想要某人的电话号码
Eddie wants your phone number.Blue Jasmine · 2013 — 第 6 / 15 章 · 4'30" · B2
私下盘问借住期限：find my feet
有人帮忙拎购物袋进门，随后有人盘问对方打算借住多久，话里全是试探。被问的人只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暂住到站稳脚跟）；后面一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我觉得这不关你的事）把话顶回去。想礼貌又不软地守住边界，这两句现成能用。
发生了什么
有人暂住金洁家，另有人拎着购物袋进门，先替埃迪传话想约对方出去，有人用 I'm concentrating on school（心思都在学业上）挡掉；被问打算住多久，只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暂住到站稳脚跟），接着又出现 a big comedown（身份落差）这样的试探。话题转到精神崩溃，一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我觉得这不关你的事）把话顶回去，对方却说自己要娶金洁了，两人之间没有秘密。后面聊到工作、学业和装饰师课程，这些说法都能直接搬进日常对话。
这场戏看什么
- 留意拒绝时先给理由还是先划边界
- 追问私事时语气怎样一步步变硬
- 看计划被否时她怎样把话接回来

本章全部批注
75 句台词里标了 32 处
约某人出去（常指约会）
有人替埃迪传话，说他想 ask someone out（约对方出去），还补一句 for dinner（吃晚饭），语气热络，像在撮合。
I think he wants to ask you out, you know, for dinner.眼下，目前
Look, I'm busy at the moment. He's a terrific guy. Look at him.快说时 at the 压得很轻，重音落在 moment 上。
Look, I'm busy at the moment. He's a terrific guy. Look at him.专心学业
Look, I'm concentrating on school, okay?对某事没兴趣
No, I have no interest in being a receptionist.心里有某种打算
What did you have in mind, running a bank?间接疑问词序：how long 后面用 you're planning，不倒装成 are you；这是把问句嵌进句子时的正常词序。
Is this what you wanted to talk about? And how long you're planning on staying with Ginger.站稳脚跟，适应新环境
有人被问打算住多久，只回一句 It's just till I find my feet（暂住到站稳脚跟），意思是等自己安顿下来再说，把暂住说成一段过渡。
Oh, right. It's just till I find my feet.离开这里
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.fast 收尾滑进 as，as 再连 I，整串别切碎。
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.掉价，身份落差
上一句有人说“No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.”；这句先用 I'm sure 装作体谅，紧接 big comedown 点出对方从前的日子和眼前住处差得远，客气底下带刺。
I'm sure this is a big comedown from what you're used to.感激某人的帮助
It's fine. it's-- I'm grateful for her help.精神崩溃
Ginger said you had a nervous breakdown.不关你的事
对方追问崩溃的旧事，有人先用 You know（你知道）缓一下，再回一句 I don't think that this is any of your business（我觉得这不关你的事），把私事的门关上。
You know, I don't think that this is any of your business.原因状语从句：since 在这里等于“既然/因为”，带出“我要娶她”这一前提，后面才推出“没有秘密”。
No, but since I'm marrying her, we don't have any secrets between us.弱智的（侮辱）——极冒犯的骂人话，任何正式场合都别用
His retarded boyfriend wanted a date, but he was too shy to ask.对某人有意思/有欲望 不是热度，是强烈好感
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.got the 的 t 很轻，hots 的 ts 收住，别逐词咬死。
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.对某人有欲望——朋友间八卦用，正式场合别用
Yeah, I know. He's got the hots for me.一见如故，合得来 不是打中，是一开始就合拍
I could tell you two didn't hit it off.窝囊废/失败者——熟人贬人时用，正式场合别用
He's another version of Augie. He's a loser.发疯/受不了——熟人吐槽压力，正式场合别用
I'd go nuts.不用动脑的枯燥工作
I can't just do some mindless job.省略定语从句：Friends 后面省了 who/that，直接跟 I'd had... 来限定是哪些朋友；拆成“我以前在公寓晚宴上请过的朋友”。
Friends I'd had at dinner parties at our apartment came in and I waited on them. I mean, do you have any idea what that's like?悄悄溜出去 不是滑倒，是悄悄离开
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.现在分词短语：thinking 引出她溜走时的心理，等于 because she thought I didn't see her。不是“正在想”的主句动作。
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.品味很好
Hey, you got great taste.完全不会用电脑
对方说线上也能拿执照，有人先犹豫，再自嘲一句 computer illiterate（完全不会用电脑），语气半承认半打退堂鼓。
I guess you could, but-- Yeah, I'm so computer illiterate.重音落在 computer 第二音节和 illiterate 第二音节，别平着念。
I guess you could, but-- Yeah, I'm so computer illiterate.上电脑课
But I could take a class in computers.去考/争取一张执照
You know, first you gotta learn computers, and then go for a decorator's license online.看懂「私下盘问借住期限」
发音重点
- at the moment — 快说时 at the 压得很轻，重音落在 moment 上。
- as fast as I — fast 收尾滑进 as，as 再连 I，整串别切碎。
- got the hots — got the 的 t 很轻，hots 的 ts 收住，别逐词咬死。
- computer illiterate — 重音落在 computer 第二音节和 illiterate 第二音节，别平着念。
No one wants to get out of here as fast as I do.没人比我更想离开这里。 用“没人比我更想”把急于逃离说得又狠又真，短句有劲。
You know, I don't think that this is any of your business.你知道，我觉得这不关你的事。 先垫 You know 和 I don't think，边界说得礼貌却一点不软。
I wanna get my degree and become, you know, something substantial.我想拿到学位，成为，怎么说，一个像样的人。 把野心说得磕磕绊绊，you know 的停顿反而让人物更真。
You know, one minute, you're hosting women and the next, you're measuring their shoe size and fitting them.你知道，前一分钟你还在招待那些太太，下一分钟就在给她们量鞋码、试鞋。 one minute...the next 的对照把身份坠落写成具体动作，画面感强。
She saw me and was so embarrassed for me, she slipped out thinking I didn't see her.她看见我，替我难堪到极点，以为我没看见，就溜走了。 用别人替你尴尬来写羞耻，一个 slipped out 把逃避动作钉住。
关于这一章的问题
find my feet 是什么意思？
指刚到新环境，慢慢适应、站稳脚跟。台词里用来表示只是暂住，等安顿下来再说。
「不关你的事」英语怎么说？
可以说 I don't think that this is any of your business（我觉得这不关你的事），语气比直接说 none of your business（不关你的事）缓和一些；台词里就是这样把话题挡回去的。
big comedown 只是「下降」的意思吗？
不只是，它是「身份落差、掉价」，指从原来的好生活掉到差很多的状态；台词里就是拿过去和现在作比较。
ask someone out 只能约吃饭吗？
不，它常指约某人出去约会，吃饭只是常见安排。台词里说想约人吃晚饭，就是这个意思。
hit it off 是什么意思？
指两个人一见面就合得来、聊得投机；台词里说看得出两个人没 hit it off，就是没合拍。
