed tracking this course so we can get on with the project. 我正加速赶完这门课，好接着做项目。
"Hello, lovely folk. It's another spectacular, hot, clear day in Sydney, the kind of day you English folk are dreaming of, but in all honesty, we're longing for the autumn. Andy's doing really well and in the midst of an additional couple rounds of chemo. He's sitting, strumming on his beautiful guitar with a big smile on his face, which is partly to do with the fact that this morning he woke up with a massive boner, the first one for a wee while. So, in truth, we're both smiling. That's all for now. Sending you lots of love. Keep the updates coming and your lives rolling in as it's nice to be connected with people off this island."
“你们好呀，亲爱的朋友们。 悉尼今天又是大晴天，又热又敞亮，正是你们英国朋友梦寐以求的日子，可说句实话，我们这会儿倒盼着秋天来。 安迪状态挺不错，眼下又在做几轮化疗。 他正坐着，拨弄着他那把漂亮的吉他，脸上挂着大大的笑容；这一半是因为今早他一醒来就硬得厉害，这种精神头已经有些日子没出现了。 所以说真的，我们俩都在笑。 今天就先说到这儿。 给你们送去满满的爱。 继续给我们发近况，把你们的生活也写来，能跟岛外的人保持联系真好。”
下一章 · 17have your cake and eat it两头都占这场戏：小巷重逢聊最初印象说 be there for someone。台词 I just have to be there for Andy 就是「我只要守在安迪身边」，强调陪伴和支持，比只说 help 更有感情。
字面是「落地」，形容人时指「踏实、心神安定、不飘」。台词 I just feel so much calmer and more grounded 就是「我觉得平静多了，也踏实多了」，常用来讲心态变稳。
可以说 live in the present，本片里更地道的一句是 Right here, right now is today and enjoying today，意思就是「此时此地，就是享受今天」。
常是反话，等于「谢谢你什么都往外说」。台词 Well, thank you for sharing my morning boner with... 就是妻子把私事念出来后的一句吐槽，语气是又好气又好笑。
意思是「说句实话」，比 to be honest 更正式一点。台词 in all honesty, we're longing for the autumn 就是「说句实话，我们这会儿倒盼着秋天」，常用来先说客套话、再讲真实想法。
