The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLucy storms into Harry's apartment screaming. She has read his novel, and it is their affair with the names barely changed: Jane to Janet, Lucy to Leslie. Marvin has left her. She reads the cruelest pages aloud, then says she came to blow her brains out on his carpet. When Harry tells her she is not the dramatic type, she decides it is better to kill the black magician who turns misery into gold. They end up on the roof with a gun. Watch how loosely based is offered as a defense and becomes the accusation.

我知道它有多「大致取材」，比如你瞎眼的奶奶有一天撞见咱们在做爱？
00:57
No, no, of course, of course.
不，不，当然，当然。
00:59
You made a few stupid exaggerations, or, you know, as the critics say, "inspired comic flights."
你不过做了几处愚蠢的夸张，或者，你知道，用评论家的话说，「灵感迸发的喜剧神来之笔」。
01:06
But Jane recognized it.

It was not simply that Leslie had become numbed with the inane spate of leaden perceptions that passed for wit from Marvin.
并不只是莱斯利已经被马文那些冒充风趣的沉闷见解灌得麻木了。
02:02
It was not even the image she shared wickedly with Ken of Marvin's flaccid, microscopic member, jiggling up and down as he bounced naked on tiptoes across the rugless, icy floor of their Connecticut home to close the storm windows.
甚至也不是她坏心地跟肯分享的那个画面：马文那根软塌塌、小得可怜的家伙，他光着身子踮脚蹦过康涅狄格家里没铺地毯的冰凉地板去关挡风窗，那东西跟着上下晃。
02:17
It was that she had never loved him, but wanted to have children to retaliate against her older sister, who did not have a maternal bone in her being and whose every inch, Leslie felt, was occupied by gluttonous self-love.
而是她从来没爱过他，只想生孩子报复姐姐——姐姐身上没有一点做母亲的细胞，莱斯利觉得她每一寸都被贪得无厌的自恋占满了。
02:31
Ken ran his hand over Leslie's large round breasts and mounted her from the rear.
肯的手抚过莱斯利又大又圆的乳房，从后面上了她。

One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passage❝ 当众朗读小说

It was not even the image she shared wickedly with Ken of Marvin's flaccid, microscopic member, jiggling up and down as he bounced naked on tiptoes across the rugless, icy floor of their Connecticut home to close the storm windows. It was that she had never loved him, but wanted to have children to retaliate against her older sister, who did not have a maternal bone in her being and whose every inch, Leslie felt, was occupied by gluttonous self-love.
