这场戏：抻糖房里匆匆告别
第 18 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'03"
迈克被抻糖机拉得又长又软，旺卡转头对蒂维太太说该说再见了：For some moments in life, there are no words（人生有些时刻，是无言的），紧接着就赶人 Run along（去吧）。随后他又草草把查理和乔爷爷送走，两人忍不住问 Did we do something wrong（我们做错什么了吗）？想学敷衍的告别和打发人，看这几句。
❝ 独白 · 6 句 奥帕伦帕人的电视歌
押韵的歌词把孩子贪看电视的下场唱成一则笑话。
「恕我不送你们出去了」是 Excuse me for not showing you out
showing you out 送你出去A whole day wasted 白白浪费一整天find out 弄清楚、查明
迈克被抻糖机拉得又长又软，旺卡却转头对蒂维太太说该道别了：For some moments in life, there are no words（人生有些时刻，是无言的），紧接着一句 Run along（去吧）就把人打发了，最后还补了句戏谑的法语 Adieu（再见）。查理问别的孩子会怎样，他说都会 be quite all right（完全没问题），离开时会更 wiser for the wear（吃一堑长一智）；可转头他就草草把查理和乔爷爷送出工厂，一句 Excuse me for not showing you out（恕我不送你们出去了）说得客气又冷。两人被晾在原地，只能问 Did we do something wrong（我们做错什么了吗），最后决定弄清楚。想学客气地打发人、把话说得体面又疏远的英文，这几句全是范本。
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。
“Don't worry about a thing, Mom. I feel fine.”
妈，你什么都不用担心。我好好的。
明明被缩成小不点还劝妈妈别担心，天真到让人发笑。
Don't worry about a thing, ...
安慰家人朋友、让对方别操心时用；对不熟的人说会显得多余。
Don't worry about a thing. ／ Try not to worry about it.
口语
Don't worry 连读，about a thing 轻快，I feel fine 收住。
Don't worry about a thing, I've got it covered. 你什么都别担心，我都安排好了。
“For some moments in life, there are no words. Run along now.”
人生有些时刻，是没有任何言语的。去吧。
先摆出深情哲理，紧接一句催人走，反差的喜剧感极强。
For some moments in life, there are no words.
想说某刻难以言表时用；紧跟着命令别人走，才像旺卡式的冷幽默。
Some moments leave you speechless. ／ There are no words for a moment like this.
literary
For some 轻读，no words 重音，Run along 干脆。
For some moments in life, there are no words, and then the applause starts. 人生有些时刻无需言语，然后掌声就响了。
“" Parting is such sweet sorrow. "”
「离别是这样甜蜜的悲伤。」
拿莎剧名句送客，一本正经的做作让告别格外好笑。
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
半开玩笑地念一句名言来告别时用；正经场合乱引会显得卖弄。
Farewell, and such sweet sorrow. ／ Saying goodbye is bittersweet.
literary
Parting is 连读，sweet sorrow 两个 s 音要分清。
Parting is such sweet sorrow, but my train leaves tonight. 离别固然甜蜜又伤感，可我今晚的火车要走。
“When they leave here, they'll be restored to their normal, terrible old selves.”
他们离开这里时，会恢复成原来那个正常又糟糕的自己。
用 normal、terrible 这对矛盾的词又夸又损，旺卡的毒舌全在这里。
they'll be restored to their normal, ... old selves
半开玩笑地评价某人「恢复原样还是老样子」时用；当面说会得罪人。
They'll go back to being their usual selves. ／ They'll be their old selves again.
口语
restored to 连读，normal 与 terrible 的对比要念出来。
After the holiday, they'll be restored to their normal, overworked selves. 假期一过，他们又会变回那个累成狗的常态。
“I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Excuse me for not showing you out.”
希望你们玩得开心。恕我不送你们出去了。
逐客令包在最客气的句子里，越礼貌越冷，是赶人的教科书。
I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Excuse me for not ...
想客气地把人请走、又不想撕破脸时用；对朋友这样说会显得冷淡。
I hope you enjoyed it. I won't see you out. ／ Glad you came. Now off you go.
正式
enjoyed yourselves 连读，Excuse me 轻，not showing you out 平收。
I hope you enjoyed yourselves, but I have to get back to work. 希望你们玩得开心，不过我得回去干活了。
“But I'm going to find out.”
但我会弄清楚的。
短短一句收住全章，孩子起了疑心，悬念就立住了。
But I'm going to find out.
表示自己一定要查个明白时用；对上级或长辈说这话会比较硬。
But I intend to find out. ／ I'll get to the bottom of it.
中性
going to 连读成 gonna，find out 重音在后。
Nobody will tell me, but I'm going to find out. 没人肯告诉我，但我会弄清楚的。
Oompa Loompa Doompadee Do I've got another puzzle for you Oompa Loompa Doompada Dee If you are wise you'll listen to me What do you get from a glut of TV? A pain in the neck and an IQ of three Why don't you try simply reading a book? Or could you just not bear to look? You'll get no You'll get no commercials Oompa Loompa Doompadee Da If you like reading, you will go far You will live in happiness, too Like the Oompa Oompa Loompa Doompadee Do
奥帕伦帕，咚咚啪迪咚，我又给你们出了个谜题。奥帕伦帕，咚咚啪达迪，你要是聪明就听我说。看太多电视，你会得到什么？ 脖子酸痛，智商只有三。你为什么不干脆读本书？ 还是你根本不敢看？ 你不会有 你不会有广告。奥帕伦帕，咚咚啪迪达，你要是爱读书，会走得很远。你也会过得幸福，就像奥帕…… 奥帕伦帕，咚咚啪迪咚
意思是能管用、能搞定。旺卡把迈克放进抻糖机时说 That should do the trick，就是「这应该能管用」。
说 run along，语气像大人叫小孩「去吧」，带点不耐烦。旺卡说 Run along now，就是把人赶走。
意思是让你负责、把账算到你头上，常见搭配 hold someone responsible for something，比如 I won't hold you responsible（我不怪你）。
指吃过亏、受过教训之后反而更长记性、更懂事一点。旺卡说别的孩子会 a little bit wiser for the wear，就是这个意思。
adieu 是从法语借来的「再见」，比 goodbye 更文绉绉、更戏剧化。旺卡对蒂维太太说 Adieu，是刻意说得优雅又疏远。
意思是完全没问题、挺好的，比 all right 语气更强，比如 They'll be quite all right（他们都会没事的）。
