🔸3. “Please don’t go away. I remember things better with you. Look—P. Sherman, 42 . . . ohh . . . It’s there. I can feel it. I look at you and I’m home. Please, I don’t want that to go away. I don’t want to forget.”
🔹「go away」，“离开，离去”；「remember things better」，指“更能记得住事情”；「It’s there. I can feel it.」，字面意思是“它就在那儿，我能感觉到它”，这句话常常用在突然忘了什么词或者什么事情的情境中，类似于我们说“就是那个什么来着，我能想起来的”；「I’m home」，home是副词，所以可以直接接在be动词后面，I’m home在这里意思是“我就感觉回家了一样”。
🔹全句大意：“求求你不要走。我和你在一起更能记得住事情。你瞧——P. Sherman, 42，呃呃呃……就是什么来着，我能想起来的。我看着你的时候就像回家了一样。求求你了，我不想这种感觉消失，我不想再忘记事情了。”
🔸4. Suddenly, he heard crying and went to find its source. He found a fish swimming around in circles, talking quietly to herself.
🔹「heard crying」，指“听到喊叫的声音”；「found a fish swimming around in circles」，find sb. doing sth.，“发现某人正在做某事”，这里是说Nemo看到一条鱼在原地打转。
🔹全句大意：他突然听到喊叫的声音，然后他去找声音的来源。他发现了一条鱼正在原地打转，而且低声地自言自语。
🔸5. Suddenly it all came back to her—every bit of her journey with Marlin, and why they had traveled all the way to Sydney. “Nemo!” she said excitedly, remembering.
🔹「it all came back to her」，come back to sb.，指“某人突然想起某事”，这里是说Dory突然想起了一切；「every bit of 」，“一点一滴”。
🔹全句大意：突然，Dory全都想起来了，她这一路和Marlin旅途上的点点滴滴，以及为什么他们跑了这么远来到悉尼。她想起来Nemo了，并且大声喊出了他的名字。
🔸6. She held his face close in her fins. “You were dead. I saw you! And then here you are. I found you! You’re not dead. Your father—”
🔹「held his face close in her fins」，in her fins指“用她的鳍”，这里是说Dory用她的鳍把Nemo的脸紧紧抱着；「You were dead… You’re not dead.」，注意这两个不同的be动词时态，前面用的是were，因为Dory说的是之前的事情，之前他们都以为Nemo死掉了，而现在用are，是因为发现Nemo没有死。
🔹全句大意：Dory用她的鳍把Nemo的脸紧紧抱着，然后说：“你之前死了呀！我都看见了啊！结果现在你在这里，我找到你了，你还没死！你爸爸他——”
🔸7. “Nemo?” Marlin said, looking through the cloudy water. “Daddy!” called a faraway voice. Marlin looked hard into the distance. He could just make out Nemo—and Dory—swimming toward him.
🔹「a faraway voice」，faraway这个词是far away的合成词，意思是“遥远的”；「looked hard into the distance」，指“努力地、用力地往远处看”；「 make out」，指“辨认出、看出”。
🔹全句大意：Marlin看着浑浊的海水，不确定地问：“Nemo？”，一个遥远的声音喊道“爸爸！”Marlin拼命看向远处，他勉强能看到是Nemo和Dory正朝他游过来。
🔸8. The net dropped lower, catching fish after fish. Above, a machine on a fishing boat was pulling the net toward the surface, but it missed a small group of the fish, including Marlin. “Nemo! No!” Marlin cried. But the net had also missed Nemo.
🔹「fish after fish」，“一条又一条的鱼”；「pulling the net toward the surface」，pull是“拉、拽”，所以这里是说把网朝水面上拉；「 missed」在这里表示“没抓住”。
🔹全句大意：网往下撒了些，抓住了一条又一条的鱼。在上面，有艘渔船上的机器正在把网往水面上拉，但是有一群鱼没被抓住，包括Marlin。Marlin喊着自己儿子的名字，但是还好Nemo也没被抓住。
