這場戲：跳舞屬於自由的人
第 10 章 · 共 18 章 · 4'08"
喬喬又編了一封內森的信來氣艾莎。回家路上，羅茜卻認真講起浪漫：Love is the strongest thing in the world（愛是世上最強大的東西）。喬喬嘴硬說跳舞是沒工作的人乾的，羅茜回他 Dancing is for people who are free（跳舞是給自由的人乾的）。想學怎麼聊愛、講自由和嘴硬頂嘴，這段又俏皮又心酸。

「愛是世上最強大的東西」英語說 Love is the strongest thing in the world

喬喬先演了一齣惡作劇：他編出第二封「內森的信」，念給艾莎聽，字裡行間羞辱她，還順手把監視猶太人那套名字遊戲搬出來胡鬧。吵到最後，喬喬問 If you find any more of those letters, will you let me know?（你要是再找到那種信，能告訴我嗎？），對方乾脆地答 Sure（好）。隨後羅茜帶喬喬走在河岸邊，說這些河岸 used to（從前）滿是情侶，有跳舞有唱歌；她還認真地說 Love is the strongest thing in the world（愛是世上最強大的東西）。喬喬偏要抬槓，說跳舞是沒工作的人乾的，羅茜淡淡回他 Dancing is for people who are free（跳舞是給自由的人乾的）。想學怎麼聊愛、講自由和頂嘴，這裡很動人。

下一章 · 11boss around呼來喝去這場戲：現編猶太傳說哄小孩意思是「自己弄明白、想出辦法」，常用來鼓勵別人獨立解決。臺詞裡那句 You'll figure it out, darling 就是「你會想明白的，寶貝」，語氣既溫柔又放手。
break up with someone。臺詞裡的假信說 I don't want to break up with you now，就是「我現在不想跟你分手了」。break up 也可單獨用，表示關係斷了。
不是。fed up 意思是「受夠了、煩透了」，後面常接 with。I'm fed up 就是「我煩透了」，比 I'm annoyed 更口語、更帶情緒。
get a move on，是催人的口語。Come on, Shitler. Let's get a move on 就是「快走，咱們動作快點」，朋友之間、長輩催小孩都能用。
多數時候是反話，等於「一點都不意外」。看到事情果然如你所料發生時，淡淡來一句 Surprise, surprise，比直接說 I knew it 更有諷刺味。
