這場戲：煤氣洩漏後講膝蓋糗事
第 13 章 · 共 15 章 · 4'29"
弗蘭在巴克斯特的公寓裡開煤氣燒水，卻忘了點火，滿屋子煤氣味差點出事。她自嘲 Some people take, some people get took（有人索取，有人被索取），巴克斯特則講出自己為愛開槍打中膝蓋的糗事，說 But I got over the girl in three weeks（那姑娘我三週就走出來了）。想學怎麼用英文安慰失戀的人，這段最暖。

電話那頭，奧爾森約謝爾德雷克太太吃飯，說這事跟你丈夫有關；另一邊，巴克斯特趕回公寓，發現弗蘭開了煤氣卻沒點火，滿屋子煤氣味，幸虧有人聞出來。逃過一劫後，弗蘭感慨 Some people take, some people get took（有人索取，有人被索取），說自己是被佔便宜的那類人。巴克斯特為了讓她好受，講出自己當年為愛舉槍、結果打中膝蓋的往事，還說 But I got over the girl in three weeks（可那姑娘我三週就走出來了），甚至拿出對方每年寄來的水果蛋糕作證。想學安慰失戀、自嘲和化解尷尬的地道說法，這段又暖又好笑。

有人索取，有人被索取。
一句對稱的短句把人際關係的強弱說透，像格言又像嘆息。
Some people ... , some people ...
感嘆人情世故時用；當著被說的一方講會顯得刻薄。

把軟弱說成一種性格，自嘲裡藏著說不出口的委屈。
I'm the kind of person who ...
自嘲性格、解釋自己為何總吃虧時用；對上級說像在推責任。
I've never been able to say no. ／ I'm too easy to talk into things.

You think this is the end of the world, but it's not. 你覺得這下全完了，可其實沒有。

可我三個星期就把那姑娘放下了。
重點不在戀愛，而在 get over 這個說放下的實用說法。
I got over ... in three weeks.
勸人失戀總會過去、說自己已經走出來時能用；對正傷心的人別急著用，會像敷衍。

口語
got over 連讀，get over 的重音落在 over 上。
You'll get over him faster than you think. 你會比自己想的更快放下他。
And I was mad about her. But I knew it was hopeless and I decided to end it all. - Do you know Cincinnati? - No, I don't. Anyway, I parked the car and I loaded that gun... You read in the papers that people shoot themselves. Believe me, it's not that easy. I mean, how do you do it? Here? Here? Here? - Know where I finally shot myself? - Where? - Here. - In the knee?! Yeah! I was sittin' there, tryin' to decide. A cop came up because I was illegally parked. I tried to hide the gun under the seat and it went off. - That's terrible! - It was a year till I could bend the knee. But I got over the girl in three weeks.
我瘋狂地愛著她。可我知道沒指望了，就決定一了百了。 ——你知道辛辛那提嗎？——不知道。 總之，我把車停好，給槍上了膛…… 報紙上老寫有人開槍自殺。信我，沒那麼容易。 我是說，往哪兒打？這兒？這兒？還是這兒？ ——你知道我最後打中哪兒了嗎？——哪兒？ ——這兒。——膝蓋？！ 對！我當時就坐在那兒，拿不定主意。 一個警察走過來，因為我違章停車了。 我想把槍藏到座位底下，結果它走火了。 ——太慘了！——我過了整整一年膝蓋才彎得下來。 可那姑娘，我三個星期就走出來了。
下一章 · 14had it coming活該這場戲：兩人晚餐被姐夫打斷意思是「不會拒絕人」。原句 I'm the kind of guy who can't say no，就是「我就是那種不會拒絕人的傢伙」，指別人一開口就答應。
說 get over。原句 I got over the girl in three weeks，就是「那姑娘我三週就走出來了」，指從失戀裡緩過來。

不算罵人，指「只索取的人」。弗蘭說 He's a taker，後面又補 Some people take, some people get took，也就是有人索取、有人被佔便宜。
說 the end of the world。巴克斯特勸弗蘭 You think it's the end of the world. But it's not，意思是別把它當成天大的事。
