這場戲：翻出媽媽的言情小說
第 6 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'47"
兩人翻出媽媽留下的一整櫃言情小說，邊念肉麻句子邊互相擠兌。有人提起當年互寄的情書，隨口一句「別裝得看不上這些」，英語就是 Don't pretend you're all above this。想形容一件事能玩得多起勁，就用 have a field day（玩個盡興）。朋友重逢、一起翻舊物，這兩句最順口。

在堆滿舊物的屋裡，兩人翻出媽媽留下的一整櫃言情小說。他們一邊翻一邊念出書裡肉麻的句子，又提起當年一起讀《呼嘯山莊》、互寄情書的舊事，還半開玩笑地互相損對方。想誇一件事值得玩個痛快，可以說 have a field day（玩個盡興）；想輕描淡寫一句「這都看跟誰比」，用 it's all relative（都是相對的）；想把舊東西清掉、扔掉，get rid of（處理掉）最自然。這幾句特別適合老朋友、老同學多年後重逢，一邊翻舊物一邊閒聊的場合。

Not to be morbid but just a thing.
我看著它們的時候，突然特別強烈地意識到人終有一死，我心想這兒有八百本書，就算我…… 就算我不知怎麼的想把這些書全讀完，我也活不到把它們讀完的那天。 這事兒挺怪的，你算算就知道了。 這想法挺瘮人的。 不是，只是…… 不是想說得那麼喪，就是這麼個事。
下一章 · 07time capsule時光膠囊這場戲：翻高中舊物讀情詩"have a field day" 是玩個盡興、大做文章的意思，指遇到某件事能盡情享受或大加發揮。翻到一堆舊物可以玩很久，就可以說 we would have a field day with it。
可以說 Don't pretend you're all above this。above this 字面是「在這之上」，這裡指顯得自己比這些東西高、看不上它們。用來懟別人裝清高很地道。
get rid of 是處理掉、擺脫，範圍更廣，人和煩人的事都能用；throw away 多指把實物扔進垃圾桶。想把舊書賣掉或送人，都算 get rid of。
意思是都是相對的，沒有絕對的高低好壞，要看跟什麼比。朋友感嘆人生、比較處境時常用。這裡聊到誰也讀不完一輩子的書，對方就來一句 you know it's all relative。
let's face it 是「咱們實話實說吧」，用來引出一句不好聽但不得不承認的話。語氣輕鬆坦誠，不是指責，朋友或同事之間都能用。
