在坎昆的度假酒店，大人拿出一堆雙人浮潛、瑪雅遺址夜遊名額，想先把孩子支開，還說他們會 the time of their life（玩得無比開心）。凱特不吃這套，直接問 This isn't some trick just to get us out of the way（這該不會是把我們支開的把戲吧），還猜是想向媽媽 propose to（求婚）。母女倆拌了幾句，凱特說 You should try not to forget Dad（你也最好別忘了爸爸）。可等冷靜下來，她認錯：I don't know what came over me（我也不知道自己怎麼了），還說 you've been dying to（一直特別想）看那些遺址，讓媽媽放心去。轉頭她卻偷偷改簽機票想提前回家。想學親子間的頂撞、道歉和嘴硬心軟，這些表達都很日常。

“And I promise, you won't have to worry about me for the rest of the trip.”

“I just wish we could be independent in closer proximity.”

I just wish we could be ... in closer proximity.
表達想獨立又捨不得分開時用，帶書卷氣和傷感。
I wish we could grow up without growing apart. ／ Be independent, but stay close.

下一章 · 04a real drag真沒勁這場戲：溜走搭錯車到北極意思是「玩得無比開心」。戲裡說孩子會 have the time of their life，就是「他們會玩得特別盡興」，常用來勸人放心去玩。

been dying to。戲裡說 you've been dying to see those Mayan ruins，就是「你一直特別想去看那些遺址」。
