❝ 独白 · 14 句 写给死去女友的歌
从‘想你’唱到‘再见了宝贝’，玩笑里全是放不下。
艾丽莎打来电话说要带走孩子，因为马克既不肯娶她、身边又有别人。马克又急又怕：他怕对方 all of a sudden（冷不丁）就搬到 out of state（外州），也怕她 she don't give a fuck（压根不在乎）他的感受。他一遍遍问，凭什么不能既跟爱人在一起、又留着孩子。旁边一句 You can't have your cake and eat it too（你不能两头都想占着）点破了难题；他也说 I don't wanna end up being a nothing（我不想到头来一无所有）。想学抱怨感情、谈孩子、说狠话的英语，这些话都很真实。

我给你听首歌。我唱给你听。 为咱俩曾经的欢乐，干一杯 那年六月我们相遇 让我们回到从前的样子 对不起，我好想你 想你想得不行 自从你走了 自从你想去死 ——歌到这儿就完了。——这调子还挺乐观。 我说的不是这首。我这里还有一首。 ——它跑哪儿去了？——我怎么也找不着。 ——这些歌都是你写的？——嗯，这就是我身上发生的事。 再见了，亲爱的霍普 你去了你该去的天堂 我在想，天堂里让不让抽烟，有没有香烟 我看没有 我还爱着你 我会每天去看你的坟 呃，也不是每天…… 但有空我会去看的，要是我能找到它的话。 我会找到的。别告诉我它在哪儿。 再见了，宝贝 别了，忧愁
下一章 · 11face up to正视这场戏：感恩节饭桌上坦白自己字面是「既要有蛋糕又要吃掉它」，意思是两头都想占着、好处全想要，往往被人用来点破不切实际的想法。
give a fuck，带粗口，语气很冲。She don't give a fuck 就是「她根本不在乎」，跟朋友抱怨时才用，正式场合别用。
all of a sudden。它比 suddenly 更口语，常用来讲事情毫无预兆地发生，比如 all of a sudden, one day...。
outta control，是 out of control 的口语缩写。You're a man outta control 就是说「你这人真是失控了」。
end up being。end up 是最终变成某种结果，后面接名词；I don't wanna end up being a nothing 就是「我不想到头来一无所有」。
