“'Cause there's gotta be a shelf life on guilt.”
因為內疚也得有個保質期。
把道德概念塞進一個日常詞裡:內疚也有過期日。說的人想往前走,聽的人卻會立刻分辨這是體諒還是開脫。一句話,兩種立場,非常好用。
There's gotta be a shelf life on ...
想為某段負面情緒設一個期限、推動彼此翻篇時用。
Guilt cannot last forever. / At some point the apology has to be enough.
口語
gotta be 連讀,shelf life 重讀,on guilt 輕輕收尾。
Guilt has to expire at some point. 愧疚總得有個到期的時候。
