摘要:看美剧学雅思 | 「通知我」英文怎么说?

 

今天的话题稍微有点沉重......是和死亡相关的......

 

死亡,是万物生灵无法超脱的结局,不同的,仅仅是通往虚无的路罢了。

 

一生一死,既是一段生命旅程。太史公司马迁云,人固有一死,或重于泰山,或轻于鸿毛。罗素说,死亡若溪流入江海,融入大象,化于无形。

 

All creatures upon the surface of the earth share one common fate—death. Different yet is only how we are journeying to it. 

 

And between birth and death lies the mere existence that we call life. Sima Qian once said, “We’ll all die a death, either heftier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.” And to Russel, death is like a stream joining in the ocean, merging into the vastness and blending into intangibility.

 

详见波特兰罗素原文“How to grow old”

 

An individual human existence should be like a river – small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

作为一位英语爱好者,历史爱好者,战争兵器中世纪爱好者,还是权利游戏中千面神使者Jaqen H’ghar的那一句“Valar Morghulis (凡人皆有一死)”。

I have always been a crazy fan of English and History and Wars and Weapons and the Medieval Ages, and love the most the doctrine of Jaqen H’ghar, servant of the Many Faced God, from A Game of Thrones, which is, Valar Morghulis. 

 

冷峻的面容,低沉的语调,苍白的罩袍,冰冷的钢刀,再加上一句一般人听不懂的瓦雷利亚小短句“Valar Morghulis (凡人皆有一死)”,这次第,怎一个酷字了得?

His cold face, thick voice, deathly pale robe, icy sword and a short but bewildering Valerian Valar Morghulis, make such a cool combination that even the sun might lose its heat at his presence.

 

然而,有时死亡却会成群结队,一次又一次地降临到,同一个人身上,生生死死,死死生生,仿佛陷入了轮回隧道,难以解脱。

 

阿汤哥的电影明日边缘《Edge of Tomorrow》讲述的就是这样的故事。

 

Shockingly, death may come in packs and haunt a same person several times. Birth and death, rebirth and redeath… it is like a wheel rolling on and on, with no sign of a pause, as was illustrated in the movie of Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise.

这样的循环,叫做loop,难以逃出的怪圈。

 

It is called a Loop, this rolling wheel, one that even a god may get trapped within.

 

Loop被当做怪圈用了这么多年,以至于其原本的意思都快被人遗忘了,就像权利游戏中的Hodor,还有几个人记得他本来的名字叫做Walder。

 

For so many years, the word loop has been remembered as such and its original meaning, a closed curve that doesn’t not intersect itself, is well over our heads, like Hodor from A Game of Thrones, how many still remember him as Walder, the stable boy.

所以,这次让我们返璞归真,看一个loop本来的圈的俚语用法。

 

 

So this time, let’s pick up the old school and learn a slang with the original meaning of Loop.
