还是明知故犯的
Ignorant and willfully so.Enola Holmes · 2020 — 第 8 / 12 章 · 3'28" · B2
图克斯伯里找到躲在小旅馆的伊诺拉,两人先拌嘴:一个说对方 ignorant(无知),一个回 how dare you(你竟敢)。伊诺拉留着旧报纸,是在等母亲用 cipher(密码)留信,也提醒他:Greed does funny things to people(贪婪会让人做出反常的事),有人为家产可能要他的命。想学斗嘴和提醒危险的英语,值得一听。
图克斯伯里找到躲在小旅馆的伊诺拉,两人刚见面就拌嘴。有人嫌对方 ignorant(无知),对方立刻回一句 how dare you(你竟敢),还赌气说 You're a man when I tell you you're a man(我说你是男人才算)。斗完嘴,气氛软下来:伊诺拉承认他穿马裤好看,I'll give you that(这一点我承认)。她留着旧报纸,其实是在等母亲用 cipher(密码)给她留信,因为她相信母亲离开是有原因的。她还提醒图克斯伯里,有人为他的家产和头衔可能对他下手,Greed does funny things to people(贪婪会让人做出反常的事)。想学斗嘴、示好和提醒危险的英语,这些句子都很好用。
这场戏看什么
留意这几个短语
do funny things to someonehow dare youa shade moreI'll give you that
本章短语

你竟敢、你怎么敢

这一点我承认、算你说得对
52 句台词里标了 20 处
还是明知故犯的
Ignorant and willfully so.改变主意
You could change your mind about a boy. I'm not a boy.when 引导的时间状语从句:You re a man when I tell you you re a man 里 when 引出时间状语从句,说明主句成立的条件。从句里 tell you 后面是宾语从句 you re a man,两个 you re a man 前后呼应,语气像在立规矩:我说你是男人才算数。
You're a man when I tell you you're a man.这一点我承认、算你说得对
子爵嘴上不服,却承认伊诺拉穿马裤确实更好看,用 I'll give you that 让了一步。
You do look better in breeches, I'll give you that.wanted to miss you 里 wanted 末尾的 t 在快速口语里弹成轻 d,to 又弱读,整串像 wan-di-tuh-miss-you。
I wanted to miss you,被拉回来
but I kept getting dragged back towards you.身处严重危险
Now, come on. We're in serious danger, if you didn't know.稍微多一点
子爵说自己找的住处比伊诺拉这里稍微舒服一点。
I afforded myself a shade more comfort than this.对那东西小心点
Be careful with that. I haven't finished reading it yet.等着她来做某事
I'm waiting for her to leave me a message.need 接被动不定式:need to be deciphered 表示这些消息需要被破译,need 后面接被动不定式 to be 加过去分词,主语是动作的承受者。也可以换成动名词主动形式,意思一样,但 to be 加过去分词的说法更直白,强调消息本身等着被处理。
Coded messages that need to be deciphered.本意是让我找到
And I thought she meant for me to find her, but I'm not sure she did now.代动词 did 替代重复动作:I m not sure she did now 里 did 是代动词,替掉了前面出现过的 meant for me to find her,避免整句重复。now 在这里表示「到如今才」,说明想法是刚变的。整句从确信转为怀疑,转折全靠这个 did。
And I thought she meant for me to find her, but I'm not sure she did now.look at 的 k 与 at 相拼常连成 /lʊkət/,at 弱化为 /ət/;三个词挤成 /ˈlʊkətmi/,重音仍在 look。
Don't look at me like that.要你的同情
I don't want your pity, Tewkesbury.还有彼此
Still, at least we've got each other.给我们弄点茶
I'll make us some tea.想置我于死地
Why would anyone want me dead?silly 尾元音和后词无停顿,常连成 /ˈsɪli smaɪl/;s 起头别憋气,重音落在 smile。
Your personality, your ridiculous hair, your silly smile, or possibly your land, your estate, your title, your seat.让人做出反常的事
伊诺拉对子爵解释,贪婪会让人做出反常的事,甚至不惜杀人。
Greed does funny things to people, Tewkesbury.Greed does funny things to people, Tewkesbury.贪婪会让人做出许多怪事,图克斯伯里。 一句冷静的人性判断,把凶案从个人恶意拉回到普遍动机。它不说谁坏,只说人会怎么变,反而更让人后背发凉。
And I thought she meant for me to find her, but I'm not sure she did now.我本以为她是要我去找她,可现在我拿不准了。 把「寻找」这件事从使命降成猜测:也许母亲根本没想让我去。它诚实地记录信任出现裂缝的一刻,是伊诺拉成长的转折句。
I don't want your pity, Tewkesbury.我不需要你的同情,图克斯伯里。 在最狼狈的时候先划清界限:可以一起逃命,但别把我当可怜人。它把尊严摆在安全前面,一句话立住伊诺拉的骨头。
You're a man when I tell you you're a man.我说你是男人,你才是男人。 一句话把「谁说了算」摊开:身份不是自称的,得由我来盖章。句式工整、节奏好记,是带着玩心的下马威。
字面是「对某人做滑稽的事」,实际指「让人做出反常的事」。剧里说贪婪会对人 do funny things,就是贪欲让人变得不择手段。
how dare you。被人冒犯时用来反问,语气很冲。剧里被骂无知后回了一句 How dare you!,就是「你竟敢这么说!」
意思是「这一点我承认、算你说得对」,先让步再反驳。剧里承认对方穿马裤好看,就用了 I'll give you that。
意思是「稍微多一点」,a shade 是「一丝、一点」。剧里说给自己安排了 a shade more comfort,就是住处比这里舒服一点点。
可以用 meant for me to find。剧里说以为母亲 meant for me to find her,就是「我本以为她是要我去找到她」。
