停电烛光下过生日:get the wrong idea

雷恩二十一岁生日那天,屋外狂风暴雨,屋里的灯突然全灭。烛光下盖布先老实交代:To tell you the truth, we're not together anymore(实不相瞒,我们已经不在一起了),又把藏了一整晚的礼物递过去,说自己一直没敢拿出来,怕人 get the wrong idea(往歪处想)。想学这种又暖又微妙的对白,这些很上头。

发生了什么

雷恩二十一岁生日,派对赶上一场飓风:窗外暴雨雷电,大家都到楼上来看,说这是卡罗来纳那场飓风的尾巴,风雨还会更大。有人提到雷恩就是在飓风里出生的,it's very fitting(真应景)。正说着,灯全灭了,有人抱怨 just my luck(就我这运气),还是自己生日;大家点起蜡烛。烛光里盖布说你在烛光下真漂亮,又坦白 To tell you the truth, we're not together anymore(实不相瞒,我们已经不在一起了),然后拿出藏在外套里一整晚的生日礼物,说自己没敢在别的房间给,怕人 get the wrong idea(往歪处想)。雷恩说礼物很美,最后开口:她真正想要的,是一个生日吻。

看懂「停电烛光下过生日」

这一章能学到

  • 理解“to tell you the truth”在本场的具体语
  • 分清“get the wrong idea”的字面和实际作用
  • 听出说话者如何推进这次对话
To tell you the truth, we're not together anymore.

跟你说实话吧,我们已经不在一起了。 在最热闹的生日会上,用一句最平的话交代婚姻结束。越平静,越显出一个人的处境。

Oh, it's very fitting. I was born during a hurricane.

哦,这可太应景了。我就是在飓风里出生的。 把天气和自己的出生连在一起,像是命运在配合。一个自嘲的巧合,却让这场停电生日有了象征意味。

Oh, this is just my luck on my own birthday.

哦,就我这运气,还是自己生日。 just my luck 是句万能的反讽,加上 on my own birthday 就把倒霉推到顶点。自嘲得恰到好处。

Happy birthday. I've been carrying this around all night.

生日快乐。这东西我揣了一整晚。 把心意藏在「揣了一整晚」里:一句祝福,说尽了整晚的犹豫和紧张。

关于这一章的问题

get the wrong idea 是什么意思?

意思是「误会、往歪处想」。原句说怕别人 get the wrong idea,就是不想让人把送礼物的举动想成别的意思。

To tell you the truth 怎么用?

意思是「老实跟你说」,在要讲不太好开口的实话前先打个招呼。原句接 we're not together anymore,就是坦白自己已经和妻子分开了。

「恰如其分、很应景」英语怎么说?

fitting。原句说在飓风里过生日 it's very fitting,还补一句自己就是飓风里出生的,用一个词把巧合说得很宿命。

「被误解、被曲解」英语怎么讲?

be misconstrued,比 misunderstood 更正式,指被解读成错误的意思。原句 It could be misconstrued,就是「这可能会被想歪」。

「就我这运气」用英语怎么表达?

just my luck,通常是反讽,意思是「果然又轮到我倒霉」。原句 this is just my luck on my own birthday,就是「偏偏在我自己生日上出这事」。

「暴风雨的尾巴」英语怎么说?

the tail end of,指某件事的尾声。原句 the tail end of that hurricane off Carolina,就是「卡罗来纳那场飓风的尾巴」。
