派對上聽說丈夫偷腥:looking the other way

派對上,有人提起雷琳整晚跟哈爾顯得很親熱,一句 Hal's not the roving type(哈爾不是到處留情的人)把話擋了回去。後來有人反覆追問:看見朋友妻子親別人,會不會告訴朋友?最後一句 looking the other way(裝作沒看見)點破有人寧願迴避。想學怎麼體面否認、怎麼委婉提醒,這場對話夠用。

發生了什麼

派對上,有人提起雷琳整晚跟哈爾顯得很親熱;有人用 Hal's not the roving type(哈爾不是到處留情的人)否認,也有人拿自己丈夫打比方,說會 keep an eye on(看緊、留意)他。後來有人反覆問:要是看見朋友妻子親別人,會不會告訴朋友?有人說 a passing thing(一時的事)也許不提更好,也有人堅持 have his back(挺他、護著他)。最後一句 looking the other way(裝作沒看見)點出面對不想知道的事時的習慣。想學體面否認、委婉提醒和看穿不說穿,這些說法在聚會、夫妻矛盾和日常聊天裡都用得上。

短語 · B1How long have you known someone

你認識她多久了

How long have you known her? Few years. Why?
語法 · B1have you known

現在完成時提問:用現在完成時問“認識多久”,因為認識從過去持續到現在;how long 放句首。

How long have you known her? Few years. Why?
發音have you

快問句裡 have you 常擠在一起,別把 have 讀重

How long have you known her? Few years. Why?
短語 · B1what kind of question is that

這算什麼問法

Of course I trust her. What kind of question is that?
短語 · B2cozy with someone

整晚和某人很親熱 cozy 本義舒適,這裡指舉止過分親近

花心、到處留情的人 roving 本義漫遊,這裡指感情上不安分

I wouldn't worry. Hal's not the roving type, nor is Raylene.

喝得半醉——熟人之間調侃醉態,正式場合別用

Let me tell you, you were half in the bag the entire night, okay?
短語 · B2what's eating someone

你怎麼了,煩什麼

有人伸手要過對方手裡的東西,直接問 what's eating you(你怎麼了):不是問吃什麼,而是追問“你到底在煩什麼”。語氣可以關心,也可以帶點不耐煩。

Give me that. What's eating you?

看懂「派對上聽說丈夫偷腥」

發音重點

  • have you — 快問句裡 have you 常擠在一起,別把 have 讀重
  • Bet your ass — 重音砸在 ass 上,Bet your 快速帶過
  • looking the other — looking the other 一口氣滑過去,the 很輕
If you saw your friend's wife kissing another guy, would you tell your friend?

如果你看見朋友的妻子親了別人,你會告訴朋友嗎? 一個假設句把整場戲的道德難題擺上桌,簡短、殘酷、無法迴避。

If you don't say anything, it could've been a passing thing.

如果你什麼都不說,那可能只是一時的事。 把沉默包裝成善意,用 could've been 留出退路。

You know, I would tell him, because that's what a friend's for.

你知道,我會告訴他,因為朋友就是幹這個的。 用最樸素的 because 把忠誠說成義務,反而有分量。

You gotta have his back. That's why I'd tell him.

你得挺他。這就是我會告訴他的原因。 先給原則,再給理由,兩拍短句像敲桌子。

When Jasmine don't wanna know something, she's got a habit of looking the other way.

茉莉不想知道某件事時,她習慣裝作沒看見。 結尾一句把整場試探收成人物判詞,口語語法反而更狠。

關於這一章的問題

looking the other way 是什麼意思?

意思是「裝作沒看見」,指明明察覺卻故意不去面對。臺詞裡說,有人不想知道某件事時,就有這個習慣。

「喝得半醉」英語怎麼說?

可以說 half in the bag。臺詞裡有人說對方整晚都 half in the bag,就是喝得半醉、不太清醒。

「挺他、護著他」英語怎麼說?

用 have his back。臺詞裡說朋友就該這樣,You gotta have his back,意思是朋友有難時要站他這邊、給他撐腰。

a passing thing 在臺詞裡指什麼?

指「一時的事、短暫的」感情或狀況。臺詞裡假設不說破,那次親吻也許只是一時的事,朋友就永遠不會知道。

keep an eye on 是「看一眼」嗎?

不是,是「看緊、留意」。臺詞裡有人拿自己丈夫打比方,說會 keep an eye on him,也就是多盯著點。
