這場戲：餐廳裡爭論假裝高潮
第 11 章 · 共 20 章 · 4'42"
在餐廳裡，哈利炫耀自己有個不談性的紅顏知己，莎莉一句 You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman（你對全體女性都是一種侮辱，而我是女人）懟回去。聊到女人會不會假裝高潮，莎莉說 Most women, at one time or another, have faked it（大多數女人早早晚晚都裝過）。想學怎麼用英語抬槓，這幾句很過癮。
❝ 獨白 · 8 句 哈利的關係高論
哈利越說越得意，把劈腿說成自由，給後面的打臉埋好伏筆。
「早早晚晚會有一回」英語是 at one time or another
fake orgasm 假裝高潮at one time or another 早早晚晚會有一回get outta here 少來do the math 自己算算吧
在餐廳裡，哈利講起自己的糟糕約會，說對方沒反應，也講到自己有個能無話不談、卻不涉及性的女性朋友。莎莉點破他 You're afraid to let yourself be happy（你是不敢讓自己幸福），又說他 You are a human affront to all women, and I am a woman（對全體女性都是侮辱，而我是女人）。兩人爭到女人會不會假裝高潮，莎莉說 Most women, at one time or another, have faked it（大多數女人早早晚晚都裝過）。後來在熟食店，莎莉當場演了一齣，哈利只好認輸。想學抬槓和點破朋友，這些說法很實用：downshift into small talk 是把話頭降級硬聊，give someone credit 是認可某人，end up doing 是最後落得某種結果。

一句話點破哈利所有漂亮話背後的怕，短卻扎人。

雙重否定把一長串過往說得像一句坦白，很有衝擊力。

Every relationship I've had involved sex. ／ I've never kept one of these completely platonic.

用一本正經的大詞罵人，越正式越好笑，也越有殺傷力。

一句輕描淡寫的資料把男性自信釘在牆上，平靜得比爭吵更刺人。

中性
Why 短促上揚，at one time or another 快速帶過，have faked it 重讀收尾。

Like the other night, I made love to this woman, and it was so incredible... I took her to a place that wasn't human. She actually meowed. - You made a woman meow? - Yeah. That's the point. I can say these things to her. And the great thing is, I don't have to lie... because I'm not always thinking about how to get her into bed. I can just be myself.
比如那天晚上，我跟一個女人做愛，感覺簡直不可思議…… 我帶她去了一個超凡脫俗的地方。 她居然學貓叫了。 ——你讓一個女人學貓叫？——是啊。 重點就在這兒。這些話我都能跟她說。 最棒的是，我不用撒謊…… 因為我不是總在盤算怎麼把她弄上床。 我可以做我自己。
下一章 · 12hit it off一見就合得來這場戲：倒計時時溜出去透氣意思是「把話頭降級、轉入閒聊」。臺詞裡 I downshift into small talk 就是約會冷場了，只好硬找家常話聊，畫面感很強。
give someone credit。臺詞裡 Why can't you give me credit for this 就是「你就不能誇誇我嗎」，指承認並肯定對方做得好。
get outta here，是 get out of here 的口語縮略，表示不信、覺得對方在胡扯。臺詞裡一句 Get outta here 就是「別鬧了、少來」。
let yourself be happy，常和 afraid 連用。臺詞裡 You're afraid to let yourself be happy 就是「你是不敢讓自己幸福」，用來點破朋友故意把幸福推開。
表示「最後落得、結果是」，強調意料之外的結局。臺詞裡 I would have ended up being some woman 就是「我最後也會變成某個女人」。
