ancient history陳年舊事

把愛錯人的代價說成一句化妝提醒，輕得讓人心碎。

When you're in love with X, you shouldn't Y.

半自嘲地總結一段吃虧的感情時用；對剛失戀的人說會太戳。

If you love a married man, skip the mascara. ／ Loving the wrong person always shows.

literary

in love with 連讀，married man 重音落在 married。

When you trust a sweet talker, you shouldn't be surprised. 你要是信了花言巧語的人，就別覺得意外。

一句更正把話說得又聰明又可憐，暗示有人在等他。

I said X. I didn't say Y.

糾正別人對自己的想當然時用；嚴肅場合這麼說會顯得在耍嘴皮。

I never said there was nobody there. ／ No family does not mean no one.

中性

didn't say 連讀，an empty apartment 放慢強調。

I said I was busy. I didn't say I was unhappy. 我說我忙，可沒說過我不快樂。

三個短句全是反話，越說自己開心，越讓人難受。

That's me. The happy X.

自嘲、把委屈說成玩笑時用；對正得意的人說會像挖苦。

That's me, the cheerful fool. ／ Look at me, so much fun.

口語

三個短句之間各停一下，A million laughs 收得幹。

That's me, the lucky one. 那就是我，那個走運的人。

用幸運姑娘自嘲被換掉的命運，酸味全裹在玩笑裡。

Right now some lucky ... is gonna come after me.

自嘲自己被取代、被冷落時能用；對真心難過的人別拿它開玩笑。

Some other lucky girl is next in line. ／ I'm just the one being replaced.

口語

gonna come after me 連讀，重音落在 lucky 和 me 上。

Right now some lucky intern is gonna take my desk. 這會兒準有個走運的實習生要接管我的工位了。
