街头聊蜜月和看戏:a bad liar

维也纳街头,两个刚到的人想找晚上好玩的事,被问为什么来,有人答 We're on honeymoon(正在度蜜月)。随后一句 You're a bad liar(一撒谎就露馅)点破,话题又转到 a play we're both in(两人都在演的一出戏)。想学笑着拆台,这几句够用。

关于这一章的问题

a bad liar 是什么意思?

指不擅长撒谎、一撒谎就露馅的人。台词里蜜月、怀孕的说法之后,出现 No, I don't believe you. You're a bad liar,是点破的语气。

「正在度蜜月」英语怎么说?

on honeymoon。台词里 We're on honeymoon 就是「我们在度蜜月」,介词用 on;想说「我们的蜜月」也可以说 on our honeymoon。

Sprechen sie English? 是什么意思?

是用德语腔问「你会说英语吗?」。台词里得到 Ja. Of course. 的回答,紧接着就是 Could you speak German for a change? 这句玩笑。

21:30 为什么要追问 It's 9:30?

21:30 是 24 小时制写法,等于晚上九点半。台词里有人重复 21:30?,得到 It's 9:30,再回 Oh, 9:30. Right, right,就是确认时间。

「想找点好玩的事做」英语怎么说?

looking for something fun to do。台词里 we're looking for something fun to do 后面还举了博物馆、展览当例子,到新地方问路时可以直接这么说。
