這場戲：公寓開趴逐個介紹
第 4 章 · 共 10 章 · 3'40"
秋天第一場公寓派對，屋裡全是人，有人挨個介紹。一位被叫做 goddess of the scene（圈子裡人人追捧的人），同一句後半就是誰都想得到她；另一個看著像書呆，卻是 hard-core（硬核、玩真的）。別人外形和你想的不一樣時，這兩句比空誇更準。
看著像書呆，卻是 hard-core（硬核、玩真的）
goddess of the scene 圈子裡人人追捧的人a total nerd 看著完全是一副書呆子樣hard-core 硬核、玩真的not a poser 不是裝的
❝ 獨白 · 15 句 他喜歡買東西 show it off（拿出來給人炫耀）
not even a peer 連圈子裡的同輩都算不上show it off 拿出來給人炫耀independently wealthy 靠自己的財產過活，不靠上班loved company 就是喜歡有人陪在旁邊
❝ 獨白 · 7 句 把亂說成有點煩
炫耀當共有毛病，稱不關己，嚇翻臉偷收進Chaos，末了說煩。
公寓裡秋天第一場派對開了，有人在屋裡挨個認人。一位被稱作 goddess of the scene（圈子裡人人追捧的人），同一句後半是 Everybody really wants her，誰都想得到她。旁邊一個看著像書呆的人，被說成 hard-core（硬核、玩真的），外形和圈子地位完全對不上。有人打招呼 how's it rollin'（隨口問最近順不順），對方回 Rolling fine。還有人愛買東西 show it off（拿出來給人炫耀），雷射影碟、水床和五千塊的機器都要當場演示給人看。誇圈子裡的紅人、拆穿書呆外形、隨口問近況、說人愛顯擺，朋友聚會時都能用上。
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。
“She is the goddess of the scene. Everybody really wants her.”
她是這個圈子的女神。誰都真心想得到她。
先當場封神，再把慾望說滿，吹得直，沒有鋪墊。
She is the goddess of X.
小圈子裡當眾吹朋友可以用，人不熟或正式場合別說。
她是全場的焦點 ／ 人人都想跟她搭上話
口語
goddess 和 wants 加重，her 輕收
She is the goddess of the group chat. Everybody waits for her reply. 她是群聊裡的女神，大家都等她回訊息。
“He's not a poser. He looks like a total nerd, right?”
他不是裝的。他看著完全像個書呆子，對吧？
先把裝的人摘乾淨，再用書呆外表吊著你，反差一句立住。
He's not a X. He looks like a Y.
跟朋友介紹反差人物時可以說，當著本人或正式場合別說。
看著不像，其實最真 ／ 別被這身打扮騙了
口語
poser 與 nerd 兩頭重，right 向上揚
He's not a tourist. He looks like a beginner, right? 他不是來玩票的。看著像新手，對吧？
“More stupid than you already are.”
比你現在這樣還要蠢。
順著359那句會變蠢的警告往上加碼，中間隔著「Fuck you!」，句子短，刀口卻更寬。
More X than you already are.
熟人互損時可以接這一句，對上司或生人就是尋釁。
你已經夠蠢了 ／ 這隻會讓你更糟
口語
stupid 壓最重，already 快速帶過
More broke than you already are. 你會比現在更窮。
“The thing was, he liked to buy stuff and show it off.”
問題是，他喜歡買東西，還喜歡拿出來炫。
The thing was 一轉，把有錢說成毛病，買和炫綁死在一起。
The thing was, he liked to X.
私下跟朋友總結某人的毛病可以，正式評價別這麼口語。
說白了他就愛顯擺 ／ 買的不是用，是給人看
口語
thing 先重讀，show 再落一拍
The thing was, he liked to cook and narrate every step. 問題是，他愛做飯，還愛把每一步講給你聽。
“It was a character flaw, sure, but we all have those.”
這確實是性格上的毛病，不過誰沒有呢。
先把缺點認下來，再用我們都有把刺收軟，像開脫又沒真忘。
It was a X, sure, but we all have those.
