地道表达:It hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body.身体非常寒冷,痛得犹如遭受千刀万剐。
这是露丝想要跳到海里时,杰克向露丝讲述掉进冰冷的水里的感受。

and I'm telling you…
我跟你说啊。
water that cold, like right down there.
掉进那么冷的水里。
it hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body.
有如被千刀万剐一样。
You can't breathe, you can't think.
你没法呼吸,没法思考。
at least not about anything but the pain.

Which is why I'm not looking forward to jumping in there after you.
所以,我不是很希望跟着你跳下去。
地道表达:a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body千刀万剐。这个说法非常形象,和中文的意思一样,如果一千把刀子刺过全身,冷得彻骨。2012美出产了一部科幻恐怖片,片名也叫《千刀万剐》,其英文名也很形象,A Thousand Cuts。当然,在这部影片中,a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body是用来形容寒冷。那么,表示寒冷还有其他哪些方式呢?
