給某人打電話
Okay. It's your turn. You call your friend.Before Sunrise · 1995 — 第 17 / 20 章 · 2'25" · B1
輪到他玩打電話的遊戲,他先學答錄機響鈴,再假裝跟朋友通話:馬德里糟透了,他和 Lisa 來了場 long-overdue meltdown(早該爆發的關係崩盤)。他不想見熟人,只想 be a ghost(想徹底隱身);話鋒一轉,又說最後一晚遇見了一個女孩。向朋友復盤分手、說想躲起來時用得上。
輪到他玩打電話的遊戲,假裝撥給朋友:馬德里糟透了,他和 Lisa 來了場 long-overdue meltdown(早該爆發的關係崩盤);那幾天他不想見熟人,只想 be a ghost(想徹底隱身),在人前完全不被認出。可他又說自己很好,因為最後一晚遇到了一個女孩,還把她說成 Botticelli angel(像天使一樣的人),一直在安慰他。向朋友復盤分手、順口提起新的心動,或形容想躲起來一個人待著,都能這麼說。

42 句台詞裡標了 25 處
給某人打電話
Okay. It's your turn. You call your friend.聽到某人的電話錄音
Um — Uh — Bring, bring, bring. I usually get this guy's answering machine. Brrring!老兄、哥們——朋友間招呼,正式場合別用
Hi, dude. What's up?how ya been 快說時連成一串,別逐詞拆開。
- Uh — Hey, Frank, how ya been? - (laughing) Glad you're home.糟透了——熟人抱怨時用,正式場合別用
Uh, Madrid sucked.早該爆發的關係崩盤
他假裝跟朋友通電話,說 Lisa 和自己來了場 long-overdue meltdown,等於承認這段關係積壓已久,語氣像認賬又像自嘲。
Uh, you know, Lisa and I had our long-overdue meltdown.異地戀這回事 thing 指異地戀這件事,不是東西
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The long-distance thing just never works.告訴某人原因
And I'll tell you why.賓語從句:how 引出俗話,後接完整從句;不是問方式。
And you know how they say we're all each other's demons and angels?tellin' 的尾音很輕,me 緊跟上去,別補完整 -ing。
Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel, just tellin' me that everything was gonna be okay.定語從句:that 從句修飾 couple,說明那對情侶開始吵架。
She was sittin' next to this very weird couple that started fighting, so she had to move.不太喜歡某人
And, uh, she didn't like me much at first.超級聰明——口語夸人,面試或公文少用
She's super-smart, very passionate, um, and beautiful.對自己沒底
他回憶初聊時的狀態:unsure of myself,覺得自己說的每句話都蠢。
And I was so unsure of myself.聽起來很蠢
I thought everything I said sounded so stupid.省略 that:thought 後省略 that;everything I said 作主語。
I thought everything I said sounded so stupid.別為那事擔心
Aw, man, I wouldn't worry about that.評判某人
- Nah. - Nah, I'm sure she was not judging you.不、才不——熟人隨口否定,比 no 更隨意
- Nah. - Nah, I'm sure she was not judging you.坐在某人旁邊
No. And by the way, she sat next to you, no?故意地(臺詞誤作 in purpose) 臺詞用 in purpose,標準搭配是 on purpose
- I'm sure she did it in purpose. - Oh, yeah?對某類人一無所知
Us men are so stupid. We don't understand anything about women.Us men are 連成一塊,men 和 are 中間別斷。
Us men are so stupid. We don't understand anything about women.表現得有點怪
They act kind of strange, the little I know of them.就我所知的那一點
他在收尾時自嘲:the little I know of them 裡的 them 指前面的 women,等於承認自己對女性瞭解不多,語氣像玩笑,也給「她們挺古怪」的概括留了餘地。
They act kind of strange, the little I know of them.I just wanted to be a ghost, completely anonymous.我只想做個幽靈,完全匿名。 把失戀後的逃避寫成幽靈意象,短而準。
I met somebody on my last night in Europe. Can you believe that?我在歐洲的最後一晚遇見了某個人。你信嗎? 把偶遇說成命運插曲,反問句拉朋友入戲。
Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel, just tellin' me that everything was gonna be okay.她簡直就是波提切利畫裡的天使,一直告訴我一切都會好的。 用名畫作比,把安慰說得既誇張又真誠。
Us men are so stupid. We don't understand anything about women.我們男人太蠢了,對女人一無所知。 自嘲式概括男女差異,像酒桌笑話,容易傳播。
指「早該爆發的關係崩盤」,問題積了很久,這次終於攤開。臺詞裡說 had our long-overdue meltdown,就是承認這場爆發拖了很久。
可以說 be a ghost。臺詞裡說 I just wanted to be a ghost, completely anonymous,就是隻想當沒人認得出的隱形人,不想見任何熟人。
rapturous 是「欣喜若狂的」,比 happy 強烈得多。臺詞裡先說 I'm great,接著說 I'm rapturous,把開心拉到很滿。
不只是。前一句先提「我們都是彼此的魔鬼和天使」,接著說她是個 Botticelli angel:既誇她美得像畫裡走出,也指她當時一直安慰他。
標準說法是 on purpose,反面是 by accident(不小心)。臺詞裡那句 in purpose 不是標準說法,別照著學。
