The Proposal · 2009 — 第 14 / 14 章 · 2'52" · B1

追到办公室当场求婚:dawned on me

安德鲁一路从阿拉斯加跑进玛格丽特的办公室,气都没喘匀就急着开口。他坦白三天前还 loathe(恨透了)她,如今却能笑着说她当初 checked me out(偷看我)——话里全是藏不住的喜欢。想学一段又狠又软、兜着圈子表白的说法,这场戏值得反复听。

发生了什么

玛格丽特正要把办公室的箱子寄走、准备离开,安德鲁一路从阿拉斯加跑来,喘着气拦下她。他讲起这些天的变化:三天前还 loathe(恨透了)她,如今却记得她当初 checked me out(偷看她),还有一句 it dawned on me(恍然大悟),是他在谷仓里独自站着时冒出来的念头。他开口求婚,理由却只是 Because I'd like to date you(因为我想和你约会)。对方却回了一句 Trust me. You don't really want to be with me(相信我,你其实并不想和我在一起),说自己早就习惯一个人。想在告白、放手这类场合把话说得又真又有分寸,这几个说法都用得上。

Even when you checked me out when we were naked.
发音checked me

checked me 里 d 和 m 相接,d 几乎被吞掉,听起来像 chec-me。

Even when you checked me out when we were naked.
语法 · B2until I was standing alone

not ... until 结构:until 把醒悟的时刻推迟到独自站在谷仓里那一刻,前面所有的嘴硬都在这句里翻案。

that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country.

be about to 表即将:be about to 表示马上就要发生的坏事,把这段告白逼到一个必须立刻开口的截止线前。

that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country.
发音about to

about to 里的 t 闪音化,听起来像 abou-da,to 压得很轻。

that the woman I love is about to be kicked out of the country.
发音kicked out

kicked out:词尾 d 不单独出声,贴着 out 的元音滑过去,连成 kic-dout,好像只有一个词。

看懂「追到办公室当场求婚」

这一章能学到

  • 会用 about to 表达即将发生的事
  • 学会 dawn on me 表示突然意识到
  • 听懂 used to dream about 的旧习惯
  • 掌握 take a sec 的非正式说法
  • 用 the thing is 委婉引出理由

发音重点

  • checked me — checked me 里 d 和 m 相接,d 几乎被吞掉,听起来像 chec-me。
  • about to — about to 里的 t 闪音化,听起来像 abou-da,to 压得很轻。
  • kicked out — kicked out:词尾 d 不单独出声,贴着 out 的元音滑过去,连成 kic-dout,好像只有一个词。
Because I'd like to date you.

因为我想和你约会。 最高调的求婚之后,却用最轻的一句收尾:不是占有,是从约会开始。把承诺降级成起点,反而更像真心。

And I think it would just be a lot easier if we forgot everything that happened and I just left.

我觉得,如果我们忘掉发生过的一切,我就这么离开,会轻松得多。 把逃避说成理性的建议,用容易做幌子;越平静,越听得出她其实在救自己,也在推开对方。

Trust me. You don't really want to be with me.

相信我,你其实并不想和我在一起。 用一句替对方下结论的拒绝,把自卑包装成体贴;先推开,才敢确认对方会不会留下。

But I didn't realize any of this until I was standing alone in a barn, wifeless.

可我直到独自站在谷仓里、成了没有新娘的人,才意识到这一切。 把顿悟的时刻钉在一个具体的画面里:空谷仓、没有新娘;不是想通,是失去时才看见。

关于这一章的问题

dawned on me 是什么意思?

意思是「突然明白过来、恍然大悟」,常写成 it dawned on me that...。戏里有人在谷仓里独自站着时,才突然想通自己爱的是谁。

「极其厌恶、憎恨」英语怎么说?

loathe。比 hate 更重,是「恨透了」那种程度。戏里有人承认三天前还 loathe 对方,用来强调态度转变得有多彻底。

checked me out 是什么意思?

指「上下打量、偷看某人」,通常带点好感。戏里有人翻旧账,说对方当初就偷看过自己,语气又暧昧又好笑。

「嫁给我」英语怎么直接说?

Marry me。戏里有人兜了一大圈,最后抛出这两个词求婚,简单又正式,电影里常在关键时刻用。

Take a sec 是多久?

就是「一小会儿、耽误一下下」,比 take a minute 还短。戏里有人想拦住对方说话,用这句让对方给自己一点时间。
