这场戏：酒吧里被旧识搭讪
第 1 章 · 共 14 章 · 3'06"
李·伊斯雷尔独自在酒吧喝酒，英国人杰克·霍克凑上来搭讪，两人认出彼此在图书派对上见过。杰克漂完牙还问好不好看，一句 teeth are a dead giveaway（一眼就露馅的破绽）；李记不清旧事，只能说 put my finger on it（想说清却抓不住要点）。酒吧搭讪、跟人回忆旧事时，这两句最实用。

李·伊斯雷尔独自泡在酒吧，英国人杰克·霍克认出她，凑上来搭讪。两人回忆起某场糟糕的图书派对：Jack 喝得开心，还醉到在衣帽间撒尿。有三句最值得记：pleasantly pissed（醉得开心）形容微醺的好心情；a dead giveaway（一眼就露馅的破绽）说的是牙齿最会出卖年龄；not the only rodeo in town（又不是只有这一家）用来轻描淡写地圆场。想学怎么在酒吧跟半熟的人重新搭上话、怎么用自嘲把糗事讲得好笑，这些说法都够用。

下一章 · 02play the game按圈里的规矩来这场戏：卖信要现金，求预支被拒指一眼就能看穿真相的破绽。台词里 Jack 说 teeth are a dead giveaway，就是牙齿最容易出卖一个人的年龄和底细。
说 pleasantly pissed，pissed 在英式英语里是「喝醉」，pleasantly 是「愉快地」。合起来就是喝到微醺、还挺享受的那种状态。
表示「知道有问题但说不清到底哪里」。比如想不起某个名字、某件事，就说 I can't put my finger on it，语气是努力想回忆却没抓住。
说 not the only rodeo in town，带点自嘲和满不在乎。台词里 Jack 被多家店拉黑，就用这句轻描淡写地说，其实城里店多得很。
说 I have a little shoplifting problem。把偷东西说成「小毛病」，口气轻描淡写又带点得意，是 Jack 自曝黑历史时的典型腔调。
