这场戏：目睹客机撞进纽约大楼
第 9 章 · 共 17 章 · 2'58"
雷达屏前，一架客机急速下坠，有人一句 This guy is going straight down into the ground（这家伙正径直往地上栽），话音没落就看见大楼爆炸、街上的人四处狂奔。同一时刻，航班上乘务员还在照常问乘客 Coffee or juice（咖啡还是果汁）。想学航空调度里的惊呼和机上服务用语，这段反差极大。
飞机直往下坠：like a manhole cover（像井盖一样）
like a manhole cover 像井盖一样直往下坠going straight down into the ground 正径直往地上栽running up the street 沿街狂奔
机上照常服务：Here you go, sir（给您，先生）
glued to 盯着挪不开眼football with no padding 像没护具的橄榄球一样颠Here you go 给您
指挥中心的雷达屏上，一架客机不听呼叫、急速下降，有人脱口而出 This guy's dropping like a manhole cover（这家伙像井盖一样直往下掉），又重复 This guy is going straight down into the ground（这家伙正径直往地上栽）。接着大家眼睁睁看着它冲进纽约的大楼，现场只剩一句 The building's exploding right now（那栋楼正在爆炸），随即向各方播报 Be advised there's a major incident over New York（请注意，纽约上空发生重大事件），并确认 We've got another hijack（又发生了一起劫机）。与此同时，航班上乘务员还在问 Coffee or juice（咖啡还是果汁），照常提供服务。想学紧急通报、目睹灾难时的口语，以及机上服务用语，这段全有。
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。
“This guy's dropping like a manhole cover now, Paul.”
保罗，这家伙现在像井盖一样往下掉。
一个井盖的比喻，把陡直下坠的分量全说出来了。
someone is dropping like a ...
形容东西直往下掉、跌得又急又狠时用；口语里很生动，正式报告别用。
He's dropping like a stone. ／ It's falling straight out of the sky.
口语
dropping like a 连读，manhole 重音在前，Paul 前略停。
The temperature is dropping like a stone tonight. 今晚气温像石头一样往下掉。
“This guy is going straight down into the ground, I'm telling you.”
这家伙正径直往地上栽，我跟你说。
把坠机说成一句预言，重复的 I'm telling you 全是不甘。
This ... is going straight down into the ground.
眼看坏结果要发生、却拦不住时用；跟同事示警合适，正式场合嫌情绪化。
It's heading straight for the ground. ／ That thing is going down, no question.
口语
straight down into 连读，I'm telling you 放慢加重。
This project is going straight into the ground, I'm telling you. 这个项目正径直往坑里掉，我跟你说。
“The building's exploding right now! You got people running up the street!”
那栋楼正在爆炸！街上的人都在狂奔！
两个感叹句连在一起，把亲眼所见的失控喊给电话那头。
... is ... right now! You got people ...!
现场突发、要人立刻知道严重程度时用；播报、通话都行，别用在书面叙述。
It's blowing up as we speak. ／ People are running everywhere right now.
口语
exploding right now 冲起来，running up the street 连读。
The warehouse is on fire right now! You got people running out the gate! 仓库现在正着火！人都往大门外跑！
“I don't know what the hell is going on.”
我完全不知道到底出了什么事。
一句最普通的茫然，配上 what the hell 就成了情绪出口。
I don't know what the hell is ...
完全搞不清状况、又有点恼火时用；跟朋友吐槽合适，对客户别用。
I have no idea what's happening. ／ Nothing about this makes sense.
口语
don't know 连读，what the hell 处略放重，句尾下沉。
I don't know what the hell is wrong with this printer. 我完全不知道这打印机到底怎么了。
“Be advised there's a major incident over New York right now.”
请注意，纽约上空现在发生重大事件。
最平静的公文腔报出最大的事，反而更让人发冷。
Be advised there's a ... right now.
正式通报、广播里提示重要情况时用；日常提醒别人别说这个腔调。
Please be aware of a serious situation. ／ We have a major incident to report.
正式
Be advised 平稳, major incident 两词清楚，right now 略拖。
Be advised there's a major delay on the north line. 请注意，北线现在严重晚点。
“Yeah, it's like football with no padding. Here you go, sir.”
是啊，就跟没护具的橄榄球似的。给您，先生。
把颠簸比成没护具的橄榄球，灾难前的客舱幽默格外扎心。
It's like ... with no padding.
用比喻轻松形容颠簸、辛苦时用；熟人之间最自然，正式描述别用。
It's like a roller coaster with no seatbelt. ／ Rough as a bumpy road, no cushions at all.
口语
football with no padding 连读，Here you go 轻快，sir 收稳。
That hike was like football with no padding. 那趟徒步就跟没护具的橄榄球一样。
下一章 · 10ground stop全国地面停飞这场戏：下令全国停飞并升空拦截是正式告知对方时的开头语，相当于「请注意」。台词 Be advised there's a major incident over New York，就是「请注意，纽约上空发生了重大事件」。无线电、公告里很常见。
call back。台词 I'll have to call you back 就是「我得回头再打给你」。注意中间可以放宾语，说成 call you back，别直接说 call back you。
字面是「被粘住」，引申为盯住不放、挪不开眼。台词说 I'm glued to this，就是「我看这个看得挪不开眼」。看球赛、刷剧停不下来都能用。
用 what the hell，接在疑问或陈述里表示困惑、恼火。台词 I don't know what the hell is going on，就是「我完全不知道到底出了什么事」。
manhole cover 是马路上的井盖。台词把急速下坠的飞机比成井盖，形容它几乎垂直地往下掉，画面感很强，比 simply falling 更生动。
