情绪描写——紧张
1.直陈式表述
我们可以直接表达主人翁当时紧张或变得紧张的情绪。
①She was very nervous.
她非常紧张。
②Dart, who had at first been very tense, at last relaxed.
达特起初很紧张,终于放松了。
③When she heard the news she was heightening tension.
当她听到这个消息时,她加剧了紧张。
④I get very nervous because I’m using the expensive equipment.
我很紧张,因为我用的是昂贵的设备。
⑤Kay walked slowly toward this screen, feeling a growing tenseness.
凯慢慢地走向屏幕,感到越来越紧张。
⑥I am too nervous to speak out and just stand here, embarrassed and helpless, struggling in vain for the right thing to say.
我太紧张了,说不出话来,只是站在这里,尴尬而无助,徒劳地挣扎着想说正确的话。
2.描述性表述
常识告诉我们:人们紧张时,会心跳加速、脸色发红,严重的时候手心出汗、双腿颤抖、说话结巴。我们可以通过描述角色紧张时的表现来表达紧张。
①His heart beat wildly and his legs trembled.
他的心狂跳着,双腿颤抖着。
②He was about to respond when he felt his tongue tied and palms sweating.
他刚要回答,就觉得舌头打结,手心冒汗。
③As they were still out of breath and their heart beat wildly, they were consequently convinced that what happened just now was true.
因为他们还上气不接下气,心跳得厉害,所以他们相信刚才发生的事是真的。
④Some persons gain their goal and direction from their tensions and actually do better because of them.
有些人从紧张中获得目标和方向,实际上也因此做得更好。
3.比喻性表述
用like或as加喻体来表达紧张的方式属于明喻。将本体直接说成喻体的方式属于暗喻或借喻。
He shook all over, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
他浑身发抖,感觉如坐针毡。
4.夸张性表述
我们也可以运用我们的想象力,将紧张的情绪想象成有形事物进行描述,并加以放大。
①Tension flooded over him.
紧张情绪淹没了他。
②A flood of tension welled up in him.
一阵紧张的情绪涌上了他的心头。
③He was so nervous that he felt his throat tightened.
他紧张得喉咙发紧。
5.拟人式表述
我们也可以将紧张的情绪想象成一个人或是有生命的动物来描述它的言行。
①Tension slowly creeps upon him.
他慢慢感到紧张。
②The tension soon transmitted itself to all the members of the crowd.
紧张气氛很快传染给了人群中的所有人。
6.反语式表述
当然我们也可以把表达紧张的话语反过来说。
①He felt anything but relaxed.
他一点也不感到放松。
②He found no way to relax there.
他在那里找不到放松的方法。
got more and more nervous
turned pale
tonguetied
move an inch
frozen to the spot
