“You lost me”千万不要翻译成“你失去了我”!

年少不经事时

小小的心脏能装得下的烦恼

最常见可能是考试考砸了

不过最让人心碎的也许是

“我失恋了,我们失去了彼此”

看到“You lost me”

可别以为是恋人们分手时的控诉

“You lost me”千万不要翻译成“你失去了我”!


01

You lost me 是什么意思?


来看英文词典的解释:

You('ve) lost me means I don't understand or can't follow what you are saying, I am confused or bewildered.

这个表达的意思是:我没明白你说的话,或者是你说的太快了我没跟上,我很疑惑。

例:

I was with you for most of the story, but you lost me when you started talking about vampires.

你讲的故事我大部分能跟上,但是你开始讲吸血鬼时我就已经听不懂了。

It confused me.