替熟人緩頰或自己自嘲可以，批評客戶和寫公文別用。
誰還沒點毛病 ／ 確實不好，可大家都這樣
口語
sure 後停半拍，all 加重
It was a bad habit, sure, but we all have those. 這確實是壞習慣，不過誰沒有呢。
“Why, he's nothing, really. He's not even a peer.”
說起來，他其實什麼都不是。連同輩都算不上。
先把人收成什麼都不是，再補上連同輩都不是，立場一下就釘死。
He's nothing, not even a X.
私下跟朋友把某人排出圈子時可以說，當著本人或正式場合別說。
他算不上自己人 ／ 連圈裡的位置都沒有
口語
nothing 先壓住，peer 再落重
He's nothing in their group. He's not even a spare. 他在他們那群人裡什麼都不是，連替補都算不上。
Hey, this is Mark. Now, Mark is not a punk rocker. Why, he's nothing, really. He's not even a peer. But everybody knew him, and all the tribes love him... because he always had pot and acid. What this crazy foreign fuck was doing behind this Iron Curtain, I had no idea. I don't think anyone in Utah really knew... but we did know that he was rich, loaded with killer bud... and completely out of his fuckin' mind. Now, Mark was rich, but not because he was a pusher, which he really wasn't. He was independently wealthy. His whole family died in a plane crash over in Europe when he was five. The thing was, he liked to buy stuff and show it off. His bank account bulged from the insurance off the crash. So you'd have to sit through some bullshit if you wanted to score... because the one thing about Mark, he loved company.
嘿，這是馬克。馬克可不是朋克。 說真的，他什麼都不是。連個同類都算不上。 可誰都認識他，各個圈子都喜歡他…… 因為他總有大麻和迷幻藥。 這瘋老外在鐵幕後面到底幹過什麼，我完全不知道。 我覺得猶他沒人真正知道…… 但我們知道他有錢，手裡全是極品大麻…… 而且他媽徹底瘋了。 馬克有錢，可不是因為他是毒販，他其實根本不算毒販。 他是那種不用幹活就有錢的人。 他五歲那年，全家在歐洲一場空難裡死了。 問題是，他喜歡買東西顯擺。 空難的保險金把他的賬戶撐得鼓鼓的。 所以你要想搞到貨，就得先坐著聽他扯一通屁話…… 因為馬克這人就一樣，他喜歡有人陪。
It was a character flaw, sure, but we all have those. This part didn't concern me. The main problem with Mark... was that he was intimidating, and he had a tendency to snap. He was always afraid of getting ripped off... yet at the same time, he ripped things off without shame or guilt. Chaos in man, although hopeful... could also be, you know, a little tiresome.
這確實是性格上的毛病，可誰都有。 這部分我不在意。馬克的主要問題…… 是他讓人發怵，而且動不動就炸。 他總怕被人坑…… 可他自己坑起人來，毫無羞恥，也不內疚。 人身上的混亂，雖然帶著希望…… 也可能，你知道，有點煩人。
下一章 · 05stiff me該給的不給這場戲：講完墜機翻口袋介紹到 Trish 時，原話是 She is the goddess of the scene，同一句後半是 Everybody really wants her。不是遠處的神話，就是這圈子裡人人追捧、誰都想得到的那一位。
原句是 He looks like a total nerd。下一句說 his name's Mike，接著是 He's one of the most hard-core guys in the scene。看著像書呆，hard-core 是硬核、玩真的，most 才把他放進圈子裡最玩真的那撥人。
有人衝著 Mark 喊 Hey, Mark, how's it rollin'，下一句是 Rolling fine。就是見面隨口問最近順不順，對方回混得挺好，不是長篇近況彙報。
英語說 show it off。原句 he liked to buy stuff and show it off，他喜歡買了就拿出來給人炫耀。雷射影碟、沒浪的水床、五千塊的機器，都是買來給人看的。
派對第一句就是 The first order of business, we threw a party at our apartment。先辦頭一件事，落到自己公寓裡這場派對。把一件事排到最前，用的就是這句。
