Mighty Aphrodite · 1995 — 第 11 / 15 章 · 1'41" · B2

道谢后宣告重新开始：gave up on you

琳达来给伦尼道谢，送了他一条超亮的领带，因为她退出了那行。她聊起照片上那个可爱的小孩，说自己想 start over（从头再来）：有一栋房子、找个爱她的人。伦尼说会帮她留意，但强调那得跟她一样聪明，还补上 And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you.（别担心，伦，我已经放弃你了）。

发生了什么

琳达上门道谢，送了伦尼一条亮得夸张的领带，谢他帮忙修好了她和里基的关系。她坦白，照片里伦尼的孩子让她一直 out of my mind（忘不掉），她觉得自己会是个好妈妈，想 start over（从头再来）：有栋房子，找个爱她、照顾她、尊重她的人。伦尼答应了 keep my eye open（帮她留意），还说她总能找到和自己相当的人。琳达又补上：那人得跟她一样聪明；然后说 And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you.（别担心，伦，我已经放弃你了）。她还开玩笑说，就她这年纪，要是跟伦尼好上，得先给她接复苏器。想学「从头再来」「不再抱希望」这些说法，这段又温柔又好笑。

语法 · B2If the occasion demanded

假设条件句：用过去式demanded表示假设场合，不是过去时间。

俚语 · B1guy

男人、家伙——非正式口语，熟人聊天常用

短语 · A2take care of me

照顾我、把我当回事

她列条件：Somebody who'll take care of me and respect me。

Somebody who'll take care of me and respect me.
发音take care of

of 弱化为轻 /əv/，紧贴 care 后收住，重心放在 take care 上。

Somebody who'll take care of me and respect me.

The only thing is, Len, he'd have to be as smart as me.
语法 · B2he'd have to be as smart as me

情态结构：he'd have to表示在假设中必须满足的条件。

The only thing is, Len, he'd have to be as smart as me.
发音as smart as

smart是核心重音，两边as轻读。

The only thing is, Len, he'd have to be as smart as me.
短语 · B1gave up on you

对你不再抱希望

她先要一个 equally smart 的人，再补 And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you。

And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you.
语法 · B2if I made love with you

虚拟条件句：if从句用过去式，表达对假设情境的夸张想象。

Let me tell you, at my age, if I made love with you, they would have to put me on a resuscitator.
发音they would have

would、have都弱读，重心落在resuscitator。

Let me tell you, at my age, if I made love with you, they would have to put me on a resuscitator.

看懂「道谢后宣告重新开始」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用start over表达重新开始
  • 听懂take care of someone的照顾含义
  • 掌握give up on在关系语境里的语气
  • 理解as smart as me的比较结构
  • 听懂关键短语在本场的真实语气

发音重点

  • Would you ever — would you常连成/wʊdʒə/，语流更快。
  • would like to — would和to弱读，like保持重音。
  • take care of — of 弱化为轻 /əv/，紧贴 care 后收住，重心放在 take care 上。
  • as smart as — smart是核心重音，两边as轻读。
I would like to start over again. Maybe have a house. That would be nice.

我想重新开始。也许拥有一栋房子。那一定很美好。 start over把重新开始说得直接，短句停顿又透出试探。

The only thing is, Len, he'd have to be as smart as me.

唯一的问题是，伦，他得跟我一样聪明。 The only thing is先缓冲转折，再用自信的标准挑选伴侣。

Let me tell you, at my age, if I made love with you, they would have to put me on a resuscitator.

我告诉你吧，就我这把年纪，要是跟你做爱，他们非得给我接上复苏器不可。 把年龄和亲密关系夸张地接上复苏器，冷面笑话收尾。

And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you.

别担心，伦。我已经放弃你了。 用 don't worry 开头，接的却是最不留情的结论，安慰和打击同时到达。

I couldn't get your son's picture out of my mind.

我一直忘不了你儿子的照片。 用 couldn't get ... out of my mind 把牵挂说得克制，一句话把领养的秘密引到台前。

关于这一章的问题

start over 是什么意思？

指「从头再来、重新开始」。戏里琳达说想 start over，指的是换一种活法：有房子、有爱她的人。

「不再抱希望、彻底死心」英语怎么说？

可以说 gave up on someone。戏里琳达对伦尼说 And don't worry, Len. I gave up on you. 就是「别担心，我已经放弃你了」。

out of my mind 怎么理解？

get something out of my mind 指「把某件事从脑子里赶走」。戏里琳达说忘不掉伦尼孩子的照片，用的就是这个词。

keep my eye open 是什么意思？

指「帮你留意、帮你物色」，字面像「眼睛睁着」。戏里伦尼答应帮琳达留意合适的男人。

fixing things up 怎么用？

指「把闹僵的关系修好」。戏里琳达送领带，就是谢伦尼帮她和里基 fixing things up。
