Come from Away · 2021 — 第 21 / 22 章 · 3'32" · B1

回家后各自面对失去:ground zero

一切结束后,有人说自己 I hadn't let myself cry the whole time(这整整几天,我一直不准自己哭),一坐下打开电视就哭了。返程时透过舷窗看见曼哈顿还在冒烟,回到家只觉得 My flat is the same as I left it, but emptier(公寓跟走时一样,只是更空了)。想学把疲惫、失去和余震说出口的说法,这段很戳心。

发生了什么

五天的紧绷过去,人们陆续回到自己的生活。有人连续五天没合眼,事后却 But somehow I can't sleep(可不知怎么的,我睡不着),坐下打开电视就哭,因为 I hadn't let myself cry the whole time(这整整几天我一直不准自己哭)。返程的飞机上,舷窗外还能看到曼哈顿在冒烟,有人又怕了起来;落地回家,My flat is the same as I left it, but emptier(我的公寓跟走时一样,只是更空了);去 ground zero(世贸遗址)时,那儿 still burning(还在烧)。感情也碎了:有人被分手、有人失去了朋友;汉娜在电话那头听到 He's gone(他不在了),只剩一句 I'm so sorry(我真的很难过)。想学讲疲惫、失去和余震的说法,这段很沉重。

可不知怎么的,我就是睡不着。 somehow 加 can't sleep 写出透支后的失眠,一句就埋下所有崩溃的伏笔。

My flat is the same as I left it, but emptier.

我的公寓和离开时一模一样,只是更空了。 先肯定一切如旧,再用一个比较级推翻感受——空荡不来自陈设,而来自人。

The only reason we met was because this terrible thing happened.

我们能认识,唯一的原因就是发生了这件可怕的事。 把最温暖的相遇归因于最大的灾难,矛盾里全是说不出口的感激与愧疚。

It's like the end of the world. It's literally still burning!

简直像世界末日。那儿真的还在烧! 两个短句把比喻和事实并置,literally 让夸张落地,亲眼所见的震撼全在感叹号里。

How do I tell him I wasn't just okay, I was so much better?

我要怎么告诉他,我不只是没事,而是过得好太多了? 用一个无解的问题,把私人幸福放进他人的灾难里,愧疚和真诚同时出现。

关于这一章的问题

ground zero 是什么意思?

字面是「原点」,也特指世贸遗址,泛指灾难中心或事件的爆发点。戏里说去 ground zero,就是去世贸遗址现场。

「连续好几天」英语怎么说?

days straight,比如 up for five days straight 就是「连续五天没睡」,straight 在这里表示「不间断」。

「和……分手」英语怎么说?

break up with someone。也可以说 they broke up,指两个人分手;戏里是被动的一方在讲这件事。

「另一个地方」英语怎么说?

a different place,形容某处变得完全不一样了。戏里说机场 empty and silent,就是「完全是另一个地方」。

How do I tell him ... 是什么句式?

意思是「我该怎么跟他说……」,用来表达难以开口。戏里说 How do I tell him I wasn't just okay, I was so much better,就是这份为难。
