合我意;适合我
Yes, it suits me.The Great Gatsby · 2013 — 第 8 / 18 章 · 6'44" · B2
尼克的小屋里,盖茨比和黛西多年后第一次单独见面,紧张到打翻了座钟,场面一度只能用 This was a mistake(这是个错误)来收场,他还被数落 acting like a little boy(闹小孩子脾气)。英文里形容重逢时的手足无措,这两句最传神。
尼克的小屋里,盖茨比和黛西多年后第一次单独见面。两人尴尬到极点,其中一位失手打翻座钟,只挤出一句 We've met before(我们以前见过);事后他懊恼地说 This was a mistake(这是个错误),又被人数落 acting like a little boy(闹小孩子脾气)。雨停之后气氛才缓和,他邀请两人去自己家 I'd like to show her around(带她四处看看)。这场戏是一堂「重逢与救场」的实用课:聊到过去说 We've met before,搞砸了说 This was a mistake,请人上门说 come over to my house,都能直接搬进日常。

尼克在旁白里回顾自己的夏天,用这句话把叙述推进到茶会这一幕。
Looking over my story so far...第二次
...I'm reminded that for the second time that summer...替别人守着秘密
尼克在旁白里总结那个夏天第二次替人守秘密的处境。
...I was guarding other people's secrets.过去进行时:was guarding 用过去进行时,表示那个夏天一直在持续的状态。尼克又一次把自己说成秘密的保管人,而不是当事人。
...I was guarding other people's secrets.雨停了
It's stopped raining.同样的景色
I have the same view from my place.到……来;来串门
...I want you and Daisy to come over to my house. I'd like to show her around.带她四处看看
...I want you and Daisy to come over to my house. I'd like to show her around.want 加不定式:want 后面先接人,再用不定式接希望对方做的事,中间用 and 把两个人并列。盖茨比想借这句把场面从尴尬里拉出来。
...I want you and Daisy to come over to my house. I'd like to show her around.This was a mistake. This was a terrible, terrible mistake.这是个错误。这是个糟糕透顶的错误。 重复一次 terrible,把理智崩塌的过程直接演出来:先说结论,再给结论加码,听得出他自己都不信能挽回。
I'm certainly glad to see you again.再见到你,我真的非常高兴。 多年重逢时最体面的一句开场,越简单越压得住翻涌的心事;礼貌在这里既是铠甲也是距离。
...I was guarding other people's secrets.……我在替别人守着秘密。 把自己的一生概括成「替人守秘密」,一句话交代了旁观者的全部代价:知道得最多,却永远不能开口。
...I want you and Daisy to come over to my house. I'd like to show her around.……我想请你和黛西到我家去。我想带她四处看看。 在刚刚承认搞砸之后,他立刻又开始规划下一步;一句邀请把不认输的性格写得清清楚楚。
意思是「到目前为止、至今」。台词里回望自己讲到这里的故事,用 so far 把叙事按到现在这一刻,写作、汇报里都很常用。
说 acting like a little boy,直译是「表现得像个小男孩」。用来数落成年人闹情绪、不讲道理,语气半嗔半怪。
ransack 强调翻得乱七八糟、连东西都掀翻,带着狼藉的画面;search 只是找。台词里用 ransack 形容满屋子花,夸张又好笑。
可以直接说 This was a mistake;想加重语气就说 a terrible, terrible mistake,重复 terrible 把懊悔拉满。
说 show someone around,如 I'd like to show her around(我想带她四处看看)。参观房子、校园、新城市都能用。
