The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two · 2020 — 第 7 / 20 章 · 4'37" · B1

晚宴上求留下过夜:whipped up

北极饭桌上,圣诞奶奶端出一桌菜,说这是自己 whipped up(临时现做)的,还保证能把讨厌的食物变得像最爱吃的。话锋一转,一句 Anything would be better than going home(怎样都比回家强)把心事说破;拗不过,圣诞老人只说 first thing in the morning(一早)就得回坎昆。想学撒娇和定规矩的说法,这段很暖。

发生了什么

这是《拯救圣诞记2》里北极晚饭的一段。圣诞奶奶把菜端上桌,说这是自己 whipped up(临时现做)的,还笑称 recipes that make all the food you hate look and taste like all the food you love(能把讨厌的食物变得像最爱吃的)。饭桌上,凯特直接撒娇,一句 Anything would be better than going home(怎样都比回家强)把心事说破;圣诞奶奶只回 More than you can ever imagine(你妈妈爱你超乎你想象),她却提起妈妈为了玛雅遗址 ditched me(甩下她)。最后两人一起央求,圣诞奶奶说 if only just for one night(哪怕只住一晚),圣诞老人同意,但强调 first thing in the morning(一早)就得回坎昆。想学饭桌闲聊、撒娇和讲条件,这些句子都很实用。

唉,我们不能让孩子空着肚子回家。 拒绝客套,也拒绝敷衍,只用一句生活常识撑起待客之道:饭要先吃。温柔就藏在这句看似普通的话里。

Recipes that make all the food you hate look and taste like all the food you love.

能让你讨厌的食物,看起来、吃起来都像你最爱吃的东西。 用一句看似玩笑的话讲清一件事:改变不在于强迫,而在于换个呈现方式。对比越夸张,道理越顺。

More than you can ever imagine.

比你能想象的还要爱。 不讲证据,只把爱的程度推到想象的边界之外。短短一句,是替不在场的母亲说话,也是在替孩子留一扇门。

In a few hours, this entire village will be nothing but a distant memory.

再过几个小时,这整座村子就只剩一个遥远的记忆。 威胁不说狠话,只给一个时间表:几小时后,一切变成回忆。nothing but 一压,画面就有了被抹去的凉意。

关于这一章的问题

on an empty stomach 是什么意思?

意思是「空着肚子」。戏里说 we can't send them home on an empty stomach,就是「总不能让他们空着肚子回家」,饭桌上常用。

whipped up 是什么意思?

意思是「飞快做好、随手做出」。戏里说 a little something I whipped up last minute,就是「刚临时随手做的一点东西」,说做菜很谦虚。

see the harm in something 怎么用?

意思是「看出有什么坏处」。戏里说 I don't see the harm in it,就是「我看不出这有什么不好」,常用来勉强同意某事。

「一早第一件事」英语怎么说?

first thing in the morning。戏里说 first thing in the morning, it's right back to Cancun,就是「一早第一件事就得回坎昆」,强调一早就做。

first thing in the morning 和 in the morning 有什么区别?

first thing in the morning 强调「一早,第一件事就做」。戏里用它给约定加期限:明早一睁眼就得回坎昆,比单说 in the morning 更有紧迫感。
