来回;往返
Every school bus we got is goin' back and forth all night.Come from Away · 2021 — 第 8 / 22 章 · 2'46" · B1
甘德人开着校车整夜来回,把世界各地的旅客送到营地,可大家各说各的语言,一句 We can't even say hello(我们连你好都不会说)道出窘境。广播满世界找翻译:有人会说 Mandarin(普通话)、Hindi(印地语)吗?想学英语里求助、描述混乱场面的说法,这段又暖又急。
甘德人整夜用校车把世界各地的旅客送往营地,开过甘德镇外,一句 you could hear a pin drop(安静得能听见针掉在地上)形容车上的寂静。可语言不通,一句 We can't even say hello(我们连你好都不会说)说得无奈,于是广播到处求助:会说普通话、印地语、摩尔多瓦语的旅客请来翻译。结果发现,学校的法语老师 turns out to know a little Russian(原来还会一点俄语),体育老师也会西班牙语。另一边,动物保护协会的邦妮钻进货舱照顾滞留的猫和猴子,外头却传来消息:所有美国飞机一律按炸弹威胁处理。想学英语里求助、描写紧张场面的说法,这段很真实。
