这场戏：找前女友摊开旧账
第 10 章 · 共 14 章 · 3'03"
李·伊斯雷尔去见前女友伊莱恩，说当年对方送她的猫刚死了，两人从近况聊到过去，气氛越来越紧。伊莱恩一句 There was always a wall between us（我们之间一直隔着一堵墙），又用 talk you off the ledge（把你从崩溃边缘劝回来）说这种安慰太累人。想把一段感情的裂痕说清楚，这几句很扎心。
You can't imagine what I've done to survive（你想象不到我为了活下去都干了什么）
in years 好多年（没）Exactly the same 一模一样Where else 还能在哪儿done to survive 为了活下去做的事
❝ 独白 · 4 句 翻旧账的对峙
一方诉说自己付出最多，一方逐条清算，语气越来越重，谁也不退。
李·伊斯雷尔去伊莱恩家，想找这位前女友说说话。两人先聊起当年伊莱恩送她的猫刚死了，又聊到旧街区和近况；说着说着，那句 You can't imagine what I've done to survive（你想象不到我为了活下去都干了什么）就冒了出来。伊莱恩却说 There was always a wall between us（我们之间一直隔着一堵墙），怪对方总 keep your distance（保持距离）。三句值得记：have a crisis（正陷入危机）说自己状态很糟；keep your distance（保持距离）指刻意不亲近；talk someone off the ledge（把某人从崩溃边缘劝回来）形容没完没了地安慰一个人。想学怎么把感情里的旧账摊开说，这些说法很够用。

不辩解也不求饶，只把堕落摆出来，一句话道尽这些年的下坠。

“There was always a wall between us.”
我们之间一直隔着一堵墙。
用一堵墙把多年的距离说清楚，平静却比指责更重。

下一章 · 11freeze someone out冷落、晾着这场戏：划清界限说不是朋友字面是「我们之间一直有一堵墙」，指两个人始终有一层隔阂、走不进彼此心里。台词里是对方在解释这段感情为什么走不下去。
说 keep your distance。台词里 You did everything you could to keep your distance，是怪对方想尽办法不让自己靠近，比 cold 更具体。
说 talk someone off the ledge。ledge 是楼顶边缘，想象一个人站在边上，你一点点把他劝下来；台词里用它形容没完没了地安慰李。
指做事断断续续、时有时无。台词里被问睡得怎么样，回答 Fits and starts，就是「睡睡醒醒、不踏实」，比直接说 bad 更传神。
说 make it up to someone。台词里 I'll make it up to you 是「我会补偿你」，多用在道歉或搞砸事情之后，承诺以后弥补。
不。它泛指正处在某种危机里，可以是事业、感情或经济，工作中也能说。台词里 I'm having a crisis here 就是「我正撑不住了」。
