想要某人的電話號碼

私下盤問借住期限：find my feet
有人幫忙拎購物袋進門，隨後有人盤問對方打算借住多久，話裡全是試探。被問的人只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暫住到站穩腳跟）；後面一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我覺得這不關你的事）把話頂回去。想禮貌又不軟地守住邊界，這兩句現成能用。
發生了什麼
有人暫住金潔家，另有人拎著購物袋進門，先替埃迪傳話想約對方出去，有人用 I'm concentrating on school（心思都在學業上）擋掉；被問打算住多久，只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暫住到站穩腳跟），接著又出現 a big comedown（身份落差）這樣的試探。話題轉到精神崩潰，一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我覺得這不關你的事）把話頂回去，對方卻說自己要娶金潔了，兩人之間沒有秘密。後面聊到工作、學業和裝飾師課程，這些說法都能直接搬進日常對話。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意拒絕時先給理由還是先劃邊界
- 追問私事時語氣怎樣一步步變硬
- 看計劃被否時她怎樣把話接回來
留意這幾個短語

本章全部批註
75 句台詞裡標了 32 處
約某人出去（常指約會）
有人替埃迪傳話，說他想 ask someone out（約對方出去），還補一句 for dinner（吃晚飯），語氣熱絡，像在撮合。
I think he wants to ask you out, you know, for dinner.眼下，目前
Look, I'm busy at the moment. He's a terrific guy. Look at him.快說時 at the 壓得很輕，重音落在 moment 上。
Look, I'm busy at the moment. He's a terrific guy. Look at him.專心學業
Look, I'm concentrating on school, okay?對某事沒興趣
No, I have no interest in being a receptionist.心裡有某種打算
What did you have in mind, running a bank?間接疑問詞序：how long 後面用 you're planning，不倒裝成 are you；這是把問句嵌進句子時的正常詞序。
Is this what you wanted to talk about? And how long you're planning on staying with Ginger.站穩腳跟，適應新環境
有人被問打算住多久，只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暫住到站穩腳跟），意思是等自己安頓下來再說，把暫住說成一段過渡。
Oh, right. It's just till I find my feet.離開這裡
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.fast 收尾滑進 as，as 再連 I，整串別切碎。
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.掉價，身份落差
上一句有人說“No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.”；這句先用 I'm sure 裝作體諒，緊接 big comedown 點出對方從前的日子和眼前住處差得遠，客氣底下帶刺。
I'm sure this is a big comedown from what you're used to.感激某人的幫助
It's fine. it's-- I'm grateful for her help.精神崩潰
Ginger said you had a nervous breakdown.不關你的事
對方追問崩潰的舊事，有人先用 You know（你知道）緩一下，再回一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我覺得這不關你的事），把私事的門關上。
You know, I don't think that this is any of your business.原因狀語從句：since 在這裡等於“既然/因為”，帶出“我要娶她”這一前提，後面才推出“沒有秘密”。
No, but since I'm marrying her, we don't have any secrets between us.弱智的（侮辱）——極冒犯的罵人話，任何正式場合都別用
His retarded boyfriend wanted a date, but he was too shy to ask.對某人有意思/有慾望 不是熱度，是強烈好感
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.got the 的 t 很輕，hots 的 ts 收住，別逐詞咬死。
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.對某人有慾望——朋友間八卦用，正式場合別用
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.一見如故，合得來 不是打中，是一開始就合拍
I could tell you two didn't hit it off.窩囊廢/失敗者——熟人貶人時用，正式場合別用
He's another version of Augie. He's a loser.發瘋/受不了——熟人吐槽壓力，正式場合別用
I'd go nuts.不用動腦的枯燥工作
I can't just do some mindless job.省略定語從句：Friends 後面省了 who/that，直接跟 I'd had... 來限定是哪些朋友；拆成“我以前在公寓晚宴上請過的朋友”。
Friends I'd had at dinner parties at our apartment came in and I waited on them. I mean, do you have any idea what that's like?悄悄溜出去 不是滑倒，是悄悄離開
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.現在分詞短語：thinking 引出她溜走時的心理，等於 because she thought I didn't see her。不是“正在想”的主句動作。
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.品味很好
Hey, you got great taste.完全不會用電腦
對方說線上也能拿執照，有人先猶豫，再自嘲一句 computer illiterate（完全不會用電腦），語氣半承認半打退堂鼓。
I guess you could, but-- Yeah, I'm so computer illiterate.重音落在 computer 第二音節和 illiterate 第二音節，別平著念。
I guess you could, but-- Yeah, I'm so computer illiterate.上電腦課
But I could take a class in computers.去考/爭取一張執照
You know, first you gotta learn computers, and then go for a decorator's license online.看懂「私下盤問借住期限」
發音重點
- at the moment — 快說時 at the 壓得很輕，重音落在 moment 上。
- as fast as I — fast 收尾滑進 as，as 再連 I，整串別切碎。
- got the hots — got the 的 t 很輕，hots 的 ts 收住，別逐詞咬死。
- computer illiterate — 重音落在 computer 第二音節和 illiterate 第二音節，別平著念。
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.沒人比我更想離開這裡。 用“沒人比我更想”把急於逃離說得又狠又真，短句有勁。
You know, I don't think that this is any of your business.你知道，我覺得這不關你的事。 先墊 You know 和 I don't think，邊界說得禮貌卻一點不軟。
I wanna get my degree and become, you know, something substantial.我想拿到學位，成為，怎麼說，一個像樣的人。 把野心說得磕磕絆絆，you know 的停頓反而讓人物更真。
You know, one minute, you're hosting women and the next, you're measuring their shoe size and fitting them.你知道，前一分鐘你還在招待那些太太，下一分鐘就在給她們量鞋碼、試鞋。 one minute...the next 的對照把身份墜落寫成具體動作，畫面感強。
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.她看見我，替我難堪到極點，以為我沒看見，就溜走了。 用別人替你尷尬來寫羞恥，一個 slipped out 把逃避動作釘住。
關於這一章的問題
find my feet 是什麼意思？
指剛到新環境，慢慢適應、站穩腳跟。臺詞裡用來表示只是暫住，等安頓下來再說。
「不關你的事」英語怎麼說？
可以說 I don't think that this is any of your business（我覺得這不關你的事），語氣比直接說 none of your business（不關你的事）緩和一些；臺詞裡就是這樣把話題擋回去的。
big comedown 只是「下降」的意思嗎？
不只是，它是「身份落差、掉價」，指從原來的好生活掉到差很多的狀態；臺詞裡就是拿過去和現在作比較。
ask someone out 只能約吃飯嗎？
不，它常指約某人出去約會，吃飯只是常見安排。臺詞裡說想約人吃晚飯，就是這個意思。
hit it off 是什麼意思？
指兩個人一見面就合得來、聊得投機；臺詞裡說看得出兩個人沒 hit it off，就是沒合拍。
