派对上听说丈夫偷腥:looking the other way

派对上,有人提起雷琳整晚跟哈尔显得很亲热,一句 Hal's not the roving type(哈尔不是到处留情的人)把话挡了回去。后来有人反复追问:看见朋友妻子亲别人,会不会告诉朋友?最后一句 looking the other way(装作没看见)点破有人宁愿回避。想学怎么体面否认、怎么委婉提醒,这场对话够用。

发生了什么

派对上,有人提起雷琳整晚跟哈尔显得很亲热;有人用 Hal's not the roving type(哈尔不是到处留情的人)否认,也有人拿自己丈夫打比方,说会 keep an eye on(看紧、留意)他。后来有人反复问:要是看见朋友妻子亲别人,会不会告诉朋友?有人说 a passing thing(一时的事)也许不提更好,也有人坚持 have his back(挺他、护着他)。最后一句 looking the other way(装作没看见)点出面对不想知道的事时的习惯。想学体面否认、委婉提醒和看穿不说穿,这些说法在聚会、夫妻矛盾和日常聊天里都用得上。

短语 · B2what's eating someone

看懂「派对上听说丈夫偷腥」

发音重点

  • have you — 快问句里 have you 常挤在一起,别把 have 读重
  • Bet your ass — 重音砸在 ass 上,Bet your 快速带过
  • looking the other — looking the other 一口气滑过去,the 很轻
If you saw your friend's wife kissing another guy, would you tell your friend?

如果你看见朋友的妻子亲了别人,你会告诉朋友吗? 一个假设句把整场戏的道德难题摆上桌,简短、残酷、无法回避。

If you don't say anything, it could've been a passing thing.

如果你什么都不说,那可能只是一时的事。 把沉默包装成善意,用 could've been 留出退路。

You know, I would tell him, because that's what a friend's for.

你知道,我会告诉他,因为朋友就是干这个的。 用最朴素的 because 把忠诚说成义务,反而有分量。

You gotta have his back. That's why I'd tell him.

你得挺他。这就是我会告诉他的原因。 先给原则,再给理由,两拍短句像敲桌子。

When Jasmine don't wanna know something, she's got a habit of looking the other way.

茉莉不想知道某件事时,她习惯装作没看见。 结尾一句把整场试探收成人物判词,口语语法反而更狠。

关于这一章的问题

looking the other way 是什么意思?

意思是「装作没看见」,指明明察觉却故意不去面对。台词里说,有人不想知道某件事时,就有这个习惯。

「喝得半醉」英语怎么说?

可以说 half in the bag。台词里有人说对方整晚都 half in the bag,就是喝得半醉、不太清醒。

「挺他、护着他」英语怎么说?

用 have his back。台词里说朋友就该这样,You gotta have his back,意思是朋友有难时要站他这边、给他撑腰。

a passing thing 在台词里指什么?

指「一时的事、短暂的」感情或状况。台词里假设不说破,那次亲吻也许只是一时的事,朋友就永远不会知道。

keep an eye on 是「看一眼」吗?

不是,是「看紧、留意」。台词里有人拿自己丈夫打比方,说会 keep an eye on him,也就是多盯着点。
