“糾結(jié)”用英語怎么說
Donny: Hey 吳瓊, congratulations! I heard you got a job offer.
吳瓊: 沒錯(cuò)，我昨天剛接到的通知! 這可是我夢寐以求的工作。
Donny: That's great! You must be very excited.
吳瓊: 不過啊，我還真有點(diǎn)猶豫。公司要我去美國待兩年，我舍不得離開這的朋友，可又不愿意放棄這個(gè)難得的機(jī)會(huì)， 實(shí)在很糾結(jié)。Donny, 糾結(jié)英文怎么說?
Donny: 你可以說，I am torn, t-o-r-n, torn.
吳瓊: Torn? 那不是被撕裂的意思?
Donny: Well, 一邊是熟悉的生活，另一邊是難得的機(jī)會(huì)，兩個(gè)你都不想放棄，it's like your heart is being torn in two different directions, right? 你也可以說 I'm on the fence.
吳瓊: Fence? 籬笆?
Donny: 對，中文里說舉棋不定，英語里說 on the fence 就好像騎在一堵圍墻上，不知道該向哪邊倒。
吳瓊: 我明白了。那你覺得我該怎么做呢?
Donny: Maybe you should ask yourself which is the lesser of two evils. Is it worse to give up your dream job or be away from your family and friends?
吳瓊: The lesser of two evils? 兩害相權(quán)取其輕?
Donny: That's right. Maybe when you think about it that way the answer will dawn on you.
吳瓊: Dawn on me? D-a-w-n，不是“黎明”的意思么?
Donny: dawn on me 好象黎明驅(qū)走黑夜，讓你把問題看清楚。
吳瓊: 啊，所以我可以說 it suddenly dawned on me. 恍然大悟。
Donny: Bingo. Now let's see what you've learned today.

第二， 兩害相權(quán)取其輕是 the lesser of two evils.
