這場戲：公佈成績後談暗戀
第 6 章 · 共 14 章 · 2'35"
老師在班上念每週測驗排名，巴迪拿了銅牌；放學路上他卻只惦記那個女孩。他一本正經說 When I grow up, I want to marry her（我長大了要娶她），長輩笑他 Women are very mysterious（女人太讓人捉摸不透）。想聊暗戀、跟朋友打趣，這兩句都好用。
「長大」英語是 grow up，巴迪說要娶她
grow up 長大done your research 做過功課、查過底細on my way home 在回家的路上
「一點點」英語是 a wee bit，笨一點就能坐一起
a wee bit 一點點、稍微shouting at 衝某人吼full of pretty answers 滿肚子漂亮話
老師當眾念出每週測驗的排名：小比利·克蘭頓只有17%，坐最後排；巴迪拿到銅牌，凱瑟琳繼續金牌。放學後，巴迪跟長輩聊起同班的女孩：她上課偶爾看他一眼，可課上不許說話 not allowed to talk，操場她又跟別的女孩玩。他說 Anyways, I think she loves that other fella（我覺得她喜歡另一個男的），又認真說 When I grow up, I want to marry her（我長大了要娶她）。被笑太天真，他反駁 If she were a wee bit more stupid like me（她要是稍微笨一點），兩人早坐一塊了。奶奶塞給他一枚三便士，他把那句 what's yours is mine（你的就是我的）學得活靈活現。
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。
“When I grow up, I want to marry her.”
等我長大，我要娶她。
小男孩把暗戀說成終身決定，天真和認真同時成立。
When I grow up, I want to ...
說童年夢想、鄭重許願時用；求婚這類正式場合別拿它當玩笑。

中性
grow up 連讀，marry her 一氣說完不停。
When I grow up, I want to fly the planes my dad fixes. 等我長大，我要開爸爸修的那種飛機。
“She looks at me sometimes, but we're not allowed to talk in the class, so I can't say anything.”
她有時會看我，可上課不許說話，我什麼也說不了。
三個轉折把暗戀的束手無策寫盡：有目光，沒機會，只能憋著。
X, but we're not allowed to ..., so I can't ...
解釋為什麼有話說不出口時用；找藉口推責任時別用。

一句暗戀的自我招供：偷偷張望卻始終沒被看見，傻氣又讓人心軟。
I try to ..., but ... never ...
說單相思、努力沒被察覺時能用；對當事人當面說會有點自憐，別用來博同情。
I keep looking her way, but she never notices me. ／ I try to catch her eye, but she never looks back.
中性
look in 連讀，never 重讀，sees me 一起收輕。
I try to say hi, but he never notices me. 我想打個招呼，可他從來沒注意到我。
下一章 · 07benefit of the doubt先往好處想這場戲：教巴迪分散下注字面是「你的就是我的」，後半句常接 and what's mine's me own。奶奶用它開玩笑，意思是你的歸我，我的還歸我。
可以說 a wee bit，wee 是北愛爾蘭和蘇格蘭口語裡「小」的意思，a wee bit more 就是「再多一點點」。
fella 是口語裡的「小夥子、那男的」，比 man 隨意。I think she loves that other fella 就是說「我覺得她喜歡另一個男的」。
它是句嚇唬人的狠話，意思是「把你臉打爛」。朋友之間多半是誇張開玩笑，正式場合別用。
來自希臘神話裡推石頭的西西弗斯，指永遠做不完、白費力氣的苦差，老師用它形容不肯用功的學生。
用 bloody，比如 her bloody homework（她那該死的作業）。它是英式輕罵，比髒話輕，但在正式場合仍不合適。
