這場戲：舞會上被威洛比冷落
第 18 章 · 共 27 章 · 3'28"
倫敦舞會上，瑪麗安終於撞見威洛比，衝上去一句 Will you not shake hands with me?（你不肯跟我握手嗎？），對方卻冷冰冰地客套，只說 must rejoin my party（得回自己那邊）。瑪麗安當眾失魂，被埃莉諾拉走。姐妹倆吵起來：你從不 confide in（向人交心）。想學舊式社交的冷淡與姐妹拌嘴，這段很扎心。
冷落：Will you not shake hands with me?（你不肯跟我握手嗎？）
shake hands with 跟…握手come to see me 來看某人For heaven's sake 看在老天分上
「向人交心」：confide in（向某人交心）
no confidence in 不信任某人confide in 向某人交心conceal nothing 什麼都不隱瞞
倫敦舞會上，瑪麗安終於等到威洛比，可他只肯用 How do you do, Miss Marianne?（你好，瑪麗安小姐）這樣冷冰冰的客套。瑪麗安幾乎是求他：Why have you not come to see me?（你為什麼一直不來看我？）For heaven's sake, Willoughby. Tell me what is wrong.（看在老天分上，告訴我到底怎麼了）。威洛比卻借 if you will excuse me（請恕我失陪）抽身。埃莉諾拉走失魂的瑪麗安，回程兩人為信任吵翻：This reproach from you? You who confide in no one?（這話輪得到你說我？你自己從不跟人交心）。瑪麗安冷冷回敬：I conceal nothing, and you communicate nothing（我從不隱瞞，而你什麼都不肯說）。想學舊式社交的冷遇、客套和姐妹拌嘴，這段很典型。

“Will you not shake hands with me?”
你不肯跟我握手嗎？
一句否定問句把委屈、質問和挽留全壓在一個動作上。
Will you not ... with me?
對方刻意疏遠、你想討個說法時用；指責意味重，慎用。
Won't you shake my hand? ／ You won't even look at me?
中性
Will you not 連讀，重音落在 not 上。
Will you not even say hello to me? 你連聲招呼都不肯跟我打嗎？
“Were you not in London? Have you not received my letters?”
你不是在倫敦嗎？你沒收到我的信嗎？
兩個否定問句連著砸過去，把被躲開的委屈問到底。
Have you not received my ...?
明明給過對方機會、對方卻裝不知道時用；語氣很衝。
Didn't you get my messages? ／ Were you not there at all?
中性
Were you not 連讀，兩句間稍停再壓上去。
Have you not received my emails all week? 我這一週的郵件你都沒收到嗎？
“For heaven's sake, Willoughby. Tell me what is wrong.”
看在老天分上，威洛比。告訴我到底怎麼了。
先哀求再逼問，一句話裡又軟又急，很有畫面。
For heaven's sake, tell me ...
催一個不肯開口的人、自己又急又氣時用；別對上司說。
For God's sake, just tell me. ／ Please, tell me what happened.
口語
heaven's sake 連讀，Tell me 加重。
For heaven's sake, tell me what the letter said. 看在老天分上，快告訴我信上寫了什麼。
“This reproach from you? You who confide in no one?”
這話輪得到你說我？你自己從不跟人交心。
用對方自己的毛病回敬，反問一齣口就無法反駁。
This reproach from you?
對方自己也有同樣毛病卻來怪你時用；吵起來很難收場。
You of all people say that? ／ And you're the one telling me this?
中性
reproach from 連讀，第二句 who 處挑起。
This reproach from you? You're never on time either. 這話輪得到你說我？你自己也從沒準時過。
“I, because I conceal nothing, and you, because you communicate nothing.”
我沒什麼可說的，是因為我從不隱瞞；你沒什麼可說的，是因為你什麼都不肯說。
兩個 because 對稱排開，把姐妹倆的性格一句話點透。
I, because ..., and you, because ...
把人品差異擺開對比、又不想吵破臉時用；書面也漂亮。
I hide nothing; you reveal nothing. ／ I say it all, and you say nothing.
正式
兩個 because 前後呼應，conceal 與 communicate 對重。
I, because I ask first, and you, because you never ask at all. 我是因為凡事都先問一句，你是因為從來不肯問。
“If I might be so bold, it would be our pleasure to escort your charge home.”
恕我冒昧，我們很樂意送您照看的這位小姐回家。
客氣到極點，把趁人之危的意圖包成了紳士風度。
If I might be so bold, it would be our pleasure to ...
想提一個略越界的請求時用；正式、場合越重越合適。
If I may be so bold, allow us to ... ／ Might I suggest that we ...
正式
might be so 連讀，pleasure 與 escort 放慢。
If I might be so bold, it would be our pleasure to drive you home. 恕我冒昧，我們很樂意開車送您回去。
下一章 · 19engaged elsewhere情意另有所屬這場戲：讀信與否認訂婚指「向某人交心、把心事說給對方」。戲裡瑪麗安反諷姐姐從不 confide in no one，就是「你從不向人交心」。
說 for heaven's sake，用來催促或求人。戲裡瑪麗安急著追問威洛比，開口就是 For heaven's sake, tell me what is wrong。
字面是「鄉下式樣」，在倫敦社交圈裡帶點瞧不起的意味。戲裡旁人用它嘲笑達什伍德姐妹土氣。
指「恕我冒昧、斗膽」，是開口提請求前的客氣鋪墊。戲裡有人用它主動提出送人回家，顯得既殷勤又得體。
指「狀態反常、不像平時的自己」。戲裡說 Mr. Pigeon was not himself all day，就是「皮金先生一整天都不對勁」。
