这场戏：离婚后一头扎进岩壁
第 9 章 · 共 24 章 · 4'55"
贝丝离开后，汤米整个人都垮了，他开车到优胜美地山谷望着酋长岩，觉得 El Cap was all I had（酋长岩是我仅剩的一切）。于是他 throw yourself into（一头扎进）一面没人爬过的岩壁，用极限的挑战把心痛挤出去。想学怎么形容「拿一件事麻痹自己」，这两句很准。
「酋长岩是我仅剩的一切」：all I had

❝ 独白 · 5 句 吊帐里的自怜
从风暴到哭泣到寻找不存在的东西，五句把孤独堆到顶点。
在吉尔吉斯斯坦事件后，贝丝和汤米之间生出一种依赖，可那不是真爱；后来她对另一个人动了心，离婚办完，汤米说自己整个人都被击垮了。他开车到优胜美地山谷的崖边望着酋长岩，觉得 El Cap was all I had（酋长岩是我仅剩的一切）。为了不被痛苦压住，他决定 throw yourself into（一头扎进）那块从没人爬过的黎明墙，用高强度搜索路线 absorb yourself in（全身心投入）到里面，好让自己 feel sorry for myself（顾影自怜）的时间越少越好。一个不可能的挑战，反而成了他活下去的方式。

下一章 · 10pull for someone为某人加油这场戏：带病攀上第十段意思是「一头扎进、全力投入」某件事，常用来形容用工作、爱好来填满自己。片里说心碎了就把自己扔进一面爬不上的墙，就是这个用法。
all I had。all 是「全部」，I had 是「我拥有的」，合起来就是「我仅剩的一切」，语气很重，适合写孤独或失落。
意思是「顾影自怜、自怨自艾」，指一个人沉浸在自怜里。片里说夜里在吊帐中哭着 feeling sorry for myself，就是又难过又心疼自己。
absorb yourself in。absorb 是「吸收」，absorb yourself in something 就是把身心都浸进去，和 be absorbed in 意思相近。
way too hard。way 在这里不是「路」，而是加强语气，等于「太……了、……得过分」，way too hard 就是「难太多了」。
