执意回家与人性根基:one last crack at

飞船里有人念着那个像人的幽灵,坚信答案就在那房间;罗米提议 one last crack at(最后再试一次)——让探测器再闯黑洞搏一把,可也有人一句 I'm going home(我要回家)把话说到底。到了曼恩星,又有人说想和别人在一起的渴望才是人性根基。想学劝人再试和谈人性,这段够用。

发生了什么

这是《星际穿越》里库珀一行人在黑洞与曼恩星之间做选择的一段。飞船里,有人坚信答案就在那个房间,说 So I have to find it(所以我必须找到答案);有人提醒 We're running out of time(我们没时间了),有人提议 one last crack at(最后再试一次),让探测器再闯黑洞搏一把。可也有人一句 I'm going home(我要回家)把话说死,还回了一句 Before you get all teary(在你感动落泪之前)。到了曼恩星,又有人说那种 yearning to be with other people(渴望和别人在一起)正是人性根基,not to be taken lightly(不可轻视)。想学谈选择、谈归心和谈人性的说法,这段很集中。

语法 · B2I'm still trying to solve this

still 与进行时:Brand gave up on us. I'm still trying to solve this. 里 still 放在 be 动词之后,与进行时连用,表示这个动作从过去持续到现在还没停。它和前面 gave up 形成对照:一个已经放弃,一个还在坚持。

TARS is the obvious candidate.
短语 · C1get all teary

感动得要哭

Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say.

虚拟条件:But I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention... 里 I'd be remiss 是设想中的自责,if 从句用 didn't 构成假设。整句的意思是:如果我不提一句,那就是我的失职。它把劝人留下说得客气又坚定。

看懂「执意回家与人性根基」

这一章能学到

  • 掌握 running out of time 的倒计时表达
  • 会用 return journey 描述返程安排
  • 理解 safety first 的风险优先顺序
  • 听懂 yearning 如何表达强烈牵挂

发音重点

  • felt like — felt 末尾的 t 在 like 的 l 前只做口型、不送气,直接滑到 like。
  • the obvious candidate — the 的元音与 obvious 相接,中间常带一个轻 j,candidate 重音落在 can 上。
  • get all teary — get 末尾的 t 夹在两个元音间,弹成美国式的轻 d,再顺到 teary。
Brand gave up on us. I'm still trying to solve this.

布兰德教授放弃我们了。我还在想办法解它。 一句话把两代人的分野说清:上一代认输,这一代还在算。它不煽情,只陈述事实,却把坚持变成一种安静的对抗。

You better slow down, turbo. Safety first, CASE, remember.

你最好慢一点,飙车王。安全第一,凯斯,记住了。 用一句调侃把纪律说成玩笑,既提醒了对方,又不伤和气。turbo 这个绰号让紧张的现场多了一点人味,也显出他们对机器的亲近。

It was trying to tell me something.

它想告诉我些什么。 把线索或直觉拟人化,留下未解的悬念;短却有对象、有方向。

Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say.

先别急着掉眼泪,记住我作为机器人,你必须说什么我就得做什么。 在最煽情的送别时刻,机器人偏要把感动拆穿成一句义务条款。用冷幽默化解悲壮,是 TARS 这个角色最讨喜的地方。

关于这一章的问题

one last crack at 是什么意思?

意思是「最后再试一次」。crack 在这里是「尝试」,one last crack at the black hole 就是「最后再向黑洞搏一把」,机会不多、想拼一下时用。

「时间不够了」英语怎么说?

run out of time。We're running out of time 就是「我们没时间了」,临到头、赶不上时都能说,比 no time 更像一句提醒。

not to be taken lightly 是什么意思?

意思是「不可轻视、要认真对待」。台词里 It's not to be taken lightly 说的是那种想和人在一起的渴望,虽是情感,但分量很重。

「风暴会过去」英语怎么说?

blow over。These squalls do usually blow over 就是「这种狂风通常都会过去的」,吵架、风波也常说 it'll blow over,等它自己平息。

「我要回家」英语怎么说?

I'm going home。台词里那句 I'm going home 就是「我要回家」,简单直接,也常用来表明自己不再留下、要收手了。
