送滞留乘客去营地:speak the same language

滞留的乘客坐上当地人的巴士,司机一路讲甘德的往事,还打趣说 Everything happens half an hour later in Newfoundland(在纽芬兰,什么事都晚半小时)。到了营地,志愿者用一本圣经和不懂英语的夫妇说话,就这样 started speaking the same language(开始说同一种语言)。想学闲聊、调侃和破冰的说法,这段很暖。

发生了什么

当地人开车把滞留乘客接走,巴士司机一路当起导游,打趣说 Everything happens half an hour later in Newfoundland(在纽芬兰,什么事都晚半小时)。路上遇到挡道的驼鹿,他只说 She'll move when she's good and ready(她准备好了才会走)。车上尼克和黛安聊起吃药、家人这些私事,一句 There you go, everything you need to know about me(好了,关于我你需要知道的都在这儿了)又好笑又坦白。到了救世军营地,志愿者拿一本圣经,翻到 Be anxious for nothing(应当一无挂虑)念给对方听,就这样 started speaking the same language(开始说同一种语言)。想学闲聊、坦白和破冰的说法,这段很暖。

发音重点

  • set foot in — set 的 t 轻弹一下连上 foot,三个词一气滑过,重音压在 foot 上。

Everything happens half an hour later in Newfoundland.

在纽芬兰,一切都晚半小时发生。 用半小时间隔介绍家乡时区,平淡里透着本地人的自豪与幽默。

Lucky for you, we haven't got around to it yet.

算你们走运,我们还没顾上把它拆了。 haven't got around to it 把拖延说成好运,自嘲里替旧机场找到意义。

She'll move when she's good and ready.

等她完全准备好了,自己会走开。 good and ready 叠用写出驼鹿的从容,也写出本地人对动物的耐心。

There you go, everything you need to know about me.

好了,关于我你需要知道的都在这儿了。 用一句坦白自嘲把私事和盘托出,既亲近又带点防御。

And that's how we started speaking the same language.

我们就是这样开始说上同一种语言的。 同一语言的字面与比喻同时成立,简短一句替陌生人搭起桥。

关于这一章的问题

speak the same language 是什么意思?

字面是「说同一种语言」,也引申为「彼此理解、有共同语言」。戏里两人靠一段经文,真的开始交流。

「把表调一下」英语怎么说?

reset your watch。到了不同时区要把表调准,reset 就是「重置、重新设定」,手机也能用 reset。

dust off 是什么说法?

字面是「掸掉灰尘」,引申为把搁置很久的东西重新拿出来用。戏里指大家翻出制服来迎接客人。

no need to 怎么用?

意思是「不必、没必要」,后面接动词,比如 there's no need to worry 就是「没什么好担心的」。

「没什么大问题」英语怎么说?

Nothing serious。用来淡化一件小毛病或小麻烦,比如说明身体的小状况,让对方别担心。
