1.3句子解析
🌊1. Then Bruce noticed Marlin out of the corner of his eye.
🐟 「out of the corner of his eye」意思是“眼角瞥到”；「corner」意思是“角落”；举个例子，I saw her watching her mobile phone out of the corner of my eye.
🐟整句话的意思是：然后Bruce眼角瞥到Marlin.
🌊2. Excited to see that he was a clownfish, the sharks asked Marlin to tell them a joke.
🐟「 Excited to see that…」这部分修饰the sharks，意思是鲨鱼们看到Marlin是一条小丑鱼非常激动；
🐟「 tell them a joke」这个短语意思是“给他们讲一个笑话”，注意“讲笑话（tell a joke）”、“讲故事（tell a story）”都需要用动词tell，而不是say或者speak。
🐟因为clownfish的名字里含有clown（小丑）这个单词，而clowns在各种活动中多是扮演逗大家笑的角色，所以鲨鱼们想当然地觉得clownfish也是很逗的段子手，非常期待Marlin能讲个段子说个相声什么的~
🐟全句大意：鲨鱼们看到Marlin是一条小丑鱼非常激动，强烈要求让Marlin给他们讲个笑话。
🌊3. That was when he noticed something hanging from a broken piece of the submarine. It was a diver’s mask!It was the same mask that had dropped into the water when Nemo was taken away.
🐟「 That was when…」意思相当于“正在那时”；「 hanging from」这个短语表示“挂在……上”。所以这部分是说正在那时，Marlin注意到有个东西挂在潜水艇一处坏掉的地方。
🐟「 that had dropped into the water when Nemo was taken away」这部分修饰说明mask，而「when Nemo was taken away」这部分是说明这件事发生的时间，所以这部分意思是“这正是Nemo被带走时掉在水中的那个面罩”。
🐟全句大意：正在那时，Marlin注意到有个东西挂在潜水艇上坏掉的一块地方。那是一个潜水面罩，正是Nemo被带走时掉在水中的那一个。
🌊4. The shark felt sad, thinking of poor little Nemo separated from his dad. He started to cry as Marlin and Dory swam closer to the mask.
🐟「poor」在这里是意思是“可怜的”；举个例子哈：The little match girl is so poor indeed.（卖火柴的小女孩实在是太可怜了。）这部分补充说明鲨鱼觉得悲伤的原因，是想到可怜的小Nemo和自己的爸爸分开了。「separated from his dad」这部分说明的是Nemo的情况；
🐟「swam closer to」，swam是swim的过去式，因此这里是说Marlin和Dory游得离面罩更近了一些。
🐟全句大意：鲨鱼想着可怜的小Nemo和自己的爸爸分开了，觉得很悲伤。当Marlin和Dory朝面罩游去的时候，鲨鱼都哭起来了。
🌊5. Marlin pulled one side of the mask, and Dory pulled back in the other direction. The mask hit Dory in the face.
🐟「in the other direction」意思是“朝另一个方向”；
🐟「hit Dory in the face」意思是“打到了Dory的脸”，注意打在脸上介词并不是用on，而是用in哦~大家可以这样想，被打的时候肉会凹进去，所以就是“in”。
🐟全句大意：Marlin拉住面罩的一边，而Dory则往另一个方向拉回去。然后面罩就弹回去打到了Dory脸上。
🌊6. “Intervention!” shouted Anchor and Chum. Just as Bruce tried to bite Dory, the other two sharks pulled him away. His teeth closed right behind Dory’s tail.
🐟「 Intervention!」这个词字面义是“干预”，在这里是Anchor和Chum需要出面干预Bruce，否则他就要吃掉Dory了，所以相当于他们大叫“快阻止他！”；
🐟「Just as」意思是“正当……的时候”；
🐟「pulled him away」意思是“把他拉走了”，away这个词有“远离”的含义，可以和很多动词组合，比如：go away（走开），get away（逃走）；
🐟「 right behind」，right表示强调，所以这个短语意思是“正好就在……后面”。
🐟全句大意：Anchor和Chum大喊着“快阻止他！” 正当Bruce快要咬到Dory的时候，另外两条鲨鱼把他拉开了。他的牙齿刚好在Dory的尾巴后面合上。
🌊7. She slowly read the letters written near a broken-down door. “E-S-C-A-P-E. I wonder what that means?” she asked herself out loud.“It’s funny because it’s spelled just like the word escape!”
🐟「written near a broken-down door」这部分修饰说明the letters，意思是这些字母是写在一个坏掉的门旁边的
🐟「 asked herself out loud」，out loud指“大声地”，比如我们平时听到的“LOL”指的就是laugh out loud（哈哈大笑），因此这里是说Dory很大声地问自己；
🐟「spelled just like the word escape」，just like意思是“就像”，这部分意思是Dory觉得这个单词拼写就像escape这个单词一样。——这一个细节说明了两个问题，第一就是Dory是可以read human（阅读人类文字）的，也就是她其实会认会拼写英文单词，第二就是Dory真的脑子不太好使~escape这个单词都已经拼出来了，还只是觉得有点像，而且她还忘记了自己会认英文单词这件事。
🐟全句大意：Dory慢慢地读出了写在一扇坏掉的门旁边的字母“E-S-C-A-P-E”，她很大声地问自己“这是啥意思啊？”然后她又说：“这拼写怎么这么像escape这个单词，好搞笑！”
🌊8. Just then Bruce forced his way out of the submarine. He bit down, just barely missing the two fish and catching the mask between his teeth.
🐟「forced his way out of the submarine」，force one’s way out of…这个结构表示“从……挤出来”，这里是说Bruce从潜水艇里挤了出来；
🐟「 just barely」意思是“仅仅、勉强”，「 just barely missing」结合上下文的字面意义为“勉强没咬到”，翻译为更流畅的中文即为“差点咬到了”。
🐟全句大意：正在那时，Bruce从潜水艇里挤了出来。他一口咬下来，差点咬到这两条鱼，但他的牙齿却把面罩咬走了。
🌊9. There! It was a torpedo tube at the side of the submarine. Bruce could never fit inside. Marlin led Dory into the tube. But their escape was blocked by a heavy torpedo.
🐟「 at the side of」，意思是“在……的一侧”；
🐟「could never fit inside」，fit意思是“适合、装得下”，所以这里是说那个鱼雷发射管里面绝不可能装得下Bruce，也就是Bruce绝对进不了；
🐟「was blocked by」，指“被……堵住了”。
🐟全句大意：在那儿！在潜水艇的一侧有一根鱼雷发射管。Bruce绝对进去不了。Marlin带着Dory进了那根管子，但他们的逃生之路（escape）被一颗大鱼雷挡住了。
