這場戲：舊信揭開當年失去的孩子
第 18 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'11"
阿曼達執意要走，吉姆拼命求她再給一分鐘，把人留住。可舊賬一翻就收不住：I should not have let this game go on for so long.（我不該任由這場遊戲拖下去）是他自己的後悔，without asking me（連問都不問我一聲）是翻舊信時的火。求人、後悔、追責這幾句，吵架認錯時都用得上。
「我已經結婚了」英語是 I am married，他還在挽留
let this game go on 任由這場遊戲拖下去am married 已經結婚了belong to someone else 屬於別人（這裡指已婚）a little bit of room 一點空間、別逼太緊
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 「那也是我的孩子」英語怎麼說？That was my baby too
come into my house 闖進我家without asking me 連問都不問我一聲my baby too 那也是我的孩子
阿曼達和吉姆多年後重逢，這天她執意要走，吉姆不想放人，兩人從挽留一路吵到翻舊賬。她從舊物裡翻出一封他二十二年前寫給她的信，他一句 This is my letter.（這是我的信）強調所有權，又用 without asking me（連問都不問我一聲）怪她不打招呼就拿走。拉扯到最後，舊信下面藏著更重的事——當年那個孩子。let something go on（任由事情拖下去）是明知不對卻沒叫停；belong to（屬於某人）用來講歸屬和所有權。這幾句在分手、追責、談邊界時都能直接搬。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“I should not have let this game go on for so long.”
我本不該讓這場遊戲拖這麼久。
把一段關係說成「遊戲」，又在同一句裡認了錯，輕描淡寫裡全是悔。
should not have let ... go on
後悔自己當初沒早點喊停某事時用；認錯或復盤感情都合適，別在輕鬆玩笑裡說。
I should have stopped this sooner. ／ I let it drag on too long.
中性
should not have 連讀，go on 稍拖長。
I should not have let this argument go on. 我本不該讓這場爭吵拖下去。
“Do you understand that I am married?”
你明白我已經結婚了嗎？
一句反問把「已婚」當武器，逼對方在事實面前退後。
Do you understand that ...?
當對方裝糊塗、不肯面對現實時用；語氣重，對朋友別隨便用。
Do you get that I'm married? ／ Are you clear that I'm married?
中性
understand 重音在最後，married 收得乾脆。
Do you understand that I have a family? 你明白我已經有家了嗎？
“Well this is just a game to you, Amanda then why do you need to read a letter that I wrote to you 22 years ago?”
既然這對你只是一場遊戲，阿曼達，那你為什麼還要讀我二十二年前寫給你的信？
用對方的原話反將一軍：既然只是遊戲，何必留著一封舊信。
If this is just a game to you, then why ...?
抓對方自相矛盾時用；邏輯強但帶刺，談判和吵架都能用。
If it means nothing, why keep it? ／ Then why do you still care?
中性
just a game 稍重，why 前停頓一下。
If this is just a game to you, then why do you keep the photo? 既然這對你只是遊戲，你為什麼還留著那張照片？
“That was my baby too.”
那也是我的孩子。
五個詞把「我也失去了」喊出來，短到沒有退路。
That was my ... too.
當別人獨佔了共同的傷痛時用；重，別用來搶功勞。
It was mine as well. ／ That loss was mine too.
literary
my 重讀，too 落得輕但清楚。
That was my decision too. 那也是我的決定。
“I was a scared kid!”
我當時只是個嚇壞了的孩子！
把責任推給年紀，用「孩子」兩個字替自己求情。
I was just a scared kid.
替過去的自己辯解時用；說給親近的人聽，正式場合顯得推責。
I was just a kid. ／ I was young and terrified.
口語
scared 重讀，kid 上揚表委屈。
He was a scared kid, so he froze. 他當時只是個嚇壞了的孩子，就愣在那兒了。
“You were the one who told me that we were too young.”
當初是你說我們太年輕的。
用「正是你」把責任釘回對方，一句頂十句爭吵。
You were the one who ...
把責任推回給先開口的人時用；吵架時很鋒利，別對長輩用。
You're the one who said it first. ／ It was you who told me that.
中性
the one 重讀，too young 放慢。
You were the one who wanted to move here. 當初是你說想搬來這兒的。
“It was our life!”
那是我們共同的生活！
用 our 把「你也有份」塞進一句吶喊，比指責更痛。
It was our ...
強調共同擁有、拒絕對方撇清時用；情緒重，別在玩笑裡用。
It belonged to both of us. ／ That was ours together.
literary
our 重讀，life 降調收住。
It was our plan, not just mine. 那是我們共同的計劃，不只是我的。
That was my baby too. Okay? It was ours. What... It was ours.
那也是我的孩子。 明白嗎？那是我們的孩子。 什麼…… 那是我們的。
意思是「任由事情一直拖下去」，指明知情況不對卻沒有及時喊停。吉姆說 I should not have let this game go on for so long.，就是在後悔讓這場遊戲拖得太久。
without asking me。臺詞裡 and just take this and do what ever you want with it, without asking me 就是說對方不打招呼就把東西拿走，質問別人越界時很好用。
belong to。比如 I belong to someone else.（我屬於別人）就是告訴對方自己已經結婚、不能再往前走。
兩者都有。I should not have let this game go on for so long. 表面是後悔沒早點叫停，其實也在怪對方一直不表態，語氣又酸又委屈。
翻舊賬時扯出當年的事：That was my baby too.（那也是我的孩子）It was ours.（那是我們的）最後一句 We lost it. 說明兩個人曾經有過一個孩子，後來失去了。
