【开心】
你会发现大部分读后续写都是皆大欢喜的结局。因此,如何表达开心,快乐,是我们必须学会的重点。
1. 初级表达
也就是在句子中,能看到直接表达喜悦的词汇,如joy, happiness等。
① Joy welled up inside her.
她心中涌起喜悦。
② She was overflowing with happiness.
她洋溢着幸福。
③ Hearing this, everybody was wild with joy.
听到这句话,每个人都欣喜若狂。
2、高级表达
用表情和动作来表达喜悦。
① A smile of understanding flashed across his face.
他脸上露出了一种理解的微笑。
② Laughter lingered around the room.
笑声在房间里萦绕。
③ She laughed, with her eyes shining with excitement.
她笑了,眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。(with复合结构)
2
【失望】
“失望”这种负面情绪,在“心灵成长”或者“帮助人”等主题故事的开头和中间,出现相对较多。我们一起来看看有哪些表达!
1. 初级表达
也就是在句子中,能看到直接表达失望的词汇,如disappointment,dismayed等。
① Overcome with bitter disappointment at his failing to win a prize, he locked himself up in his room.
他对未能获奖感到极度失望,于是把自己锁在房间里。
② He was dismayed to learn of their disloyalty.
他得知他们对他的不忠,感到很失望。
2. 高级表达
用表情和动作来表达失望。
① When I saw the pile of dirty dishes, my heart sank.
我看到那一堆肮脏的餐具时,感到很扫兴。(这句话里“my heart sank”,我的心一沉,也间接表达了“失望”。)
② The news that he didn’t win prize immediately threw him into low spirits.
他没有获奖的消息立刻使他精神低落。(这句话里“threw him into low spirits”,把我扔进了这种低落的情绪中,画面感很强。)
③ I feel like all my insides have been drained out and I feel empty and let down.
我觉得我所有的内心都被排干了,我感到空虚和失望。(drain本意是“排出,流干”。“all my insides have been drained out”,内心已经被排光了,流干了,直接对应了后面的empty。)
3
【恐惧】
“恐惧”是一种比较极端的心理,在脱离险境为主题的读后续写中,出现比较多。比如迷路,遇到狼,遇到暴风雨等。
1. 初级表达
① He turned to me, with his eyes full of horror.
他转过身来,眼里充满了恐惧。(with复合结构)
② Fear slowly creeps upon her.
恐惧慢慢地蔓延到她身上。(这句话用拟人的修辞手法,恐惧“爬到”身上,非常传神。)
③ A flood of fear welled up in him.
他心中涌起一阵恐惧。(这句话把fear(恐惧)与flood(洪水)联系起来,很亮眼的一个表达。)
2. 高级表达
① Her face turned pale and stood there tongue-tied.
她脸色苍白地站在那里,舌头打结。(这句话没有直接写“恐惧”,而是用脸色苍白,舌头打结来表现恐惧。)
② She shook all over, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
她浑身颤抖,觉得如坐针毡。(这里的“她浑身颤动”也可以换成“她的心跳得厉害(Her heart beat so violently)”。
needle针,pin大头针,feeling like sitting on pins and needles翻译成“如坐针毡”,中英文在这个表达上有异曲同工之妙!)
4
