飞机落地却迟迟不让下机,乘客在机上熬了二十多个小时。有人凭直觉说 someone's hiding something(对方在瞒事),也有人只想告诉家人自己在哪儿;夜里广播传来总统讲话,一句 make no mistake(别搞错)让全机静下来。想学英语里表达怀疑、无助和振作的说法,这段很沉。
飞机落地却迟迟不让下机,乘务员只说没什么事,可有人凭经验就知道对方在瞒事。两个陌生人聊起各自的担忧:一个只想告诉家人自己在纽芬兰却做不到,还自嘲 I'm hoping you're one of those people who laughs when English people say awkward things(我希望你是那种人——听英国人讲尴尬话会笑)。机上熬了二十多个小时,有人叹 There's nothing left to do but drink(除了喝酒再没别的可做)。夜里广播传来总统讲话,全机安静,最后一句 But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test(但请不要搞错:我们会向世界证明,我们一定通过这场考验)。想学英语里焦虑、自嘲和被打动的说法,这段很动人。

The flight attendants keep telling us nothing's wrong.藏着事、隐瞒什么
一位见多识广的乘客说,机组明显 hiding something,她看得出来。
But I got kids, and I got grandkids. I know when someone's hiding something.when 引导宾语从句:when 从句作 know 的宾语,说明自己在什么情况下能判断;一句经验之谈把人设立住。
But I got kids, and I got grandkids. I know when someone's hiding something.别再追问
And when parents need their kids to stop asking questions, they start playing movies.need someone to do 结构:need 后面接人再接 to do,表示需要某人做某事;把孩子追问和放电影连成因果。
And when parents need their kids to stop asking questions, they start playing movies.把……过了一遍
We ran through every movie we had.你介意……吗
Do you mind if I sit here?把活干完
I need to get some work done, and there's some drunk people at the back of the plane在……后部
I need to get some work done, and there's some drunk people at the back of the plane扯着嗓子(唱或喊)
飞机后部一群喝醉的乘客 at the top of their lungs 唱歌,尼克没法工作。
singing at the top of their lungs.at 的 t 在两元音间弹成闪音,the 的元音极轻,常压缩成 /ə ðə tɑːp/,重音压在 top。
singing at the top of their lungs.某种办法
I just wish there was some way to tell him where I am.wish 加过去式:wish 后面用过去式表示与事实相反的愿望;一句话说出无法联系对方的无力。
I just wish there was some way to tell him where I am.在两者之间
Somewhere in between非常;该死(用于加强语气)——口语里加强语气,强度属中等粗话;正式场合和对长辈别用。
And I'm so damn helpless无事可做
There's nothing left to do but drink给我们透露消息、让我们知情
乘客困在机上,盼着有人 clue us in,告诉他们到底发生了什么。
And wondering If there's someone going to clue us in在黑暗里;蒙在鼓里
Tell us all what's happening Because the sun is setting And we're sitting in the dark Wherever we arein the dark 里 in 和 the 连读,the 又接 dark,整串很快。
Tell us all what's happening Because the sun is setting And we're sitting in the dark Wherever we are安静下来
and the whole plane goes silent when the president gives his speech.和我一起(做某事)
I ask the American people to join me in saying a thanks受到考验
The resolve of our great nation is being tested.别搞错;这一点毫无疑问
总统在讲话中安抚民众之后,用这句话强调美国一定会通过这场考验。
But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test.祈使句表强调:make no mistake 以祈使句开头,提醒听众不要误解;为后面的承诺加重语气。
But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test.上帝保佑
God bless.God 的 d 在 b 前只摆舌尖、不爆破,bless 紧接上来,重音落在 bless。
God bless.I'm hoping you're one of those people who laughs when English people say awkward things.我希望你是那种听到英国人讲尴尬话会笑的人。 自嘲式请求,把民族刻板印象用在自己身上,礼貌又可爱。
I just wish there was some way to tell him where I am.我只希望能有办法告诉他我在哪儿。 虚拟语气说出做不到的愿望,克制却最让人共情。
There's nothing left to do but drink除了喝酒,再没别的可做。 把无力感写成黑色幽默,说得越轻反而越真实。
The resolve of our great nation is being tested.我们伟大国家的决心正受到考验。 被动的「正受考验」把灾难升格为国家叙事,庄重有力。
But make no mistake: We will show the world that we will pass this test.但别搞错:我们会让世界看到,我们一定能通过这场考验。 make no mistake 把安慰变成誓言,重复的 will 给出确定性。
意思是「别搞错、这一点毫无疑问」,后面往往接一句必须认真对待的话,用来加重语气。
可以说 at the top of their lungs,指用最大声唱或喊。singing at the top of their lungs 就是「扯着嗓子在唱」。
意思是「给我们透露消息、让我们知情」。想知道发生了什么,就可以问 can you clue us in,语气比较随意。
可以说 hide something。someone's hiding something 就是「有人在瞒着什么」,常用来表达怀疑。
可以说 there's nothing left to do but…,比如 there's nothing left to do but drink 就是「除了喝酒再没别的可做」,满是无奈。
