深夜谈要不要上床:sleep together

深夜两人独处,有人先说要讲件蠢事,随后一句 I don't think we should sleep together(发生性关系)把界线说得很轻,理由是分开后自己会难受。话锋转到再见和约定,又有 not a big deal(没什么大不了)和 for a lot less(用比这少得多的理由)。想划界线又不想把话说重,这几句能直接用。

发生了什么

深夜两人单独说话,有人先说要讲件蠢事,接着说出 I don't think we should sleep together(发生性关系):不是没感觉,而是既然以后见不到,事后自己会难受。话题转到再见、约定和结婚,中间一句 It's not a big deal(没什么大不了)把刚谈成的事说轻。sleep together 多数语境是「发生性关系」,单睡一张床一般说 share a bed;break a vow 是「违背誓言」,vow 比 promise 正式;now that 是「既然、如今」,用来顺着新情况接话。谈感情、划界线、拒绝别人又不想把话说重时,这些表达都能用。

  • gonna see — gonna 轻读,和 see 连成一气,别拆开
  • can't help it — can't 的 t 很轻,help it 连起来听
  • do I make — do I 容易连读,重音落在 make 上
I don't think we should sleep together.

我觉得我们不该上床。 用否定加 should 把边界说得克制,不指责对方,也不假装没欲望。

This great story to tell. I don't wanna be a great story.

这会是个好故事。可我不想只当个好故事。 把“成为谈资”和“被认真对待”对撞,短句有回响。

I don't want this great evening to just have been for that.

我不想这个美好的夜晚只是为了那件事。 用完成式回看整晚,把“发生过”变成“只剩这个”,遗憾感很准。

And maybe that's a lot of romantic bullshit, but people have gotten married for a lot less.

也许这听上去是一大堆浪漫废话,但人们因为更小的理由就结过婚。 先自嘲浪漫是 bullshit,再拿现实垫底,粗话反而让承诺更真。

Why do I make everything so complicated?

为什么我总把一切搞得这么复杂? 一句自我吐槽,把亲密关系里的过度思量说成人人认得的毛病。

关于这一章的问题

sleep together 是字面「一起睡觉」吗?

不是。它是「发生性关系」的委婉说法;如果真只是同床休息,一般说 share a bed。台词里是 I don't think we should sleep together(我觉得我们不该发生性关系)。

「控制不了,忍不住」英语怎么说?

说 can't help it。台词里先有一句 It's not very adult,紧接 Maybe it's a female thing. I can't help it.,说的是自己控制不住。要接动作就用 can't help doing something,比如 I can't help laughing(我忍不住笑)。

just so you can 后面接什么?

后面接动词原形,意思是「只是为了让你能…」。台词是 No, I don't want you to break our vow just so you can get laid.,just so you can 把对方做事的动机缩成唯一一件事,所以听着更尖。

for a lot less 是什么意思?

意思是「用比这少得多的理由(也有人这么做)」,也可以指更少的代价或条件。台词里 people have gotten married for a lot less 说的是别人凭着比这少得多的理由就结了婚。

Why do I make everything so complicated 是什么句型?

这是 Why do I... 开头的自责问句,意思是「我怎么老把每件事搞得这么复杂」。台词里它接在两人聊过之后,问自己为什么把简单的事弄复杂;日常自嘲、懊恼时都能用这个句型。
