夫妻为太阳灯吵翻:the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate

孩子先说有个小孩欺负他,又提到妈妈那盏太阳灯着了火;火已经灭了,有人却一句 What fire?(什么火)追问下去。想学吵架时怎么把责任推给对方,记住 if you were here more(你要是多在家),还有 the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate(阴阳怪气大师),损人都不带脏字。

发生了什么

孩子讲起有个小孩欺负他,又提到妈妈那盏太阳灯着了火。火已经灭了,可一句 What fire?(什么火)还是追问下去;后面又有一句 There is no fire(现在哪还有火),话头绕回这件事。if you were here more(你要是多在家)把缺席说成条件,责任就落到对方身上。有人还说 We're not happy(我们不幸福),可他们吵完又黏在一起,这就是 that's our thing(我们的相处模式)。最值得学的是几句生活里能直接用的表达:put out(扑灭)讲灭火,the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate(阴阳怪气大师)形容人拐着弯损人,日常吐槽、情侣拌嘴都能用。

本章短语

the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate

没有火。也许你要是多在家待着,本来就不会起火。 把假设变成指责:不直接骂你,却句句说你不在。

I thought you were mysterious, like my mother, until it turned out that "mysterious" just meant "depressed," all right'? "Hard to reach."

我原以为你像我妈一样神秘,后来才发现“神秘”只是“抑郁”的体面说法,好吧?“难以接近。” 把好听的标签当场拆穿,自嘲又扎心。

We fight and we fuck and that's what we do. That's our thing.

我们吵架、上床,这就是我们的相处方式。这就是我们俩的事。 粗话与亲昵并置,把一段关系的死循环说透。

She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.

她是被动攻击式空手道界的毕加索。 用画家名字包装阴招,损人又精准。

She was better than any con artist I ever met, including myself, and she had me like nobody had me.

You might say she was my karma for how I took advantage of people.

你可以说,她是我占别人便宜招来的报应。 把伴侣说成因果报应,怨气里带一点认命。

关于这一章的问题

「扑灭(火)」英语怎么说?

说 put out。台词里 after we put out the fire 就是「我们把火扑灭以后」;put out 后面直接接 the fire。

if you were here more 是什么意思?

意思是「你要是多在家」。台词里用它把着火的责任推给对方:你要是多在家,压根就不会着火。常用来怪对方缺席。

「阴阳怪气大师」英语怎么说?

可以用 the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate。字面是「消极对抗式空手道的毕加索」,台词里形容一个人特别会拐着弯损人、阴阳怪气。

that's our thing 在这里指什么?

指「我们的相处模式」。台词里把它说成两个人吵架、上床的固定相处方式,也就是这段关系本来的样子。

mysterious just meant depressed 是在说什么?

这句在说:原以为对方像我妈一样「神秘」,后来发现所谓「神秘」其实就是「抑郁」、「难以靠近」。mysterious just meant depressed 就是「“神秘”其实是“抑郁”」。
