這場戲：百貨商場裡的地下情
第 9 章 · 共 23 章 · 2'43"
百貨商場裡，瑪麗和已婚的耶魯偷偷見面。耶魯一開口就是 I missed you so much（我好想你），瑪麗卻提醒 Yale, this is ridiculous. You're married（這太荒唐了，你結婚了）；他說不如 Why don't I just move out（我乾脆搬出來），她搖頭：I don't wanna break up a marriage（我不想拆散一個家庭），而且 someone's gonna see us（會被人看見）。
Can't you hold me?（你就不能抱抱我嗎）
can't stand 受不了某事hold me 抱抱我express itself sexually 用性來表達a pushover 好說話的人
布盧明代爾百貨裡，瑪麗剛掛了電話——上一句還在聊艾薩克和特蕾西，問他是不是要跟特蕾西 apartment hunting（找房子）。耶魯湊過來，一開口就是 I missed you so much（我好想你），瑪麗立刻說 Yale, this is ridiculous. You're married（這太荒唐了，你結婚了）。耶魯問 Why don't I just move out（我乾脆搬出來），瑪麗說不：I don't wanna break up a marriage（我不想拆散一個家庭），也不想 any big involvement（陷得太深）。可兩人嘴上推拉，身體卻不聽：It's crazy. I think about you when you're not around（太瘋了，你不在我就想你）。他提議 Let's go somewhere and make love（找地方做愛），她拒絕，說有人在看，又問他 Can't you hold me（你就不能抱抱我嗎），最後自己嘆氣：I'm a pushover（我太好說話了）。
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。
“- Why don't I just move out? - No! I don't wanna break up a marriage.”
——我乾脆搬出來算了？——不！我不想拆散一個家庭。
一句「不想拆散家庭」把誘惑擋回去，立場比任何解釋都硬。
I don't wanna break up ...
拒絕會傷及旁人的關係時用；對當事人說會顯得居高臨下。
I won't be the reason a family falls apart. ／ I'm not going to wreck their marriage.
口語
I don't wanna 連讀，break up a 連成一串，marriage 收重。
I like you, but I don't wanna break up a marriage. 我喜歡你，但我不想拆散一個家庭。
“It's crazy. It's crazy. I think about you when you're not around.”
這太瘋了。太瘋了。你不在的時候我老想你。
重複的瘋狂加一句想念，把越界的感情說得又真又危險。
I think about you when you're not around.
對喜歡的人承認想念時用；對已有伴侶的人說會越界。
You cross my mind even when you're gone. ／ I keep thinking about you all day.
中性
It's crazy 兩遍節奏漸快，when you're not around 放慢收尾。
It's silly, but I think about you when you're not around. 挺傻的，可你不在的時候我老想你。
“Can't you hold me? Does your love for me always have to express itself sexually?”
你就不能抱抱我嗎？你對我的愛非得用性來表達嗎？
兩個問句層層逼問，把「愛」和「性」的落差一下子攤開。
Does your love for me always have to ...?
質問對方只想要身體時用；氣頭上說殺傷力很大。
Can't we just be close without anything else? ／ Why does it always have to be about sex?
口語
Can't you 連讀，express itself 重讀，句尾語調上揚。
Does every evening together have to end in an argument? 每次一起過晚上，都得吵一架收場嗎？
“- I missed you so much. - Yale, this is ridiculous. You're married.”
耶魯，這太荒唐了。你結婚了。
用兩個最短的句子把曖昧的遮羞布一把扯掉，冷靜而鋒利。
This is ridiculous. You're married.
提醒對方認清現實、別越界時用；在氣頭上當眾說會讓對方下不來臺，私下說更有效。
This is absurd. You're married. ／ Stop — you have a wife.
中性
Yale 停頓，this is ridiculous 降調，You're married 逐詞重讀。
This is ridiculous. You're engaged. 這太荒唐了。你訂婚了。
下一章 · 10wind up最終落得這場戲：茶室鬥嘴後雨中散步指拆散一段婚姻、把別人的家庭弄散。原句 I don't wanna break up a marriage，就是「我不想拆散一個家庭」，婚外情場景裡很常用。
就是「找房子」。hunt 本來是打獵，apartment hunting 把找房子說成一場狩獵，原句問對方是不是要跟特蕾西一起去找房。
be uncomfortable around someone。原句 I always think he's uncomfortable around me，就是「我總覺得他跟我在一起不自在」，替換成 comfortable 就是反義。
see someone 或 be seeing someone。原句 I should be seeing someone who's not married，就是「我該跟一個沒結婚的人來往」。
can't stand。原句 I can't stand the dog and the phone ringing，就是「我受不了那條狗和響個不停的電話」，語氣很直接。
指好說話、容易被說服的人。原句 Jesus, I'm a pushover，是自嘲「我太好說話了」，明明想拒絕還是妥協了。
