问答游戏互问情史：scare the hell out of someone
两个人困在一起，干脆玩起问答游戏，规矩是百分百老实回答。讲起夏令营的游泳少年，一句 It scared the hell out of me（把我吓坏了）说的是被对方太好看吓了一跳。轮到提问可以说 Hit me（问吧，我接着），也能用 I'll have you know（你听好了）半认真半炫耀地抖出一段往事。
发生了什么
两个人困在一起，干脆玩起问答游戏，规则是每个问题都要百分百老实回答。第一个问题问到最初的性感觉，有人讲起夏令营里的游泳少年：劝他去跟 Emma 约会，他回答 I have a big crush on you，讲述者说这让自己吓了一大跳——It scared the hell out of me（把我吓坏了），因为觉得他太好看。爱情那道题只换来 Yes. Next question.（有。下一个问题。），有人抗议 went into such private details，也就是 go into details（详细讲述）的过去式。想接话可以说 Hit me（问吧，我接着），想半认真地炫耀就用 I'll have you know（你听好了）。
这场戏看什么
- 留意她讲心动时细节越来越具体
- 注意他用一句话切断爱情话题
- 比较直接问题与私密问题的措辞
留意这几个短语

直截了当的问题
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.gonna ask 快说时连成一块，ask 起音直接接上
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.百分百如实回答
- And you have to answer 100% honestly. - Of course.have to 里 to 很轻，几乎只占半拍
- And you have to answer 100% honestly. - Of course.最初的性感觉
Describe for me your first sexual feelings towards a person.非常迷恋他
And my friend Emma had a big, big crush on him.out of me 中 of 很轻，气从 out 滑向 me
So — Yeah. It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine.太好看了——口语夸外貌，朋友间常用，正式场合少用
So — Yeah. It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine.正式约我出去
And then he officially asked me out on a date.名词性从句：what I might do 作 of 的宾语，等于“我可能会做的事”；别拆成两个问题。
You know, I was so afraid of what I might do.爱情宣言
讲到夏令营快结束时，讲述者用 declarations of love 形容两人互相写下的情话；后面一句 Of course not 说明后来并没有继续写。
You know, we kind of wrote these little declarations of love to each other at the end of the summer and过去将来：promised 后接 would + 动词，表示从过去看将来会继续写；不是现在时。
promised we would keep writing forever and, like, meet again very soon.合适的时机
游泳少年的往事刚讲完，一句 the opportune time 接上来，说自己碰巧也是个游泳好手；这个说法指「合适的时机」，比 a good time 更书面。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.碰巧是
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.宾语从句：that I happen to be 是 tell you 的宾语从句，说明要告诉你的内容；happen to be 表示碰巧是。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.Hit me 重音压在 hit，me 短促收尾，t 别拖长
- Hit me. - Um...直接问吧——熟人之间表示“来吧”，正式场合别用
- Hit me. - Um...只答一个词
- So we can give one-word answers? - Sure. Why not?详细讲私密细节
No, no. After I went into such private details about my first sexual feelings?编故事
有人说如果被问到爱情就会撒谎，但至少会 made up a great story（编个精彩的故事）；make up a story 就是凭空编出一段说得过去的故事。
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.虚拟过去：would have + 过去分词表示对过去的假设：本来会撒谎，实际没发生。
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.would have 快说时缩得很轻，lied 才是落点
- (giggles) I would have lied, but at least I would have made up a great story.复杂的问题
You would've lied! Great. Love is a complex issue.就性感觉而言
But as far as sexual feelings go,着魔般的痴迷关系
I'll have you know it started with an obsessive relationship with Miss July 1978.看懂「问答游戏互问情史」
发音重点
- gonna ask — gonna ask 快说时连成一块，ask 起音直接接上
- have to — have to 里 to 很轻，几乎只占半拍
- out of me — out of me 中 of 很轻，气从 out 滑向 me
- Hit me — Hit me 重音压在 hit，me 短促收尾，t 别拖长
We're stuck together, so we're gonna ask each other a few direct questions.我们被困在一起，所以干脆互相问几个直接的问题。 把「没得选」说成一条问答规则，既交代了处境，又露出两人说话都直来直去。
And then he officially asked me out on a date.然后他正式约我出去约会。 officially 和 on a date 把少年轻描淡写的邀约说得郑重又可爱。
Then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen to be a fantastic swimmer.那我想，现在正是告诉你我碰巧是个游泳好手的好时机。 opportune 与 fantastic swimmer 形成一本正经的调情，荒唐又自信。
Have you ever been in love?你爱过吗？ 一句话直问到底，短到没法绕开，也把整场问答从玩笑拉回正题。
You would've lied! Great. Love is a complex issue.你会撒谎的！好极了。爱情是个复杂的问题。 先戳穿对方会撒谎，再把爱情降格为 complex issue，语气又损又无奈。
I'll have you know it started with an obsessive relationship with Miss July 1978.告诉你吧，这一切始于我和1978年七月小姐的一段痴迷关系。 用 I'll have you know 摆架子，再抛出杂志名，庄重和滑稽撞在一起。
关于这一章的问题
Why not? 是什么意思？
字面是「为什么不」，实际是爽快答应：「当然可以，有什么不行？」台词里有人问能不能一个词回答，回了一句 Sure. Why not?，就是不介意。
「把某人吓坏了」英语怎么说？
说 scare the hell out of someone，hell 在这里只是加强语气。台词里 It scared the hell out of me because I thought he was so fine. 说的是对方太好看了，被自己的心动吓一跳。
Hit me 一般用在什么场合？
用在准备好、让对方直接开口的时候，比如提问、给反馈。台词里刚确认轮到谁提问，接着一句 Hit me，就是「问吧，我接着」。
想展开讲细节，英语可以怎么说？
用 go into details，也常说 go into detail，比如 I don't want to go into details（细节我不想多说）。台词里 went into such private details 是讲了很私密的细节，再反问对方为什么只答一个词。
love is a complex issue 在台词里指什么？
这句话把爱情说成一件复杂的事，后面接着展开：I have told somebody that I loved them before, and I had meant it；再问那份爱是不是 totally unselfish。
「就……而言」英语怎么说？
用 as far as … goes，比如 as far as price goes（就价格而言）。台词里 But as far as sexual feelings go, 把话题从爱情拉回最初的问题，常放句首，后面接逗号。
