這場戲：家人提議明天結婚
第 10 章 · 共 14 章 · 4'05"
安德魯和瑪格麗特還在酒店房間裝情侶，雙方父母端著肉桂卷闖進來，張口就是「你們明天就在穀倉把婚結了」。奶奶一句 It would be a dream come true（夢想成真），當場堵死兩人的退路；可這樁婚事其實是 a sham（假象）。這兩句一個接長輩的話，一個說真心話，家庭場合都用得上。
「夢想成真」英語怎麼說？a dream come true

「假象」英語怎麼說？a sham

爸媽端著肉桂卷闖進酒店房間，提議安德魯和瑪格麗特明天就在自家穀倉結婚，說這是帕克斯頓家族的傳統；奶奶再用 a dream come true（夢想成真）加一句「在我死之前」，兩人只好答應，等長輩走後互相安慰這樁婚事只是個 a sham（假象），過不久就能 happily divorced（幸福地離婚）。有人還猜是媽媽把爸爸 worked up（說動、煽動）起來的。a dream come true 用來形容終於實現的心願；a sham 指徒有其表的假象；worked up 指把人煽動得情緒激動、一頭熱地參與進來。答應請求、拆穿謊言、聊八卦都能用。

“It's not like we're gonna be married forever.”
又不是說我們要結一輩子的婚。
用一句輕描淡寫的自我安慰，把假結婚說得像臨時搭夥；越把婚姻講得隨便，越顯出這句話其實說給自己聽。
It's not like we're gonna ...
在明知事情嚴重、卻想先降下壓力時用，語氣半自我安慰。
We're not in this forever. ／ Think of it as temporary and it stops hurting.
口語
not like 連讀，married forever 放慢加重。
It's not like we're gonna stay in this job forever. 又不是說我們要幹這工作一輩子。
“We'll be happily divorced before you know it.”
用不了多久，我們就會幸福地離婚了。
把離婚和幸福強行並置，用一句黑色幽默消解眼前的慌；越荒唐的樂觀，越暴露兩人其實都怕。
We'll be happily ... before you know it.
用玩笑給一件糟心事降溫時用，語氣自嘲，不適合當嚴肅承諾。
This will be over before it hurts. ／ Soon we'll laugh about the whole mess.
口語
happily divorced 連讀重讀，before you know it 一帶而過。
We'll be laughing about this mess before you know it. 用不了多久，我們就會拿這堆糟心事當笑話了。
“I've had 89 birthday parties. I don't need another one.”
我都過了89個生日了，不需要再來一個。
用一句輕飄的拒絕把「這是我最後一次生日」的重量卸掉；老人看似不在意，其實是把想要的讓給孫子。
I've had ... I don't need another one.
以過來人的姿態拒絕別人為你鋪張時用，語氣豁達帶自嘲；對真正想表達感謝的場合別用，會顯得不領情。
I've had enough birthdays for one lifetime. ／ Save the fuss for someone younger.
口語
89 birthday parties 連讀，don t need another one 放慢收尾。
I've had dozens of office parties; I don't need another one. 公司聚會我參加過幾十次了，不需要再來一個。
“We want you to get married here tomorrow.”
我們想讓你們明天就在這裡結婚。
沒有鋪墊、沒有詢問，直接把人生大事定在明天；一句平鋪直敘的好意，把所有人推著往前走。
We want you to ... here tomorrow.
長輩或主導者替別人安排好大事、語氣不容商量時用；用在朋友間會顯得強勢。
You're getting married here tomorrow. ／ We've decided: the wedding is tomorrow.
中性
We want you to 連讀，here 稍頓，tomorrow 重讀收尾。
We want you to move in here this weekend. 我們想讓你這週末就搬進來。

a dream come true。原臺詞是 It would be a dream come true for me to see my one grandchild's wedding，意思是看她唯一孫子的婚禮對她來說就是夢想成真，也可以說 It's a dream come true。
意思是被煽動得情緒激動、一頭熱起來。臺詞裡提到可能是媽媽 got him worked up into it，就是把他煽動著參與進來，常見搭配是 get someone worked up。
可以先說 Yeah, if you don't mind（如果你不介意的話）攔一下話頭，再用 We just got up（我們才剛起床）當藉口。不過戲裡兩人最後還是答應了。
一句 It's not like we're gonna be married forever（又不是要結一輩子婚），接著又補一句 We'll be happily divorced before you know it（用不了多久我們就會幸福地離婚），用輕鬆口吻互相打氣。
