Where do you think Mom is tonight?Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 12 / 15 章 · 2'42" · C1
茉莉一邊照看兩個男孩,一邊把自己的半生講成一段獨白:哈爾當年 swept me off my feet(把我迷得神魂顛倒),可他的成功又 too good to be true(好得不像真的)。想聊愛情開場、聊一個人怎麼從風光到崩潰,這裡全是能直接搬走的說法。
茉莉照看兩個男孩,從媽媽今晚有約會聊到看孩子掙外快,話題很快轉到她自己的過去。她講到哈爾時用了 swept me off my feet(把我迷得神魂顛倒),也說自己不想只當 mindless consumer(沒頭沒腦的消費者)。後來她說到焦慮、精神崩潰和 Edison's Medicine(電擊療法的黑色別稱),最後一句 I'm a new person(我已經脫胎換骨了)把過去一把收住。想學怎麼用英語講經歷、講錢、講崩潰,這一大段很值得跟。
這場戲看什麼
留意這幾個短語

本章短語
把我迷得神魂顛倒charmed me completely
她向孩子講哈爾時,用 swept me off my feet 把婚姻的開頭縮成一首歌和一次心動,像在給自己找回一點體面;語氣軟下來,也像提前替後面的事找臺階。
The way he remembered every tiny detail totally swept me off my feet.他記得每個小細節,徹底把我迷住了。
掙外快
我不會說我不喜歡(其實喜歡)
電擊療法的黑色別稱
正當的;不藏貓膩
好得不像真的

你覺得……在哪裡
Where do you think Mom is tonight?有約會
Oh, she's got a date tonight.想知道……到底
Oh, that's cool. I wonder where she is.gonna 輕快帶過,重音放到 babysit,you 收得短
I'm gonna babysit you. I'm a good babysitter.掙外快
她勸孩子也該去替人看孩子,把 make extra money 說成零花錢的正路,語氣像在傳授人生經驗,還帶一點闊太太下凡的口吻。
It's how you make extra money.把我迷得神魂顛倒
她向孩子講哈爾時,用 swept me off my feet 把婚姻的開頭縮成一首歌和一次心動,像在給自己找回一點體面;語氣軟下來,也像提前替後面的事找臺階。
And Hal, my husband, he swept me off my feet.讓人生有所作為
Yeah, but I always wanted to do something with my life.看下午場演出或電影
I didn't just shop and lunch and go to matinees.經營慈善機構
You know, I ran charities for poor people and, you know, raised some money for museums and schools.為……籌了一筆錢
You know, I ran charities for poor people and, you know, raised some money for museums and schools.有了X就帶來Y
You know, with wealth comes responsibilities.完全倒裝:正常語序是 responsibilities come with wealth;倒裝後像格言,強調條件。
You know, with wealth comes responsibilities.重音落在 wealth 和 responsibilities,comes 別搶拍
You know, with wealth comes responsibilities.所謂的朋友
I wasn't just some mindless consumer like so many of my so-called friends.靠小費過日子
Tip big, because you get good service and they count on tips.獲得大筆財富
You know, someday when you come into great wealth, you must remember to be generous.精神失常;瘋了——熟人轉述舊事時用,別當面說病人
Mom said you used to be okay, but you got crazy.跑到街上;上街發洩 這裡更像是崩潰後跑到街上,不是有組織抗議
Well, there's only so many traumas a person can withstand until they take to the streets and start screaming.until 從句:only so many X 先給出上限,until 從句說明越過上限那一刻會怎樣。
Well, there's only so many traumas a person can withstand until they take to the streets and start screaming.讓你腦子清醒過來
Because they use electricity to get you thinking straight.精神崩潰
You know, I had nightmares and a nervous breakdown.完全正當、沒有貓膩 字面像‘在桌面上’,這裡指賬目和交易乾淨
Of course, you know, I probably did suspect that not everything Hal did was always 100-percent aboveboard.好得不像真的
她笑著承認哈爾的成功 too good to be true,順到不可能沒鬼;這句自嘲其實在替自己開脫,也把早該懷疑的責任推給常識。
Christ, I mean, you'd have to be an idiot not to think his phenomenal success was too good to be true. Heh, heh, heh.反諷條件句:反著說:不這麼想就是傻瓜,懷疑成了常識。
Christ, I mean, you'd have to be an idiot not to think his phenomenal success was too good to be true. Heh, heh, heh.flipped 尾音滑進 out,兩個詞連成一口氣
And when he had other women, I just flipped out.事情一件接一件地發展
You know, and one thing led to another and...Well, there's only so many traumas a person can withstand until they take to the streets and start screaming.一個人能承受的創傷有限,忍到頭就會上街尖叫。 把崩潰寫成有額度的物理過程,冷靜又駭人。
But a cheat is a cheat.但騙子就是騙子。 六個詞像判詞,把浪漫和藉口一刀切掉。
You know, with wealth comes responsibilities.要知道,財富也帶來責任。 倒裝成格言,既像家教又像自我辯護。
I wasn't just some mindless consumer like so many of my so-called friends.我可不是那種盲目消費的人,不像我那麼多所謂的朋友。 把炫富改寫成道德優越感,so-called 一詞最扎。
I met someone. I'm a new person.我遇到了一個人。我脫胎換骨了。 兩句短句像重啟人生,也像急著蓋住舊賬。
意思是「把我迷得神魂顛倒」,形容被對方徹底吸引、心動到不行。臺詞裡用來說哈爾當年怎樣讓她一下子淪陷。
可以說 too good to be true。臺詞裡用來說一個人的成功順得反常,讓人懷疑背後有問題;不是單純的誇獎。
是臺詞裡對電擊療法的一種黑色別稱:用電流讓人腦子清醒(get you thinking straight)。字面像「愛迪生的藥」,實際說的是精神治療。
是一種留餘地的承認:嘴上不肯直說喜歡,實際承認自己愛買漂亮衣服。比直接說 I like it(我喜歡)更繞,也更像自我辯解。
意思是「正當的;不藏貓膩」。臺詞裡懷疑哈爾做的事並非件件都 100-percent aboveboard(完全正當)。
