The Trip · 2011 — 第 14 / 20 章 · 6'12" · B2

车里抄小路闲扯:don't come running to me

车窗起了雾,有人报一长串小路,非要避开 A roads(英国的主要公路干道)。有人说 The thing about sat nav is(导航这东西的问题在于),旁边还有一句 don't come running to me(别跑来找我)。这句字面是别跑过来,其实是出了事别来烦我。约伴自驾、有人只管尽兴不肯善后,就用这句。

发生了什么

两个人坐在起雾的车里,有人想避开主干道,嘴里报着一长串小路。导航不受待见,有人用 the thing about ... is(关于……的问题是)起了个头,专门把一件东西的毛病摊开讲。有人念山泉,有人说自己在山里闲逛,也有人提古时候的骑士。语气要留余地时,有一句 in a manner of speaking(可以这么说),意思接近算是吧。最有画面的是 don't come running to me(别跑来找我):若是摔断了腿,别跑来找我。字面是叫你别跑,意思是出了事别来烦我。自驾出门、有人讲个不停的时候,这三句能用上。指出毛病、把话说软、提前把责任划开,都比干巴巴的抱怨好听。

本章全部批注

104 句台词里标了 28 处

短语 · B1if you ever want to do something

如果你想的话(随时的邀请)

I can... you know, if you ever want to see the Bronte sisters' house, it's not so far.
短语 · A2not so far

不算太远

I can... you know, if you ever want to see the Bronte sisters' house, it's not so far.
短语 · A2take someone there

带你去那儿

If you want to go visit, I'll take you there.
短语 · B1as you get older

随着年纪增长

Have you noticed as you get older, older women seem more attractive to you?
语法 · B1older women seem more attractive to you

比较级描述程度变化:用比较级说明随着年龄变化,某类人显得比过去更有吸引力。这里把「越老越觉得年长的女性好看」这个尴尬又真实的观察说得像一条规律,语气一本正经,反而显得好笑。

Have you noticed as you get older, older women seem more attractive to you?
短语 · B1in general

总的来说、泛指

Women in general.
短语 · B1A roads

英国的主要公路干道

罗布在车里报出一长串地名和路号,说要避开主干道,专走乡间小路一路往山里开。

I thought we'd try and avoid the A roads, right, and go up the B6255 to Hawes, right, and then cut down through Oughtershaw, Yockenthwaite, Buckden, down the B6160 through Kettlewell, then the B6265 through Grassington to Pateley Bridge, then up to Ramsgill from there, right?
短语 · B1cut down through somewhere

一路穿过、抄近路穿过去

I thought we'd try and avoid the A roads, right, and go up the B6255 to Hawes, right, and then cut down through Oughtershaw, Yockenthwaite, Buckden, down the B6160 through Kettlewell, then the B6265 through Grassington to Pateley Bridge, then up to Ramsgill from there, right?
俚语 · B1sat nav

车载导航——sat nav 是英式口语对车载导航的简称,日常聊天里很常用,语气随意。它偏口语,写正式文件或面对美式语境时一般要换成更正式的说法,免得对方一时反应不过来。

Can we use the sat nav tomorrow?
短语 · B2the thing about something is

导航这东西的问题在于……

The thing about sat nav is, you don't where you're...
短语 · B1the quickest way

最快的路线

Yeah, but it gets you there the quickest way.
发音gets you there

gets you there 连读时 gets 末尾的音滑向 you,you 又弱读,听起来像 get-shə-there,三个词连成一串。

Yeah, but it gets you there the quickest way.
短语 · B2a knight of old

古时候的骑士

I'm like a knight, a knight of old, wandering the land...
短语 · B2in a manner of speaking

可以这么说、算是吧

同伴把罗布比作堂吉诃德,问他是不是那个意思,罗布用这句话半推半就地认了下来。

In a manner of speaking.
发音manner of speaking

manner of speaking 连读时 manner 末尾的音接上 of,of 弱读得几乎听不见,听起来像 man-nə-speaking。

In a manner of speaking.
短语 · B1de-mist something

给车窗除雾

I'm just gonna de-mist the windows, Rob, if that's all right with you.
短语 · B1if that's all right with you

如果你不介意的话

I'm just gonna de-mist the windows, Rob, if that's all right with you.
发音de-mist the windows

de-mist 后的 the 常弱化为 /ðə/,短促;重音压在 de-mist 和 windows 上,the 只是舌尖轻碰上下齿的一瞬。

I'm just gonna de-mist the windows, Rob, if that's all right with you.
短语 · A2all the time

