The side effects are supposed to wear off eventually.副作用
The side effects are supposed to wear off eventually.Well, if you mess up a spell, there are consequences.咒语要是搞砸了,是有后果的。 把「犯错要负责」说得不带责备:后果不是惩罚,而是事情本身的规律。适合解释规则而非训人。
The side effects are supposed to wear off eventually.副作用按理说过一阵子就会消退。 用 are supposed to 留了余地:按道理会好,但不保证。这句教人怎么在不确定中给出安慰。
Don't let the magic spook you.别让这魔法把你吓住。 把「魔法」换成任何让人发怵的新事物都成立:真正拦路的不是它,是你被吓退的那一下。
While you cast the spell, you can't let anything distract you.施法的时候,你不能让任何东西分你的心。 把专注说成施法的前提,也能顺手拿去讲任何需要专心的事。
意思是「(效果、药效)逐渐消退」。指某个作用随着时间自己慢慢减弱、消失,比如药效、副作用、兴奋劲都会 wear off。
it's hard to tell。tell 在这里是「分辨、判断」,整句意思是「不好说、看不出来」,常用来回答还没法确定的事。
heart's fire。字面是「心底的那团火」,指人做事时那股真心的热情和冲劲;片里念咒语要从心之火发声,就是这个意思。
有点随意、带吐槽意味,意思是「破烂货、废品」,多用来嫌弃旧车、旧电器。熟人之间说往往是在开玩笑。
there are consequences。consequence 是「后果」,通常指做错事之后要承担的代价。想提醒别人别乱来,就可以用这句。
