打烊前爭論婚姻：give someone the time of day
打烊前的快餐店裡，幾句互損把話題帶到婚姻：一句 cold-hearted ice princess（冷心冰公主）先扣帽子，另一句 not saying that... but（先讓步再反駁）再把婚事說成違背天性。想損人又不撕破臉、想反駁又先給臺階，這兩個說法都用得上。
發生了什麼
打烊前，快餐店裡的閒聊從互相損嘴一路聊到婚姻值不值得信。一句 bust someone's balls（狠狠調侃/整某人）先把玩笑開到最大，cold-hearted ice princess（冷心冰公主）又給對方扣上不信婚姻的帽子；碰到不想把話說死的時候，not saying that... but（先讓步再反駁）能先給臺階再亮觀點。後面聊到高中舊事，give someone the time of day（搭理某人）把「當年看都不看你一眼」說得十分地道。朋友互損、聊感情觀、委婉反駁，都能直接搬用。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意互損何時轉認真，語氣怎麼翻
- 注意抽象詞如何拆浪漫愛
- 看被戳中的人怎樣反問擋回
留意這幾個短語

本章短語
give someone the time of day
搭理某人pay attention to someone
有人正解釋對方為什麼愛艾瑪，先回到高中舊事：她當年不肯 give someone the time of day（搭理某人）；語氣是揭老底，不是罵人。
He won't give me the time of day unless I mention work.除非我提工作，否則他根本不理我。

I'm not saying that it's not all right for you, but, yes, I do think that marriage goes against our primal nature.我不是說這對你不合適，但沒錯，我確實認為婚姻違揹我們的原始天性。 先讓一步再下判斷，聽起來像認真辯論而不是抬槓。

關於這一章的問題
bust someone's balls 是什麼意思？
這裡是「狠狠調侃/整某人」。臺詞裡說，等對方訂婚就要 bust your balls as hard as you've busted mine，意思是也要照樣狠狠損回去。
「搭理某人」英語怎麼說？
可以說 give someone the time of day。臺詞裡說她高中時 wouldn't give you the time of day，就是連正眼都不瞧你、不搭理你。
not saying that... but 是什麼語氣？
先讓步再反駁。先承認對方的選擇沒什麼不行，再亮出自己的看法；臺詞裡後面接的就是婚姻違背原始天性。
cold-hearted ice princess 是在夸人嗎？
不是，是帶刺的「冷心冰公主」，用來形容對方冷血、不信婚姻；原句 You're the cold-hearted ice princess that doesn't believe in marriage 就是這個意思。
backpedal 在口語裡指什麼？
指說錯話後趕緊改口、往回找補。一句 nice backpedal 就是「挺會往回找補啊」，朋友互損時很常用。
