Chasing Amy · 1997 — 第 7 / 20 章 · 3'32" · B2

为童贞定义抬杠:up close and personal

两人聊起那晚,一句 I weirded you out the other night(让你不自在)先把尴尬挑明,对方只答 It just took a while to process(需要时间消化)。等气氛缓下来,话才慢慢说开——想把尴尬摊到桌面上聊,这套先认再讲的节奏很实用。

发生了什么

开场是一句小心的试探:那天晚上是不是把你弄得挺不自在?weird someone out(让人不自在)说的就是这种怕冒犯人的问法。对方先否认,又承认那种场面自己从没 up close and personal(近距离亲身经历)地碰见过,得 take a while to process(需要时间消化)。气氛缓和下来,一句「我喜欢你,霍登」把话挑明,还说有什么想知道的都可以问。后半段两人为「童贞到底怎么算」抬杠,定义改了一次又一次。想把尴尬话题摊开聊、想在朋友之间半开玩笑地抬杠,这些句子都用得上。

短语 · B2come off as + adjective

给人…的印象

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.
语法 · B2have that remark stricken

使役 have 结构:have + 宾语 + 过去分词,表示让别人把某事处理掉;这里把“删除记录”说成程序动作,讽刺更足。

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.

短语 · B2a once-in-a-while thing

谈到身体经验,有人把某件事说成 a once-in-a-while thing,只在特别场合才做,语气像在划出界线,也让场面更私密。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.
短语 · B2be reserved for something

专留给某类场合

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.
语法 · B2reserved for really special occasions

过去分词后置:reserved for... 是过去分词短语修饰 thing,等于 which is reserved for...;字幕要补出“留给”。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.

看懂「为童贞定义抬杠」

发音重点

  • I'd never — I'd 的 d 舌尖顶住上龈不爆破,never 的 /n/ 顺势滑进去,重音压在 nev-。
  • want you — want you 之间别停,t 轻轻滑进 you,整块更顺。
  • What do you — What do you 快问时糊成一团,把重音留给 want。
I haven't liked a man in a long time.

我很久没有喜欢过一个男人了。 坦白得近乎脆弱,又用时间跨度把分寸留住,适合跟读。

And I want you to feel comfortable with me, because I'd really like us to be friends.

我想让你跟我相处时自在,因为我真的很想我们做朋友。 把亲密和边界一次说清,语气稳,不逼迫。

I think virginity is lost when you make love for the flrst time.

我认为第一次做爱时,童贞就失去了。 把抽象定义压成一句可争论的命题,节奏干净。

I move to have that remark stricken from the record, on account of it makes you come off as completely naive and infantile.

我动议把这句话从记录里删掉,因为它让你显得完全天真又幼稚。 法庭腔砸进私密对话,讽刺感立刻拉满。

And it's only a once-in-a-while thing reserved for really special occasions.

那只是偶尔为之、留给真正特别场合的事。 轻描淡写里带挑逗,once-in-a-while 很地道。

关于这一章的问题

weird someone out 是什么意思?

意思是让人不自在、觉得别扭。台词里那句 I weirded you out the other night,说的就是「那天晚上我让你挺不自在的」,用来说自己担心冒犯了对方。

「需要时间消化」英语怎么说?

take a while to process。台词里 It just took a while to process,意思是「只是需要点时间消化」,听到某件事之后要缓一缓,就可以这么说。

up close and personal 只能形容亲眼看到的事吗?

不一定。它字面是「近距离、亲身」,可以指真的站在跟前看到,也可以指亲身经历、亲自感受。台词里说的就是那种事第一次离自己这么近,一时没反应过来。

stricken from the record 是法庭上才说的话吗?

不只在法庭。它本来是从记录中删除的意思,法庭上有人说了不该说的,另一方会这样要求。台词里搬出这套说法,说那句话让人显得又天真又幼稚。

once-in-a-while thing 平时怎么用?

就是偶尔才做的事。台词里说它 reserved for really special occasions,留给特别特别的场合。平时说偶尔才喝一杯、偶尔才熬一次夜,都能套这个说法。
