How can we get through this (situation)?
我们要如何度过这个(难关)呢?
讲到度过某个困难的时刻, 或许你的直觉反应是要用 pass 或是 overcome。 但是另外还有一个你想不太到的说法: get through 或是 pass through。 例如有一次我搭一个老美的车因超速被警察拦下来, 他就很紧张地说, "How can we get through this?" (结果最后他还是无助地被警察伯伯开了一张罚张。) 或是当有人遭逢不幸, 我就会安慰人家说: "No matter what's going to happen, we will get through this hard time together。" (不管再来会发生什么事, 我们都要一起过度难关。)
注意一下如果是要讲的是你已经遭遇过的事情, 则过去式 got through 和完成式 have been through 同样好用。 例如期末考好不容易结束了, 你可以松口气说, "I'm so glad I got through finals week" (我很高兴终于考完了) 或是 "I'm so glad I have been through finals week" (强调"已经"考完了) 。
