对……的看法
What are your thoughts on ballooning over Stockholm?Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Vows We Have Made · 2021 — 第 17 / 18 章 · 3'26" · B2
伦敦邮件博物馆里,奥利弗忽然被 Robin Walker's letter(罗宾·沃克的信)唤醒,非要面对心里那件事:他怕 forever(永远)is a promise not everyone can keep(不是人人都能守住的承诺)。直到对方点破心结,他才说出 I will never leave you(我永远不会离开你)。想学怎么接住一个人的恐惧,这段很戳。
这是《Signed, Sealed, Delivered》里奥利弗与谢恩的一场深谈。他从小就想送信,长大后却发现 I couldn't restore(我补不回来)失去的那些:妈妈走了,妻子也走了,于是他害怕 forever(永远)is a promise not everyone can keep(不是人人都能守住的承诺)。这份恐惧 I can't get it out of my head(一直赶不出脑子)。对方一条条接住:somewhere along the line(不知从什么时候起),you started believing that all that leaving had something to do with you(你开始相信那些离开跟你有关)——其实他们走,not because they figured out who you are, but because they had no clue who they were(不是看透了你是谁,而是没搞懂自己是谁)。最后一句是 I always will, and I will never leave you(我会永远爱你,永远不会离开你)。

get it out of my headsomewhere along the lineno cluefigure out
本章短语
把这念头从脑子里赶出去;挥之不去

在某个环节上;不知从什么时候起
完全不知道;一点头绪都没有
弄明白;想清楚;看透
47 句台词里标了 28 处
对……的看法
What are your thoughts on ballooning over Stockholm?我内心的某种东西
something in me I realize I now must face.必须面对
something in me I realize I now must face.我小时候
When I was little...送信;投递邮件
I wanted to deliver mail.作为男人;长大成人后
As a man, I had to.把东西还给陌生人
return to strangers what was lost.what 引导的宾语从句:what was lost 是 return 的宾语,意思是把丢失的东西还回去,to strangers 又插在中间说明还给谁。宾语从句前置让句子有分量,也把这份职业说成一种归还失物的使命。
return to strangers what was lost.我失去的东西
that what I'd lost...无法复原;挽回不了
I couldn't restore.还要多久才会……
How long will it be before you--it be before 里 it 和 be 连读,像 i-be before,三个词顺成一串。
How long will it be before you--把这念头从脑子里赶出去;挥之不去
奥利弗说他没法把永远这个念头赶出脑子,担心那是一个不是人人都能守住的承诺。
I can't get it out of my head that "forever"...不是人人都能守住
is a promise not everyone can keep, especially to me.在某个环节上;不知从什么时候起
谢恩说奥利弗一定是在某个阶段开始相信,那些离开都和他自己有关。
I'm afraid that somewhere along the line,和……有关系
you started believing that all that leaving had something to do with you.that 引导的宾语从句:started believing 后面接 that 从句,说出对方一直以来的误解:把所有离开都归到自己身上。all that leaving 把反复发生的事打包,再用 had something to do with 接住,语气平缓却直指要害。
you started believing that all that leaving had something to do with you.had something 里 had 末尾的 d 常被吞掉,两个词直接搭上,听感接近 ha-something。
you started believing that all that leaving had something to do with you.看透某人;搞懂某人
not because they figured out who you are,figured out 里 figured 的尾音和 out 连读,像 figure-dout,两个词几乎粘在一起。
not because they figured out who you are,完全不知道;一点头绪都没有
肖恩安慰奥利弗,母亲和妻子离开并不是因为他不好,而是她们自己根本不知道想要什么。
but because they had no clue who they were.我是谁
I know who I am, Oliver.我爱过的那个男人
You are the man that I have loved, and worked with,和某人一起哭
and cried with, and fought with, and prayed with,依然爱你
And I still love you.永远都会
I always will, and I will never leave you.助动词省略:I always will 后面省略了前面那个动词短语,只留助动词,避免重复,也让节奏更干脆。下一句再把 never leave you 完整说出来,一短一长,承诺像钉子一样被敲了两遍。
I always will, and I will never leave you.永远不会离开你
I will never leave you.I always will, and I will never leave you.我永远都会,而且我永远不会离开你。 把最重的承诺拆成短句,一短一长地重复,像在一遍遍确认。它不解释理由,也不要求回应,只是把立场钉死,力量全在重复里。
but because they had no clue who they were.而是因为他们根本不知道自己是谁。 把别人的离开从对你的否定,翻转成他们自己的迷失。这句话不安慰,而是重新分配责任,让被留下的人第一次松开自责。
is a promise not everyone can keep, especially to me.是一个不是人人都能守住的承诺,尤其对我。 把永远从一句浪漫的话还原成一个概率问题,especially to me 又轻轻补上私人的伤口。它不哭诉,只是冷静地陈述,反而让听的人替他心疼。
you started believing that all that leaving had something to do with you.你开始相信,那些离开都和你有关。 用 all that leaving 把一次次离别打包成一个阴影,再说它如何被误读成自己的过错。句子不责备,只描述误解的形成,清醒又体谅。
意思是「把这念头从脑子里赶出去、挥之不去」。台词里 I can't get it out of my head that "forever"... 就是「我没办法不想起『永远』这件事」,说那种赶不走的念头。
somewhere along the line。台词里 somewhere along the line, you started believing... 就是「不知从什么时候起,你开始相信……」,说一件慢慢形成、说不清起点的事。
意思是「一点头绪都没有、完全不知道」。台词里他们走,是因为 they had no clue who they were,就是「他们根本没搞懂自己是谁」,不是看透了你是谁。
figure out 是「弄明白、看透」,no clue 是「完全不知道」。台词里说别人离开,not because they figured out who you are, but because they had no clue who they were,一正一反,对比很强。
not everyone can keep。台词里说「永远」is a promise not everyone can keep(不是人人都能守住的承诺),keep a promise 就是「守住承诺」,把 promise 换成别的名词也能用。
