坦白馬德里失戀:let it sink in

旅途中有人問 So how about you?(那你呢?),被問的人沒直接答,先講起馬德里:攢錢飛過去,前女友卻想盡辦法 avoid being alone with me(避免和我獨處),他多待了一陣,讓這件事 let it sink in(慢慢消化)。聊舊感情、講自己怎麼熬過來,這兩句都用得上。

發生了什麼

旅途中,一人問 So how about you?(那你呢?),被問的一方先說愛情是兩個不會獨處的人的逃避,仔細想想沒有比這更自私的。對方回了一句 You sound like you've just been hurt(聽起來像剛受過傷),他才坦白:自己 save up(攢錢)一整個春天飛去馬德里,前女友卻想盡辦法 avoid being alone with me(避免和我獨處)。他多待了一陣,讓這件事 let it sink in(慢慢消化)。想聊舊感情、講失戀經歷時,這幾個說法都能用。

看懂「坦白馬德里失戀」

發音重點

  • how about you — about 的 t 快說時輕輕帶過,直接滑向 you
  • like you've — you've 夾在 like 和 just 之間,輕短帶過
  • let it — let it 兩個詞幾乎黏在一起,t 在母音間輕輕彈一下
Well, I kind of see love as this escape for two people who don't know how to be alone, you know?

嗯,我有點把愛情看成兩個不會獨處的人的逃避,你懂嗎? 把愛情從浪漫拉回孤獨,kind of 讓斷言變軟,像自我說服。

But if you think about it, there's nothing more selfish.

但你要是仔細想想,沒有比這更自私的了。 用 if you think about it 拉人入局,再甩出 nothing more selfish,短促有力。

and I stuck around for a while just to kinda let it really sink in that she wished I hadn't come.

我還多待了一陣,就為了讓‘她巴不得我沒來’這件事慢慢沉進心裡。 用 stuck around 和 sink in 寫自虐式清醒,越平靜越扎心。

You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you?

你知道被人分手最糟的是什麼嗎? 先問再答,把私人經驗變成可共享的洞察,聽者很難不接話。

I was paying her 900 francs an hour to hear that I was a homicidal maniac, but I could perhaps shift my obsession if I would concentrate on bright colors.

我每小時付她九百法郎,就為了聽她說我是殺人狂,不過要是我多盯著亮色看,也許能轉移執念。 把心理治療寫成荒誕交易,價錢、診斷、亮色並置,冷麵笑匠。

關於這一章的問題

let it sink in 是什麼意思?

意思是讓一件事慢慢被自己消化、真正意識到。戲裡說他多待了一陣,就是為了讓「她希望我沒來」這件事慢慢沉到心裡。

「避免和某人獨處」英語怎麼說?

可以說 avoid being alone with someone,意思是「避免和某人獨處」。戲裡說前女友頭幾天一直 avoid being alone with me,就是躲著不跟他單獨待在一起。

sound like 和 look like 有什麼區別?

sound like 是「聽起來像」,靠對方說的話或語氣判斷;look like 是「看起來像」,靠眼睛看。戲裡 You sound like you've just been hurt or something 就是聽口氣判斷對方像剛受過傷。

how little they're thinking about you 這句結構怎麼理解?

how little 是「(某事)有多麼少」,後面跟從句,這裡接 they're thinking about you,合起來就是「他們有多麼不在意你」,不是問數量。
