Pray you never learn...Interstellar · 2014 — 第 9 / 13 章 · 3'24" · B1
冰封星球上,队员唤醒沉睡的曼恩博士,他第一句就是 You have literally raised me from the dead(你简直把我从死里救活了)。星球极冷,但地表有可呼吸的空气,give way to(让位给、转变为)说氨气让位给有机环境,甚至猜大家能 sharing this world(共同生活在这个世界)。想学讲绝境逢生和新发现,这几句够用。
冰封星球上,队员唤醒沉睡多年的曼恩博士,他第一句就是 You have literally raised me from the dead(你简直把我从死里救活了),还自比 Lazarus(拉撒路)。他讲起这颗星球:白天长达67小时、夜里更冷,高处的水是碱性的,但到了地表,give way to(让位给、转变为)说氨气让给了可呼吸的空气,甚至可能有生命,一句 We might be sharing this world(我们或许能共同生活在这个世界)让所有人心里一动。可惜气氛刚要转好,凯斯转来一条消息,告诉布兰德她的父亲去世了。想学怎么讲绝境逢生、转机和坏消息,这些表达都用得上。

但愿你别体会到
Pray you never learn...Pray you never learn 里重音落在 never 上,把它读重读长,才表达出「千万别」的意味。
Pray you never learn...感觉能有多好
...just how good it can be to see another face.一开始、本来
I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but...设定醒来的日期
The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date.the last time 引导的从句:The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date. 里 The last time 引出时间从句,从句用一般过去时 went。主句的否定 didn't even 加强「连……都没有」。整句用最平常的睡前动作,说明他已经放弃了醒来的打算。
The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date.went 末尾的 t 在 to 前几乎不除阻,常吞掉,整串听着像 /wɛn tə sliːp/;to 常弱化为 /tə/,重心落在 sleep。
The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date.把某人从死里救活
曼恩博士多年独处、补给耗尽,见到救援队时说他们简直把他从死里救活了。
You have literally raised me from the dead.就剩你了
- What about the others? - I'm afraid you're it, sir.you're 收尾的 r 常连成 /jərɪt/ 接住 it 的元音,中间不停;it 读得短而轻,别拖长。
- What about the others? - I'm afraid you're it, sir.几乎不可能救出
No, our present situation is that there's very little chance of rescuing any others.too ... to 结构:...the air has too much ammonia to breathe for more than just a few minutes... 里 too much 加名词,再跟 to breathe,表示「氨气多到没法呼吸」。too ... to 自带否定含义,等于「多到无法……」。后面 for more than a few minutes 补出能坚持的时长。
...and the air has too much ammonia to breathe for more than just a few minutes...让位给、变成
The ammonia gives way to crystalline hydrocarbons and breathable air.共同生活在这个世界
We might be sharing this world.投放了各种探测器
Over the years, I've dropped various probes.组织了几次大型考察
How far have you explored? - I've mounted several major expeditions.干了大部分跑腿的活
But with oxygen in limited supply, KIPP there really did most of the legwork.硬撑了一段时间
We struggled on for a time, but ultimately I decommissioned him and...把他停用报废了
We struggled on for a time, but ultimately I decommissioned him and...让任务继续下去
...used his power source to keep the mission going.需要人来经手
库珀提议去看看损坏的机器人,曼恩拒绝,说它需要的是人亲手处理。
No. No. He needs a human touch.转达一条消息
Dr. Brand, CASE is relaying a message for you from the comm station.很抱歉要告诉你
Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today.You have literally raised me from the dead.你简直把我从死里救活了。 用一句夸张的复活比喻,把多年的孤独和绝望一口气说尽。它既是感谢,也是独处太久的人终于见到同类时的失控。
We might be sharing this world.我们或许能共同生活在这个世界。 一个 we 把两个星球上的孤独者连到一起,用「或许」保留了希望也保留了风险。它比「这是我的星球」更克制,也更像一句邀请。
Dr. Brand, I'm sorry to tell you that your father died today.布兰德博士,很抱歉要告诉你,你父亲今天去世了。 把最坏的消息放在最礼貌的句式里:先道歉,再陈述。冷静的措辞和沉重的消息形成落差,也让整章的希望戛然而止。
The last time I went to sleep, I didn't even set a waking date.我上一次入睡时,连醒来的日期都没设。 把「绝望」具体成一个技术细节:连闹钟都懒得设。不用一个形容绝望的词,却让听的人瞬间明白他熬到了什么地步。
字面是「把某人从死里拉回来」,意思是「把某人从死里救活」。戏里说 You have literally raised me from the dead,就是「你简直把我从死里救活了」,说法夸张,用来形容绝处逢生。
a human touch。戏里说 He needs a human touch,就是「他需要人来处理」,常用来指机器或事情得由真人来接管、亲自料理。
意思是「让位给、转变为」。戏里说 The ammonia gives way to crystalline hydrocarbons,就是「氨气让位给了结晶碳氢化合物」,常指一种东西被另一种取代。
指「跑腿打基础的辛苦活」。戏里说 KIPP did most of the legwork,就是「基普承担了大部分跑腿工作」,强调那些琐碎但必要的前期工作。
他说星球很冷,白天长达67小时、夜晚更冷,高处的水是碱性的,但地表氨气让位给可呼吸的空气,甚至可能有生命,所以他们或许能共同生活在这颗星球上。
