劝振作与收留员工:get your act together

婚礼前一晚,有人把新郎叫住:明天就要娶她,得先 get your act together(把自己的事理顺),还教他 face up to(勇敢面对)最怕的那件事,因为 love is a choice(爱是一种选择)。另一边诺曼他们给查理一份全职工作,说要收留她,她刚点头就临盆了。想学劝导和家庭氛围的表达,这段又暖又笑。

发生了什么

婚礼前一晚,有人把新郎叫住:明天就要娶她,你得先 get your act together(把自己的事理顺),别把心事全压下去。她教他 face up to(勇敢面对)最害怕的那件事,说只要正视它,剩下的就容易了;还告诉他,因为 love is a choice(爱是一种选择),而她愿意成为他应得的那个妈妈。另一边诺曼他们跟查理谈过,决定给她一份全职工作,还说想「收养」她、让她和孩子住进家里的游戏室,因为 It takes a village(养大一个孩子要靠一群人)。查理刚点头,就突然临盆了。想学劝导、郑重的承诺和家庭戏的表达,这些说法都很动人。

短语 · B2get one's act together

振作起来;把自己的事理顺

谢恩的妈妈提醒奥利弗明天就要结婚,必须在这之前把心里的乱摊子整理好,别再靠吃喝压情绪。

tomorrow, you are going to marry her, and you need to get your act together before then
发音get your act together

get your act together 里 get your 常挤成 ge-chur,your 的元音几乎被吞掉,说得很快。

tomorrow, you are going to marry her, and you need to get your act together before then

把情绪全压下去

instead of pushing it all down with shellfish and pinot noir.

从做……开始

Well, you begin by doing the thing that scares you the most.
短语 · B1scare someone

最让你害怕

Well, you begin by doing the thing that scares you the most.
语法 · B2you begin by doing the thing that scares you the most

that 引导的定语从句:that 从句限定 the thing,指出要做的正是最让你害怕的那件事。begin by doing 先给出方法,再用从句把对象锁定,句子像一条可执行的指令,把抽象的勇气落到具体动作上。

Well, you begin by doing the thing that scares you the most.
短语 · B2face up to something

正视;勇敢面对(困难或恐惧)

婚礼前夜,肖恩的母亲劝奥利弗别再逃避,先从最让自己害怕的那件事开始处理。

All you have to do is face up to the scary, and the rest is easy.
短语 · B1the rest is easy

剩下的就简单了

All you have to do is face up to the scary, and the rest is easy.
发音face up to

face up to 里 face 的 s 和 up 连读,像 fay-sup to,三个词连成一股。

All you have to do is face up to the scary, and the rest is easy.
短语 · B1do something alone

独自去做

But you don't have to do it alone.
短语 · B2something is a choice

爱是一种选择

Because love is a choice...
语法 · B1Because love is a choice

because 原因状语从句:because 引出理由,为后面那句你是我想做的选择作铺垫。它把爱从一种感觉重新定义成一种决定,逻辑上先立前提,再说结论,听的人自然被带着走。

Because love is a choice...
短语 · B2a choice someone wants to make

我心甘情愿做的选择

and you're a choice I want to make.

Norman and I have talked it over,
发音talked it over

talked it over 里 talked 的尾音和 it 连读,像 talk-dit over,中间不要断开。

Norman and I have talked it over,
语法 · B2What if you had a job and a home and a family

what if 假设句:what if 后接过去式 had,提出一个反事实的假设:假如你同时有工作、有家、还有家人。它不是质问,而是邀请对方想象另一种可能,把拒绝的理由一个个拆掉。

What if you had a job and a home and a family
短语 · A2help someone do something

that would love to help you raise your little...

看懂「劝振作与收留员工」

发音重点

  • get your act together — get your act together 里 get your 常挤成 ge-chur,your 的元音几乎被吞掉,说得很快。
  • face up to — face up to 里 face 的 s 和 up 连读,像 fay-sup to,三个词连成一股。
  • talked it over — talked it over 里 talked 的尾音和 it 连读,像 talk-dit over,中间不要断开。
and you're a choice I want to make.

而你是我心甘情愿做出的那个选择。 把爱从被动的心动改写成主动的选择,一句话就把承诺的分量加满。choice 和 make 搭配,强调的是愿意承担,而不是被命运推着走,温柔里带着清醒。

Because love is a choice...

因为爱是一种选择…… 短短六个词,把爱的定义整个翻过来。它不描述感觉,而是给出一句可以拿去做人生原则的判断,省略号又留出空间,让听的人自己往下接。

Well, you begin by doing the thing that scares you the most.

那就从做那件最让你害怕的事开始。 不给安慰,只给方法:从最怕的那件开始。begin by 把巨大的困难拆成第一个动作,句子里没有大词,却是一句能立刻用上的忠告。

All you have to do is face up to the scary, and the rest is easy.

你只要正视那份可怕,剩下的就简单了。 先把恐惧单独拎出来当对手,再轻描淡写地打发剩下的部分。all you have to do 和 the rest is easy 一松一紧,把难事说成可拆解的步骤,给人可执行的希望。

关于这一章的问题

get your act together 是什么意思?

意思是「振作起来、把自己的事理顺」。戏里婚礼前夜用它劝新郎别再逃,赶紧把状态调整好。

face up to 是什么意思?

意思是「正视、勇敢面对」。戏里说 face up to the scary,就是「勇敢面对最怕的那件事」,和 run away 正好相反。

It takes a village 是什么意思?

意思是「养大一个孩子要靠一群人」,强调带孩子需要一家子帮衬。戏里用它劝说查理接受大家的帮助。

「振作起来」英语怎么说?

get your act together。想催人别颓下去、赶紧理清状态,这句最干脆。

大家为什么想收留查理?

他们给她一份全职工作,又提出把家里的游戏室改成公寓让她免费住,还说孩子需要一大家人一起带大。
