Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 12 / 20 章 · 3'24" · B2

為一個外號吵翻:pulling your chain

有人翻到第48頁,看到一箇舊外號,追問一句,另一人越講越難聽,氣氛一路拱火。一句 pulling your chain(故意耍人、逗你信假話)把話挑明,再一句 show a little respect(給點尊重)把底線擺出來。想提醒朋友別被忽悠,或讓越界的人收斂,這兩句都用得上。

發生了什麼

有人翻到第48頁,看到「Finger Cuffs」(手指銬)這個外號,追問來歷;對方講起一段涉及艾莉莎和舊同學的故事,氣氛越說越僵,最後有人表明她是自己的女朋友,要求對方放尊重。這裡能學到 pulling your chain(故意耍人、逗你信假話)、full of shit(滿嘴胡扯,完全不可信)、show a little respect(給點尊重,放尊重點)。想拆穿朋友的假訊息、表達不信任,或讓越界的人收斂,都能用上。
