前妹夫当街翻旧账:put something behind you

正聊到兴头上,一句「嘿,茉莉」把人叫住——来的是她前妹夫奥吉,人还站在街上就翻起旧账。有人劝他 put this behind you(把这事放下),他顶回去:有些人就是没那么容易放下;想插嘴的,被一句 stay out of it(别插手这件事)挡回去。想劝人往前看、想让人少管闲事,这两句都能直接用。

发生了什么

街上两人正聊着父母对另一方的印象,又拿钻戒大小开了句玩笑。一句「嘿,茉莉」打断气氛,来的是茉莉的前妹夫奥吉。他没打算客气——旧账一笔笔翻出来,说自己本来能有自己的公司。有人劝他 put this behind you(把这事放下),得到的回答是「有些人就是没那么容易放下」。话题又转到丹尼,也绕不开哈尔自杀的事。对方一头雾水,追问到底怎么回事;一句 in that tone of voice(用那种口气)顶了回去,两人随后上了车。车门一关,争执变成 up and down the line(从头到尾)的指责:你骗了我,难道以为我迟早不会发现?

只能怪我自己。我又一次自己害了自己,跟往常一样。 把责任全揽到自己身上,as usual 一落,委屈和自嘲同时出来。

关于这一章的问题

put something behind you 是什么意思?

意思是把某件事放下、不再纠缠,往前看。戏里有人劝对方把旧账翻过去,得到的回答是「有些人就是没那么容易放下」。劝人 move on(往前走)时常用,宾语放中间:put it behind you。

「从头到尾都在骗我」英语怎么说?

You lied to me up and down the line. up and down the line 就是从头到尾、处处,说的是谎撒得彻底,不是只瞒了一件事。

surprise, surprise 是在夸人吗?

不是。它多半反着用,意思是「意外才怪」「果然如此」,带讽刺。戏里那句 Yeah, surprise, surprise, huh? 就是这种口气。

stay out of it 用在什么场合?

用在让对方别插手的场合,语气很直接。戏里有人说 I don't know who you are(我不知道你是谁),对方接的就一句 Right, you don't, so stay out of it——「对,你不认识我,那就别管」。

in that tone of voice 是在说什么?

说的是「用那种口气」跟人讲话,听着像在压人。戏里有人被一句 Get in the car(上车)使唤,回的就是这句。想提醒对方把态度放尊重点,比 Don't be rude(别这么没礼貌)更具体。

be taken with someone 是喜欢还是被吸引?

都有点,是「对…很有好感」。戏里说她父亲平时挑剔,却 he was very taken with you,意思是「对你特别有好感」,比 like(喜欢)更书面一点。
