这场戏：公布成绩后谈暗恋
第 6 章 · 共 14 章 · 2'35"
老师在班上念每周测验排名，巴迪拿了铜牌；放学路上他却只惦记那个女孩。他一本正经说 When I grow up, I want to marry her（我长大了要娶她），长辈笑他 Women are very mysterious（女人太让人捉摸不透）。想聊暗恋、跟朋友打趣，这两句都好用。
「长大」英语是 grow up，巴迪说要娶她
grow up 长大done your research 做过功课、查过底细on my way home 在回家的路上
「一点点」英语是 a wee bit，笨一点就能坐一起
a wee bit 一点点、稍微shouting at 冲某人吼full of pretty answers 满肚子漂亮话
老师当众念出每周测验的排名：小比利·克兰顿只有17%，坐最后排；巴迪拿到铜牌，凯瑟琳继续金牌。放学后，巴迪跟长辈聊起同班的女孩：她上课偶尔看他一眼，可课上不许说话 not allowed to talk，操场她又跟别的女孩玩。他说 Anyways, I think she loves that other fella（我觉得她喜欢另一个男的），又认真说 When I grow up, I want to marry her（我长大了要娶她）。被笑太天真，他反驳 If she were a wee bit more stupid like me（她要是稍微笨一点），两人早坐一块了。奶奶塞给他一枚三便士，他把那句 what's yours is mine（你的就是我的）学得活灵活现。
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。
“When I grow up, I want to marry her.”
等我长大，我要娶她。
小男孩把暗恋说成终身决定，天真和认真同时成立。

中性
grow up 连读，marry her 一气说完不停。
When I grow up, I want to fly the planes my dad fixes. 等我长大，我要开爸爸修的那种飞机。
“She looks at me sometimes, but we're not allowed to talk in the class, so I can't say anything.”
她有时会看我，可上课不许说话，我什么也说不了。
三个转折把暗恋的束手无策写尽：有目光，没机会，只能憋着。
X, but we're not allowed to ..., so I can't ...
解释为什么有话说不出口时用；找借口推责任时别用。

中性
but 后放轻，so I can't 收紧，末句带一点无奈。

“I try to look in, but she never sees me.”
我想往里看，可她从来瞧不见我。
一句暗恋的自我招供：偷偷张望却始终没被看见，傻气又让人心软。
I try to ..., but ... never ...
说单相思、努力没被察觉时能用；对当事人当面说会有点自怜，别用来博同情。
I keep looking her way, but she never notices me. ／ I try to catch her eye, but she never looks back.
中性
look in 连读，never 重读，sees me 一起收轻。
I try to say hi, but he never notices me. 我想打个招呼，可他从来没注意到我。
下一章 · 07benefit of the doubt先往好处想这场戏：教巴迪分散下注字面是「你的就是我的」，后半句常接 and what's mine's me own。奶奶用它开玩笑，意思是你的归我，我的还归我。
可以说 a wee bit，wee 是北爱尔兰和苏格兰口语里「小」的意思，a wee bit more 就是「再多一点点」。
fella 是口语里的「小伙子、那男的」，比 man 随意。I think she loves that other fella 就是说「我觉得她喜欢另一个男的」。
它是句吓唬人的狠话，意思是「把你脸打烂」。朋友之间多半是夸张开玩笑，正式场合别用。

用 bloody，比如 her bloody homework（她那该死的作业）。它是英式轻骂，比脏话轻，但在正式场合仍不合适。
