金句
这句话本身就很棒——棒在哪、怎么用“"Always try to see the best in people," he would say.”
「凡事尽量往好处看人。」他常这么说。
父亲的劝告被收成一句人生指令,干净、可带走,也给后文厌恶做对照。
Always try to see the best in someone.
劝人别先把别人往坏处想,或解释自己为何先留余地。
Give people the benefit of the doubt. / Don't assume the worst.
literary
best 和 people 加重,he would say 轻轻收。
“As a consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgments.”
于是,我习惯把所有判断先按下不表。
书面连接词加上克制动词,把教养说成一种性格,也预告底线会被打破。
As a consequence, I'm inclined to do something.
说明因为某条原则,自己倾向先观察、不下定论。
That's why I try not to judge too quickly. / I tend to hold back my opinions.
formal
consequence 后稍顿,inclined to 连读弱读。
“...the single most hopeful person I've ever met.”
……我遇见过最怀抱希望的那个人。
用 single most 把盖茨比抬到唯一,希望二字压过前面所有厌恶。
the single most + adj. + noun I've ever met
把某个人或事说成自己见过最突出的那一个。
the most hopeful person I've ever known / nobody else even comes close
literary
single most 连着加重,hopeful 拉长一点。
精彩独白
一个人撑起的一段戏,值得整段跟读In my younger and more vulnerable years... ...my father gave me some advice. "Always try to see the best in people," he would say. As a consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgments. But even I have a limit. Back then, all of us drank too much. The more in tune with the times we were... ...the more we drank. And none of us contributed anything new. When I came back from New York, I was disgusted.
在我更年轻、也更脆弱的那些年…… ……父亲给过我一句劝告。 「凡事尽量往好处看人。」他常这么说。 于是,我习惯把所有判断先按下不表。 可就连我也有底线。 那时候,我们一个个都喝得太凶。 我们越是紧跟那个时代…… ……就越喝得厉害。 而且谁也没贡献出任何新东西。 我从纽约回来时,心里只剩厌恶。
The parties were bigger. The shows... ...were broader. The buildings were higher. The morals were looser and the ban... ...on alcohol had backfired... ...making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious. And I was one of them.
派对更大了。 演出…… ……更铺张。 楼房更高了。 道德更松了,而那道禁令…… ……禁酒令适得其反…… ……酒反而更便宜了。 华尔街在引诱那些年轻又有野心的人。 而我也是其中之一。

常被搜到的问题
先看问题,再对照台词see the best in people 是什么意思
往好处看人。盖茨比开场里,尼克转述父亲的劝告:先别把别人往坏处想,所以他习惯 reserve all judgments。
reserve all judgments 怎么用
意思是先不下判断。尼克说因为父亲那句话,他倾向把评价都按下。书面、正式,日常也可说 I'm trying not to judge。
盖茨比开场尼克为什么厌恶纽约
那个夏天他们喝太多、赶时髦,却没贡献新东西。他从纽约回来,对所有人和事都恶心,只把盖茨比排除在外。
in tune with the times 怎么翻译
跟得上时代/合拍。尼克用来反讽:他们越时髦就越喝酒。不要理解成给乐器调音。
the single most hopeful person 指谁
指盖茨比。医生追问那个例外是谁,尼克说他是自己见过最怀抱希望的人,大概也不会再遇到第二个。
