The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe sultan has all but welcomed Prince Ali as family. Alone with Genie, Aladdin takes that as proof the disguise works. He will not spend his last wish on freedom; he still needs the genie to hold the act up. Genie answers with a sarcastic Wow, then a warning: the more you gain by pretending, the less you actually have. He calls a master a friend, says the kid is breaking his heart, and vanishes into the lamp. Watch a last-wish promise get walked back as survival.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Wow. Got it all figured out now, huh, kid?”
哇。全想明白了,是吧,小子?
Wow 先抬一下,huh 再把「全懂了」翻成反话。
Got it all figured out, huh?
朋友自以为想通了、你其实觉得他没想通时。
So you've got it all worked out, have you? / All sorted now, huh?
informal
Wow 上扬,figured 咬重,huh 再往下损。
“The more you gain by pretending,”
靠装得到的越多,
半句先抬「得到」,下半句再抽空,哲理清楚。
The more you + 动词, the less you...
讲付出和收获成反比、劝人别再装时。
The more you fake it, the less you keep. / What you gain by acting isn't really yours.
literary
more 稍拉,gain 和 pretending 都重。
“You'd rather lie to somebody you love”
你宁愿对你爱的人撒谎
rather 把爱和谎言放同一杆秤上,指责很准。
You'd rather A than B
指出对方宁可选错的那一边时。
You'd rather keep the mask on than lose the room. / You'd rather stay quiet than tell her.
informal
rather 和 lie 重,love 落下。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI think maybe you don't get it. The more you gain by pretending, the less you're actually gonna have. called a master a friend. I broke the rules for you, I saved your life. And for what? You are breaking my heart here, kid. You're breaking my heart.
我觉得也许是你不懂。 靠装得到的越多, 你真正拥有的反而越少。 把主人当成朋友。 我为你破了规矩,我救了你的命。 结果呢? 你这是在伤我的心啊,小子。 你伤透了我的心。
