有幸拥有某人
But we're lucky to have him.The Proposal · 2009 — 第 8 / 14 章 · 5'15" · B1
阿拉斯加的家里办起聚会,请来岛上唯一的舞者拉蒙上台表演,长辈们看得起劲,还硬把玛格丽特推上去。舞者一句 Work it(秀起来)是给表演者打气,散场后有人问她 How are you holding up(撑得住吗)。被长辈热情围住、当众起哄,这几句都用得上。
玛格丽特跟着安德鲁回阿拉斯加,家里正办着一场热闹聚会。众人请来岛上唯一的舞者拉蒙登台,起哄声里把玛格丽特也推了上去,场面一度失控。散场后,一个从小认识安德鲁的人在门廊上跟她聊起往事,用 called it off(取消了婚约)说起当年那段感情,又从 How are you holding up(撑得住吗)问起她的状态,还有 overwhelming(让人招架不住)形容这一大家子。想聊聊旧情、关心别人近况、吐槽被家里长辈包围,这几句日常都用得到。

有幸拥有某人
But we're lucky to have him.她将会错过什么
Show her what she's gonna be missing.一番好意、一个贴心举动
It's a really nice gesture, but I really need to just...宁可把眼睛抠出来也不想看
OK, pluck my eyes out. OK.我没见过的某个动作
Ooh, that's a move I haven't seen.撑得住吗、还扛得住吗
玛格丽特刚被拉上舞台跟脱衣舞者尬舞,格特端着酒走过来,用「你还好吗」接住这场让所有人都看着的难堪。
Hey. There you are. How are you holding up?努力晒黑
Oh, fine. Fine. Just working on my tan.有点让人招架不住
Yeah, the Paxtons can be a bit overwhelming at times.状语短语:用两个时间短语把整段青春圈起来,说明这不是一时冲动,而是整整好几年的感情。
Well, I mean, we dated in high school and all through college, but we were kids.but 引出的让步补充:but 一转,把前面的认真全部加上一个年龄的注脚:我们当时还只是孩子。
Well, I mean, we dated in high school and all through college, but we were kids.取消了、中止了(婚约或计划)
旧爱格特在舞会上问玛格丽特,当年她和安德鲁为什么要分手;玛格丽特含糊其辞,格特便用 call it off 追问这段关系是怎么收场的。
And you guys called it off because of?called it 里 d 和 it 相接,d 几乎被吞掉,听起来像 call-dit。
And you guys called it off because of?想私奔
The night before we graduated school, he proposed and said he wanted to elope.时间状语从句:the night before 先定下时间,再引出那晚发生的事,把求婚放进一个具体到让人心痛的时刻里。
The night before we graduated school, he proposed and said he wanted to elope.逃到某个地方去
And run away to New York with me.run 的 n 不闭紧,直接搭上 away 的起始元音,常连成 /rʌnəˈweɪ/,重心落到后面的 way。
And run away to New York with me.幸运的姑娘
But anyway, you're a lucky girl.敬你们一杯
Well, cheers to you guys.to 常弱化为 /tə/,you 顺势缩成 /jə/,嘴几乎不张,两个音节并作一拍的 tə-jə。
Well, cheers to you guys.收尾、结束
Looks like Ramone's wrappin' it up.别去打扰他
Something's up. It's best to leave him alone.I've never been anywhere but here. This is home.我从没去过别的地方,这里就是我的家。 把拒绝私奔的理由说得毫无悲情:不是不爱,而是她的世界只有这里。一句平静的自我定位,比任何挽留都更让人无言。
The night before we graduated school, he proposed and said he wanted to elope.毕业前一晚,他向我求婚,说想和我私奔。 用最普通的时间状语讲出改变一生的那一刻;求婚、私奔、毕业前一晚全都压在一句话里,遗憾自己会浮上来。
No. That was always Andrew's dream, not mine.那一直是安德鲁的梦想,不是我的。 不解释、不辩白,只用 not mine 划清界限;一句话既交代了旧情破裂的原因,也替自己这些年的选择做了注解。
Something's up. It's best to leave him alone.出事了,最好别去打扰他。 两个短句先判断、再给建议,把在场所有人的好奇心按下去;一句 leave him alone 是对失控局面最有效的处理。
指「取消了、中止了」,常用来说婚约或计划告吹。两人本来决定结婚,最后没结成,就可以说 They called it off。
问别人「撑得住吗、还好吗」,常用来关心对方在压力下的状态。How are you holding up 比 How are you 更具体,对方会懂你在问他扛不扛得住。
说 overwhelming,形容人或场面太热烈、太多太满,让人应接不暇。可以说 The family can be a bit overwhelming。
用 Work it,看表演或跳舞时喊这句,就是给对方打气、让他放开跳。朋友上台表演,你也可以喊 Work it。
她想躲开热闹找点清净,恰好有人过来搭话。两人从安德鲁聊到往事,也让她第一次听到别人眼里那个年轻时的安德鲁。
