满镇找翻译又救动物:hear a pin drop

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。

发生了什么

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。

关于这一章的问题

hear a pin drop 是什么意思?

意思是「安静得能听见针掉在地上」,形容极其安静。常用来渲染紧张、肃穆或屏息的场面。

say hello 还能表示「打招呼」以外吗?

基本就是字面的「打个招呼、问声好」。文中说 We can't even say hello,强调的是连最基本的交流都做不到。

turn out to know 怎么理解?

turn out to 表示「结果发现、竟然是」,turn out to know 就是「结果发现他会、懂」,常带一点意外的语气。

come off 是什么意思?

可以表示「从……下来、走出」,文中 coming off these buses 就是「从这些校车上下来」,也有「脱落」的意思。

「来回、往返」英语怎么说?

back and forth。文中校车 goin' back and forth all night 就是「整夜来回跑」,强调一遍遍地往返。
