滞留小镇等待消息:suit yourself

旅客在收容点换上别人捐的衣服,有人打电话回家,只说一句 I just needed to hear your voice(我只是需要听听你的声音)。广播里传来坏消息:The American airspace remains closed(美国领空仍然关闭);有人提不起劲,想躺下假装什么都没发生,同伴只好丢下一句 Suit yourself(随你便)。想学安慰和丧气话,这段很戳心。

发生了什么

滞留的旅客在收容点醒来,大家挤在地上睡了一夜,随后有人发衣服,凯文换上格子的,自称要 blend in(融入当地)。有人打电话回家,只想听家人的声音;广播里,机长说 The American airspace remains closed(美国领空仍然关闭),还要 for some time(待上一阵子)。汉娜坐立不安,只想等儿子的消息;有人劝她出去走走,说 It'll do you good(对你有好处),她却不领情,说躺着假装什么都没发生才好,对方只好回一句 Suit yourself(随你便)。另一边,小镇张罗起素食、洁食和各式饭菜,热闹又暖心。想学安慰、报消息和丧气话的英语,这段很全。

看懂「滞留小镇等待消息」

发音重点

  • look nice — look 的 k 只做口型、不冲出气流,紧接 nice,重音落在 look 和 nice 两个实词。
  • act like — act 的 t 在两辅音间只轻触一下,紧接 like,中间不停顿。
  • Suit yourself — suit yourself 里 suit 的 t 和 yourself 连读,听起来像 sui-yourself。
I just needed to hear your voice.

我只是需要听到你的声音。 用一句最普通的请求说尽牵挂:不是要消息,是要那个人还在的证据。朴素得让人心软。

I know this is gonna be hard to hear.

我知道这话很难听进去。 用 hard to hear 先给坏消息垫一层缓冲,既诚实又体贴。宣布艰难事实时的标准开场。

No, what'll do me good is to lie down, pretend this isn't happening.

不,对我有好处的是躺下,假装这一切没发生。 用 what'll do me good 的正经句式和假装没发生形成反差,自嘲里全是疲惫。拒绝关心也是求救。

And it's somehow like We're at a costume party

不知怎么的,我们就像在一个化装舞会上。 用 costume party 比喻一群人临时穿上别人的衣服、扮演陌生的自己,轻盈的意象里藏着身份的松动。

关于这一章的问题

suit yourself 是什么意思?

意思是「随你便、你爱怎样就怎样」,带点冷淡或不耐烦。劝不动对方时,甩出这句等于「那你自己看着办」。

blend in 怎么用?

意思是「融入、不显眼」,常指混进人群不引人注意。He wants to blend in with the locals 就是「他想混进当地人里」。

do you good 是什么意思?

意思是「对你有好处」。It'll do you good 就是「这对你有好处」,常用来劝人出去走走、换个心情。

「要待上一阵子」英语怎么说?

for some time。We're gonna be here for some time 就是「我们要在这儿待上一阵子」,语气委婉但时间不短。

「我只是想听听你的声音」英语怎么说?

I just needed to hear your voice。想表达想念、想报平安时,这句话简单又动人。
