奔丧前推开爱人:push someone away

弗兰克正和沃利在家,接到电话才知父亲 out of nowhere(毫无预兆)地走了。他决定回去奔丧,沃利坚持要陪,有人却一句 No, Wally, you're not coming(不,沃利,你别去)把人挡住;爱人只回一句 You're pushing me away again(你又在把我推开),他说 it will be so much harder for me if you come(如果你去了我会更难)。想学报丧和拒绝,最扎心。

发生了什么

弗兰克和沃利正待在家,一通电话带来消息:父亲 out of nowhere(毫无预兆)地走了,He died this morning(他今早去世了)。弗兰克决定回格林维尔奔丧,母亲怕他坐飞机,逼他 promise I would take the train(答应坐火车去)。弗兰克却拒绝,说 You need to stay out of this(这件事请你别插手);沃利提议 We can take turns driving(我们可以轮流开车),想一起上路,却被挡了回去。沃利反击:You're pushing me away again(你又在把我推开),Just when you're gonna need me the most(偏偏在你最需要我的时候);弗兰克最后承认,it will be so much harder for me if you come(如果你去了我会更难),还是不让他跟。想学报丧、拒绝和把心事藏起来的说法,这段都有。

Have you met Barbara Stanwyck?
短语 · B2someone is gone

你爸爸走了(去世了)

your daddy's gone. He's gone.
发音died this morning

died this morning 里 died 末尾的音和 this 撞在一起,几乎被吞掉,听起来像 die-this-morning。

What? [Mammaw] He died this morning.
短语 · B2out of nowhere

毫无预兆地、突然出现

外婆说父亲 just out of nowhere 就倒下,正要上车的时候,突出死亡来得毫无征兆。

Just out of nowhere, getting into the car. Okay.

out of nowhere 里 out 末尾的音接上 of,of 又弱读,听起来像 ou-to-nowhere。

Just out of nowhere, getting into the car. Okay.

短语 · B2make someone promise

逼我保证

She made me promise I would take the train.
语法 · B2She made me promise I would take the train

make someone do 加 would 从句:made 后面接人加动词原形,promise 后面又接一个用 would 引导的从句,说明承诺的内容。两层结构叠起来,把母亲的坚持交代得很具体。

She made me promise I would take the train.
短语 · B1take the car

开车去

You can take the car.
短语 · B2give someone a chance to do something

让你们有机会……

It's faster than the train, and it'll give you guys a chance to get to know each other.
语法 · B2it'll give you guys a chance to get to know each other

give someone a chance to do:give 加人加 a chance,再用 to 不定式说明是什么机会。它把一次同行说成增进了解的机会,语气顺带就替决定找了个好理由。

It's faster than the train, and it'll give you guys a chance to get to know each other.
发音get to know

get to know 里 get 和 to 的 t 在元音之间都会闪成很软的 d 音,听起来像 ged-to-know。

It's faster than the train, and it'll give you guys a chance to get to know each other.
短语 · B2break someone's heart

伤透某人的心、让某人心碎

沃利说弗兰克不回去会伤透他妈妈的心,用最直接的家庭情感逼他动身。

一辈子逃避这件事

You're not gonna run away from this your whole life, you know?

世上最蠢的男人

I have a question. Are you the stupidest man alive?
俚语 · B2stupidest

最蠢的(口语最高级)——stupidest 是口语里的最高级形式,比常规说法更随性。朋友间互怼可以,正式场合用更得体的说法。

I have a question. Are you the stupidest man alive?
短语 · B2look who ...

看看我跟谁在一起

Obviously. Look who I'm with.
短语 · B2be there for someone

陪在我身边

Wally, I appreciate you wanting to be there for me, I do, but honestly,
语法 · B2I appreciate you wanting to be there for me

appreciate 接动名词:appreciate 后面要接动名词,不能接不定式。这里先谢对方的陪伴,再用 but 转出拒绝,礼貌和决绝并存,是很成熟的表达方式。

Wally, I appreciate you wanting to be there for me, I do, but honestly,
短语 · B2harder for someone if ...

如果你来我会更难

it will be so much harder for me if you come.

看懂「奔丧前推开爱人」

这一章能学到

  • 学会用 daddy's gone 说亲人去世
  • 见到 out of nowhere 就知道毫无预兆
  • 会用 stay out of this 挡别人插手
  • 听懂 run away from 是劝人别逃
  • 能用 so much harder 拒绝同行

发音重点

  • died this morning — died this morning 里 died 末尾的音和 this 撞在一起,几乎被吞掉,听起来像 die-this-morning。
  • out of nowhere — out of nowhere 里 out 末尾的音接上 of,of 又弱读,听起来像 ou-to-nowhere。
  • get to know — get to know 里 get 和 to 的 t 在元音之间都会闪成很软的 d 音,听起来像 ged-to-know。
Just when you're gonna need me the most.

偏偏在你最需要我的时候。 一句指责里全是心疼:你最难的时候把我推开,我却只想留下。

it will be so much harder for me if you come.

如果你去了,对我来说会难得多。 把拒绝说得像坦白而不是嫌弃:不是不要你,是我撑不住。

You're not gonna run away from this your whole life, you know?

你不能一辈子都逃避这件事,知道吗? 把逃避说成一种长期习惯,而不是这一次的懦弱。

You're pushing me away again.

你又在把我推开。 把反复的伤害说成一个动作:again 两个字就点出这是老毛病。

关于这一章的问题

push someone away 是什么意思?

字面是「把某人推开」,实际指在感情上疏远对方、不让对方靠近。台词里爱人质问 You're pushing me away again,说的就是这种拒绝。

「别插手」英语怎么说?

stay out of this,字面是「待在这件事外面」。台词里用它让对方别管自己的家事,语气客气一点就加 please。

out of nowhere 是什么意思?

意思是「毫无预兆地、突然出现」。台词里说父亲本来还好好的,上车时突然就出事了,用这个词强调意外。

break your mother's heart 是什么意思?

字面是「打碎妈妈的心」,指让某人心碎、伤透心。台词里用它劝人别做会让母亲难过的决定。

「偏偏在你最需要我的时候」英语怎么说?

just when you're gonna need me the most。just when 引出「偏偏就在……的时候」,这类带委屈的话在争吵里很常见。
