香槟庆祝变翻旧账:let sleeping dogs lie

刚复合的一对带来香槟庆祝,一句 I'm not in a celebratory mood(没心情庆祝)就把气氛冻住;劝架的人赶紧说 Let's let sleeping dogs lie(别再翻旧账)。想学怎么把「别翻旧账」说得像英语母语者,这几句很实用。

发生了什么

刚复合的一对带香槟来庆祝,桌上却有人一句 I'm not in a celebratory mood(没心情庆祝),把原本的热闹压了下去。话越说越冲,有人赶紧劝 Let's let sleeping dogs lie(别再翻旧账),也有人被指责总是 pick on someone(反复找茬)。几句下来,庆祝就变成了互相翻旧账。想说自己没心情、想劝人别翻旧账,或在争吵里点出对方老找茬,这几句都能直接搬用;语气从冷淡到不耐烦,一层层往上递进。

他属于那种没女人就六神无主的男人。 一句带刺的概括,把依赖说成类型,既像观察又像判决。

Because that's what you think you deserve.

因为你就是觉得自己只配这样。 把争吵从选择问题推进到自我价值,短句像刀,因果开头更狠。

I was pretty angry at some of the things she said, but I kept it on the inside.

她说的有些话让我挺生气,但我憋在心里了。 用 pretty angry 和 kept it on the inside 对照,表面不动声色,心里憋着火,一句写出隐忍。

Come on, she's happy, we're happy. Let's let sleeping dogs lie.

行了,她开心,我们也开心。过去的事就别再翻出来了。 用一句老谚语给争吵踩刹车,重复的 happy 像在强行稳住场面。

关于这一章的问题

let sleeping dogs lie 是什么意思?

意思是「别再翻旧账」,劝人别再提过去不愉快的事,让大家都好过。台词里有人用这句话劝架,想让庆祝继续下去。

「没心情庆祝」英语怎么说?

可以说 I'm not in a celebratory mood。celebratory mood 就是「庆祝的心情」,这句话直接告诉对方自己现在不想加入庆祝。

pick on someone 是「反复找茬」吗?

是。它常指老是挑某个人的毛病、找他的茬。台词里有人替被说的人出头,说对方总是 picking on him,就是「老是挑他的刺」。

Bullshit 在这里是什么意思?

这里就是「胡说;瞎扯」,用来否定对方刚说的话。台词里一句 Bullshit 接在「我没哭」后面,表示根本不信这套说法。

「一意孤行」用英语怎么说?

可以用 went your own sweet way,意思是一意孤行、只顾自己称心。台词里用它指责对方当年不顾别人、按自己的性子来。
