Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 7 / 20 章 · 3'32" · B2

為童貞定義抬槓:up close and personal

兩人聊起那晚,一句 I weirded you out the other night(讓你不自在)先把尷尬挑明,對方只答 It just took a while to process(需要時間消化)。等氣氛緩下來,話才慢慢說開——想把尷尬攤到桌面上聊,這套先認再講的節奏很實用。

發生了什麼

開場是一句小心的試探:那天晚上是不是把你弄得挺不自在?weird someone out(讓人不自在)說的就是這種怕冒犯人的問法。對方先否認,又承認那種場面自己從沒 up close and personal(近距離親身經歷)地碰見過,得 take a while to process(需要時間消化)。氣氛緩和下來,一句「我喜歡你,霍登」把話挑明,還說有什麼想知道的都可以問。後半段兩人為「童貞到底怎麼算」抬槓,定義改了一次又一次。想把尷尬話題攤開聊、想在朋友之間半開玩笑地抬槓,這些句子都用得上。

短語 · B2weird someone out

短語 · B1or something like that

諸如此類、大概那種

/t's just been some time since I've been exposed to a man that didn't...
短語 · B1of some sort

某種、說不上具體哪種

短語 · B1feel comfortable with someone

And I want you to feel comfortable with me, because I'd really like us to be friends.

對某事好奇

So you've never been curious about men?
短語 · B2the opposite sex

異性

until they've had intercourse with a member of the opposite sex.
語法 · B2until they've had intercourse

until 從句:until + 現在完成時,表示到“已經發生性行為”那一刻為止;定義句裡常這樣卡時間邊界。

until they've had intercourse with a member of the opposite sex.

你又來這套…

Again with your standards.

做愛

按你的定義

Hence, according to your deflnition, she'd still be a virgin.
短語 · C1have something stricken from the record

從記錄中刪除

爭論童貞定義時,有人搬出 stricken from the record 這套法庭腔,半開玩笑地要求把對方的幼稚發言刪掉,語氣又冷又損。

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.
短語 · B2come off as + adjective

給人…的印象

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.
語法 · B2have that remark stricken

使役 have 結構:have + 賓語 + 過去分詞,表示讓別人把某事處理掉;這裡把“刪除記錄”說成程式動作,諷刺更足。

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.
俚語 · B2for Christ's sake

看在老天份上,抱怨用語——熟人抱怨時用,正式場合和宗教場合別用。

Our bodies are built to pass a child, for Christ's sake.
短語 · B2in that good way

疼,但屬於舒服的那種

- Sure, but in that good way. - Oh.
短語 · B2a once-in-a-while thing

偶爾才做的事

談到身體經驗,有人把某件事說成 a once-in-a-while thing,只在特別場合才做,語氣像在劃出界線,也讓場面更私密。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.
短語 · B2be reserved for something

專留給某類場合

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.
語法 · B2reserved for really special occasions

過去分詞後置:reserved for... 是過去分詞短語修飾 thing,等於 which is reserved for...;字幕要補出“留給”。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.

看懂「為童貞定義抬槓」

發音重點

  • I'd never — I'd 的 d 舌尖頂住上齦不爆破,never 的 /n/ 順勢滑進去,重音壓在 nev-。
  • want you — want you 之間別停,t 輕輕滑進 you,整塊更順。
  • What do you — What do you 快問時糊成一團,把重音留給 want。
I haven't liked a man in a long time.

我很久沒有喜歡過一個男人了。 坦白得近乎脆弱,又用時間跨度把分寸留住,適合跟讀。

And I want you to feel comfortable with me, because I'd really like us to be friends.

我想讓你跟我相處時自在,因為我真的很想我們做朋友。 把親密和邊界一次說清,語氣穩,不逼迫。

I think virginity is lost when you make love for the flrst time.

我認為第一次做愛時,童貞就失去了。 把抽象定義壓成一句可爭論的命題,節奏乾淨。

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.

我動議把這句話從記錄裡刪掉,因為它讓你顯得完全天真又幼稚。 法庭腔砸進私密對話,諷刺感立刻拉滿。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.

那只是偶爾為之、留給真正特別場合的事。 輕描淡寫裡帶挑逗,once-in-a-while 很地道。

關於這一章的問題

weird someone out 是什麼意思?

意思是讓人不自在、覺得彆扭。臺詞裡那句 I weirded you out the other night,說的就是「那天晚上我讓你挺不自在的」,用來說自己擔心冒犯了對方。

「需要時間消化」英語怎麼說?

take a while to process。臺詞裡 It just took a while to process,意思是「只是需要點時間消化」,聽到某件事之後要緩一緩,就可以這麼說。

up close and personal 只能形容親眼看到的事嗎?

不一定。它字面是「近距離、親身」,可以指真的站在跟前看到,也可以指親身經歷、親自感受。臺詞裡說的就是那種事第一次離自己這麼近,一時沒反應過來。

stricken from the record 是法庭上才說的話嗎?

不只在法庭。它本來是從記錄中刪除的意思,法庭上有人說了不該說的,另一方會這樣要求。臺詞裡搬出這套說法,說那句話讓人顯得又天真又幼稚。

once-in-a-while thing 平時怎麼用?

就是偶爾才做的事。臺詞裡說它 reserved for really special occasions,留給特別特別的場合。平時說偶爾才喝一杯、偶爾才熬一次夜,都能套這個說法。
