這場戲：為見姑娘錯過球賽
第 11 章 · 共 21 章 · 5'03"
尚恩跟威爾講：那年紅襪隊打世界大賽第六場，他有票，卻在酒吧遇見一個姑娘，把票推給朋友，說 I gotta see about a girl（我得去會會一個姑娘）。後來妻子病逝，他說 I sure as hell don't regret missin' a damn game（我絕不後悔錯過一場球賽）。想學怎麼輕描淡寫地講一段愛情，就看這幾句。
❝ 獨白 · 4 句 他們看出他動了真心：saw it in my eyes（從眼神里看出來）
get away with 做了某事卻沒受罰saw it in my eyes 從眼神里看出來sure as hell 絕對、毫無疑問
到底誰躲著誰：the other way around（反過來、倒過來）
make it to 到得了某地a hike 一段挺遠的路the other way around 反過來、倒過來sleep with you 跟某人上床
尚恩講了全片最動人的故事：紅襪隊打世界大賽第六場，他和朋友在路邊睡了一夜才搶到票，比賽當天卻坐在酒吧裡，看一個姑娘走進來，整間屋子都亮了。他當場把票推給朋友，只說 Sorry, guys. I gotta see about a girl（對不住了，兄弟們，我得去會會一個姑娘）。威爾聽得目瞪口呆。尚恩說他不後悔：不後悔為陪她放棄諮詢的那六年，也不後悔她病重的最後幾年，更不後悔錯過一場球——That's regret（這才叫遺憾）。另一邊，斯凱拉追著威爾問什麼時候能見他的朋友和兄弟，還放話：不讓她見，就不跟他睡了。想學怎麼講故事，這些說法都能抄。

“And I sure as hell don't regret missin' a damn game.”
我更是絕不後悔錯過一場破球賽。
用 sure as hell 和 a damn game 把輕重一比，態度毫不含糊。
I sure as hell don't regret ...
強調自己絕不後悔時用；正式場合這種粗話要換成 definitely not。
I definitely don't regret missing that game. ／ I wouldn't trade that night for any game.
口語
sure as hell 連讀，don't regret 重讀，damn 輕帶。
I sure as hell don't regret leaving that job. 我絕不後悔辭掉那份工作。
“Oh, yeah. They saw it in my eyes that I meant it.”
是啊。他們從我眼神里看出我是認真的。
不解釋理由，只用一個眼神，把誠意說得比任何話都重。
They saw it in my eyes that ...
說明別人一眼看出你的真心時用；寫正式報告別這麼感性。
They could tell from my face that I meant it. ／ They saw in my eyes that I was serious.
中性
saw it in 連讀，meant it 收尾乾脆。
They saw it in my eyes that I wasn't bluffing. 他們從我眼神里看出我不是在虛張聲勢。
“What if I said I would not sleep with you again until you let me meet your friends?”
那要是我說，你不讓我見你朋友，我就不再跟你上床了呢？
用一句玩笑式的條件逼對方表態，把親密和信任綁在一起。
What if I said ... until you ...?
半開玩笑地逼對方讓步時用；真吵架時這麼說會火上澆油。
What if I said no more dates until you introduce me? ／ How about no plans until you let me meet them?
口語
What if I 連讀，not sleep with you 加重，句尾上揚。
What if I said no more trips until you meet my parents? 那要是我說，你不來見我爸媽就不再一起旅行了呢？
“If you're not thinking with your wiener, then you're acting directly on its behalf.”
你要不是用下半身在想事，就是在替它辦事。
把男人的小心思拆穿得又文雅又下流，一句就笑場。
If you're not thinking with your X, you're acting on its behalf.
調侃朋友的心思全在別處時能用，熟人之間最好笑，別對不熟的人說。
You're not thinking with your head right now. ／ Every decision is coming from somewhere else.
口語
If you're not 連讀，thinking with your 快帶，on its behalf 重讀收尾。
If you're not thinking with your wallet, you're shopping for it. 你要不是用錢包在想事，就是在替錢包逛街。
and how I always regretted not goin' over and talkin' to her. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counselling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' a damn game.
還有我一直後悔沒走過去跟她搭話。 我不後悔她生病後我放棄諮詢的那六年。 我也不後悔她病重的那最後幾年。 我更是絕不後悔錯過一場破球賽。
下一章 · 12walk the line走直線測醉駕這場戲：講舅舅醉酒糗事被打斷指做了某事卻沒被追究、沒受罰。戲裡威爾不敢相信尚恩的朋友就這麼放他走，問 They let you get away with that，就是這個意思。
說 go on a bender，指連續很多天猛喝。戲裡查基講他馬蒂舅舅一喝就是六到八個月，用的就是這個詞。
用 the other way around。戲裡斯凱拉問 Is it me you're hiding from them or the other way around，就是問：是你不讓我見他們，還是他們不想見我？
本意是徒步遠足，口語裡也用來形容「一段挺遠的路」。戲裡威爾說 South Boston 有點遠，就說 It's kind of a hike，其實是委婉推脫。
字面是「把不同的比喻混著用」，比如先說三分球又扯本壘打，聽著亂。戲裡斯凱拉打斷兩人聊球，就是讓他 Stop mixing your sporting metaphors。
