追問前任聊到心理醫生:a real prizewinner

一人問對方在巴黎有沒有人等著,對方說半年前剛分手。追問之下,前任被損成 a real prizewinner(真是個極品):又蠢又醜、床上不行、還是個酒鬼;再往下講,去看 shrink(心理醫生)時一篇殺男友的舊稿,讓醫生說必須報警。想損人又不想說得太正經,就學這個反諷。

發生了什麼

一人問另一人有沒有在跟誰交往,巴黎那邊有沒有人等著;另一人說現在沒有,但半年前剛分手。追問之下,前任被損成 a real prizewinner(真是個極品):又蠢又醜、床上不行、還是個酒鬼。後來講到去看 shrink(心理醫生),順口提到自己寫過一篇女人殺男友的故事,細節細到怎麼下手、怎麼不被抓。醫生聽完說必須報警,隨後有人評價她 out of her mind(完全瘋了)。最後說 I totally got over him(徹底放下他了),卻又擔心對方會在千里之外出意外。

死於意外

But now I'm obsessed that he's gonna die from an accident a thousand kilometers away.

  • from an — from an 快讀時常連成一團,別在兩個詞之間停。
  • don't really — don't 的 t 在 really 前輕輕帶過,重音壓在 really 上。
I mean, I'm not that sorry. But tell me about him.

我是說,我也沒那麼遺憾。不過跟我說說他吧。 先按套路道歉,再立刻撤回,一句就把八卦的興致和假同情寫活。

I thought this one would last for a while.

我本以為這一個能撐一陣子。 用 this one 把前任說成試用裝,失望和自嘲都藏在輕描淡寫裡。

It was my first and last session.

那是我第一次,也是最後一次去。 first and last 輕輕一合,就把一次災難體驗釘成結論,乾淨好笑。

But now I'm obsessed that he's gonna die from an accident a thousand kilometers away.

可現在我又老想著,他會在千里之外死於一場意外。 從分手轉到離奇災禍想像,誇張距離和細節讓焦慮顯得既荒謬又真實。

Why is it you become obsessed with people you don't really like that much?

為什麼你偏偏會放不下那些你其實沒那麼喜歡的人? 把難堪的執念翻成一個普遍問題,帶笑也帶刺,適合當結束句。

關於這一章的問題

a real prizewinner 是什麼意思?

字面是「真正的獲獎者」,聽起來像夸人。但前面剛列了一串毛病,緊接著說 a real prizewinner,其實是用反諷說對方是「極品」,損人不帶髒字。

not that sorry 是在認真道歉嗎?

不是。臺詞裡先有一句 I'm sorry,緊跟著又說 I mean, I'm not that sorry,把歉意往回收,意思是其實沒那麼抱歉;後半句 But tell me about him 才轉回去問前任。

shrink 是「縮小」的意思嗎?

這裡不是「縮小」,是口語裡的名詞,指心理醫生。臺詞說 went to see this shrink,就是去看心理醫生;語氣隨便,正式場合更常說 therapist 或 psychiatrist。

「放下他」英語怎麼說?

可以說 get over someone,過去式是 got over him。臺詞裡 I totally got over him 就是從這段感情裡走出來;不過下一句馬上又說自己擔心對方出意外。

it came up that 裡的 it 指什麼?

it 是形式主語,真正的內容在後面的 that 從句裡。it came up that... 的意思是「談話中碰巧提到……」,臺詞裡就是聊到看心理醫生時,提到自己寫過一個故事。
