Friends: The Reunion · 2021 — 第 12 / 25 章 · 3'04" · B2

没人教你成名是什么样:a completely different ballgame

重聚特辑里,主创回忆走红后的日子:有人在机场发现同伴上了每一本杂志,有人家里被直升机航拍直播,屋顶还漏了水。一句 it was a completely different ballgame(情况截然不同),配上一句 no one really prepares you for what that's going to be like(没人真正教过你那会是什么感觉)。想聊成名、聊巨变,学这几句最到位。

发生了什么

重聚特辑的后半段,大家先玩了一道加赛题:莫妮卡当年为什么选了钱德勒,钱德勒到底靠什么吃饭?有人冒出一个词 transponster(剧中那个根本不存在的词),全场笑翻。接着话题转向走红之后:第二季回来时 it was a completely different ballgame(情况截然不同),街上有人喊「嘿」,一开始 very jarring(让人很不适应)。有人讲起家里的直升机航拍,还有人感叹 no one really prepares you for what that's going to be like(没人真正教过你那是种什么感觉),能懂这份感受的只有另外五个人。想学英语里聊成名、聊共同经历的说法,这段都在。

When did you start to feel like those changes that you'd been told about were starting --
语法 · C1you'd been told about

被动语态:you'd been told about 是过去完成时的被动,表示在那之前别人就告诉过你的那些变化。用被动是因为重点是被告知这件事本身。

演员说真正知道成名那是什么滋味的,只有另外五个人。

-But the only other people who really knew what it was like were the other five.
语法 · B2who really knew what it was like

短语 · B1be on every magazine

看懂「没人教你成名是什么样」

发音重点

  • think this through — think 的 k 与 this 相接几乎不停,this 的 s 也弱化。
  • resonated with people — resonated 与 with 连读,with people 一气带过。
  • a completely different ballgame — completely 的 t 弹成 flap,different 的 t 也弱化。
  • prepares you for — prepares 的 /z/ 接 you 的 /j/,常连成 /prɪˈpeəzjə/;for 弱成 /fə/,重音留在 prepares 第二音节。
No one really prepares you for what that's going to be like.

没有人真正教过你,那会是什么感觉。 否定加 prepare 的句式说出普遍的无力感,平静陈述反而更容易让人共鸣。

-But the only other people who really knew what it was like were the other five.

但真正知道那是什么感觉的,只剩另外五个人。 用 the only other people 把理解的范围缩到极小,落点在那五个人身上,既浪漫又孤独。

When we came back for a second season, it was a completely different ballgame.

等我们回来拍第二季,就完全是另一回事了。 用球赛换场的比喻说清暴涨的变化,不堆形容词,一句 ballgame 交代落差。

Our friends, our closest friends couldn't relate.

我们的朋友,我们最亲近的朋友,都没法感同身受。 用递进的重复把孤独推到顶点:连最亲近的朋友都无法理解,只剩下这六个人彼此懂得。

关于这一章的问题

a completely different ballgame 是什么意思?

意思是「情况完全不同、完全是另一回事」。文中形容第二季回来时,剧组和走红的处境跟第一季判若两样。

「那是什么感觉」英语怎么说?

what it was like,常和 know 连用,比如 the only people who knew what it was like,意思是只有他们知道那是什么感觉。

prepares you for 怎么用?

意思是「让你为……做好准备」,前面常加 no one、nothing,表示没人或没什么能提前教你怎么应对。

sure as shit 能随便用吗?

意思接近「果然没错、千真万确」,但带粗口,只适合熟人之间或影视台词,正式场合别用。

very jarring 形容什么?

意思是「让人很不适应、很晃人」。文中形容突然被路人认出打招呼时那种别扭的感觉。
