最好的…之一
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 4 / 20 章 · 2'11" · B2
兩人邊畫路燈邊商量晚上吃什麼,電話那頭自報 Hooper here(我是胡珀),邀他去 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧),還搬出 Alyssa 的名字;掛了電話,有人先問 So when we leavin'?(那我們什麼時候走),這邊回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(給我和艾莉莎牽線)。想學電話邀約和朋友抬槓,這通電話裡全是現成句子。
開場兩人在趕下一期刊物,先誇一句這是畫過最好的路燈,再聊晚上是叫披薩還是看加拿大劇。電話響起,那頭自報 Hooper here(我是胡珀),說今晚有 club shindig(熱鬧聚會),自己在 Meow Mix(喵喵酒吧)臨時做 barkeep(酒保,老派說法)。這邊先說趕稿、明早還有會,一聽是 Alyssa 讓來的,馬上改口「我會去」。掛了電話,有人先問 So when we leavin'?(那我們什麼時候走),這邊才回一句 hookin' me up with Alyssa(給我和艾莉莎牽線);最後那串獨白又把 shared a moment(有過曖昧的一刻)翻來覆去說,還斷言這姑娘愛上他了。想練電話邀約、朋友間調侃抬槓,都能用上。
這場戲看什麼
留意這幾個短語

本章短語
給某人牽線搭橋set someone up with someone
有人問“我們什麼時候走”,這邊先用 We? 頂回去,再說這是一次 hook someone up(牽線)的安排——原話是 hookin' me up with Alyssa,語氣不耐煩。
A good friend can hook someone up with a job interview.好朋友能幫人牽線,安排一次面試。
對…有莫名偏好
酒保(老派說法)
接下來該你接這句了
把…說得再清楚不過
你可真會搞笑(反話)

最好的…之一
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.定語從句:省略 that 的定語從句修飾 streetlights,ever 與最高階連用表示“你畫過最…之一”。
This is one of the best streetlights you've ever drawn.在…街對面
It's the one from across the street from the post offlce.對…有莫名偏好
有人用 got a weird thing for 打趣對方愛看加拿大情節劇,句子帶笑,不是認真批評;緊接著一句拿“aboot”的口音梗回敬,氣氛像熟人互損。
You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama.要辦一場熱鬧聚會
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.會非常喜歡並投入 get into 不是“進入”,這裡指喜歡、投入
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.賓語從句:know 後接 how 引導的賓語從句,語序是陳述句,不是 how do you hate。
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.goin' 的 g 已省掉,快讀時直接滑到 down
Hooper here. Listen, I know how you 'burb flends hate the city, but there's a club shindig goin' down tonight I think you'd really get into.臨時做…工作 barkeep 是酒保的老派說法
- Where is it? - Meow Mix. I'm temping as barkeep.準備下一期刊物 issue 這裡指刊物的一期
We're prepping the next issue. We got that stupid meeting in the morning.用…開頭又以…結尾
How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?and 常只留一個輕 n,begin 和 end 之間別斷開
How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?接下來該你接這句了
電話裡丟擲艾莉莎的名字後,一句 here's the part where you say... 像寫劇本一樣提示對方下一句該說 “I'll be there”,語氣篤定,帶點設套。
She asked me to invite you. Now, here's the part where you say...邀我去俱樂部
- Who was that? - Hooper. He invited me to a club.姑娘們(老派俚語)——熟人隨口說,帶性別化味道,正式場合別用
Man, when's that faggot gonna learn? You like chicks.不是那種…
- Not that kind of club. - So when we leavin'?給我和…牽線 字面像“把…掛起來”,這裡指介紹認識
We? You can't go. He's hookin' me up with Alyssa.把…搞砸
- And? - And I don't want you messing it up.破事;東西——熟人粗口,正式場合和陌生人面前別用
I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.你可真會搞笑(反話)
有人剛說自己也想去,被拒絕後用一本正經的 one man 句式回敬,表面像誇好笑,實際在挖苦。句子裡的 get to be so funny 就是這股反話的落點。
How does one man get to be so funny?你打算怎麼回家
Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?搭上人;勾搭上——朋友間談約會,正式場合說 start dating
Look, how you gonna get home when I hook up, huh?我這沒腦子的老友
有人不信對方能得手,被潑冷水後用舊小說腔的 my witless chum 反擊,語氣像損友鬥嘴,不是真罵。
- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.才不會呢——熟人潑冷水說反話,正式場合別用
- Like that'll happen. - Let me explain, my witless chum.有過曖昧的一刻
有人結結巴巴解釋那晚和艾莉莎的關係,用 shared a moment 含糊帶過,語氣吞吞吐吐,又想把話說圓。
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.shared 的 d 輕輕滑進 a,moment 壓重音
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.把…說得再清楚不過
有人把一個小小的“瞬間”說成重大發現,用 made abundantly clear 收束,像在宣佈一個不容置疑的結論,語氣一本正經。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.被動語態:把 one thing 放句首,用 was made clear 強調“被說清楚的是這一點”。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.How do you begin and end a question with the same word like that?你怎麼能用同一個詞開頭又結尾來問問題? 當場拆穿對方重複用詞的怪問法,像調侃又像佩服,語感很活。
I care about your shit. Maybe I'll hook up myself.我是在乎你那點破事的。說不定我自己也能搭上一個。 先認下對方的感情,再用 Maybe I'll hook up myself 把話題搶回自己,損友式轉折很利落。
How does one man get to be so funny?一個人怎麼能這麼好笑? 用 one man 的正式腔包裝挖苦,表面誇好笑,實際說你可真可笑。
The other night, we two, Alyssa and I, we, uh, well, we shared a moment.那天晚上,我們倆,艾莉莎和我,我們,呃,算是,有過一刻。 結巴的插入語把心虛演出來,最後 we shared a moment 又突然鄭重,語氣落差很好笑。
And in that moment, one thing was made abundantly clear.就在那一刻,有一件事變得再清楚不過。 用被動和 abundantly 把私人小事說成鄭重宣告,越正經越好笑。
給某人牽線搭橋,介紹物件。臺詞裡說 He's hookin' me up with Alyssa,就是有人要撮合他和艾莉莎,所以帶個朋友去才不合適。
got a weird thing for。臺詞裡有人說 You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama,意思是「你對加拿大苦情劇有股莫名的著迷」。
字面是「接下來就是…的那部分」,實際是把話遞到對方嘴邊:說完 She asked me to invite you(她讓我來請你)就接這句,等於「你現在該說『我去』了」。
酒保,一個老派說法。臺詞裡說自己 temping as barkeep,是臨時在酒吧做這份工,不是長期幹。
不算正式表白。shared a moment 字面是「共享了一個瞬間」,實際指兩人有過一段曖昧、特別的時刻,比普通聊天更進一步;臺詞裡說完這句,緊接著就斷言「這姑娘愛上我了」。
get to be so funny,整句是 How does one man get to be so funny? 字面像在問「一個人怎麼能這麼逗」,實際是反話,不是在誇對方幽默。
