這場戲：婚禮前兩週鬧掰
第 17 章 · 共 19 章 · 2'27"
盧·費里尼奧把彼得堵在門口，西德尼衝上去跟他扭打。回家後佐伊發現彼得瞞著她借錢給西德尼，氣到說婚禮前兩週要搬去朋友家住——一句 You can't just keep stuff like this from me（你不能瞞著我這種事）把信任危機挑明。情侶吵架、談錢談底線，這段全是真實衝突的說法。
結婚前他還 keep stuff（把事瞞著、藏著不說）
afford it 買得起、負擔得起good faith 誠意、誠信be short 手頭緊、缺錢tied up 被套住、抽不出來
她撂下 for all I care（隨他去）轉身走
take it back 收回（說過的話）the thing is 問題是、事情是這樣的for all I care 某人根本不在乎、隨他去beat up 把某人揍一頓
盧·費里尼奧堵住彼得理論，西德尼熱血上頭替他出頭，兩人當場扭打，彼得只能看著。回家後彼得才交代：開發專案因為拿不到費里尼奧的佣金要黃了，而他還瞞著佐伊借錢給西德尼投資，錢全 tied up（被套住）在股票裡。佐伊最氣的是他不吭聲——We're getting married. You can't just keep stuff like this from me（都要結婚了，你不能瞞著我這種事）。更糟的是彼得承認答不出為什麼娶她，佐伊撂下話要搬走。這些說法適合情侶談錢、談信任、表達失望。
A1–C2 是歐標等級。點一個等級後，比它高的卡片會變淡，播放到那裡不會自動暫停。
“We're getting married. You can't just keep stuff like this from me.”
我們要結婚了。你不能瞞著我這種事。
把「隱瞞」放進婚姻的框架裡說，一句就點出信任的底線。
You can't just keep ... from me.
對伴侶說被瞞著的事時用；對同事說會顯得越界。
You can't hide things like that from me. ／ Don't keep secrets from your partner.
中性
can't just 連讀，keep stuff 一帶，from me 收住。
You can't just keep big news from me. 這麼大的事你不能瞞著我。
“Two weeks before our wedding and you don't know why you're marrying me?”
婚禮前兩週，你居然不知道為什麼要娶我？
把時間點一擺出來，荒誕感自己就冒出來了，比直接罵更重。
Two weeks before X and you don't know ...?
對方在關鍵時刻掉鏈子、說糊塗話時用；玩笑裡也能反諷。
A day before the deadline and you still don't know? ／ The night before and you're still unsure?
中性
Two weeks 重讀，don't know 連讀，句尾上揚。
An hour before the flight and you don't have a ticket? 起飛前一小時，你連票都還沒有？
“I'm gonna go stay with Denise and Barry, and you and your bud Sydney can hang out and beat up Lou Ferrigno and go to Rush concerts and ride a tandem bicycle down the Venice Boardwalk for all I care.”
我要去丹妮絲和巴里家住，你跟你的好哥們西德尼愛怎麼混就怎麼混，揍盧·費里尼奧、聽Rush演唱會、騎雙人腳踏車逛威尼斯海濱大道，我都不管了。
一口氣甩出一串畫面，越說越誇張，把失望推到了荒誕。
You can ... for all I care.
賭氣說隨你便、我不管了時用；氣頭上說說可以，別寫進正式文字。
Do whatever you like, for all I care. ／ You can do as you please, I'm done.
口語
and 一路平推，for all I care 壓低收尾。
Go camping in the rain for all I care. 你愛淋雨去露營就去吧，我不管了。
“The thing is, Peter, I get why you would wonder that. I do.”
問題是，彼得，我明白你為什麼會那麼想。我真的明白。
用 The thing is 起頭承認對方感受，末句 l do 補上真誠，是吵架時最管用的降溫句。
The thing is, ... I get why you ...
爭執中先承認對方感受、再講自己想法時用；只說不做會顯得在敷衍。
The thing is, I get why you'd feel that way. ／ I get why you would wonder that, I really do.
口語
The thing is 輕帶，I do 兩個詞各自重讀。
The thing is, I get why you're upset. I do. 問題是，我明白你為什麼不高興。我真的明白。
下一章 · 18sick of受夠了這場戲：為好意廣告牌翻臉指對某人隱瞞事情、藏著不說。劇中佐伊生氣地說 You can't just keep stuff like this from me，就是「你不能瞞著我這種事」。
可以說 a hothead。hot 是火，指那種一點就著、容易上頭衝動的人。劇中有人說 Sydney's a hothead，就是說他是個炮仗脾氣。
指誠意、誠信。談生意時說 show your good faith，就是拿行動表個態，讓對方相信你有誠意。劇中有人建議先開支票表誠意。
用來引出真正的重點，相當於「問題是、事情是這樣的」。劇中有人說 The thing is, I get why you would wonder that，就是先承認對方有道理，再說真正想說的。
就是收回剛說過的話，當沒說過。劇中有人想把時間撥回問出口前十幾秒，還說自己寧願 take it back，就是後悔把那句蠢問題問出來。
