这场戏：盼来的却不是上校
第 27 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'32"
布兰登送来一架小琴和一封信，说 I shall follow in a day or two（我一两天内就到），还让她们先练会附上的曲子。母女几个正猜来客是谁，玛丽安说 It is not just for me（这不只是为我）；门一响，有人笃定 It must be（一定是他），结果来的是爱德华。想学旧式书信腔和「猜错了」的悬念，这段很妙。
「不只是为我」：not just for me（不只是为某人）
in a day or two 一两天内、不日devoted friend 忠实的朋友（信末落款）not just for me 不只是为某人
全场屏息：Not a word（一个字都别说）
must be 一定是（表推测）Not a word 一个字都别说Come this way 这边请
巴顿乡舍收到布兰登送来的一架小琴，还有一封信，说这琴 fit the parlour（正好放进客厅），他 in a day or two（一两天内）就到，希望她们先把随信附上的曲子弹熟；母亲吩咐 Fetch some tea（去端些茶来）。母女几个围着琴又惊又喜，玛丽安说 It is not just for me（这不只是为我）。正说着有客来访，有人猜是上校，有人摇头：I don't think it is the colonel（我觉得不是上校）；那位却坚持 It must be（一定是他）。母亲回头叮嘱大家 Not a word（一个字都别说）——原来来的是爱德华。想学旧式来信、窃窃私语和悬念铺垫，这段很典型。

“It is not just for me. It is for all of us.”
这不只是为我。这是给我们大家的。
先推开独享，再把礼物还给全家，一句就把姐妹情说圆了。
It is not just for ..., it is for ...
收到只写自己名字的好处、想拉上同伴一起分享时用；别用来推卸本属于自己的责任。
It isn't only for me; it's for everyone. ／ This isn't just mine, it belongs to all of us.
中性
not just 和 all of us 各重读一次。
The bonus is not just for me; it is for the whole team. 这笔奖金不只是给我的，是给整个团队的。
“He must like you very much.”
他一定很喜欢你。
一句话点破送礼的分量，把猜测说得像笃定的判断。
He must ... very much.
看出别人有心思、又不想把话说死时用；正式汇报里别用这么随意的推测。
He surely likes you a great deal. ／ He has to be very fond of you.
中性
must 重读，very much 收在低处。
She must like you very much to lend you her car. 她肯把车借给你，一定是很喜欢你。
“I don't think it is the colonel.”
我觉得不是上校。
把众人的期待轻轻按下去，给真正的来客留了个悬念。
I don't think it is ...
不太确定、又想否定别人猜测时用；对上级否定要加一句理由。
I doubt it is the colonel. ／ It doesn't look like the colonel to me.
中性
don't think 连读，the colonel 轻读。
I don't think it is the postman; he never comes this late. 我觉得不是邮差，他从没这么晚来过。
“It must be. He said he would arrive today. You must play your new song.”
一定是他。他说过今天会到。你得弹你那首新曲子。
三句话从推断到催促，把一场精心准备的见面推到了门口。
It must be. He said he would ...
凭线索下结论、顺手安排下一步时用；连着下命令只适合对平辈或晚辈。
It has to be him; he promised to come today. ／ That will be him. He said today.
中性
must be 重读，最后一句放慢催人。
It must be them. They said they would arrive by noon. 一定是他们，他们说过中午前到。
“Calm. We must be calm.”
镇定。我们得镇定。
越是喊镇定越显得慌，一句自相矛盾的话最见人心。
We must be ...
临到要紧关头给自己和同伴打气时用；对惊慌的人别只说这句，要给具体动作。
Steady. We have to steady ourselves. ／ Keep calm. We need to stay calm.
中性
Calm 短促，We must be calm 才放平。
Breathe. We must be calm before the interview. 深呼吸，面试前我们得镇定。
“What a pleasure to see you.”
见到你真高兴。
把一场慌乱收进一句得体的欢迎，礼数一点没乱。
What a pleasure to ...
正式迎接客人、说客套话时用；见老朋友这样说会显得生分。
How lovely to see you. ／ What a joy it is to have you here.
正式
What a 连读，pleasure 重读，句尾放松。
What a pleasure to meet your family at last. 终于见到你的家人，真高兴。
指「一个字都别说」，让人严格保密或别出声。戏里爱德华忽然登门，母亲就叮嘱大家 Not a word。
说 in a day or two。戏里布兰登在信里说自己 in a day or two 就到，让她们先把曲子弹熟。

指「正好装得下、大小合适」。戏里布兰登说那琴 small enough to fit the parlour，就是「够小，正好放进客厅」。
指「这边请、跟我来」，是给客人引路的客气话。戏里管家对爱德华说 Come this way，就是请他这边走。
