这场戏：孩子逃课，妈妈圆谎
第 1 章 · 共 11 章 · 2'18"
伦敦院子里，妈妈拦住刚回来的斯蒂和杰米，问两人是不是一块 bunk off（逃学、翘课）；灶上的卷心菜煎土豆要 watch it like a hawk（盯得死死的），不然就糊了。想学英式家常吐槽、怎么盘问孩子翘课，这些活生生的口语正好用得上。

❝ 独白 · 9 句 给老师圆谎的电话
一口气给儿子编出肚子疼加厕所锁门，越说越顺，谎话也讲出节奏。
伦敦泰晤士米德的居民院外，桑德拉撞见晚归的斯蒂和杰米，问两人是不是一起 bunk off（逃学、翘课）。杰米嘴硬说不是一起，斯蒂说今天踢了球。邻居女孩莉亚痴迷妈妈卡斯，被人嫌不正常；聊到麦当娜，有人骂「荡妇」，对方回一句「你才假正经」。锅里做着的卷心菜煎土豆要 watch it like a hawk（盯得死死的），晚了就糊。桑德拉随后接到乔汉老师的电话，替儿子圆谎，说他 funny tummy（肚子不舒服）、taken short（突然内急、憋不住），还说自己完全同意老师重视体育。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“You're a victim of your own big mouth, more like.”
要我说，你是被自己那张大嘴害的。
把儿子自封的受害者一句话顶回去，反手就成了笑点。
You're a victim of your own ...
朋友把锅推给环境时能用；对长辈或上司别用，太冲。
You brought this on yourself. ／ That's your own doing, mate.
口语
victim 与 own 重读，more like 轻挑收尾。
You're a victim of your own excuses, not bad luck. 害你的是自己找的借口，不是运气差。
“It's bubble and squeak, Leah. You can't leave bubble and squeak.”
这是卷心菜土豆煎饼，莉亚。卷心菜土豆煎饼可不能剩。
拿一道家常菜名反复念叨，把别浪费说成了笑话。
You can't leave + 重复那个名词
哄人别剩饭、别中途走开时能用；正式饭桌别拿来开玩笑。
You can't waste it, not this one. ／ Nobody leaves the table with this on it.
口语
bubble and squeak 一口气读完，leave 后稍停。
You can't leave the soup, not on a cold night. 汤可不能剩，这么冷的晚上。
“Well, it's nice to see someone can stay at school for the full day.”
哟，难得见有人能踏踏实实在学校待一整天。
客气话里全是刺，夸一个正好把另一个比下去。
It's nice to see someone can ...
半开玩笑敲打某人时能用；真夸人时不要用，会显得阴阳怪气。
Lovely to see someone actually shows up. ／ Nice that somebody made it in today.
中性
nice 拉长，someone 重读，后半句平淡带过。
It's nice to see someone can make it in before noon. 难得见有人中午前能到。
“Well, it wouldn't be the bloody Hoover bag, would it?”
那总不能是吸尘器的袋子在响吧，是不是？
用一句反问把显而易见的答案说破，还顺手吐槽了对方。wouldn't ... would it 的反义疑问结构让挖苦显得漫不经心，是很地道的英式嘴皮子。
It wouldn't be ..., would it?
别人问了个明显答案的问题时用，语气带刺；对长辈或不熟的人说会显得没礼貌。
It's hardly the vacuum cleaner, is it? ／ Who else would it be but her?
口语
wouldn't be the 连读，Hoover bag 重读，would it 轻挑收尾。
It wouldn't be your alarm again, would it? 不会又是你的闹钟在响吧？
I know, Miss Chauhan. But, you see, Miss Chauhan... He's got a funny tummy, you know. I mean, he really wanted to do football today, but he got taken short, see. Mmm. And when he got to the boy's loos, they were all locked up, inexplicably. So, he had a little accident, you know. Oh, yeah. I couldn't agree with you more, Miss Chauhan. I mean, when I was at school I was reserve captain for the Under-16s netball team, so I can appreciate the, like, value of exercise and sport.
我知道，乔汉老师。可是您看，乔汉老师…… 他肚子不舒服，您知道的。 他是真想今天踢球的，可他突然内急，您看。 嗯。等他跑到男厕所，门全锁着，莫名其妙。 所以他一没忍住，就弄脏了裤子，您知道的。 哦，是的。我完全同意您，乔汉老师。 我是说，我上学那会儿，是16岁以下组的篮网球队替补队长， 所以我能体会到，那个， 锻炼和运动的价值。
