让某人搭车
He gave me a ride in his car or boat thing, and you were in the back seat with me.Waking Life · 2001 — 第 13 / 13 章 · 2'37" · B2
梦里醒来还在梦里：false awakenings
有人问对方是不是也坐过那辆「船车」，接着说自己一次次醒来，却只是醒进另一个梦。false awakenings（假醒）说的就是以为醒了其实还在梦里的情况；creeped out（心里发毛）和 be in for something（等着经历糟的）也都能一起学到。想聊梦境、怪事和毛骨悚然的感觉，这几句很够用。
发生了什么
一开始，有人问对方是不是也坐过那辆「船车」，还说自己下车后被车撞了，可接着只是醒来，后来才发现自己还在做梦。对方回说这叫 false awakenings（假醒），也就是以为醒了其实还在梦里；说话的人说自己一次次醒来，却只是醒进另一个梦，越想越 creeped out（心里发毛）。后半段有人讲起菲利普·K·迪克的轶事，先自嘲说，听到这种开头，接下来几分钟通常就要 be in for something（等着经历糟的）了——多半很无聊；再讲到书里的人物和情节竟和现实一一对上，把故事里的作家吓坏了——freak someone out（把某人吓坏）说的就是这个。想聊梦境、怪事和心里发毛的感觉，这几句都能直接用。
这场戏看什么
- 留意对方从礼貌怀疑到接梗的语气
- 注意 dream 反复出现形成的压迫感
- 听 freaking out 的口语味
留意这几个短语

false awakenings
假醒：以为醒了其实还在梦里waking up inside a dream
有人讲完自己一次次醒来的经历，随后有人给这种情形起名 false awakenings（假醒），还说自己以前也常这样，语气像在聊老毛病。
False awakenings can make you think you're late for work when you're still in bed.假醒会让你以为自己上班要迟到了，其实还在床上。

本章全部批注
42 句台词里标了 26 处
懂行；知道你在说什么
有人坚称两人同坐过那辆船车，对方接不上，用 know what you're talking about 这句听着客气的话把离奇叙述顶回去。
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.疑问词宾语从句：what you're talking about 是 know 的宾语从句；what 在从句里作 about 的宾语。
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.you're 只留很轻的一团，先抓后面的 talking about
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.让某人下车
No, see, you guys let me off at this really specific spot...结果落得做某事
I get out and ended up getting hit by a car.false awakenings 快说时 s 滑进后面元音，两个词几乎连成一串
Those are called "false awakenings." I used to have those all the time.摆脱某事
I can't get out of it. It's been going on forever.没完没了地持续
I can't get out of it. It's been going on forever.心里发毛——熟人聊怪事时用，正式报告别用
I'm starting to get creeped out too, like I'm talking to dead people.等着经历（多指糟的）
有人要开始讲一个梦，先自嘲说听到这种开头，接下来几分钟通常很无聊——be in for something 说的就是这种等着熬的处境；还补一句：你这次也许真会碰上。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.宾语从句套状语：I know that... 后面整个是宾语从句，其中 when... 是时间状语；先抓 you’re in for 这个主句，再补条件。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.某事的序曲/前奏
It was the preamble to the dream.凭某作品获奖
- You know that one? - Yeah, yeah. He won an award for that one.从某人那里自然涌出
有人提到那本书写得飞快，用 flow out of someone 形容故事像从作家身上顺畅涌出，甚至像在通灵，语气里带着半信半疑。
It just, like, flowed right out of him.与…同名/相同
who had the same name as the woman character in the book.与某人偷情
and she was having an affair with this guy, the chief of police.简直直接出自某处 这里指她的经历与小说情节一模一样，不是从书里掉出来。
So she's telling him all this stuff from her life, and everything she's saying is right out of his book.him 常只剩很轻的 im，重音落在 freaking 和 out
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?把他吓坏了——口语，朋友间常用，正式场合别用
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?形迹可疑的——描述陌生人很自然，正式写作换 suspicious
and he saw this kind of, um, dangerous, shady-looking guy standing by his car.而不是做某事
But instead of avoiding him, which he said he usually would have done, he walked right up to him and said, "Can I help you?"非限制性定语从句：which 指前面的 avoiding him；he said 是插入，would have done 表示“原本通常会做”。拆开才不晕。
But instead of avoiding him, which he said he usually would have done, he walked right up to him and said, "Can I help you?"用完某物
And the guy said, "Yeah. I ran out of gas."掏出某物
He pulls out his wallet and he hands him some money, which he says he never would have done.把某物递给某人
He pulls out his wallet and he hands him some money, which he says he never would have done.看懂「梦里醒来还在梦里」
发音重点
- what you're — you're 只留很轻的一团，先抓后面的 talking about
- false awakenings — false awakenings 快说时 s 滑进后面元音，两个词几乎连成一串
- freaking him out — him 常只剩很轻的 im，重音落在 freaking 和 out
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about.我不是说你不知道自己在说什么，可我真不知道你在说什么。 先给对方留面子，再用重复句把荒诞感轻轻推回去，冷幽默式反驳。
Those are called "false awakenings." I used to have those all the time.那种情况叫“假醒”。我以前经常这样。 用术语命名怪体验，再补一句“我以前常这样”，把恐怖拉回日常。
I keep waking up, but I'm just waking up into another dream.我一次次醒来，可只是醒进另一个梦里。 keep 与 just 对照，把循环的绝望压进一句平常话。
I know that when someone says that, usually you’re in for a very boring next few minutes, and you might be.我知道，有人这么开口时，接下来几分钟通常很无聊——你这次可能也是。 先自嘲预告冷场，再补一句“你这次也许真会碰上”，把听众也拉进玩笑。
So that's really freaking him out, but what can he do?所以这把他吓坏了，可他又能怎么办呢？ freaking him out 很口语，what can he do 一转，把怪事变成无奈。
关于这一章的问题
false awakenings 是什么意思？
指以为已经醒了、其实还在梦里。台词里有人先说自己醒来，后来发现还在做梦，对方就把这种情形叫作 false awakenings，还说自己以前常这样。
「心里发毛」英语怎么说？
可以用 creeped out。台词里有人说自己开始 get creeped out，像在跟死人说话，就是越想越瘆得慌、毛骨悚然。
be in for something 是「等着经历」什么？
多指等着经历不太好的事。台词里说，有人一开口讲梦，接下来几分钟通常很无聊，所以说 you’re in for a very boring next few minutes，就是等着熬过无聊的几分钟。
freak someone out 和 creeped out 一样吗？
不完全一样。freak someone out 是把某人吓坏、弄慌，宾语是人；creeped out 是说自己心里发毛。台词里前者说那件事把他吓坏了，后者说自己开始觉得瘆得慌。
「形迹可疑的」英语怎么说？
说 shady-looking。台词里形容站在车旁的人 dangerous, shady-looking，就是看着危险、鬼鬼祟祟。
