TED演讲稿:How we talk about love(节选)作者:Mandy Len Catron
And specifically.
I want to talk about what' s wrong.
with how we talk about love.
Most of us will probably fall in love a few times.
over the course of our lives.
and in the English language, this metaphor, falling.
is really the main way that we talk about that experience.
I don't know about you.
but when I concept ualize this metaphor.
what I picture is straight out of a cartoon...
like there's a man.
he's walking down the sidewalk.
without realizing it, he crosses over an open manhole.
and he just plummets into the sewer below.
And I picture it this way because falling is not jumping.
Falling is accidental, it is uncontrollable.
It is something that happens to us without our consent.
And this is the main way we talk about starting a new relationship.
今天我想谈谈,我们是如何谈论爱情的。特别是,想聊下我们谈论爱情时犯的错误。我们大多数人在一生中会不止一次坠入爱河,而在英语中,我们使用“坠入”一词,常来形容恋爱的体验。我不知道你们怎么想的,但我脑海中所浮现的画面完全和卡通片一样:有一个人,他走在人行道上,不经意间走过一个井口,然后直接跌进了下水道。我这样想象是因为“坠入”与“跳入”不同。“坠入”是意外的,是不可控制的。它的发生是未经我们自己允许的。而这就是我们讨论一段新恋情时的描述方式。
