挤满了人
By eight o'clock, the bar is completely packed with people from around the world.Come from Away · 2021 — 第 17 / 22 章 · 5'49" · B1
酒吧里挤满了滞留旅客,手风琴一响、卡拉 OK 一开,气氛越来越热,最后大家决定办一场「入籍礼」:一句 Let's make these people honorary Newfoundlanders!(咱们让这些人当荣誉纽芬兰人!),接着端出劣质朗姆 Screech,让人 take the plunge(豁出去试一把),还要 kiss the fish(亲那条鱼)。想学英语里起哄、壮胆、玩梗的说法,这段最好笑。
到八点,酒吧已经挤满来自世界各地的旅客,大家聊住处、聊见闻,伙计一趟趟去补啤酒和烈酒;过一会儿有人跳进屋后河里游泳,接着本地小伙拿起手风琴和提琴,还有人掏出丑棍,把船歌和卡拉 OK 一路唱起来。最后大家决定办一场「尖啸礼」,要把这些旅客变成荣誉纽芬兰人:先喝一口劣质朗姆 Screech,再 kiss the fish(亲一条鳕鱼)。有人问一对没结婚的情侣你们婚姻怎么运作,结果当场被起哄「想结吗」,女方一句 Well, why not?(那,有何不可?)就把婚定了。想学英语里起哄、被劝、半推半就答应的说法,这段又闹又暖。

Diane had had two beers by then, so it was probably the alcohol talking.黛安那时已经喝了两杯啤酒,所以大概是酒在说话。 用一句自嘲替冲动解释,把责任推给酒,好笑又真实。
意思是「下定决心一试、终于豁出去」,常指迈出犹豫很久的那一步,比如辞职、结婚、跳进冷水。
意思是「一趟趟跑去拿(补给)」。文中酒吧伙计 keep making runs for more beer 就是「不停跑去补啤酒」。
意思是「不冒险就什么也做不成」,是 Nothing ventured, nothing gained 的变体,常用来鼓励人试一把。
意思是「举手」,可以是报名、发言或投票。文中说自己也不知道为什么 put up my hand,就是莫名其妙举了手。
kiss the fish。这是纽芬兰「尖啸礼」的经典环节,想当荣誉纽芬兰人就得亲一条鳕鱼。
