《夏日痴魂》這段在聖瑪麗：庫克羅維茨醫生讓凱瑟琳回憶去年夏天的狂歡節。她說有個男人 took me home（送她回家），隨後又說了一句殘忍的話：We'd better forget it（我們還是把這事忘了吧）。她先是 I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat（以為自己是回去取外套），其實根本不是——I'd gone back to make a scene（我是回去大鬧一場的）。她衝進舞廳，用拳頭捶他，最後 Cousin Sebastian took me away（塞巴斯蒂安表哥把我拉開了）。醫生接著問起塞巴斯蒂安，她說 He liked me, so I loved him（他喜歡我，所以我也愛他）。想學回憶、衝動和隱晦情感的英文，這段最揪心。
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。
“He liked me, so I loved him.”
他喜歡我，所以我也愛他。
把一種被推著走的情感說得又輕又痛，短句裡全是宿命。
so 引出因果：……，所以我……
回憶一段身不由己的感情時用；正式報告或道歉信裡別這麼輕描淡寫。
He was kind to me, so I trusted him. ／ She needed me, so I stayed.
中性
liked 和 loved 都重讀，so I 輕快帶過。
He needed someone, so I stayed longer than I should have. 他需要人陪，所以我一待就待得太久了。
“I hadn't gone back for that at all. I'd gone back to make a scene.”
我根本不是為了那個回去的。我是回去大鬧一場的。
前半句否認，後半句抖出真相，一收一放，把自毀說得理直氣壯。
I hadn't ... at all. I'd ... to ...
坦白自己真正的動機時用；對不熟的人或在正式場合這樣自曝會失分寸。
I didn't go there to help; I went there to settle a score. ／ It wasn't about the money at all; it was about proving a point.
中性
hadn't 輕讀吞音，at all 連讀，make a scene 放慢強調。
I didn't go back for the notebook at all. I went back to say goodbye. 我根本不是回去拿筆記本的。我是回去道別的。
“I'm trying to make you feel sorry for her.”
我是想讓你同情她。
把操縱同情心這件心機說得毫不遮掩，冷靜得讓人後脊發涼。
I'm trying to make you feel ...
承認自己在情緒上引導別人時用；職場上這麼坦白容易引火。
I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. ／ I just want you to see her side of it.
口語
trying to 連讀，feel sorry for 一氣流過，her 輕讀。
I'm not trying to make you feel sorry for me, but this week was brutal. 我不是想讓你同情我，但這週真的太難了。
“I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat. But I hadn't.”
我以為我回去是為了拿外套，其實不是。
用“我以為”加一句反轉，把自己騙自己和爆發之間那點清醒說透了。
I thought I'd gone back to ___. But I hadn't.
承認自己嘴上給的理由不是真的時用；對不熟的人說這種自省會顯得交淺言深。
I told myself I went back for my coat, but that was a lie. ／ I thought I wanted one thing; I wanted another.
literary
I thought 輕，I'd gone back 連讀，But I hadn't 放慢、降調。
I thought I came back for my keys. But I hadn't. 我以為我回來是拿鑰匙，其實不是。
I lost him. He took me home. Then he said an awful thing to me. He said: "We'd better forget it. My wife's expecting a child, and..." I just entered the house and sat there thinking a while. I called a taxi and rushed to the Roosevelt Hotel ballroom. The ball was still going on. I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat. But I hadn't. I hadn't gone back for that at all. I'd gone back to make a scene. I didn't pick up Aunt Violet's silver fox in the coatroom. I rushed right into the ballroom, spotted him on the floor... ...ran up to him and started... ...to beat him in the face and the chest with my fists till... ...Cousin Sebastian took me away.
我把他弄丟了。 他送我回家。 然後他對我說了句很殘忍的話。他說：“我們還是把這事忘了吧。 我妻子懷著孩子，還有……” 我回到家，坐在那兒想了半天。 我叫了輛計程車，趕到羅斯福酒店的舞廳。 舞會還在進行。 我以為我是回去取外套的。其實不是。 我根本不是為了取外套回去的。我是回去大鬧一場的。 我沒在衣帽間拿維奧萊特姑媽的銀狐皮草。 我徑直衝進舞廳，在舞池裡看見了他…… ……朝他跑過去，然後就…… ……用拳頭捶他的臉和胸口，直到…… ……塞巴斯蒂安表哥把我拉開了。
下一章 · 12burn up燒光這場戲：烈日海灘回憶中斷意思是「當眾大鬧一場、鬧出難看場面」。臺詞 I'd gone back to make a scene 就是「我是回去大鬧一場的」，語氣裡帶著自嘲。
feel sorry for。臺詞 I'm trying to make you feel sorry for her 就是「我是想讓你同情她」。注意它後面接人，別和 feel sorry about 混用。
這裡不是「撿起」，而是「順手取走、拿上」。臺詞 I thought I'd gone back to pick up my coat 就是「我以為自己是回去取外套的」，其實是另有目的。
意思是「錯亂的、精神失常的」，比 crazy 更書面、更醫學術語化。凱瑟琳自嘲 my poor deranged mind，是用別人的診斷標籤反過來說自己。
意思是「以什麼方式、怎麼個……法」，用來追問細節。臺詞 in what way did you love him 就是「你是怎麼愛他的？」，比單問 how 更具體。
