問答遊戲互問情史：scare the hell out of someone
兩個人困在一起，乾脆玩起問答遊戲，規矩是百分百老實回答。講起夏令營的游泳少年，一句 It scared the hell out of me（把我嚇壞了）說的是被對方太好看嚇了一跳。輪到提問可以說 Hit me（問吧，我接著），也能用 I'll have you know（你聽好了）半認真半炫耀地抖出一段往事。
發生了什麼
兩個人困在一起，乾脆玩起問答遊戲，規則是每個問題都要百分百老實回答。第一個問題問到最初的性感覺，有人講起夏令營裡的游泳少年：勸他去跟 Emma 約會，他回答 I have a big crush on you，講述者說這讓自己嚇了一大跳——It scared the hell out of me（把我嚇壞了），因為覺得他太好看。愛情那道題只換來 Yes. Next question.（有。下一個問題。），有人抗議 went into such private details，也就是 go into details（詳細講述）的過去式。想接話可以說 Hit me（問吧，我接著），想半認真地炫耀就用 I'll have you know（你聽好了）。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意她講心動時細節越來越具體
- 注意他用一句話切斷愛情話題
- 比較直接問題與私密問題的措辭
留意這幾個短語

直截了當的問題
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.gonna ask 快說時連成一塊，ask 起音直接接上
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.百分百如實回答
- And you have to answer 100% honestly. - Of course.have to 裡 to 很輕，幾乎只佔半拍
- And you have to answer 100% honestly. - Of course.最初的性感覺
Describe for me your first sexual feelings towards a person.非常迷戀他
And my friend Emma had a big, big crush on him.out of me 中 of 很輕，氣從 out 滑向 me
So — Yeah. It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine.太好看了——口語誇外貌，朋友間常用，正式場合少用
So — Yeah. It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine.正式約我出去
And then he officially asked me out on a date.名詞性從句：what I might do 作 of 的賓語，等於“我可能會做的事”；別拆成兩個問題。
You know, I was so afraid of what I might do.愛情宣言
講到夏令營快結束時，講述者用 declarations of love 形容兩人互相寫下的情話；後面一句 Of course not 說明後來並沒有繼續寫。
You know, we kind of wrote these little declarations of love to each other at the end of the summer and過去將來：promised 後接 would + 動詞，表示從過去看將來會繼續寫；不是現在時。
promised we would keep writing forever and, like, meet again very soon.合適的時機
游泳少年的往事剛講完，一句 the opportune time 接上來，說自己碰巧也是個游泳好手；這個說法指「合適的時機」，比 a good time 更書面。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.碰巧是
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.賓語從句：that I happen to be 是 tell you 的賓語從句，說明要告訴你的內容；happen to be 表示碰巧是。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.Hit me 重音壓在 hit，me 短促收尾，t 別拖長
- Hit me. - Um...直接問吧——熟人之間表示“來吧”，正式場合別用
- Hit me. - Um...只答一個詞
- So we can give one-word answers? - Sure. Why not?詳細講私密細節
No, no. After I went into such private details about my first sexual feelings?編故事
有人說如果被問到愛情就會撒謊，但至少會 made up a great story（編個精彩的故事）；make up a story 就是憑空編出一段說得過去的故事。
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.虛擬過去：would have + 過去分詞表示對過去的假設：本來會撒謊，實際沒發生。
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.would have 快說時縮得很輕，lied 才是落點
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.複雜的問題
You would've lied! Great. Love is a complex issue.就性感覺而言
But as far as sexual feelings go,著魔般的痴迷關係
I'll have you know it started with an obsessive relationship with Miss July 1978.看懂「問答遊戲互問情史」
發音重點
- gonna ask — gonna ask 快說時連成一塊，ask 起音直接接上
- have to — have to 裡 to 很輕，幾乎只佔半拍
- out of me — out of me 中 of 很輕，氣從 out 滑向 me
- Hit me — Hit me 重音壓在 hit，me 短促收尾，t 別拖長
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.我們被困在一起，所以乾脆互相問幾個直接的問題。 把「沒得選」說成一條問答規則，既交代了處境，又露出兩人說話都直來直去。
And then he officially asked me out on a date.然後他正式約我出去約會。 officially 和 on a date 把少年輕描淡寫的邀約說得鄭重又可愛。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.那我想，現在正是告訴你我碰巧是個游泳好手的好時機。 opportune 與 fantastic swimmer 形成一本正經的調情，荒唐又自信。
Have you ever been in love?你愛過嗎？ 一句話直問到底，短到沒法繞開，也把整場問答從玩笑拉回正題。
You would've lied! Great. Love is a complex issue.你會撒謊的！好極了。愛情是個複雜的問題。 先戳穿對方會撒謊，再把愛情降格為 complex issue，語氣又損又無奈。
I'll have you know it started with an obsessive relationship with Miss July 1978.告訴你吧，這一切始於我和1978年七月小姐的一段痴迷關係。 用 I'll have you know 擺架子，再丟擲雜誌名，莊重和滑稽撞在一起。
關於這一章的問題
Why not? 是什麼意思？
字面是「為什麼不」，實際是爽快答應：「當然可以，有什麼不行？」臺詞裡有人問能不能一個詞回答，回了一句 Sure. Why not?，就是不介意。
「把某人嚇壞了」英語怎麼說？
說 scare the hell out of someone，hell 在這裡只是加強語氣。臺詞裡 It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine. 說的是對方太好看了，被自己的心動嚇一跳。
Hit me 一般用在什麼場合？
用在準備好、讓對方直接開口的時候，比如提問、給反饋。臺詞裡剛確認輪到誰提問，接著一句 Hit me，就是「問吧，我接著」。
想展開講細節，英語可以怎麼說？
用 go into details，也常說 go into detail，比如 I don't want to go into details（細節我不想多說）。臺詞裡 went into such private details 是講了很私密的細節，再反問對方為什麼只答一個詞。
love is a complex issue 在臺詞裡指什麼？
這句話把愛情說成一件複雜的事，後面接著展開：I have told somebody that I loved them before, and I had meant it；再問那份愛是不是 totally unselfish。
「就……而言」英語怎麼說？
用 as far as … goes，比如 as far as price goes（就價格而言）。臺詞裡 But as far as sexual feelings go, 把話題從愛情拉回最初的問題，常放句首，後面接逗號。
