省略关系从句:we can adopt 修饰前面的 baby,关系代词在口语中省略了。
- There's a baby we can adopt. - Are you serious?Mighty Aphrodite · 1995 — 第 2 / 15 章 · 3'31" · B2
阿曼达催伦尼赶紧收养一个刚出生的男婴,伦尼却 put my foot down(坚决反对),说要是逼他马上答复,那就是「不」。等孩子真抱来,他立刻变脸:孩子 light as a feather(轻得像羽毛),他激动得要把「伟大」传给孩子,还被劝 Get a grip on yourself(别失态)。想学坚决表态、形容轻飘飘的,这几句很地道。
阿曼达告诉伦尼,有个刚出生的男婴可以收养,得赶紧决定;伦尼当场 put my foot down(坚决反对),说改天再谈可以,但要他现在就答,答案肯定是「不」。可孩子一抱进门,他立刻软了,说这孩子 light as a feather(轻得像羽毛),还认真许愿,要把自己手里那点「伟大」传给孩子;旁人只好让他 Get a grip on yourself(别失态)。接着两人为取名吵成一团,从埃里克、格劳乔、菲尼亚斯,一路试到姜戈、本、霍尔顿、肖恩、塞洛尼厄斯,最后落到简单的马克斯——偏偏马克斯的搭配也各有各的怪。想说「坚决反对」「别失态」,或形容「轻得像羽毛」,这些说法都能用。

省略关系从句:we can adopt 修饰前面的 baby,关系代词在口语中省略了。
- There's a baby we can adopt. - Are you serious?这里的“act quickly”在第1处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
- But we have to act quickly. - I don't want a kid.have to act 里 have to 弱成 hafta,act 才落重音。
- But we have to act quickly. - I don't want a kid.这里的“get into this with you”在第2处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
Amanda, I can't get into this with you now.盯着找、留意出现
阿曼达说已让卡罗琳 be on the lookout,婴儿当天就能领。
I told Carolyn to be on the lookout. She's experienced with adoptions.把脚踩死、不再让步
领养要立刻答复,伦尼结巴着说 I gotta put my foot down。
Le-- Look, I-- I gotta put my foot down.put 和 down 重读,突出坚决立场。
Le-- Look, I-- I gotta put my foot down.得;必须——非正式口语;正式表达用 have to。
Le-- Look, I-- I gotta put my foot down.轻得像羽毛
朋友抱着婴儿,说轻得要去买哑铃,he's really light as a feather。
I gotta run out and get some weights because he's really light as a feather.原因状语从句:because 从句说明出去买哑铃的原因,主句先说动作再补理由。
I gotta run out and get some weights because he's really light as a feather.light as 连读,t 在美音中可轻弹。
I gotta run out and get some weights because he's really light as a feather.抓住自己、别失态
有人把伟大传进婴儿身体,旁边立刻 Get a grip on yourself。
- Get a grip on yourself. - This kid is gonna be a great kid!a 弱读 /ə/,get 和 grip 承担重音。
- Get a grip on yourself. - This kid is gonna be a great kid!这里的“get real”在第7处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
- Groucho? Oh, get real. - No, I'm serious.这里的“What about Phineas”在第8处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
It's a great-- You know. I-- I don't know. What-- What about Phineas? Do you like Phineas?这里的“go with anything”在第9处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
It doesn't go with anything. Nothing goes with Weinrib.这里的“use your maiden name”在第10处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
You see, Holden is one of those things that works if we use your maiden name.条件状语从句:if 引出条件:只有改用婚前姓,Holden 这个名字才合适。
You see, Holden is one of those things that works if we use your maiden name.这里的“On the other hand”在第11处把具体动作、态度或关系说得更自然。
On the other hand, you wouldn't want a Supreme Court Justice called Shane.分词后置补语:called Shane 补充说明 Justice 的名字,wouldn't want 让评价更委婉。
On the other hand, you wouldn't want a Supreme Court Justice called Shane.the 弱读,整组连起来说得更自然。
On the other hand, you wouldn't want a Supreme Court Justice called Shane.If there's any greatness in my hands, let it pass into your body.如果我手里真有一点伟大,就让它传进你的身体吧。 把抱孩子的激动说成传递天赋,夸张又温柔。
On the other hand, you wouldn't want a Supreme Court Justice called Shane.不过,你总不会想让一位叫肖恩的最高法院大法官吧。 一本正经地把名字放进权威职位,反差制造冷幽默。
- Oh, wh-- what about Eric? - Eric? The kid's not a Viking.这孩子又不是维京人。 短促的冷面吐槽,把名字联想到历史人物,喜剧感很强。
It doesn't go with anything. Nothing goes with Weinrib.它跟什么都不搭。没有任何名字配得上温里布。 先否定一个搭配,再把它升级成对整个姓氏的判决,取名闹剧的荒诞全在这一句。
What, he's gonna be a-a-a gin rummy champion?怎么,他以后要当金拉米牌冠军吗? 用结巴的重复和一门冷门牌戏把普通名字嘲讽到底,越较真越好笑。
就是「坚决反对、不再让步」,表示态度强硬地定下来。戏里伦尼用它表明自己不想要这个孩子。
说 light as a feather,形容东西非常轻。戏里伦尼抱着新生儿,就用它形容这孩子轻飘飘的。
意思是「冷静点、别失态」,劝人控制住情绪。戏里伦尼激动得语无伦次,旁人就用它提醒他。
指「因房贷断供没收房子」,是很不讨喜的差事。戏里说 Phineas 这名字听着就像收房的人,所以不能用。
指「留意、盯着找」。戏里说让卡罗琳 be on the lookout,就是托她留意有没有可以收养的婴儿。
