“Up. Straight up. That was the only way open, so he went that way.”
往上。一直往上。那是唯一敞着的路,他就往那边去了。
短句一顿一顿,把退路的消失说成一种宿命。
That was the only way ..., so ... went that way.
讲一个别无选择的处境时用;正式叙述里显得太短促、太口语。
There was no other way, so he took it. / The only way out was up, and up he went.

Up 和 straight up 分开顿,两个 that 轻读。