一直、老是

I don't want to listen to you all the time.
语法 · B2I'd rather you didn't explain

would rather 后接从句表宁愿:表示宁愿时,后面直接接一个用过去式的从句,说明希望别人别做某事。这里的过去式并不是讲过去,而是把愿望说得委婉、不那么命令。说这话的人不想听讲解,又不想太冲,就用了这个说法。

Yeah, and I'd rather you didn't explain.
俚语 · B2Christ

天哪、老天(表示无奈或烦躁)——拿宗教神圣的名字当感叹词,在英语里属于轻度的亵渎,表示不耐烦或认输。熟人和影视对白里常见,但虔诚的人会介意,正式场合、对长辈或客户都不该用,换成更中性的感叹更稳妥。

Christ.
短语 · B1spoil it

把气氛破坏了、把好东西讲没了

You're spoiling it. You're spoiling it.
短语 · B1in that voice

用那种腔调

Why do you have to do it in that voice?
短语 · B2secure footing

踩稳、站稳脚跟

You've just got to make sure you've got secure footing.
语法 · B1just got to make sure

have got to 表必须:这个说法等于必须、非做不可,口语里比直接说必须更常用也更自然。这里用来交代爬山前唯一要保证的事,语气像在传授经验,把危险轻描淡写地带过去。

You've just got to make sure you've got secure footing.
短语 · B2a fluttery heart

心跳发慌、心慌

I sometimes get, like, a fluttery heart, like, an arrhythmic heartbeat, and I've got it now.
短语 · B1mountain rescue

山地救援队

Yeah, if it gets to three, then mountain rescue.
短语 · A2for a while

有一段时间了

Have you been here, around this area for a while, or...

看懂「车里抄小路闲扯」

这一章能学到

  • 学会拆 don't come running 的两层
  • 见到 about the journey 知道在挡捷径
  • 能用 mountain rescue 说求救

发音重点

  • gets you there — gets you there 连读时 gets 末尾的音滑向 you,you 又弱读,听起来像 get-shə-there,三个词连成一串。
  • manner of speaking — manner of speaking 连读时 manner 末尾的音接上 of,of 弱读得几乎听不见,听起来像 man-nə-speaking。
  • de-mist the windows — de-mist 后的 the 常弱化为 /ðə/,短促;重音压在 de-mist 和 windows 上,the 只是舌尖轻碰上下齿的一瞬。
I ramble through the hills and occasionally at dinner parties.

我在山野间闲逛,偶尔也在晚宴上东拉西扯。 用同一个词把走路和说话两件事缝在一起,既描绘了流浪,也顺手自嘲话多。它画面清楚,语气轻松,适合形容漫无目的地过日子的人。

I never thought you'd tell me to shush.

我真没想到你也会叫我闭嘴。 不直接生气,只把意外说出来,反而比抗议更有杀伤力。它用一句轻叹回应被制止,把委屈和抗议都包在平静里,是关系里很妙的软钉子。

The only thing that babbles is a brook.

唯一会潺潺作响的东西就是小溪。 把一个冷门的用词规则说成一句断言,像在给人上语文课,偏偏又有点道理。它适合用来纠正别人用词,也适合自嘲爱掉书袋。

and again I hear these waters rolling from their mountain springs with soft inland murmur.

我又听见这些水从山泉滚滚而来,带着柔和的内陆低语。 一句从诗里借来的句子,把流水写成会低语的东西,让眼前的风景立刻带上时间与记忆的分量。它适合在描述自然时引用,也适合表达故地重游的心情。

关于这一章的问题

don't come running to me 是什么意思?

字面是别跑来找我。若是摔断了腿,你也跑不起来,所以这句不是运动建议,是提前声明:出了事别来烦我,别指望我善后。

「可以这么说」英语怎么说?

说 in a manner of speaking。意思是可以这么说,也就是算是吧。话不想说死、又不愿直接否认,就用它把语气放软一点。

the thing about ... is 是什么意思?

意思是关于……的问题是。把一件东西点出来,专门讲它的毛病。有人嫌导航,就说 The thing about sat nav is。想抱怨又不想开口就骂,可以套这个架子。

A roads 是什么意思?

指英国的主要公路干道。有人想避开 A roads,改走那些编号弯弯绕的小路,把山景留在路上。自驾时听见 A roads,就是在说又快又直的大路。

「别跑来找我」英语怎么说?

说 don't come running to me。别跑来找我,字面一层,引申一层。腿断了还怎么跑过来。真意是你要是乱来,别来找我善后。劝朋友别逞强,这句比干说小心有画面。
