寧願待在別處
I'd rather be someplace else too.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 10 / 15 章 · 3'10" · B2
派對角落,兩個人從名字聊到衣著、喪偶和職業。一句 Come to life after it gets dark(天一黑就活過來)把名字聊成了調情;一句 might just be an inflated ego(也許只是膨脹的自負)顯得輕鬆,接著又有人感嘆 I really have hit the jackpot(交上好運)。想學初次見面的自然寒暄和自嘲,這段正合適。
派對角落,兩個人初次搭話,先從名字說起:有人說自己的名字來自母親喜歡的花,於是有了 Come to life after it gets dark(天一黑就活過來)這樣的說法。話題很快轉到衣著、喪偶和職業。有人用 I didn't say(我可沒那麼說)輕輕擋回一句玩笑;有人剛講起想競選公職,又承認 might just be an inflated ego(也許只是膨脹的自負)。等到聽說對方是室內設計師,一句 I really have hit the jackpot(交上好運)把好感推向邀約。想練初次見面的寒暄、自嘲和順勢誇獎,這些說法都能直接用。

寧願待在別處
I'd rather be someplace else too.I'd 的 d 別拖重,輕輕滑進 rather,整句放鬆念。
I'd rather be someplace else too.某個地方(口語)——熟人閒聊常用;正式文書裡改用 somewhere。

Jasmine French, that's a very exotic name.按…給我取名
Well, my parents named me after my mother's favorite flower.活躍起來,有生氣
有人把名字解釋成夜來香,又補一句 come to life after it gets dark(天一黑就活過來),說的既是花,也像在說對方一到夜裡才精神,語氣裡帶點調情。
Come to life after it gets dark.今天收到最好的提議
That's the best offer I've had today.有機會認識你
I saw you in the other room before, I was hoping I'd get to meet you.過去進行表委婉:用 I was hoping 而不是 I hope,讓期待聽起來更委婉,後面接賓語從句。
I saw you in the other room before, I was hoping I'd get to meet you.打破美好想像
有人聽對方說早在另一個房間就想認識自己,便自嘲地回一句 hope I don't shatter your illusion(希望別打破你的美好想像),意思是別把我想得太好,語氣輕鬆。
Well, hope I don't shatter your illusion.在時尚行業工作
Vivier-- Oh, my goodness. Do you work in the fashion industry?去世(委婉說法)
話題轉到前妻,有人用 passed away(去世)代替直接說 died,選詞更委婉,語氣也放輕,好讓對方順著接話。
Right. She passed away last year.沒…那麼光鮮
I'm so-- And what do you do? Nothing as glamorous as fashion.外交使團
有人先說在國務院工作,又補一句 in the diplomatic corps(在外交使團),把職位說得更正式。
In the diplomatic corps.拒絕它 這裡不是調低音量,而是拒絕機會。
But I wouldn't turn it down.駐墨西哥大使
We knew the ambassador to Mexico.進入政界
Lovely. My ambition is to come back after a few years and enter politics.競選公職
有人談未來計劃,說想在加州 run for office(競選公職),語氣認真,還提到自己瞭解加州、喜歡挑戰。
I'd like to run for office in California. Oh, how exciting.膨脹的自負
有人剛說完想當議員,馬上補一句 it might just be an inflated ego(也許只是膨脹的自負),用自嘲給野心墊一層緩衝,語氣輕鬆。
Yeah, it might just be an inflated ego, but I think I'd make a good congressman.這一帶,這兒——口語裡問對方是否本地;正式問籍貫別用。
You from out here?重新開始生活
I decided to come out here and start a new life for myself.交上好運,中頭獎
有人一聽對方是室內設計師就說 I really have hit the jackpot(交上好運),接著解釋自己剛買了新房,正需要人幫忙。
I really have hit the jackpot.not only 倒裝:否定詞 Not only 放句首,助動詞 is 提到主語 she 前;正常語序是 she is not only...
Really? I meet this exotic creature, not only is she charming and elegant and single,not 和 only 各頂一下重音,is she 縮成輕快的 /ɪʃi/,整串前重後輕。
Really? I meet this exotic creature, not only is she charming and elegant and single,省略關係代詞:One 後省掉 that/which,I've been looking at 是定語從句,說明是哪一棟房子。
One I've been looking at. It's in Marin.命中註定 不是寫在星星上,而是說命中註定。
Written in the stars. You have to look at it.I'd rather be someplace else too.我也寧願待在別的地方。 一句低聲的同感,既承認不適,又向對方遞出同盟感。
Come to life after it gets dark.天黑之後才活過來。 用夜花說人,字面寫花,暗裡寫夜生活與曖昧。
I didn't say it was an offer.我可沒說那是個邀約。 用一句輕巧否認擋住對方順杆爬,既不留情也不撕破臉。
I remember it as being two weeks of young wine and chocolate cake.我記得那兩週就是喝新酒、吃巧克力蛋糕。 把旅行記憶壓成味道和甜點,具體、鬆弛,帶點老派富人的享樂。
I really have hit the jackpot.我真是交上好運了。 誇張的 jackpot 把遇見合適的人說成中頭獎,熱情又不至於太鄭重。
是「活躍起來,有生氣」。臺詞裡一句 Come to life after it gets dark,說的是夜來香天一黑就活躍起來,不是真的活過來。
可以說 hit the jackpot,字面是中了頭獎。臺詞裡 I really have hit the jackpot 用來表示自己運氣好到像中獎,不是真的買彩票。
用 I didn't say(我可沒那麼說),後面接對方替你加的話。臺詞裡一句 I didn't say it was an offer,就是「我可沒說這是個提議」。
passed away 是「去世」的委婉說法,語氣比 died 柔和。臺詞裡說到前妻去年過世,用的就是 She passed away last year。
不是,它泛指競選公職。臺詞裡有人說想在加州 run for office,還提到想當眾議員,所以職位可大可小。
