这场戏：翻出妈妈的言情小说
第 6 章 · 共 18 章 · 3'47"
两人翻出妈妈留下的一整柜言情小说，边念肉麻句子边互相挤兑。有人提起当年互寄的情书，随口一句「别装得看不上这些」，英语就是 Don't pretend you're all above this。想形容一件事能玩得多起劲，就用 have a field day（玩个尽兴）。朋友重逢、一起翻旧物，这两句最顺口。

在堆满旧物的屋里，两人翻出妈妈留下的一整柜言情小说。他们一边翻一边念出书里肉麻的句子，又提起当年一起读《呼啸山庄》、互寄情书的旧事，还半开玩笑地互相损对方。想夸一件事值得玩个痛快，可以说 have a field day（玩个尽兴）；想轻描淡写一句「这都看跟谁比」，用 it's all relative（都是相对的）；想把旧东西清掉、扔掉，get rid of（处理掉）最自然。这几句特别适合老朋友、老同学多年后重逢，一边翻旧物一边闲聊的场合。

下一章 · 07time capsule时光胶囊这场戏：翻高中旧物读情诗"have a field day" 是玩个尽兴、大做文章的意思，指遇到某件事能尽情享受或大加发挥。翻到一堆旧物可以玩很久，就可以说 we would have a field day with it。
可以说 Don't pretend you're all above this。above this 字面是「在这之上」，这里指显得自己比这些东西高、看不上它们。用来怼别人装清高很地道。
get rid of 是处理掉、摆脱，范围更广，人和烦人的事都能用；throw away 多指把实物扔进垃圾桶。想把旧书卖掉或送人，都算 get rid of。
意思是都是相对的，没有绝对的高低好坏，要看跟什么比。朋友感叹人生、比较处境时常用。这里聊到谁也读不完一辈子的书，对方就来一句 you know it's all relative。
let's face it 是「咱们实话实说吧」，用来引出一句不好听但不得不承认的话。语气轻松坦诚，不是指责，朋友或同事之间都能用。
