這場戲：發現恨錯了物件
第 22 章 · 共 22 章 · 4'56"
追車逼停後，塞蕾娜要親手了結兩人，結果一聽才發現，這倆活寶壓根兒不是來害她的——他們滿腦子只想跟她上床。她一句 You were never out to get me（你壓根兒不是來害我的），把誤會當場戳破。想學「存心針對」「我認賬」這類地道說法，這段又好笑又好用。
恨了二十四年才懂：out to get（存心加害）
out to get 存心加害、專門針對guilty as charged 說得沒錯、我認賬hanging on to 緊抓不放、耿耿於懷way of life 生活方式、活法
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 證人 not going anywhere（哪兒也別想去），救宇宙卻扔磚也行
Make haste 趕緊、麻利點not going anywhere 哪兒也別想去done being 受夠了一直當……in absolute terms 就絕對數值而言
❝ 獨白 · 5 句 使者的自我吐槽
一本正經地承認多此一舉，最後自己拆自己的臺。
追車逼停，塞蕾娜放話：二十四年前兩人差點毀了她。可兩個活寶以為這是求愛，興奮地說 we are about to score with thee（我倆馬上就要跟你搞上了）。塞蕾娜一愣，隨即恍然大悟——You were never out to get me（你們壓根兒不是來害我的），並宣佈 These boys aren't my enemies（這倆不是我的敵人），只是又蠢又發情的小屁孩。這邊平行宇宙的聰明版兩人開啟傳送門，聲稱只有他倆進去才能救宇宙，官方卻堅持他們是證人不許走。最後大家才發現，傳送門扔塊磚頭進去也行——我們把它弄得比實際複雜多了。想表達「存心針對」「我認賬」「耿耿於懷」，這場收尾戲都能學到。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“Our little dance of seduction is now complete.”
我們這場調情的小舞曲，到此跳完了。
把一場誤會收成一支“舞曲”，諷刺裡透著體面。
our little ... is now complete
給一段拉扯或鬧劇收尾時用；語氣帶諷刺，別在真誠道歉時說。
Our little game is finally over. ／ Our little show is now complete.
literary
little 輕讀，complete 落在句尾重音。
Our little game of cat and mouse is now complete. 我們這場貓鼠遊戲，現在收場了。
“Oh, my God. You were never out to get me.”
天哪。原來你從來就不是衝我來的。
一個 never 把二十年的誤會翻了個面。
You were never out to ...
恍然大悟、發現一直誤會對方時用，語氣又驚又鬆一口氣。
You were never trying to hurt me. ／ You were never against me at all.
口語
never 重讀，out to 連讀。
You were never out to embarrass me, were you? 你從來就不是想讓我難堪，對吧？
“- These boys aren't my enemies, and they're not aliens out to destroy our way of life.”
這兩個男孩不是我的敵人，也不是來毀滅我們生活方式的外星人。
把“敵人”和“外星人”並排拆掉，一句話卸下整場追殺。
These ... aren't my enemies; they're just ...
當眾給人重新定性、收回敵意時用，語氣正式，適合公開表態。
They're not our enemies. ／ They're no threat to us at all.
正式
aren't 弱讀，way of life 三詞連貫。
These kids aren't my rivals, and they're not out to ruin our club. 這些孩子不是我的對手，也不是來毀我們社團的。
“They're just two very, very stupid and horny teenagers.”
他們只是兩個特別、特別蠢、滿腦子那事的少年。
重複的 very 把大反派瞬間降格成兩個傻少年。
They're just two very, very ... teenagers.
給被神化的物件祛魅時用，語氣帶笑，別用來當面罵人。
They're just silly kids. ／ They're nothing but horny teenagers.
口語
兩個 very 各停頓，teenagers 收得輕。
They're just two very, very overpaid consultants. 他們不過是兩個薪水高得離譜的顧問罷了。
“- I can't believe I've been hanging on to this for 24 years.”
我真不敢相信，這件事我竟攥了二十四年。
把執念說成“攥著不放”，時間一出來就心酸又好笑。
I can't believe I've been ... for so long.
發現自己在舊事上耗太久時用，語氣自嘲，適合跟朋友坦白。
I can't believe I've kept this for so long. ／ I've been carrying this for years.
中性
can't believe 連讀，hanging on to 一氣呵成。
I can't believe I've been holding on to that grudge for ten years. 我真不敢信，那點怨氣我居然記了十年。
“I am done being a laughingstock.”
我再也不想當那個笑話了。
be done being 比 I don't want 狠得多，一句劃清底線。
I am done being ...
受夠某種身份、當場表態時用，語氣強硬，適合爭執中收尾。
I refuse to be the joke anymore. ／ I'm done being laughed at.
口語
done 重讀，being 輕帶過。
I am done being the office scapegoat. 我再也不當辦公室的替罪羊了。
“- It's safe to say, we were making it more complicated than it needed to be.”
可以這麼說，我們把它弄得比本來需要的複雜多了。
用一句總結給全片最大的烏龍蓋章，冷靜裡全是笑點。
It's safe to say, we were ... than it needed to be.
事後復盤一個被做複雜的決定時用，語氣剋制，適合總結教訓。
It's safe to say we overthought it. ／ We made it harder than it had to be.
中性
safe to say 後稍停，needed to be 收在弱讀。
It's safe to say we made the booking more complicated than it needed to be. 可以這麼說，我們把訂票這事搞得過分複雜了。
You have mere seconds to enter the portal. - Only by the two of you entering this portal can our universes be saved. - Otherwise, the entire cosmos shall perish forever. Make haste.
你們只剩幾秒鐘進入傳送門。 - 只有你們倆進入這道傳送門，我們的宇宙才能得救。 - 否則，整個宇宙都將永遠毀滅。 快點。
- We thought it needed to be the two of you to go through the portal. But I guess anything would have worked. We could have thrown a brick in there. - It's safe to say, we were making it more complicated than it needed to be. - While we are the smartest Beavis and Butt-Head in all the cosmos, in absolute terms, we're still not so bright.
- 我們原以為必須你們倆穿過傳送門才行。 但看來隨便什麼都行。 我們哪怕扔塊磚頭進去都成。 - 可以說，我們把它弄得比實際需要的複雜多了。 - 雖說我們是全宇宙最聰明的癟四和大頭蛋，但按絕對標準，我們也沒多聰明。
意思是「存心加害、專門針對」，常說 someone is out to get me，感覺全世界都在針對自己。塞蕾娜以為兩人穿越時空是來害她的，最後才發現自己想多了。
guilty as charged。原本是法庭上承認指控的說法，日常也能半開玩笑地用，表示「你說得沒錯，我認」。戲裡癟四用它承認自己就是想上床。
hang on to，字面是緊緊抓住，引申為對某件事放不下、一直記著。塞蕾娜說自己 hang on to this 24 years，就是念念不忘這件事二十四年。
前面一路被追車，有人卻說追他們的人「只是出門逛街、變速箱卡在倒擋」，用最普通的日常理由解釋最離譜的場面，反差就是笑點。
Hold your fire。這是命令式說法，意思是先別射擊、暫停開火，常見於戰爭片和警匪片。戲裡塞蕾娜要親手了結兩人，喝令手下 Hold your fire。
