追问前任聊到心理医生:a real prizewinner

一人问对方在巴黎有没有人等着,对方说半年前刚分手。追问之下,前任被损成 a real prizewinner(真是个极品):又蠢又丑、床上不行、还是个酒鬼;再往下讲,去看 shrink(心理医生)时一篇杀男友的旧稿,让医生说必须报警。想损人又不想说得太正经,就学这个反讽。

发生了什么

一人问另一人有没有在跟谁交往,巴黎那边有没有人等着;另一人说现在没有,但半年前刚分手。追问之下,前任被损成 a real prizewinner(真是个极品):又蠢又丑、床上不行、还是个酒鬼。后来讲到去看 shrink(心理医生),顺口提到自己写过一篇女人杀男友的故事,细节细到怎么下手、怎么不被抓。医生听完说必须报警,随后有人评价她 out of her mind(完全疯了)。最后说 I totally got over him(彻底放下他了),却又担心对方会在千里之外出意外。

  • don't really — don't 的 t 在 really 前轻轻带过,重音压在 really 上。
I mean, I'm not that sorry. But tell me about him.

我是说,我也没那么遗憾。不过跟我说说他吧。 先按套路道歉,再立刻撤回,一句就把八卦的兴致和假同情写活。

I thought this one would last for a while.

我本以为这一个能撑一阵子。 用 this one 把前任说成试用装,失望和自嘲都藏在轻描淡写里。

It was my first and last session.

那是我第一次,也是最后一次去。 first and last 轻轻一合,就把一次灾难体验钉成结论,干净好笑。

But now I'm obsessed that he's gonna die from an accident a thousand kilometers away.

可现在我又老想着,他会在千里之外死于一场意外。 从分手转到离奇灾祸想象,夸张距离和细节让焦虑显得既荒谬又真实。

Why is it you become obsessed with people you don't really like that much?

为什么你偏偏会放不下那些你其实没那么喜欢的人? 把难堪的执念翻成一个普遍问题,带笑也带刺,适合当结束句。

关于这一章的问题

a real prizewinner 是什么意思?

字面是「真正的获奖者」,听起来像夸人。但前面刚列了一串毛病,紧接着说 a real prizewinner,其实是用反讽说对方是「极品」,损人不带脏字。

not that sorry 是在认真道歉吗?

不是。台词里先有一句 I'm sorry,紧跟着又说 I mean, I'm not that sorry,把歉意往回收,意思是其实没那么抱歉;后半句 But tell me about him 才转回去问前任。

shrink 是「缩小」的意思吗?

这里不是「缩小」,是口语里的名词,指心理医生。台词说 went to see this shrink,就是去看心理医生;语气随便,正式场合更常说 therapist 或 psychiatrist。

「放下他」英语怎么说?

可以说 get over someone,过去式是 got over him。台词里 I totally got over him 就是从这段感情里走出来;不过下一句马上又说自己担心对方出意外。

it came up that 里的 it 指什么?

it 是形式主语,真正的内容在后面的 that 从句里。it came up that... 的意思是「谈话中碰巧提到……」,台词里就是聊到看心理医生时,提到自己写过一个故事。
