这场戏：发现恨错了对象
第 22 章 · 共 22 章 · 4'56"
追车逼停后，塞蕾娜要亲手了结两人，结果一听才发现，这俩活宝压根儿不是来害她的——他们满脑子只想跟她上床。她一句 You were never out to get me（你压根儿不是来害我的），把误会当场戳破。想学「存心针对」「我认账」这类地道说法，这段又好笑又好用。
恨了二十四年才懂：out to get（存心加害）
out to get 存心加害、专门针对guilty as charged 说得没错、我认账hanging on to 紧抓不放、耿耿于怀way of life 生活方式、活法
❝ 独白 · 4 句 证人 not going anywhere（哪儿也别想去），救宇宙却扔砖也行
Make haste 赶紧、麻利点not going anywhere 哪儿也别想去done being 受够了一直当……in absolute terms 就绝对数值而言
❝ 独白 · 5 句 使者的自我吐槽
一本正经地承认多此一举，最后自己拆自己的台。
追车逼停，塞蕾娜放话：二十四年前两人差点毁了她。可两个活宝以为这是求爱，兴奋地说 we are about to score with thee（我俩马上就要跟你搞上了）。塞蕾娜一愣，随即恍然大悟——You were never out to get me（你们压根儿不是来害我的），并宣布 These boys aren't my enemies（这俩不是我的敌人），只是又蠢又发情的小屁孩。这边平行宇宙的聪明版两人打开传送门，声称只有他俩进去才能救宇宙，官方却坚持他们是证人不许走。最后大家才发现，传送门扔块砖头进去也行——我们把它弄得比实际复杂多了。想表达「存心针对」「我认账」「耿耿于怀」，这场收尾戏都能学到。
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。
“Our little dance of seduction is now complete.”
我们这场调情的小舞曲，到此跳完了。
把一场误会收成一支“舞曲”，讽刺里透着体面。
our little ... is now complete
给一段拉扯或闹剧收尾时用；语气带讽刺，别在真诚道歉时说。
Our little game is finally over. ／ Our little show is now complete.
literary
little 轻读，complete 落在句尾重音。
Our little game of cat and mouse is now complete. 我们这场猫鼠游戏，现在收场了。
“Oh, my God. You were never out to get me.”
天哪。原来你从来就不是冲我来的。
一个 never 把二十年的误会翻了个面。
You were never out to ...
恍然大悟、发现一直误会对方时用，语气又惊又松一口气。
You were never trying to hurt me. ／ You were never against me at all.
口语
never 重读，out to 连读。
You were never out to embarrass me, were you? 你从来就不是想让我难堪，对吧？
“- These boys aren't my enemies, and they're not aliens out to destroy our way of life.”
这两个男孩不是我的敌人，也不是来毁灭我们生活方式的外星人。
把“敌人”和“外星人”并排拆掉，一句话卸下整场追杀。
These ... aren't my enemies; they're just ...
当众给人重新定性、收回敌意时用，语气正式，适合公开表态。
They're not our enemies. ／ They're no threat to us at all.
正式
aren't 弱读，way of life 三词连贯。
These kids aren't my rivals, and they're not out to ruin our club. 这些孩子不是我的对手，也不是来毁我们社团的。
“They're just two very, very stupid and horny teenagers.”
他们只是两个特别、特别蠢、满脑子那事的少年。
重复的 very 把大反派瞬间降格成两个傻少年。
They're just two very, very ... teenagers.
给被神化的对象祛魅时用，语气带笑，别用来当面骂人。
They're just silly kids. ／ They're nothing but horny teenagers.
口语
两个 very 各停顿，teenagers 收得轻。
They're just two very, very overpaid consultants. 他们不过是两个薪水高得离谱的顾问罢了。
“- I can't believe I've been hanging on to this for 24 years.”
我真不敢相信，这件事我竟攥了二十四年。
把执念说成“攥着不放”，时间一出来就心酸又好笑。
I can't believe I've been ... for so long.
发现自己在旧事上耗太久时用，语气自嘲，适合跟朋友坦白。
I can't believe I've kept this for so long. ／ I've been carrying this for years.

can't believe 连读，hanging on to 一气呵成。
I can't believe I've been holding on to that grudge for ten years. 我真不敢信，那点怨气我居然记了十年。
“I am done being a laughingstock.”
我再也不想当那个笑话了。
be done being 比 I don't want 狠得多，一句划清底线。
I am done being ...
受够某种身份、当场表态时用，语气强硬，适合争执中收尾。
I refuse to be the joke anymore. ／ I'm done being laughed at.
口语
done 重读，being 轻带过。
I am done being the office scapegoat. 我再也不当办公室的替罪羊了。
“- It's safe to say, we were making it more complicated than it needed to be.”
可以这么说，我们把它弄得比本来需要的复杂多了。
用一句总结给全片最大的乌龙盖章，冷静里全是笑点。
It's safe to say, we were ... than it needed to be.
事后复盘一个被做复杂的决定时用，语气克制，适合总结教训。
It's safe to say we overthought it. ／ We made it harder than it had to be.
中性
safe to say 后稍停，needed to be 收在弱读。
It's safe to say we made the booking more complicated than it needed to be. 可以这么说，我们把订票这事搞得过分复杂了。
You have mere seconds to enter the portal. - Only by the two of you entering this portal can our universes be saved. - Otherwise, the entire cosmos shall perish forever. Make haste.
你们只剩几秒钟进入传送门。 - 只有你们俩进入这道传送门，我们的宇宙才能得救。 - 否则，整个宇宙都将永远毁灭。 快点。
- We thought it needed to be the two of you to go through the portal. But I guess anything would have worked. We could have thrown a brick in there. - It's safe to say, we were making it more complicated than it needed to be. - While we are the smartest Beavis and Butt-Head in all the cosmos, in absolute terms, we're still not so bright.
- 我们原以为必须你们俩穿过传送门才行。 但看来随便什么都行。 我们哪怕扔块砖头进去都成。 - 可以说，我们把它弄得比实际需要的复杂多了。 - 虽说我们是全宇宙最聪明的瘪四和大头蛋，但按绝对标准，我们也没多聪明。
意思是「存心加害、专门针对」，常说 someone is out to get me，感觉全世界都在针对自己。塞蕾娜以为两人穿越时空是来害她的，最后才发现自己想多了。
guilty as charged。原本是法庭上承认指控的说法，日常也能半开玩笑地用，表示「你说得没错，我认」。戏里瘪四用它承认自己就是想上床。
hang on to，字面是紧紧抓住，引申为对某件事放不下、一直记着。塞蕾娜说自己 hang on to this 24 years，就是念念不忘这件事二十四年。
前面一路被追车，有人却说追他们的人「只是出门逛街、变速箱卡在倒挡」，用最普通的日常理由解释最离谱的场面，反差就是笑点。
Hold your fire。这是命令式说法，意思是先别射击、暂停开火，常见于战争片和警匪片。戏里塞蕾娜要亲手了结两人，喝令手下 Hold your fire。
