帮我回答一个问题
Answer one question for me.Uncle Frank · 2020 — 第 10 / 17 章 · 3'07" · B1
旅途中,有人忍不住问 Beth,你叔叔 Why is your uncle so odd(你叔叔为什么这么古怪)?他评价对方 He's so stoic(太隐忍了)。聊到家人,又有人自称 I know that Frank's father's the devil and his mom's a saint(弗兰克爸爸是魔鬼,妈妈是圣人),还说 Nice always hides something(友善底下总藏着东西)。想学吐槽和聊家常,这一场很自然。
旅途中,有人问起她叔叔 Why is your uncle so odd(你叔叔为什么这么古怪),贝丝觉得弗兰克挺正常,对方却说 He's so stoic(他可太隐忍了),还形容 There's a layer between him and the rest of the world(他和世界其他人之间隔着一层)。贝丝承认 I don't really know him that well(我其实跟他不算熟),但一直挺喜欢他。话题转到家人:对方说 I know that Frank's father's the devil and his mom's a saint(弗兰克爸爸是魔鬼,妈妈是圣人),还说 Nice always hides something(友善底下总藏着东西)。贝丝则讲起爱说难听话的爸爸,也讲起心里有好多爱的妈妈,最后一句 She's my heart(她是我的心头肉)收尾。想学吐槽性格、聊家人和讲自己,都能用上。

沃利说他对「好人」这套没兴趣,因为 Nice always hides something,藏起来的才值得研究。

帮我回答一个问题
Answer one question for me.你叔叔为什么这么古怪
Why is your uncle so odd?我见过最古怪的人
"What's odd about him?" He's the oddest man I've ever seen in my whole life.如此隐忍
He's so stoic, Beth. Like a mule.骡子(比喻倔强、能忍的人)——把人比作 mule,指又倔又能忍、闷头扛事。语气半调侃半佩服,熟人之间用,正式场合不适合。
He's so stoic, Beth. Like a mule.其余的、世上的其他人
There's a layer between him and the rest of the world.在他和……之间隔着一层
There's a layer between him and the rest of the world.between...and 结构:between A and B 用来框出两端,这里把「他」和「世上其他人」摆成两侧,中间隔着一层。抽象的关系被说成有厚度的东西,画面感很强。
There's a layer between him and the rest of the world.rest of the world 里 rest 末尾的音接上 of,of 又弱读,听起来像 res-to-the-world。
There's a layer between him and the rest of the world.你懂我意思吗
You know what I mean?跟他没那么熟
I don't really know him that well.一直挺喜欢他
But I've always liked him. Oh, dear.你跟他一模一样
You're just like him. [laughing]肯定是遗传
Must be hereditary.总是那么友善
You guys are so nice all the time. [laughs]nice all the time 里 nice 末尾的音接上 all,听起来像 ni-sall-the-time,整串不停。
You guys are so nice all the time. [laughs]因为一直做某事而累垮
沃利问贝丝一家,整天这么友善难道不会累吗,把「好脾气」也当成一种消耗。
I mean, don't you get exhausted being nice all the time?知道我的事
His sister knows about me, apparently.对「好人」这套没兴趣
Beth, I'm not interested in nice.友善的表象下总藏着别的东西
沃利说他对「好人」这套没兴趣,因为 Nice always hides something,藏起来的才值得研究。
Nice always hides something.what 主语从句与表语从句:前后各一个 what 从句,一个作主语,一个作表语,结构对称。它把注意力从表面转向隐藏的部分,语气像宣言,简洁有力。
What's hidden is what interests me.他是什么样的人
What's he like?说难听话
But how is he not nice? He says mean things.小嘴炮(贬称)
Like, um... like I'm a little smart-ass, and ain't no man likes a girl with a smart mouth.爱顶嘴、嘴不饶人(的毛病)
贝丝转述爸爸骂她是个小嘴炮,说没有男人喜欢嘴碎的女孩。
Like, um... like I'm a little smart-ass, and ain't no man likes a girl with a smart mouth.双重否定 ain't no:ain't no 是两个否定叠用,在标准英语里等于 no man likes。这里保留南方口语原貌,既转述了父亲的偏见,也让这句话听起来粗粝而真实。
Like, um... like I'm a little smart-ass, and ain't no man likes a girl with a smart mouth.嘴炮、爱顶嘴的小子(贬)——smart-ass 调侃或贬低爱逞口舌的人,语气随意但带刺。朋友间互损可以,正式场合和对长辈说很不礼貌。
Like, um... like I'm a little smart-ass, and ain't no man likes a girl with a smart mouth.不是、没有(口语否定)——ain't 是 am not、is not 等的俗语缩合,南方口语常见。正式写作和考试里不用。
Like, um... like I'm a little smart-ass, and ain't no man likes a girl with a smart mouth.这点说得没错
Yep, he's right about that.大多数男人都受不了
Most men don't.Most men don't 里 most 末尾的音和 men 撞在一起,几乎被吞掉,听起来像 mos-men-don't。
Most men don't.心里有好多爱
But she's got so much love.她是我的心头肉
She's my heart.What's hidden is what interests me.藏起来的,才是我感兴趣的。 把好奇心说成一种取向:我不看展示出来的,只看被压下去的部分。
There's a layer between him and the rest of the world.他和这世界其他人之间隔着一层。 用一层薄膜形容疏离,比冷漠更准:不是不想靠近,而是过不去。
I know that Frank's father's the devil and his mom's a saint.我知道弗兰克的爸爸是魔鬼,妈妈是圣人。 一句把一对父母判到两个极端,魔鬼对圣人,锋利又过耳不忘。
What's hidden is what interests me.藏起来的那部分,才是我感兴趣的。 把「好奇」变成一种方法:越被遮住的,越值得追。
指「隐忍、不动声色」,形容人不轻易表露情绪。台词里用它形容弗兰克,还打了个「像头骡子」的比方。
字面是「友善底下总藏着东西」,意思是表面的客气往往掩盖了真实的动机。台词里说话的人正是靠这份看透,想挖出弗兰克的秘密。
a smart mouth,指嘴碎、爱顶嘴的毛病;说一个人有 smart mouth,常带责怪的意思。台词里贝丝转述爸爸就是这么数落她的。
意思是「因为一直做某事而累垮」。台词里说 don't you get exhausted being nice all the time,就是问对方整天客气会不会累。
You know what I mean? 说完一段话想确认对方跟上了,就加这句。台词里聊到弗兰克那层隔阂时正好用上。
