在睡梦当中,我们有机会去设法解决那些在现实生活中所担忧的事情,可以借助这个不会产生任何现实后果的环境,去经历可能出现的最坏结果。
句子中的两个不定式短语 to work through 和 to play out 是并列关系,在采访的口语化环境下,关联词 and 被省略了。work through,它表示 to manage a problem that has many different parts step by step,“逐步解决一个困难的问题”;它的宾语 things that frighten us in real life 包含了 that 连接的定语从句,表示在梦里我们能够“逐步解决现实生活中我们担忧的那些事情”。接下来,play out 表示 sth. gradually takes place, “某事逐渐进行或者演化”。文中的 play out 是一个接近但不完全一样的意思,它表示让一件事情进行到底,尤其是在一个非现实的环境下。看到它的宾语: worst-case scenarios,“最坏的可能性,最糟糕的结果”,也就是说,另一方面,我们在梦里还可以“去预演/去经历最坏的可能性”。 学习资源 推荐的查音标网站:https://www.(牛津学习者词典)
