小雁认妈后接下任务:make it up

萝斯半路遇到一窝小负鼠,有人给她科普:Goslings imprint on the first thing they see(小雁会把第一眼见到的对象认成妈妈),于是她成了小雁的妈。她自认 I do not have the programming to be a mother(我没有当妈妈的程序),对方只答 We just make it up(我们都是现编的)。想学认命和现编,这段最好笑。

发生了什么

萝斯遇到一窝小负鼠,还发现一只跟着她的小雁。负鼠妈妈给她上了生物课:Goslings imprint on the first thing they see(小雁会把第一眼见到的对象认成妈妈),而 As far as he's concerned, you're his mother now(在他看来,你现在就是他妈妈)。萝斯一脸程序正确地自认 I do not have the programming to be a mother(我没有当妈妈的程序),对方只答 We just make it up(我们都是现编的)。对方顺势把任务派给她:Taking care of him is your task now(照顾他,就是你现在的任务),还提醒要 fly by fall(秋天前得会飞)。萝斯于是接下任务:Task acquired. Return mode delayed(任务已接收,返厂模式延迟)。想学科普、挖苦和认命,这段又萌又好笑。

看懂「小雁认妈后接下任务」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 make it up 说没说明书只能现编
  • 见到 imprint on 知道是认第一眼当妈
  • 会用 fly by fall 把期限说到季节
  • 听懂 as far as he's concerned

发音重点

  • don't feel good — don't 弱读,重音落在 feel 和 good
  • taking you all — taking you 连成 takin-you,you 弱读
  • got to die — got to 常吞成 gotta,中间 t 几乎消失
  • gonna get killed — gonna 已是 going to 的吞音,再接 get
As far as he's concerned, you're his mother now.

在他看来,你现在就是他妈妈。 主观口径一锤定音:不管萝斯怎么定义自己,小雁已经选定她。

I do not have the programming to be a mother.

我没有当妈妈的程序。 用机器人口吻拒绝育儿,越正式越显得无助,也越像所有新手的心声。

We just make it up.

我们都是现编的。 把当妈从程序问题改成所有父母的共同秘密:没有说明书。

Do you have any information on how to take care of this unit?

你有没有关于怎么照顾这个机型的资料? 把幼崽称作「这个机型」,用技术腔问育儿,冷面反差制造全部笑点。

关于这一章的问题

imprint on 是什么意思?

是动物学里的「印刻」,指幼崽把第一眼见到的对象当成要依恋、跟随的亲人。台词里 Goslings imprint on the first thing they see,就是小雁会把第一眼认成妈妈。

make it up 在这里是什么意思?

不是「和好」,而是「现编、即兴凑」。台词里说 No one does. We just make it up(没人有当妈的编程,我们都是现编的),把做妈妈重新定义成边做边学。

「对某人来说」英语怎么说?

as far as someone is concerned。台词里 As far as he's concerned, you're his mother now(在他看来,你现在就是他妈妈),用来强调这是对方的想法。

「恭喜」也能用来挖苦吗?

可以。congratulations 字面是祝贺,语气一变就成了反话。台词里对方看着萝斯被小雁缠上,冷冷来一句 Congratulations,等于说「你可摊上大事了」。

「这话该怎么说才好」英语怎么说?

How do I put this? 或 How do I put this delicately? 表示话不好开口、想斟酌措辞。台词里用它铺垫「不学会飞就会有生命危险」这种不太吉利的话。
