這場戲：葬禮後眾人回羅尼家
第 21 章 · 共 25 章 · 3'36"
葬禮辦完，眾人回到羅尼家。有人堵在路上錯過儀式，被一句 I'll never forgive you（我永遠不會原諒你）半真半假地數落；外甥卡爾總是 out of the blue（毫無預兆）地冒出來，這回也沒趕上。大家一邊喝茶一邊聊琳達，Good job it didn't rain（幸好沒下雨）。想學葬禮後的安慰和寒暄，很真實。
「搞這一齣」英語怎麼說？pull a stunt

葬禮結束，眾人回到羅尼家。有人因為高速堵車遲到、錯過了儀式，被數落 I'll never forgive you for this（這事我永遠不會原諒你），又被說 I might have known you'd pull a stunt like this（我就知道你會來這麼一齣）。羅尼的外甥卡爾沒來，大家聊起他：Just turns up out of the blue（總是冷不丁冒出來），When he can be bothered（得看他心情）。喬打電話勸卡爾回家。隨後客人陸續進門，大家聊琳達的為人，說儀式簡單、實在，Nothing fancy（不搞花哨的），還慶幸 Good job it didn't rain（幸好沒下雨）。想學葬禮後的安慰、寒暄和閒聊，很生活。

把怨氣說成一句宣判，最後還追加反問逼對方接住。

一句認栽式埋怨，pull a stunt 把對方的小動作說得又好氣又好笑。
I might have known you'd ...
對熟人反覆犯的老毛病表示無奈時用；對上司說會顯得不客氣。

out of the blue 連讀加重，doesn't he 輕收。

下一章 · 22one of those things沒辦法的事這場戲：葬禮後家裡吵翻指「突然、毫無預兆」。臺詞說 Just turns up out of the blue，就是「他總是冷不丁就冒出來」，形容人來得毫無徵兆。
pull a stunt。臺詞說 I might have known you'd pull a stunt like this，就是「我就知道你會來這麼一齣」，常帶點無奈或責備。
take into account。臺詞說 Should have taken that into account，就是「你該把這個算進去」，表示事先把因素考慮好。
是「幸好、多虧」的意思。Good job it didn't rain 就是「幸好沒下雨」，和「幹得好」那個意思不同。
