变身红熊猫听妈妈讲诅咒:watch someone like a hawk

美玲一觉醒来发现自己变成了红熊猫,妈妈明赶来安抚,讲出祖先孙仪与红月仪式的来历;她还承认 I thought I had more time(我以为还来得及),并警告 There is a darkness to the panda, Mei, Mei(熊猫身上有股黑暗力量),只有一次机会驱除。想学怎么安慰、讲传说和郑重警告,这几句都用得上。

发生了什么

美玲一觉醒来,发现自己变成了红熊猫,惊叫 What's happening to me?(我这是怎么了)。妈妈明赶来安抚,说了一句 it's okay. Mommy is here(没事,妈妈在这儿),随后讲出家族祖先孙仪的传说:孙仪曾求神明让她变成红熊猫来保护家人,这份天赋代代相传,到了新世界却成了麻烦。明说下个红月可以用仪式把红熊猫之灵封印,但也警告 There is a darkness to the panda(熊猫身上有股黑暗力量),只有一次机会把它驱除,否则永不得自由。她还保证 I'll be with you every step of the way(我会一路陪着你)。想学怎么安慰、讲传说和郑重警告,这些话都用得上。

如你所知

短语 · B1so ... that

太……以至于

In fact, she loved them so much that she asked the gods to turn her into one.
语法 · B1loved them so much that she asked the gods

so ... that 结果从句:she loved them so much that she asked the gods 里 so much 加 that 引出结果:她太喜欢熊猫,以至于求神把自己变成一只。so 后面接程度,that 后面接因此发生的事。若只说 loved them so much 而不加 that,就只剩程度,没有了结果。

In fact, she loved them so much that she asked the gods to turn her into one.
发音asked the gods

asked 末尾 /d/ 在 the 前只做口型不爆破;d 舌位一放就滑到 the,重音压 asked。

短语 · B2be desperate for something

Sun Yee passed this gift to her daughters for when they came of age. And they passed it to theirs.
语法 · C1for when they came of age

介词后接 when 从句:for when they came of age 里,for 后面接一个 when 从句,表示这份天赋是为她们长大成人那天准备的。when 从句用过去时 came,整体说的是过去的事。介词后直接跟从句,比另起一句更紧凑。

Sun Yee passed this gift to her daughters for when they came of age. And they passed it to theirs.
短语 · B1over time

随着时间推移

But over time, our family chose to come to a new world.

I thought if I watched you like a hawk, I'd see the signs and be able to prepare.
语法 · B2if I watched you like a hawk

嵌在 thought 后的条件从句:if I watched you like a hawk 是嵌在 thought 后面的条件从句,用过去时 watched 表示当时设想的做法,主句那半句也用同样的假设语气呼应。整句是母亲的自责:我以为只要盯紧你,就能提前看出征兆。

I thought if I watched you like a hawk, I'd see the signs and be able to prepare.
发音like a hawk

短语 · B2every step of the way

全程、每一步

We'll wait it out together. And I'll be with you every step of the way.

看懂「变身红熊猫听妈妈讲诅咒」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 like a hawk 说盯得很紧
  • 见到 for good 知道是永久
  • 能用 every step of the way 说全程陪伴

发音重点

  • asked the gods — asked 末尾 /d/ 在 the 前只做口型不爆破;d 舌位一放就滑到 the,重音压 asked。
  • like a hawk — like 末尾 /k/ 滑进 a,常连成 /laɪkəˈhɔːk/;三词一口气,重音压 hawk。
  • wait it out — wait 的 t 在元音间弹成轻 /d/,常连成 /weɪdɪdaʊt/;舌尖一弹就走,重音压 wait。
There is a darkness to the panda, Mei, Mei.

美美,这只熊猫身上有一股黑暗的力量。 把心理阴影说成一只体内潜伏的野兽,既形象又不吓人。它承认力量有阴暗面,也预告整部电影真正的冲突:不是赶走它,而是学会共处。

You only have one chance to banish it, and you cannot fail.

你只有一次机会把它驱逐,而且不能失手。 把宽容的余地一句话收干净:只有一次,不许失败。它既是仪式的规则,也是母亲毕生的焦虑,冷静得近乎残酷。

I thought if I watched you like a hawk, I'd see the signs and be able to prepare.

我以为只要像鹰一样盯紧你,就能看出征兆、提前准备。 用「盯鹰」把过度保护说得既用力又无力:专心到极点,结果还是没赶上。一句自责里藏着所有父母的自以为是。

I thought I had more time.

我以为我还有时间。 一句迟到者的自我审判:把失职收进 I thought,把悔意留给 had more time。

关于这一章的问题

wait it out 是什么意思?

意思是「熬过去、等它过去」,指不急着行动,硬撑到难受的时期结束。台词里 We'll wait it out together 就是「我们一起熬过去」,很口语。

「盯得死死的」英语怎么说?

watch someone like a hawk。像老鹰盯着猎物一样盯着某人,形容一刻也不放松。妈妈说当年就是这样盯着美玲,想早点发现征兆。

came of age 怎么用?

指「长大成人、到成年」,多用来描述孩子长到某个年纪。比如 when they came of age(等她们长大成人),是偏正式的书面说法。

grant a wish 是什么意思?

指「实现愿望」,主语通常是神明、仙女这类有法力的人。传说里 the gods granted her wish 就是「神明实现了她的愿望」,自己许愿不用它。

every step of the way 是什么意思?

指「全程、一路都陪着」。妈妈说 I'll be with you every step of the way,就是「我会一路陪着你」,安慰人时特别好用。
