準新郎怕婚禮跳舞：tie your life to someone
有人問對方到底怕不怕結婚，對方卻說怕的是婚禮上不會跳舞。話題被 tie your life to someone（把一生託付給某人）拉回正事，又被 pass up on（白白放過）頂回來：有點緊張就該放棄嗎？想聊婚前焦慮又不想說教，這兩個說法很順手。
發生了什麼
一個人先問對方到底怕不怕結婚，對方繞了一圈才承認：不怕結婚，怕的是婚禮上不會跳舞。問的人不理解——你就要 tie your life to someone（把一生託付給某人），怎麼只擔心婚宴跳舞？對方說，艾瑪漂亮聰明又愛自己，難道因為有幾點疑慮就 pass up on（白白放過）這段感情？隨後又把話題轉回舞池，說想 make an impression（給人留下印象），讓艾瑪的親戚看到艾瑪到底看中自己什麼。想聊婚前焦慮、取捨機會或第一次見家長，這些表達都用得上。
這場戲看什麼
- 留意談婚姻和跳舞時的語氣落差
- 注意 get、pass up on
- 看追問怎樣逼出真實擔心

本章全部批註
33 句台詞裡標了 27 處
談話正進行到一半 不是地理上的中間，是“正聊著”
were we in the middle of a conversation I don't remember leaving?把婚禮堅持辦完 不是“穿過婚禮”，是硬把婚禮辦到底
I was just thinking about it, and I was thinking that maybe you were waiting for some friend to try and stop you from going through with the wedding by asking if you're even ready to go and get married.賓語從句：that 從句作 thinking 的賓語，maybe 放在從句開頭表猜測。
I was just thinking about it, and I was thinking that maybe you were waiting for some friend to try and stop you from going through with the wedding by asking if you're even ready to go and get married.正要、即將做某事

You're about to tie your life to someone, someone who doesn't even really get you as well as your friends do, and what you're sweating is dancing at your reception?定語從句：who 從句修飾 someone，比較朋友和她誰更懂你，不是誰得到你。

Well, I figure she'll eventually get me.懂你、理解你
有人半開玩笑地替婚姻辯護：相處夠久，對方總會 get you（懂你）。語氣像在說服自己，也在說服對方。
My parents have been married for 35 years, and they still don't get each other.現在完成時：have been married 表持續狀態，for 接時段，不是“結過婚”。
My parents have been married for 35 years, and they still don't get each other.放過那個好機會 that 指她愛他這件事，不是具體物品

and I'd like to be able to show some flair on the dance floor, you know?給人留下印象

Like, make an impression so that maybe they'll see whatever it is that Emma sees in me instead of all feeling like I'm some burger-peddling loser who couldn't even bust a move.名詞性從句：whatever... 作 see 的賓語，that 解釋 it，即她看中的點。

發音重點
- getting married at all — 重音壓在 all 上，前面幾個詞輕快帶過
- what you're sweating — you're 輕輕帶過，重音壓在 sweating
- pass up on that — pass up on 連成一串，that 別拖長
- bust a move — bust 的 t 只閉住不送氣，s 直接滑進 a 的弱讀 /ə/，常連成 /ˈbʌsə/，重音落在 move 上
You're about to tie your life to someone, someone who doesn't even really get you as well as your friends do, and what you're sweating is dancing at your reception?你就要把一生託付給一個還不如你朋友懂你的人，結果你擔心的卻是在婚宴上跳舞？ 把“託付一生”和“一支舞”硬碰硬，長句越認真越顯出重心的荒唐。
My parents have been married for 35 years, and they still don't get each other.我爸媽結婚三十五年了，還是互相不懂對方。 用具體年數砸碎“時間久了自然懂”的幻想，短句收得冷。
I mean, what am I supposed to do, pass up on that because I have a few stupid doubts and some jitters?我是說，難道就因為我有幾分可笑的疑慮和一點緊張，就要錯過她？ 用反問把“疑慮”壓成小東西，pass up on that 讓錯過顯得不可接受。
Like, make an impression so that maybe they'll see whatever it is that Emma sees in me instead of all feeling like I'm some burger-peddling loser who couldn't even bust a move.比如，留下個好印象，好讓他們看到艾瑪在我身上看到的那些東西，而不是都覺得我是個連舞都不會跳的賣漢堡的窩囊廢。 把婚禮焦慮落到“親戚怎麼看我”，自嘲具體到一個賣漢堡的失敗者形象。
關於這一章的問題
at all 在問句裡是什麼意思？
意思是「到底、哪怕一點」。臺詞裡問 are you scared about getting married at all，就是在問對方到底怕不怕結婚。
「把一生託付給某人」英語怎麼說？
說 tie your life to someone，意思是把一生和某個人綁在一起。臺詞裡說的正是：你就要把一輩子交給一個人了，卻只擔心婚宴跳舞。
go through with 是什麼意思？
指硬著頭皮把事辦完。臺詞裡有人在猜：對方也許在等朋友來攔一攔，別真的把婚禮辦下去。
pass up on 是什麼意思？
指白白放過好機會。這裡說，難道因為有幾點傻乎乎的疑慮和緊張，就要白白錯過這段感情嗎？
「給人留下印象」英語怎麼說？
可以說 make an impression。臺詞裡是想在舞池裡給人留下印象，讓艾瑪的親戚看到艾瑪看中自己什麼。
get you 是懂你的意思嗎？
是。get you 就是懂你、理解你。臺詞裡說結婚久了對方總會懂你，另一句則說父母結婚三十五年仍互相不懂。
