光看美剧学英文是不够滴!^o^口语也要扎实学

1. Previously on heroes-Five strangers across the globe began to discover they had extraordinary abilities, from a cheerleader who realized she is invincible, to the office worker who can bend space and time. These strangers are discovering. They are meant for something more.And as a son seeks the truth by finishing his father's work, he is forced to run from the man surrounded in mystery, (He left everything behind but his computer.) —a man who is more connected than anyone imagined. And now Heroes continues.
——invincible 太强大以至于不能被制服的。
——be meant for sth / be meant to be 注定是,注意区别 mean for sth针对某事和 mean to do诚信要做,故意要做。
——在上集的英雄中,从一个拉拉队员发现她的强大能力,到一名公司职员发现自己能够扭曲时空,来自世界各地的五名陌生人,开始发现他们拥有的特殊能力。他们正在探索中。他们应该有一番更大的作为。一位要完成父亲未完成的事业,以查找父亲被害真相的儿子,也不得不逃离一个缠绕这谜团的男人,一个于此事比任何人想象的都要纠结的男人。现在,英雄即将继续。

2. We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise? Or when we fall? Or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction? Is it evolution that takes us by the hand? Does science point our way? Or is it God who intervenes, keeping us safe?
——每个人都想象着做自己命运的主宰(agent代理人),能够决定我们自己的宿命。但是我们真能够掌控命运么(掌握什么时候起,什么时候落)?或者是存在一种比我们强大的力量在操纵(bid sb sth命令)我们的方向?是进化将我们玩弄于掌心之中?(take sb by the hand类似于 take sth in hand 承担,处理,尝试)科学会为我们指点迷津么?还是上帝插手来保全我们的安危?(intervene 介入)

3. You jumped off the roof of a 15-story building. You tried to kill yourself. You were a little wound up yesterday. But I thought you were just being you.
——jump off where从什么跳下去
——be wound up意思很模糊也很灵活的一个词,原型是 wind up,是指卷起,卷起就是收工,引申为完结。而过去分词型的wound up是指被缠绕,被卷起,也就是被什么事情吸引,在这里是指很亢奋的状态。这里是说,你昨天很亢奋,但是我认为你只是在表达真实的你。(有些字幕里翻译成受伤,是错误的,请注意wound做受伤讲的时候,是名词,或者动词原形,过去式和过去分词是wounded)

4. You were in the alley below.

5. 25 feet to a fire escape, I climbed up and carried you down. That's what happened. The rest is just crazy talk.
——注意的中文翻译有fire escape太平梯/ crazy talk胡说八道/ carry sb down用的很地道,不用take就是说是扛着一个人走的,有分量感。

6. -Well, I think it's time that I knew.
-Well, I have a few questions first,not the least of which is why now?
——knew 不是过去式,是一种虚拟语气。It is (high) time that 后面的从句谓语动词要用过去式或用should加动词原形,但should不可省略。
—— questions… not the least of which is 在这些问题中最重要的是

7.You know, I don't...mean this to be condescending. Even though you're gonna say I'm being condescending,but I really do believe that this is an adult decision.
——condescending故意屈尊,故意叫人领情的,这里指用恩赐的态度对待,也可以引申为高傲的, this is an adult decision这是大人的事情,可见高傲了吧

8.Look, here's my advice, if you'll indulge me. Just... keep things light and fun as long as you can…I just don't want you to be in such a hurry to grow up, okay?
——indulge sb迁就某人,if you’ll indulge me, just do sth这句话可以作为范例收藏,用于劝说。(不希望孩子很快长大,是每个家长的愿望)

9.It looks like some cockroaches might have infested your floorboards.
