这场戏：深夜闻到亡母气息
第 16 章 · 共 28 章 · 2'35"
深夜，两人在风沃宅等着那位半夜哭嚎的夫人，屋里忽然飘起一股 overpowering（浓得受不了）的含羞草味，还亮起像小夜灯的光。斯特拉说那是她母亲，一句 I wanted to see the dawn with her（我想陪她一起看日出），道破她从没被人这样爱过。想描述气味、说童年缺憾，都用得上。
❝ 独白 · 7 句 闻到 overpowering（浓烈得让人受不了）的含羞草味
overpowering 浓烈得让人受不了come from 从哪儿来、源自night-light 夜里点的小灯It's my mother 是我母亲
深夜的风沃宅，牌局拖到天亮，那位半夜哭嚎的夫人却始终没来。屋里忽然飘起一股 overpowering（浓得让人受不了）的含羞草香味，又亮起像 night-light（夜里点的小灯）一样的微光。斯特拉循着气息走来，说那是她的母亲，还讲出从没体会过的感觉：原来有人这样深地爱着她。有人劝她回家，她却舍不得走，最后只能让人开车送她。想描写气味浓得呛人、形容一点微光，或者把一件与某人无关的事说清楚，这些词都能直接用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“I wanted to see the dawn with her.”
我想陪她一起看日出。
一句想陪母亲看日出的心愿，把思念说得又轻又重。
I wanted to ... with someone.
对亲近的人说想一起做件小事时用；正式汇报里别这么抒情。
I hoped to watch the sunrise with her. ／ I just wanted to be there with her.
literary
wanted to 连读，dawn 拉长，句尾轻轻落下。
I wanted to see the exhibition with you. 我想跟你一起去看那个展。
“The knowledge that... someone loved me very dearly.”
那种……有人深深爱着我的感觉。
停顿之后落在一个「被爱」的认知上，是全片最软的一刀。
The knowledge that ...
说出自己确认某件暖心事实时用；吵架或公事场合别用。
The feeling that someone truly cared. ／ Knowing that somebody loved me.
literary
that 后停顿一拍，loved me dearly 放慢放轻。
The knowledge that he still remembered meant everything. 知道他仍然记得我，这就够了。
“Don't you know who it is in your house?”
你不知道你家里来的是谁吗？
反问里带着责备，把斯特拉的执念和众人的迟钝一起戳破。
Don't you know who/what ...?
对方该知道却装不知道时用；对长辈或客人这样问会失礼。
Do you really not know who that is? ／ You must know who it is.
口语
Don't you 连读，who it is 轻快带过，句尾上扬。
Don't you know who signed the contract? 你难道不知道合同是谁签的？
“It was full of her scent. I could feel her presence everywhere.”
满屋子都是她的气味，我到处都能感觉到她在。
用嗅觉和触觉代替看见，把思念写得比鬼影更真实。
It was full of her scent. I could feel her presence everywhere.
描述强烈的思念或熟悉感时用；在陌生人面前讲会显得私密。
The room was full of her scent and presence. ／ I could smell her and feel her all around me.
literary
full of 连读，her scent 重读，presence everywhere 收尾。
The kitchen was full of her scent. I could feel her presence everywhere. 满厨房都是她的气味，我到处都能感觉到她在。
I didn't see her... but when I woke, she was here in the room. It was full of her scent. I could feel her presence everywhere. And there was something else... something I've never known in my whole life. What? The knowledge that... someone loved me very dearly.
我没看见她…… 可我醒来的时候，她就在这屋里。 满屋子都是她的气息，我到处都能感觉到她。 而且还有别的什么…… 一种我这辈子从没体会过的东西。 什么？ 那种……有人深深爱着我的感觉。
下一章 · 17tear someone apart让人心碎这场戏：劝她离开却被拒绝形容气味、味道或情绪强到让人受不了，中文常说「浓得呛人、太冲了」。这里说的是屋里的含羞草香，浓得没法忽略，比 strong 更带压迫感。
miss one's cue。cue 是演员该出场的那句提示，miss 是没抓住，合起来就是轮到自己却错过了该动的时机，也常用在工作、社交里。
就是夜里点着的小灯，为孩子或怕黑的人留一点光。台词里那点微光像小夜灯，其实是鬼魂出现的前兆。
意思是「跟……毫无关系」，用来撇清关联，比如一件事不是某人造成的。剧中斯特拉坚信母亲的到来跟她昨晚生病没有关系。
take someone home 和 drive someone home 都行，前者偏「陪某人回去」，后者特指开车送。剧里先说我 take you home，后来又改口让 Dr. Scott 开车送。
