坦白病情后互诉深情:more than capable

在法国南部,罗伯特得知科拉一直瞒着病情,一句 You should have told me!(你早该告诉我!)满是责备;科拉只想趁病前再享受一次。最后两人说起当年,I loved you before you loved me.(我爱你比你爱我还早)、You have been everything to me.(你对我就是一切),把半生情分说尽。想学怎么用英文责备又表达深情,这段很戳。

发生了什么

在法国南部,罗伯特得知科拉原来一直瞒着自己的病情,又急又气,怪她不该瞒着还跑这么远:You should have told me!(你早该告诉我!)。他说要带她去看正经医生,不是马赛那些 quack(江湖郎中),不行就去伦敦、去美国。科拉说,医院她管了这么多年,也许没那么糟;她只是想在 illness took over our lives(病痛接管生活)之前,抓住最后一次享受。两人冷静下来,说起当年:Remember, I loved you from the start.(记住,我从一开始就爱你),I loved you before you loved me.(我爱你比你爱我还早),You have been everything to me.(你对我就是一切)。想学怎么用英文表达责备、心疼和深情,这段很适合。

本章全部批注

34 句台词里标了 26 处

短语 · A2was going to do something

本来打算

I was going to, and then suddenly we were coming here.
短语 · B2should never have done something

本绝不该

But you should never have come here.
语法 · B2should never have come

should have done 表懊悔:should 加 have 加过去分词表示对过去行为的评判,常带懊悔或责备。这里说对方本绝不该来,把眼下的困境和当初的决定联系起来,语气里满是心疼。

But you should never have come here.
短语 · B1get someone to a place

把你送到

We have to get you to a proper doctor, and I don't mean some quack in Marseilles.
俚语 · B2quack

江湖郎中;冒牌医生——贬义口语,指无照行医或医术差的医生,也可泛指招摇撞骗者。正式场合或对医生本人不宜使用。

We have to get you to a proper doctor, and I don't mean some quack in Marseilles.
短语 · B2more than capable of doing something

完全有能力

丈夫主张另找医生,妻子提醒他熟识的克拉克森医生完全有能力做出诊断。

Dr. Clarkson is more than capable of coming up with a diagnosis.
发音coming up with

coming 的鼻音接上 up,成 comin-gup,p 又被 with 轻轻带住,中间不断。

Dr. Clarkson is more than capable of coming up with a diagnosis.
短语 · B1if someone has to

实在不行的话

Then we'll go to London. We'll-We'll go to America if we have to.
短语 · B2should have done something

早该告诉我

We'll discuss it when we know more. You should have told me!
短语 · B2a last treat

最后一次享受

With the chance of a last treat before illness took over our lives?
短语 · B1take over something

接管;侵占(我们的生活)

With the chance of a last treat before illness took over our lives?
短语 · B1as bad as that

那么糟

It may not be as bad as that. Robert, I've run the hospital for years.
发音as bad as that

bad 尾的 d 弹到 as 上,as 的 z 再黏住 that,整串 /əz-bæ-dəz-ðæt/。

It may not be as bad as that. Robert, I've run the hospital for years.
短语 · B1not what someone wanted at all

根本不是我要的

This is not what I wanted at all.
语法 · B2My being ill

动名词的复合结构:物主代词加动名词构成复合结构,整体充当句子的主语。这里把我生病这件事本身当成主语,强调它并不改变两人的关系,逻辑清晰又克制。

My being ill now doesn't make us sad.
短语 · B1can't bear something

受不了

妻子想到可能再失去丈夫,说自己受不了,随即又说自己受得了对方也能。

I can't bear it. If I can bear it, you can.
语法 · B2If I can bear it, you can

条件句中的省略:条件句的主句里省略了和从句相同的动词,只留情态动词,避免重复。这里把承受这件事省掉,节奏更紧,也把鼓励说得干脆有力。

I can't bear it. If I can bear it, you can.
发音can't bear it

bear 的 r 卷起来接 it,成 bea-rit;can't 里的 t 只做口型不送气,it 轻收。

I can't bear it. If I can bear it, you can.
短语 · A2from the start

从一开始

Remember, I loved you from the start.
语法 · B1before you loved me

before 引导时间状语从句:before 引出先后顺序,从句描述后发生的那个动作。这里把两个人的动情时刻排了序,先后的落差正是整句话的深情所在。

I loved you before you loved me.
短语 · B1be ashamed of something

为……感到羞愧

I've always been ashamed of that.
短语 · B2be everything to someone

是某人的一切

You have been everything to me.
短语 · B2for a while yet

还能再持续一阵

And I hope I can be everything for a while yet.

we must make an early start tomorrow... Oh.
短语 · B1be past one's bedtime

早过了睡觉时间

And it's hours past my bedtime.
短语 · A2get tickets

买票

Hope we can still get tickets on the Blue Train.

看懂「坦白病情后互诉深情」

这一章能学到

  • 理解“quack”在本场的具体语气
  • 分清“come up with”的字面和实际作用
  • 听出说话者如何推进这次对话

发音重点

  • coming up with — coming 的鼻音接上 up,成 comin-gup,p 又被 with 轻轻带住,中间不断。
  • as bad as that — bad 尾的 d 弹到 as 上,as 的 z 再黏住 that,整串 /əz-bæ-dəz-ðæt/。
  • can't bear it — bear 的 r 卷起来接 it,成 bea-rit;can't 里的 t 只做口型不送气,it 轻收。
I can't bear it. If I can bear it, you can.

我受不了。我都受得了,你也能。 先示弱再反转:I can't bear it 摊开脆弱,If I can bear it, you can 又把自己立成对方的支柱,短促滚烫。

You have been everything to me.

你对我就是一切。 用完成时 have been 把一辈子累积的分量一次交出,everything to me 简单到不能再简单,却最难反驳。

Remember, I loved you from the start.

记住,我从一开始就爱你。 命令式的 Remember 像一句叮嘱,from the start 把爱的时间线拉回最初,不安慰不解释,只要对方记住。

I loved you before you loved me.

我爱你比你爱我还早。 两个 loved 之间隔着一个 before,把先后与深情同时点出,承认了不对等却毫无委屈,是温柔的坦白。

And we have been happy, haven't we?

而且我们一直很幸福,不是吗? 把半生的结论交给一个 haven't we 的尾问,肯定里留着一丝确认的颤音,温柔得让人不忍否认。

关于这一章的问题

quack 是什么意思?

意思是「庸医、江湖郎中」,带贬义。罗伯特说要带科拉看正经医生,don't mean some quack in Marseilles,就是「不是马赛那些江湖郎中」。

「受不了」英语怎么说?

can't bear it。bear 在这里是「忍受」。台词里 I can't bear it. 就是「我受不了」,后面还接 If I can bear it, you can.,就是「我都受得了,你也能」。

more than capable 是什么语气?

表示「完全有能力」,比 capable 更强调。科拉说 Dr. Clarkson is more than capable of coming up with a diagnosis.,就是「克拉克森医生完全有能力做出诊断」。

make an early start 怎么用?

意思是「早点动身」,多指第二天出门赶路。台词说 we must make an early start tomorrow,就是「明天我们得一早出发」。

You have been everything to me 怎么理解?

是「你对我就是一切」,用现在完成时强调一直如此。罗伯特对科拉说这句,等于把半生的感激和爱一句话说尽,常用于最亲密的人之间。
