看懂「全球粉丝讲述剧集影响」

发音重点

  • became a hit — became 尾音轻轻滑向 a,hit 的 t 收住不爆。
  • entered the zeitgeist — entered 与 the 连读,the 与 zeitgeist 相接。
  • dropping my kids off — dropping 的 p 只做口型不出声,kids 的 d 舌尖轻弹,off 顺势接上。
  • gone global — gone 的 n 与 global 相接,连成 gone-global。
But I mean, as a woman, you have to take control of your life.

但我是说,作为女人,你得自己拿回生活的主导权。 用 as a woman 设定立场,再用 take control 把选择权收回自己手里,清醒而不喊口号。

I was at a very dark place.

我处在非常黑暗的地方。 用 at a very dark place 的空间比喻描述抑郁,不说重话却句句沉重,更能共情。

They were my friends since I didn't really have any.

他们就是我的朋友,因为我其实没什么朋友。 前半句给人温暖,since 从句把孤独摊开,两句之间的落差特别真实。

-Like every Chandler, I found my Monica.

就像每一个钱德勒,我找到了我的莫妮卡。 把剧中角色当成爱情的原型,用一个熟悉名字承载一整个爱情故事,温柔又有共鸣。

-It became a reason for me to wake up every day because I felt I had friends around me.

它成了我每天起床的理由,因为我感觉身边有朋友。 把一部剧说成起床的理由,理由又落回「身边有朋友」,温柔里带一点心酸。

关于这一章的问题

had a big hand in 是什么意思?

意思是「在……上出了大力、起了很大作用」。戏里一位粉丝说这部剧 had a big hand in teaching me English,就是它在自己学英语上帮了大忙。夸某件事帮了大忙,可以用。

「掌控自己的人生」英语怎么说?

可以说 take control of your life。戏里一位单身妈妈说她 take control of your life,意思是自己拿回生活的主导权、主动求婚,而不是被社会推着走。近义说法还有 take charge of your life。

enter the zeitgeist 指什么?

zeitgeist 是「时代精神、时代潮流」,enter the zeitgeist 就是「进入时代潮流、成了集体意识的一部分」。戏里说这部剧 somehow entered the zeitgeist,意思是它不知怎么就成了全社会都在聊的东西。

not your average television show 是什么语气?

是「这可不是普通电视剧」的意思,average 在这里指「平平无奇、寻常的」。戏里有人听到片头曲在电台播,就说这不是一般的电视剧,语气是惊讶加自豪。

粉丝为什么说这部剧给了自己朋友?

有人很孤单,说 They were my friends since I didn't really have any,也就是把剧里的人当成了自己的朋友;还有人说自己靠它走出抑郁,It became a reason for me to wake up every day。这些回答解释了这部剧为什么对很多人那么重要。
