第 30 章 · 共 30 章 · 4'38"
亨伯特找到已嫁人又窮困的洛麗塔，聽她坦白當年真正痴迷的是奎爾蒂：他帶她去新墨西哥，逼她拍片，不肯就把她趕走。她想把舊賬一筆帶過，說 the past is the past（過去就過去了）；亨伯特只回一句 You could have come back to me（你本可以回到我身邊）。舊情對話裡的冷淡心酸，全在這幾句。

亨伯特找到已嫁人、懷孕又窮困的洛麗塔。她提起當年他搬進她家，說自己 had a crush on（暗戀過）奎爾蒂，還誇他是天才、有東方式的人生哲學。奎爾蒂帶她去新墨西哥的 dude ranch（度假牧場），要她跟一群怪人配合拍「藝術電影」，她不肯，就被趕走。她說 the past is the past（過去就過去了），還說他是自己唯一真正 crazy about（痴迷）的男人；亨伯特只回一句 You could have come back to me（你本可以回到我身邊）。隨後迪克和鄰居比爾回來，聊起去阿拉斯加的機會。翻舊賬、坦白、放下的場合，這些說法都用得上。
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。
“...my whole world didn't revolve around you.”
……我的整個世界並不是圍著你轉的。
一句遲到的宣告，把多年被當作中心的人拉回原位，平靜卻顛覆全域性。
my whole world didn't revolve around you
回擊自我中心的人時用，語氣要穩；關係正緊張時說出來很傷，慎用。
not everything was about you ／ my world didn't center on you
中性
revolve around 連讀，重音落在 whole 和 you，句尾下沉。
My whole world didn't revolve around you, you know. 我的整個世界又不是圍著你轉的。
“I guess he was the only guy I was ever really crazy about.”
他大概是我唯一真正著迷過的人。
承認得輕描淡寫，卻很狠：聽起來是坦白，其實是對眼前人的判決。
the only ... I was ever really crazy about
講舊情時用，語氣放低更重；對著當事人說會讓人下不來臺。
the only one I ever fell hard for ／ the only person I was ever wild about
口語
guess 輕帶，重音在 only 和 crazy，about 收輕。
That city was the only place I was ever really crazy about. 那座城市是我唯一真正著迷過的地方。
“You have no right to say that. After all, the past is the past.”
你沒資格這麼說。畢竟，過去就過去了。
先劃界再收口，用「過去就過去了」把責任一筆勾銷，是這場戲最鋒利的一句擋箭牌。
the past is the past
想把舊事翻篇時用，語氣乾脆；對還在受傷的人說，會被當成逃避責任。
what's done is done ／ it's all water under the bridge
中性
have no right 重讀，the past is the past 平穩重複、收句下沉。
You have no right to bring that up; the past is the past. 你沒資格再提那事，過去就過去了。
“You could have come back to me.”
你本來可以回到我身邊的。
用 could have 點出那個沒被選的選擇，一句輕話裡全是遲到的責怪和遺憾。
You could have ...
對錯過的人表達遺憾或責怪時能用；事情已翻篇、關係又敏感，說之前要想清楚。
You could have said something. ／ You had the chance to come back.
中性
could have 縮成 could-uv，重音在 back，句尾輕輕落下。
You could have asked me for help; I was right there. 你本來可以找我幫忙的，我就在旁邊。
“Look, don't make fun of me. I don't have to tell you a blasted thing.”
行了，別拿我開玩笑。我憑什麼都得告訴你。
先用 Look 叫停，再用 blasted 這種老式髒字加碼，把受審的委屈和倔強一起甩出來。
I don't have to ... a blasted thing.
被追問得煩、想劃清界限時能用；對方是長輩或正式場合，換成 anything 更得體。
I don't owe you an explanation. ／ I don't have to tell you anything.
口語
don't make fun of me 連讀，blasted 重讀，thing 收得乾脆。
I don't have to justify a blasted thing to a stranger. 我憑什麼都用不著跟一個陌生人交代。
I'd had a crush on him ever since the times... ...that he used to come and visit Mother. He wasn't like you and me. He wasn't a normal person. He was a genius. He had a kind of... ...beautiful Japanese, Oriental philosophy of life. You know that hotel we stopped at on the way back from camp? It was just by accident that he was staying there... ...but it didn't take him long to figure out what was going on between us. From that moment on he was up to every trick he could think of.
我從那時候就一直暗戀他…… ……從他常來看媽媽那會兒起。 他跟你我不一樣。 他不是個正常人。 他是個天才。 他有一種…… ……很美的日本式、東方式的人生哲學。 你知道我們從夏令營回來路上住的那家旅館吧？ 他住那兒純屬巧合…… ……可他沒多久就看出來我們倆之間的事了。 從那以後，他能想到的花招都使上了。
它是「過去就過去了」，用來勸人別再翻舊賬、別再糾結。洛麗塔用這句話想把當年的事一筆帶過，語氣裡有點冷淡，也有點回避。
就是 Congratulations, 但語氣一沉就成了諷刺。亨伯特開頭一句 Well, congratulations，是看到洛麗塔的處境後說的，一點恭喜的意思都沒有。
可以說 figure out，比如 figure out what was going on 就是「弄明白髮生了什麼」。它常指靠推理或觀察把事情想通，是日常很常用的短語。
它指美國西部那種供遊客體驗騎馬、放牧的「度假牧場」，dude 是「城裡來體驗的客人」。洛麗塔說奎爾蒂帶她去的正是聖菲附近的 dude ranch。
它是口語，指機器「出故障、不好使」，比如 the phone's on the blink 就是電話壞了。迪克讓亨伯特大點聲，就是因為他以為電話出了毛病。
