She crys, she weeps, she starts to cry. 一说流泪或哭,这是我们最常见的表达方式了。
但是说到那种泪里擒泪,泪里饱含泪水这种状态,或者泪奔的这种状态,多数人还是描述不出来的。
今天开始,我会介绍一系列的关于泪目、泪奔的表达方法。
- Well up
to fill up or gush with something, such as water.
等于充满某物,比如水。动词
例,Dian's face crumpled, tears welled up in her eyes and threatened to fall.
Dian的脸皱成一团,眼里满含泪水,眼瞅着就要流下来了。
例,Dian's eyes welled up with tears.
Dian的眼睛擒着泪/充满泪水。
例,Tears welled up in her eyes, and Dian let them stream down her cheeks.
Dian任凭眼里满含的泪水顺着脸颊流下来。
当然well up 的不一定是泪眼。
比如这句, She felt fear well up in her throat and tears burning her eyes.
恐惧在她的咽喉处聚积,眼泪在炙痛她的眼睛。
为什么恐惧在喉咙处聚积嘞,因为我们在感到极度恐惧的时候喉咙有结块(lump)的感觉。
再来一句,Dian felt all kinds of emotions welling up inside her.
Dian感到各种情感在她身体里聚集。
- Pool
Pool本身就有池子的意思,做为动词可以代表 to form a pool。
请看示例:
Unstemmed tears pooled in her eyes as she spoke of the husband and daughter she had to bury four weeks ago, after a devastating helicopter crash in Calabasas, Calif., killed Kobe and Gigi Bryant, along with seven others on board the aircraft.
说起4周前她埋葬的丈夫科比和女儿的时,不住的泪水积聚在瓦妮莎的双眼中。一次在Calabasas的直升机坠毁事件中,科比和Gigi不幸罹难,一起被夺走生命的还有其它7位在机上的人员。
这里unstemmed= unstopped
例, "Sometimes tears pooled in Hassan's eyes as I read him this passage. 这是《追风筝的人》里面的一句。
- Teary/Watery Eyed 形容词
比如,I got a little teary-eyed at the end of the movie. 影片结尾的时候我有一点泪目了。
比如,teary-eyed wedding guests. 泪目的婚礼来宾。
比如,She said goodbye to her teary-eyed mother. 她向满眼泪水的老娘说再见。
另外,还有几个常用的动词,就不拎出来大段说了。
Wet
His eyes were wet with tears 他湿润的眼睛充满泪水。
Form
比如,Tears started to form in his eyes.
Fill
比如,Her eyes filled with tears.
还有, Her eyes were full of tears.
Tears in her eyes.
泪目的表达方式先聊这么多。
接下的一篇,说“泪奔”的表达方式。
我们会说到, shed, burst, force..... 等等
“人这一辈子, 不管活成什么样子,都不要把责任推给别人,一切喜怒哀乐都是自己造成。生命是一种回声。把最好的给予别人,就会从别人那里获得最好的;帮助的人越多,得到的也越多。”
很喜欢的一段话分享一下。
